Kind of paints a different picture of the Christian father......
Pretty good article, doesn't really paint a good picture for either side.
Rumors were circulating that Adams changed his major so he could graduate in time, I guess that has now been proven true
Marc,
Do you think it was a good move by VA? Will you be rooting for him to succeed?
Will I be rooting for him - Absolutely. He is an Eastern grad and a Big Sky player, absolutely want the best for him, just not in week 1 next year. Adams did a lot of good for EWU, a lot, so I hope he succeeds at Oregon and beyond. He took over a program that won the national championship and kept it at a national championship contender level. Brought great notoriety to the program.
Do I think it was a good move? Not sure it is, but I am a bit biased. Huge risk with what kind of reward? He could have broken tons of Big Sky and FCS records this year, gone down as one of the all time greats and still had a shot in the pro's. Pro Scouts already knew all about him before this move. Now he goes to a premier FBS school and has to win the starting job first, and then follow in the footsteps of a Heisman winner. I hope he does well, but there is a huge risk. If he really wanted to move on and prove he can play in the NFL, he should have gone to a team that has a more pro style offense. Oregon doesn't have the greatest track records of QB's with NFL success...
