Freebie Friday: Boise State earmuffs for those special ears in your life

Kellen is #1 in my heart! Oh and I have large ears that are in need of being muffed.

of any duck QB (Darron Thomas) being taken before our beloved Dork Assassin. Kellen has owned that team, and the thought of any overrated waterfowl being taken before him will force me to up my meds.

Those earmuffs were made for me, why is that u wonder? 1.) Ive been down n out w a double ear infection for the last week or so.(ouch) 2.) I love BSU football with all my heart and is on my top 3 things i think about most in a day list. 3.) To be completely 100% honest but not really that realistic…….i personally would b disappointed if ANY of the other 18 QBs got drafted b4 our Man Kellen : ) Kevan just sayin ,but those ear muffs look SOOOOOOOOOOOOO comfortable n cozy seriously. Thank u for taking time out of yr day to read this Mr.Lee, im sure whoever u choose will b the most luckiest well deserving and VERY cozy Bronco Fan. Cheers to the winner!

P.S. GO BRONCOS in the year of AK………After Kellen

But, honestly, I haven’t followed most of their careers. Being pragmatic, I think that Captain Kellen will go no higher than at least half of them, and possibly in the lower third. (I certainly hope I’m wildly incorrect in that thought.) But, no matter. I believe that Kellen is mature enough to realize that all he needs is a chance to prove himself to the pros, in combat, and that whichever team he eventually ends up with will pay him a nice living wage to begin, with very healthy increases as his worth becomes more evident.

I, like many in Bronco Nation, felt sad that Ian kept bouncing around from practice team to practice team, but then I saw his compensation. Sure as heck beat mine!

Don’t flame me, Nuggies, these are merely Friday morning musings without a shred of research or background proof. I’ve only had one cup of coffee.

Brock Osweiller has one desired trait, he’s tall. Because of that he most likely will be drafted before Kellen which burns me up. Lets pick the guy that looks like a stallion but plays like a shetland over the guy that looks like a shetland and plays like a pegasus.

I still think that there a few teams that are interested in Moore, going against the grain has proved to be a good idea in the past. I am calling for Moore to be drafted late 3rd round and into the 4th, especially if he has a good combine.

There will be way too many QBs that go before Kellen which I need to accept now to avoid by blood pressure rising. I guess I would like to see Seattle take a chance on Kellen whichever round that may be. I live about 50 miles north of Seattle and getting season tickets to the Seahawks is definitely something I would consider to see Kellen play on Sundays.

At least twelve will go before Kellen. Unfortunately Russel Wilson will be one of them.

Evaluating the field of 19 QBs invited to the combine, I would be very disappointed to see the following 3 QBs drafted before the great #11 (IMO…his jersey should be retired):
1. Jordan Jefferson (LSU) – Jefferson tops this list. You may ask, but why? He plays in the SEC…He has to be elite and a sure thing, right? Wrong. He is very athletic but doesn’t possess the necessary football IQ needed IMO for the NFL, on and off the field. Too soon? Nope, I think not. I didn’t forget that bar fight.
2. Darron Thomas (Oregon) – Sorry Phil Knight, your boy made my list. DT is good system QB for Oregon but I doubt he gets drafted ahead of a seasoned vet like KM. Beware of Vontaze Burfict being thrown out of the NFL combine for using DT as a toothpick after a great meal at one of Indy’s fine restaurants.
3. Patrick Witt (Yale) – yes the Rose Bowl was architectcturely inspired after the Yale Bowl in New Haven, Connecticut so I will give Yale its due. I mean who goes to Yale right? Apparently some presidents did…but what do I know. I heard he transferred from Nebraska to Yale. So if he is the Taylor Martinez type …look out…no chance. He has a better opportunity becoming a President than he does being picked over that cool cat…Prosser Swag.

Drum Roll….Kellen will be lucky #11 off the big board…IMO. How Ironic!

1. He goes lower then 3rd round.
2. If nick roles, Brock oswieler and Ryan lindley! Ryatannehill, and jacory Hollis (because Miami is just evil) go before kellen Moore
3. If he is under appreciated

Ps. I disperse the ear muffs because I need them to stand outside in the student section when football starts……like I did for all the games last year. ……..3hours early each game.

Which of the 19 quarterbacks would you be most disappointed to see drafted before Moore?
All 18…especially Jordan Jefferson (Mr. Battery charges)
Seriously though, I think the most disappointing draft pick before Kell Kell would be Jacory Harris. Why? Well, just look at his TD to INT ratio. Ridiculous. Plus Miami is filled with blasphemous bunglers.

How many of the 19 will find an NFL home before college football’s all-time winningest one does?
1. Andrew “pretty face” Luck
2. Kirk “choke” Cousins
3. Brandon “colostomy bag” Weeden
4. RG3
5. Darron “better get outta here before the NCAA finds out” Thomas
6. Russell “wonderboy” Wilson
7. Nick “no accuracy” Foles
8. “Enter prototypical QB name here”
9. Another BS pick
10. Kellen “kell kell” Moore

He’s just terrible…

I mean, did ANYONE watch that southern miss game?! I’d take the tcu loss over that embarrassment ten times out of ten. I will never forgive him for getting a heisman nomination over our floppy haired hero. at least RG3 has the whole ‘we beat tcu who beat bsu’ thing going for him. And I am glad luck is going 1st draft so that he has to deal with all the pressure and incredibly high expectations that go with joining a losing team as some glorified being.

Which of the 19 quarterbacks would you be most disappointed to see drafted before Moore?
• Brock Osweiler, Arizona State
• Darron Thomas, Oregon
• Case Keenum, Houston
• Jordan Jefferson, LSU
I can’t say for certain about any of the others. Several I think shouldn’t be drafted first likely will be, and for that I’ll be disappointed, but I’ve steeled myself already. The above list is those that would really drive me crazy.

How many of the 19 will find an NFL home before college football’s all-time winningest one does?
10, at least, ridiculously enough.

He’s got the prototypical height, without the prototypical skill. Would be a shame to see him go before Kellen, even though he will.

And I would be absolutely ticked to have a Yale kid go ahead of Kellen (Go Harvard), if Kellen is like the Einstein of football. As mentioned above, I think RGIII, Luck, Cousins, and Russell Wilson are locks to go ahead of Kellen

but with that being said, I’ll still be very disappointed if the following QBs are drafted before Moore (reason below):
1. B.J. Coleman, Tennessee-Chattanooga
2. Aaron Corp, Richmond
3. Austin Davis, Southern Miss
4. Ryan Lindley, San Diego State
5. Patrick Witt, Yale
These are all players who came from non-traditional (i.e. not the "
big boys") schools. None of them accomplished half of what Moore did. There’s no argument you can make about facing “tougher competition week-in, week-out” with the above list.

1. Russel Wilson, Wisconsin
Why? He’s actually shorter than Moore. And less accurate. And certainly not as head smart about the game as Moore. I’m not knocking the guy at all. He was a decent QB in college and had a great year (two if you count NC State). He’s athletic. But the bottom line: you can’t use the “he’s too small” argument for Moore who is undoubtedbly the better passer of the two without making the same argument for Wilson. Period.

1. Jacory Harris, Miami
2. Jordan Jefferson, LSU
Honorabl Mention: Darron Thomas, Oregon
This is a group of athletic QBs who not only didn’t perform to expectations at the college level, but failed on the field and off as leaders. They didn’t get the job done even when given ample opportunity… and second chances.
NOTE: I only included Darron Thomas in this because, althought he DID get the job done, he’s a behavioral risk. He’s also a spread system QB. The NFL has no need for that. If you have a QB, no matter how athletic, that can ONLY pass once the run is established and defenses are keying on that, then you don’t have an NFL-caliber QB. Thomas is talented and athletic but he’s not an NFL quarterback. NFL defenses are much more adept at playing both run and pass at the same time and execute it well. Thomas will get picked apart in his passing game.

Those who will (and according to recruiting standards, probably should) get drafted above Moore (they all have at least two things in common… size and arm strength. Some of them have more):
1. Kirk Cousins, Michigan State (big school, nice size, decent passer with a little athleticism)
2. Nick Foles, Arizona (big passing conference school, he was a decent QB with faults that a lot of teams will be willing to work with him on improving)
3. Robert Griffin III, Baylor (big conference school that he almost single-handedly helped put on the map. Let’s face it, Griffin is a stud and deserved the Heisman. He’s athletic. More so, he’s comfortable and very accurate in the pocket)
4. Chandler Harnish, NIU (small school but good size and excellent athleticism)
5. Case Keenum, Houston (regardless of all the hate in Bronco Nation for Keenum, he’s still a good QB. He holds tons of major D1A records. And he has the size and arm strength)
6. Andrew Luck, Stanford (He’s NFL-ready. He’s smart. He’s deceptively athletic. He’s deadly accurate. He can run an offense without an OC. Out of this group, Luck is the most perfect package. That’s why he’ll go #1)
7. Brock Osweiler, ASU; 8. Ryan Tannehill, Texas A&M; 9. Brandon Weeden, Okie State (all these guys come from big conference schools that pass a lot and they have the size and arm strength the NFL looks for. For no other reasons, that’s why they’ll go before Moore. In fact, those are the only advantages they hold over him. Moore’s better, hands down, in every other aspect of the game and the position.)

Question # 1: Only RG III and Andrew Luck should be drafted prior to KM. I’d be equally disappointed if any of the other yawhoos get picked before Moore.

Question # 2: Due to the NFL’s ingrown stupidity, 8 of those 19 QB’s will probably be drafted before Kellen. The other six are: Brandon W., Nick F., Kirk C., Ryan L., Brock O., and Russell W.

People have different reasons for making decisions. I think Luck and RG3 are the only locks to be good NFL quarterbacks…And historically, most quarterbacks that get drafted don’t make it. Most of these guys will be drafted as guesses as to their potential, not what they’ve accomplished so far. That’s why they will drop Kellen Moore further down the list than guys he’s currently better than. From the perspective a confident NFL quarterback coach, I could understand why he may want a physically gifted guy he can teach how to read/anticipate/etc. over a guy who’s got all the mental side of the game down but not the arm strength to make every throw…that said, I don’t know if I’ve seen Kellen ever get intercepted because of his arm strength, and he’s played against quite a few current and future NFL d-backs.

They are so delightful.

Brock Osweiler better not get drafted before KM! What is more representative than a head-to-head matchup???

I think 4 QBs will be taken before Kellen. As he says, all you have to do is get 1 team to fall in love with you.

For me it would be most depressing if that Patrick Witt clown from Yale was drafted before Kellen. Who is that guy anyways?

Which of the 19 quarterbacks would you be most disappointed to see drafted before Moore?

Yes.

How many of the 19 will find an NFL home before college football’s all-time winningest one does?

None.

Note: these are best case scenario answers as played out in my own mind.

anyone not from a FBS school i’d especially be disappointed in (yeah, yeah, i know if they’re talented enough, blah. still.)

and darron thomas of oregon.

i’d have to say at least 8 will get drafted before kellen moore.

none are better, so anybody drafted ahead of KM are being grabbed for one of the following reasons:

1. actually very good (Luck, RGIII)
2. potential – Cousins, Foles, Keenum, Harnish, Tannehill
3. size – Osweiler (some team may have a lot of stuff on a high shelf they can’t reach)
4. maturity (age) – Weeden
5. ego/short – Wilson (Napoleonic)
6. stupidity/poor performance – Harris, Jefferson (Jamarcus Russell Memorial Award)
7. really a “scat back” but I gotta get out of O – Thomas
8. give the FCS some love too – everybody not FBS
9. just throw it long, maybe somebody will run under it – Lindley

The cool thing is – Moore has crushed a number of these guys head to head, most very recently – Wilson, Weeden, Keenum, Lindley, Osweiler and Thomas.

Bronco Nation – Keep thinking bout Andy Dalton, Blaine Gabbert and Jake Locker. One is good, but all got drafted very early last year. I think KM will go by the 3rd round, but only care that he is drafted.

The QB I would be most upset: toss up between:
1. ASU Brock Osweiler – He looked horrible and had absolutely no control in the Vegas Bowl and his tallness is borderline dorkiness.
2. Houston Case Keenum – Yes, he racked up a lot of yards & TD’s but that was because he played forever in games (plus he had a partial extra year). As a result, a lot of talking heads put him in the same category as Kellen Moore. Not even close. I think someone did a calculation a while back about yards & TD’s by quarter played and KM blew him away.

9 … no 10 … no 9 QB’s will find a home before Kellen Moore. That is my final answer.

I don’t care who gets picked ahead of KM. I care that he gets picked by a team that wants him there and will give him a shot. I would think a west coast O would be a good fit.

He’s only in it for the free hoes..

Because nobody deserves to go before Kellen Moore. And I’m also in BSU football withdrawal.

I like whats behind door # 3, Kellen starting his career as the new QB coach @ Boise State following Pete’s steps…..imo

Earmuffs coming your way, my friend. Thanks to everyone for the great comments.
