i agree, but i like what theyre doing. this reminds me of when mangini said he will "turn over every rock" to find the players hes looking for. the guy had amazing production at a lower level of competition. maybe theyre just looking for lightning in a bottle. either way it never hurts to try.
Hey, you never know...that's what makes it fun! (preemptive defense: I'm not saying he's gonna make it, just that you never know. That kid from Hofstra a decade or so ago would have also been fairly labeled "training camp fodder"!)
Yes I agree nothing ventured nothing gained but what I questioned is he is a scatback & with noodle arm happy feet QB maybe a 6'5" guy would have been better & for sure there have to be some of those out there also
I think it's a great move in a lot of ways. His production has to count for something and he'll be a great addition considering his work-ethic and toughness.There is a great link at the times-tribune website out of Scranton comparing him to Chrebet, absolutely worth taking a look at.
