I can't watch this at work. What's it say?

[Dr Z]

Thanks for posting Emory. You sure know how to pack a lot into 12 minutes.

I hope your right about AJ Price, would go a long way to helping our QB situation.

Thanks Doc!! I try to trim the fat and give you guys what you want!

AJ Price will be a stud for you guys... Trust!

I second Dr. Z's "Thank you!"

I appreciate the effort you put into the production, and I learned a lot about all the 2011 MAC programs.

I like the positive angle you took on all the programs...even the worst of the bunch only contained "Reasons for Optimism."

Maybe a better QB would be the best solution to a bad QB situation?

Hey Emory! Can you put together some video montages for our scoreboard? Nice work.

If this vid doesn't get you excited for the season to start, you just don't like football that much. The AJ Price highlights had me smiling. I hope he lives up to his potential.

Put Luke Getsy at QB for the Zips last season...how many games does he win?

With Getsy we win 5. G-W, Can't, Ball State, Miami & Buffalo. If Nicely would have had just a little better efficiency we win the same 5. We were really close in these games and with QB being such an important position, a little better play from your on field leader means a lot.

If Getsy played for Buffalo last year, the Zips finish 0-12.

But seriously, guys. Now is the time for excitement, anticipation & optimism. The best man for the QB position will emerge and hopefully better production will occur. From number seven or eight.

[Captain Kangaroo]

With Getsy we win 5.

Remember - he doesn't have Harvey or Arthur to throw to. He has Dropsey and Fumbles.

I could see us winning 3 with Getsy last year, but no way 5. Hell...in his senior year Luke was surrounded by a TON better talent and only won 5.

[ZachTheZip]

With any ZNO posters as kicker instead of Igor/Branko we win five.

Thanks Homie!! I'm glad you like the vid! I honestly can't get enough of watching football!

You may have overstated a tad here. I am NG from outside the 20.

I certainly prefer one over the other. Mostly because one of them has been so bad. Maybe neither is the answer, but we sure have nothing to lose. But, I just hope for much better play from that position. Period. We all know how much of a difference a consistently accurate thrower makes in the MAC. I'm just tired of hearing the blame placed elsewhere. LaFrance and Carter just signed free agent NFL contracts, for God's sake.

I'll say it again....a better QB is the best solution to a bad QB situation.

[Dr Z]

....a better QB is the best solution to a bad QB situation.

I'm pretty sure that goes without saying, point in this thread was that Emory thinks highly of AJ Price. If he is the stud that Emory believes, doesn't that help out whomever is under center for the Zips?

[Captain Kangaroo]

LaFrance and Carter just signed free agent NFL contracts, for God's sake.

Each of those guys was about 1/2 as good as Deryn Bowser or Andre Jones. I'm rooting for them, but expect that their camp participation will have the staying power of a mayfly.

Dr. Z....if he's better than what we had, of course it could help the situation, if someone can get the ball to him. But as I just pointed out, we had two senior receivers just get opportunities to play in the NFL. Price will be a freshman with no playing experience. So, I'll have to join you in hoping that he reaches a pretty good level of play very quickly, and have others join him, before we could say that we've improved at that position.

Captain...I agree with your assessment that Carter and LaFrance weren't the greatest, and that they have slim chances of making an NFL roster. My point is that, based on their selection by NFL teams in free agency, it would be hard to make a case that we had scrubs for receivers.

I'll ask the same question I've presented before....Did the other 114 better QBs in D-1A last year all have good OLs and good WRs? Of course not. And some say that the pro-style offense requires a QB in the 65% range to succeed. We're such a long way from that, and we need dramatic improvement at that position as quickly as possible.

[johnnyzip84]

Just to clarify, I believe AJ Price will be coming here as a junior in terms of eligibility. So maybe he can be MAC Newcomer of the Year, but he can't be MAC Freshman of the Year.

Keep in mind that preseason rosters were expanded from 80 to 90 under the new cba, that's 320 spots that were not available before. I started to look at some of the Mac "talent" that my NFL team was signing and wondered if they lost their mind, then I remembered the new expanded roster rule.

Based upon what I saw on the field last year, it is pretty easy to make a case that we had scrubs for receivers.

I'll be sure to inform some people who evaluate football talent for a living that they've completely screwed up by showing an interest in these two "scrubs".

And since we've gotten this good news about two of our former receivers in the last few days, couldn't one conclude that these guys may have had much better numbers if they had a QB who would have delivered the ball to them with any kind of remotely reasonable consistency? It's a much stronger argument when you turn it around the other way, considering the facts.

Should I sit back now and wait for a return to the "then it must have been our OL" argument?

I wouldnt be surprised if someone brought Carter in as a safety. He isnt even close to an NFL wr, but he has the physical tools to be an NFL safety.

I can't wait until Nicely gets a mayfly look in 2013 Browns camp.
