grace has way more ability than sanders no disrespect to eric

Now that's funny. I'll admit that Patrick has a stronger arm than Eric...but overall ability....that has yet to be proven. So what you are saying is that Patrick should have been starting the last couple of years over Eric since he has "way more ability"?

....and whenever someone says "no disrepect to...."....you basically just disrespected them.

I think he was trying to say Grace has more natural ability and maybe more potential (taller, faster, stronger) Whether or not he turns into a better quarterback is yet to be seen.

Plus you cant replace the intangibles Sanders brought to the table.

I've seen plenty of QBs at UNI with more natural ability than Sanders and a lot of them never saw the field.

Didn't a guy by the name of Kurt Warner ride the bench for a few years behind another good QB...only to find out Kurt may have been the better of the two.

Only time will tell with Grace... but if he can stay healthy we may have the makings of another very very good QB.

I like what Grace brings to the table. I know a lot people, me included, hate the word potential, but Grace has a lot of potential to be great.

Re: Looking Into The Future: How Are We Set For '08?

I am not at all worried about Grace at QB. I think he will have a tremendous career as a panther and I am excited to see him play. As far as him being more gifted than Sanders, I say yeah, he is. But that does not mean much. Playing QB is MUCH more about the mental aspect than the physical aspect. It will be tough for anyone to replace Eric when it comes to that, but I am confident in Pat Grace.

This, coupled with the post above pretty much sums up my disappointment with last year. PG had the tools to be a good/great QB and in 2008 I thought he showed good promise. 2009, however, was a regression.

This sums up 2009 for me...

Now can we please burn last year, throw some holy water on the ashes and bring out the 2010 Cats?

Yes it was. I've talked with people who point out how "great his numbers were". I then ask them to look at games against teams not named St. Francis (2 wins), South Dakota (5 wins and none were real impressive), and Indiana State (well, we all know about them). They quickly changed their tune.
