STOP DOING HEROIN

quote:

Washington redshirt junior CB Marcus Peters has been dismissed from the team, according to Dave Mahler and Adam Jude.

Peters was suspended for the Illinois game due to a sideline tirade after he was benched for an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty. Perhaps the most talented draft-eligible prospect at his position, Peters will have to now answer even more questions about his time with the Huskies but is absolutely NFL bound. Beat writer Adam Jude reports the corner "got into an argument with an assistant coach during practice Wednesday, a source said, apparently the final straw in a series of run-ins with Washington’s new coaching staff." This was after having another argument with coaches during the Colorado and after missing practice on Tuesday. Washington faces UCLA on Saturday. Peters is the ninth player Chris Petersen has dismissed or suspended since taking over in February.


Welcome to the Jets, Marcus

I have to say, Ifo Ekpre-Olomu really sucks. Will get eaten alive by anyone who can leap. Has been terrible this year.

I've watched him in about 12 or 13 games - and I know, small sample size, but I saw Luck in maybe 8 or 9 tops and knew he was a NFL QB. Mariota doesn't have the downfield accuracy or the pocket presence to be a NFL QB. It's basically the same thing almost all of us said about most of the QB busts of the last 10 years.



You are right as well

Jaelen Strong lives up to his name and is real good, no one can stop his back shoulder sideline fade. Also caught a Hail Mary (the worst defended Hail Mary in history)

lol good timing. marcus peters, CB for washington was projected to go in the top half of the first round and one of the top prospects at CB in the country. then today he got kicked off the team after a string of incidents in which he verbally assaulted his coaches and skipped practice and other general assholery

so if it turns out he can get his poo poo together you might be able to grab him for a bargain if he drops to the late 1st or even 2nd

Trae Waynes out of Michigan State is someone to watch too, I like him a lot. Some say PJ Williams out of Florida State is good but Devante Parker made him look real mediocre last week.

While noting that this is the wrong way to watch college ball unless you're actually a scout I think those are probably the big ones for next year. LSU RB Fournette is a huge recruit/prospect but he's just a freshman.

e: pop into the GDT when the game starts and ask there, fans of those teams will have a better feel for under the radar types to watch

Now you're just some QB that I used to know

As much as I think Jameis is human trash, this is pretty far fetched. Unless his Honor Code hearing results in something huge, the guy will still be QB 1a/1b off the board. So top 5. Also, he could continue to do more stupid poo poo and that wouldn't surprise me, so I am only talking about current things.

Point shaving is almost impossible to prove anyway. Unless someone comes forward with evidence of a conversation or agreement with him you're never going to make those charges stick.

Problem is as far as most NFL teams are concerned in their pre-draft process if you've listened to Bob Marley you're a drug risk. The investigation, even if he's cleared is going to be a stain on his prospects.

Yeah, the NCAA investigating him means nothing. Now if the Feds start investigating, then yeah, dude will definitely drop and will get Pete Rose'd out of the league before he enters it.

Yeah I was being facetious, but it is yet another smear on his resume. It's likely that teams will pass on him because of the amount of drama that follows him around.

I can see teams playing the redemption angle pretty hard if they had someone established as a starter and a strong leadership group. I don't think he goes high, especially with the glut of late risers we get every year.

I was talking to peachy Peach about kissy Kiss. He bought me a soda.
Watching FSU and Miami right now, and the Winston comparisons to Roethlisberger are completely apropos. Just watched him pull himself out of a personal foul facemask sure sack, and deliver the ball 30 yards downfield without being even remotely rattled. Then, he short-armed a 5 yard checkdown.

I can't imagine a RB going in the top 5 in this era. I also thought that 3 years ago though and then Trent Richardson happened.

You like a guy who can't even properly mock a draft. Twice he has guys being drafted twice (Goldman (26,30) Parker (22,28)). I'm not saying he's bad but come on.

Also, he doesn't have Jaelen Strong in the first round and that is just a wrong opinion.

Neither Gordon nor Gurley is the super prospect that Trent Richardson was. Gordon is also benefiting from an outstanding Wisconsin offensive line and playing against the Big Ten which is probably the worst power five division. He is legitimately a fantastic college player and I'd be stoked to have him on my team but I get why some people would have pause about drafting him that high.

Gurley is. But that ACL isn't going to do him any favors.

That is a pretty impressive piece right there. When does he normally release that? I'd assume post combine.

Two of the three have retarded offensive coordinators and the other has had injury issues but flashed big time ability.

If there's one thing you can bet on its the arrogance of a front office gambling on a player.
