Think Vernon was invited to "try out" with the Seahawks.

Mini camp. He wasn't tall enough for regular camp.

Must be this tall to ride this ride.

Adams is 1/8 inch taller than Russell Wilson. Don't think it's just height. Must be other things.


Like Wilson has talent and Shoota doesnt.................

What happened to your prediction, actually statements, that Adams wouldn't make it at Oregon. Your talent/success predictions involving players have been quite pathetic for multiple years. Don't think you've gotten a Griz prediction correct for a long time. I know you blew many. Maybe you got one or two right.

I cant speak for AG but he gets more right than he misses. He nailed Biermann years before anyone else and he knocked Wentsz out of the park. Adams really didnt do much at Oregon but he did lose some games and I think a bowl game so he has that going for him. Looks like the NFL thinks he is not worth a damn as well.

He was right about Tripp, Holmes and Jones as well. Whats your beef bro? Is he too on the money?

LMAO, Alpha with his best Ricky Henderson impersonation. (Those who followed Ricky Henderson's baseball career will get it).

Biermann's last season for UM was 2007. That's going back a bit. Was there anyone on egriz that didn't think Biermann was great and would make it in the NFL.

No, he didn't get Wentz right. He said he'd be the first pick in the draft. He wasn't.

Adams did plenty at Oregon. No, he didn't lose a bowl game. Oregon had a 31 point lead at half time when Adams was injured. Adams led the Pac-12 in passing efficiency, at 179. Hogan of Stanford was 2d at 171. Goff was 3d at 161. Adams threw only 6 interceptions.

Tripp? Huh. Alpha trashed him constantly and said he wouldn't make the NFL.

Holmes and Jones? Huh, where did he support them. Everyone on egriz did, but I'm not sure Alpha did.

Good joke, Alpha.
 
Give Alpha some room...ever since his favorite girl friend left him he has not been on top of his game.
The little Mexican tequila drinking girl left him last season. She is now working at a famous bar in Southern Cal.
The predictions from his friends: Most hope he gets over her soon. If so be sure to watch out for his over the top football forecasts!

I believe you meant to post this under a different user name.
 
I recall Adams sending out a desperate tweet looking for advice from Wilson before transferring to Oregon.
 
From what I am hearing......VA did have offers to sign an UDFA contract as several teams had interest...but he took so much time jerking teams around that they soured some on him and spent their money on others.....hence all he has now is a couple tryouts.....

How dumb! I wonder why he would do that.

Wow. I generally wouldn't bargain for more money without an actual job, but maybe he had his reasons. I wonder what he could leverage? "Give me more money, or I will just not play in the NFL, so there!"

he was attempting to leverage the offers against each other thinking a team would up the ante.....since he is the self proclaimed second best QB in the draft....no way they would all pull the offers.....

20 years from now.....Adams will have better numbers in pro ball than Wentz.

I bet you're right.

Like most people posting on the board I have seen both quarterbacks in person and have always thought VA was better. Obviously Vernon doesn't fit the NFL's ideal measurements, but when the pads are on VA can play pretty damn well. I think he will be a better pro than Wentz too.
 
Jeff Garcia was only two inches taller than Shoota. He started out in Calgary, had a decent career up there, and moved to the NFL. He wasn't the most fleet of foot, but played really well in San Fran and Jax, I think. And in today's NFL, a QB like Adams might have a shot(at someone-with a gun). No, he's a competitor and he could fit in well behind Wilson in Seattle. kind of hoping he sticks there.
