    Grace

    Is Bigger Better In The NFL 2010 Draft?
    http://bleacherreport.com/articles/328632-is-bigger-better-in-the-nfl-2010-draft
    “Son, you say you want to play in the NFL?”“Sure do. I got the stats, so I talked with a coach and he said if I applied myself I could be playing first string.”“NFL? Well, you know you gotta go to a big school...


    RAIDERS Better than I thought they'd play this year. Still, they need a back up QB. All bets off if Al Davis fires coach Tom Cable. There's no telling what Al Davis will do. Big school QB's Sam Bradford from Oklahoma, Jimmy Clausen from Notre Dame, and Tim Tebow form Florida, will not be cheap for Al. So how about Pat Grace, 6' 2" 239 lbs. Quarterback for Northern Iowa. Located on the west side of the Cedar Falls/Waterloo, in northeastern Iowa. Some big names have come out of N. Iowa.
    The Lord reigns, let the earth be glad; let the distant shores rejoice, clouds and thick darkness surround Him; righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne. Fire goes before Him, and consumes his foes on every side; His lightning lights up the world; the earth sees and trembles; the mountains melt like wax before the Lord of all the earth. The heavens proclaim His righteousness and all peoples will see His glory.

    And one of those names will not be Pat Grace. It does go to show that they would rather see what you do in one game against a BCS opponent than an entire season against non-BCS opponents. He would be laughed out of rookie mini camp. Oh, and Pat would go from 6'2" to 6'0" on his pro day, book it.

        He has all the physical tools.

        Right situation, right coaches, right time... You never know.


        And Jeg, he is a legit 6'2.

          As an Oakland Raiders fan....this may be the funniest thing I've ever read.

          The hits that Pat takes at the FCS level.....he would have 3 concussions in one game with the Raiders Oline....

            It would take the perfect situation, the perfect coaches and the perfect time for it to happen. The longest of long shots. I'd say 6'2 is still too short to be considered from a so called 'minor' program.

            BTW, I'm surprised the article writer didn't mention Romo And Flacco besides Warner and Favre as QB from small schools. Pretty amazing that four of the six QB's in the playoffs are from small schools.

              Re: Grace

              And its not as if he would go to a team and play right away if he actually did find a spot. He would be a 3rd string QB for quite a few years, and who knows what would happen? Scouts could see the size, and decent arm, and they might think they could develop him over time and get him for a cheap price.

              I think Romo was a 2nd and 3rd stringer for a handful of years before he even sniffed playing time.

                Put Sander's field intelligence in Grace and he might have a shot. His college field performance would not indicate he could play in the NFL. I'm all for having another Panther in the pros but this seems less likely than Sanders playing in the NFL.
                If computers ruled college basketball the way they do football, we'd have skipped all this March Madness monotony and just waited a month for the Kansas-Kentucky title game. And watched Northern Iowa play Cornell in the Poulan Weedeater Bowl. ~ Dwight Perry The Seattle Times

                  Pat needs to get arrested in a bar fight, and soon if he wants to improve his stock with da Raiders. A commitment to excrement.

                    Ya, ya, ya. I used to be a legit 6'2" as well, until I was measure by Mike Stock with the Washington Redskins. Thats when my friend Chad Setterstrom went from "legitimate" 6'5" to an NFL 6'3". Trust me, until you stand barefoot with a 2" x 8" piece of wood they press down on top of your head and are measured by NFL scouts it is you that will have to trust me.

                      that's dumb.

                      First off, it's only football. Certainly not worth hurting yourself over. (or I should clarify, it's not worth hurting yourself over football FANdom).

                      Secondly, if any UNI alum, regardless of what I thought of them during their college days, goes on to have success at the pro level, I consider it a great thing.

                      That being said, I really doubt that will happen in this case, regardless of what some random blogger says in some corner of the interwebz.

                        Southern Miss. (Favre's alma mater) has been I-A/FBS since 1977. But I suppose if you consider "small school" to be anything outside the automatic BCS conferences, that qualifies.

                        Also, wouldn't it be 8 QBs in the playoffs? (I'm assuming you were referring to the teams that made it to this past weekend)

                          Ya, that's what I was referring to. It was the writer who included Southern Miss. in the small school catagory.

                              It looks better than Amanti Edwards' release - I cringed everytime I saw those "mechanics" in action
