Funny how all the low-informed Gustafson haters have STFU the last 2 months.

Gustafson would easily start over the shit bag options the Griz currently have at QB.

:shock:

BG, average QB at best

HHB, strange you should say he was average when last season you defended him being the Griz QB? He was the best for the Griz and Stitt should not sub one of his other QB options. Did you lose your love for BG?

 

[PhxGriz]

Gustafson was the best QB last year, too bad he couldn't fully translate his grasp of the offense onto the field.

 

[IdaGriz01]

Postponing the Griz QB discussion (preferably to another thread) ... overall, non-FBS teams have done a bit better this year than last.

Of course, last year we had the Wentz circus. But after three rounds, only four non-FBS players had been picked. This year, if you include two picks right near the end of the third round, there have been six.

Last year, after Wentz, the next non-FBS came as 39th pick, then down to #62. This year, the top three non-FBS picks came at #13, #27 and #69.

Like I say, somewhat better, even if not spectacular. And either of these years is better than 2015, when only three non-FBS players had been picked at this point in the draft (#46, 61 and 86).

Any reference to BG being an NFL quarterback is insulting. He's not even within a zip code or two. If you are clueless or just trying to stir sh!t up...well...ok. People react differently to comments that are waaaaaaayyyyyyy off base... :egriz:

Cooper Kupp - 5th pick round 3 to LA Rams

Curious, what's the highest pick ever for a Big Sky player?

I suspect that, far in the past, the Big Sky has had some high picks. But over the last ten years (2007-2016), here's what I found (pro-football-reference.com):

065 Trumaine Johnson, DB, UM (2012)
085 Ramses Barden, WR, Cal Poly (2009)
111 Miles Killebrew, SS, SUU (2016)
125 Taiwan Jones, RB, EWU (2011)
129 Julius Thomas, TE, PSU (2011)
133 David Hale, T, WSU (2008)
135 Matt Johnson, DB, EWU (2012)
139 Brandon Burton, DB, SUU (2011)
154 Kroy Biermann, LB, UM (2008)
157 LeShawn Sims, CB, SUU (2016)
171 Jordan Tripp, LB, UM (2014)
171 Shann Schillinger, DB, UM (2010)
179 Caleb Schlauderaff, G, SUU (2011)
181 Tyrone Holmes, OLB, UM (2016)
182 Adam Hayward, LB, PSU (2007)
204 Lex Hilliard, RB, UM (2008)
212 Courtney Brown, DB, Cal Poly (2007)
214 J. D. Folsom, LB, WSU (2009)
221 Brad Sorensen, QB, SUU (2013)
222 Caleb McSurdy, LB, UM (2012)
222 Marc Mariani, WR, UM (2010)
225 Jake Rodgers, T, EWU (2015)
226 Mitchell Van Dyk, OL, PSU (2014)
235 Jimmy Wilson, DB, UM (2011)
239 Michael Person, G, MSU (2011)
252 Beau Sandland, TE, MSU (2016)
255 Tim Toone, WR, WSU (2010)

Some memorable names on that list. (Yes, I might have missed someone ... but I hope not. )

I said he was the best option, but he was still average.

Walter Payton, 4th pick. Jerry Rice, 16th pick, I think. Too Tall Jones, 1st pick. Steve McNair, 3d pick.

Kupp, Ebukam 1st Big Sky players called in NFL Draft
http://skylinesportsmt.com/kupp-ebukam

From this story:

The Rams continued their recent history of drafting FCS players. With the 125th overall selection, Los Angeles selected Eastern Washington defensive end/outside linebacker Samson Ebukam. Kupp’s selection is the highest by a Big Sky player since Montana cornerback Trumaine Johnson was selected by the Rams with the 65th pick of the 2012 draft. Ebukam’s selection makes EWU the second Big Sky team in as many years to have two players selected. Southern Utah safety Miles Killebrew as a fourth-round selection by the Detroit Lions last spring, going a round before SUU cornerback LeShaun Sims was picked by the Tennessee Titans.

EWU is the third Big Sky team in five years to have two players drafted. The 2012 Griz had two players drafted; UM middle linebacker Caleb McSurdy, the 2011 Big Sky Defensive MVP, was picked in the seventh round of the 2012 draft by the Dallas Cowboys after Johnson was selected by the Rams, who then resided in St. Louis.

Montana also had two players drafted in 2010 (safety Shann Schillinger in the sxith round, wide receiver Marc Mariani in the seventh round) and in 2008, when defensive end Kroy Biermann was a fifth-round pick and running back Lex Hilliard went in the sixth round.

Kupp is the second-highest draft pick ever out of EWU, behind only Michael Roos, a second-round selection (41st overall) who played 10 successful seasons as an offensive lineman for the Tennessee Titans. Kupp is the fifth second-day selection (second or third rounds) from the Big Sky since 2004, joining Johnson, Roos, Montana State cornerback Joey Adams (3rd round, 70th in 2004), and Weber State offensive lineman Paul McQuistan (3rd round, 69th in 2006).

Northern Arizona wide receiver Shawn Collins is the last Big Sky player to be selected in the first round. He went 27th overall to the Atlanta Falcons in 1989. Montana State defensive lineman Bill Kollar was the 23rd overall selection by the Cincinnati Bengals in the 1974 draft. Weber State running back Lee White was the 17th pick of the 1968 NFL draft by the New York Jets.

Some memorable names on that list. (Yes, I might have missed someone ... but I hope not. )

Ramses Barden and Courtney Brown played for Cal Poly when they were FCS independent. Chris Gocong was also a third-round pick out of Cal Poly in 2007 before they joined the Big Sky.

Vincent Jackson was a second-round pick out of Northern Colorado when UNC was still Division II, although many Griz fans remember his performance at Washington-Grizzly Stadium his senior year. I would put that game on par with Lorenzo Jerome's performance for St. Francis last season among the top performances by visiting players to WA-Griz.

I said he was the best option, but he was still average.

Really not sure why that's so difficult for people to understand?

Has he been drafted yet ? Wasn't he supposed to be a mid rounder? Hahahahaha

 

[BadlandsGrizFan]

I actually can't believe Lorenzo Jerome hasn't been taken yet. Guy should be gone.

 

[BadlandsGrizFan]

Lorenzo Jerome -- have not seen his name yet.

I actually can't believe he may not be drafted. Every time my cowboys come up I get hope. The kid is gonna prove people wrong big time.

Because I am dick? I don't know.

Why be a pussy?

Funny... I've read no name jackoffs take shots at Gustafson for the last 2 years.

Not sure what the benefit of running down players on the team you support. Seems childish and small-minded. One who does that probably has their own ego and identity problems.

I am fine. Thank you. Talk football..

Did you criticize all the people dogging on Brady or any past Griz player?

Or is this some pathetic ego, identity crisis you are having with me? (Happens a lot dude. Don't be ashamed).

Look, you have enough problems, you're in the electric bummer at church posting about how shitty the current Griz QB roster is. Sounds like you won the shitty trifecta.

A word of advice, life is short. Enjoy the season. We all only have so many.

Yes, lets talk football! Lets leave the shitty comments about the current student athletes off the board. .

Yeah, i was pretty sure going back ten years would get me past when some of these teams were not Big Sky. But I was buzzing back and forth with the draft (and honey-do's), so I didn't try to make that distinction. Thanks! (Of course, I ignored draft picks from Idaho, for the reverse reason :lol: )
