    I wouldn't be so sure. Andre Roberts has 14. I guarantee if he gets cut, Sam's taking 14. I'm not ordering my jersey til the final 53 is announced. Which sucks because I feel like I need it right now.

    If he can be a QB version of Curtis Martin, we're in for a bloody treat, and no mistake.

    I'm holding off until the team announces the number is official and not changing. Likely the final 53 like you said. Also curious for what they unveil on the 17th.

    Trojan insider???? That loud, bloated, POS is widely hated by most of us..he was team captain on one of the worse USC teams in history, and his envy and vicious gossip mongering is worse than a cheap low class woman. He was fired from announcing USC basketball games, and disliked by every coaching staff since Pete Carroll who called him out on PAC10 Media Days for his personal attacks on some of the players. It was beautiful. I wouldn’t take anything he says as an “insider.”

    I could see Sam offering him a steak dinner at the restaurant of Roberts choice for the number.

    Can’t be sure but if memory serves me correctly the last “big name” QB before that was probably O’Donnell.

    I thought O'Donnell wore 14! O'Brien wore 7 correct?

    Then its a no brainer.. Give Bad Sam 14. The guy wearing it presently will just have to suck it up. I'm sure he wouldn't mind especially if they ask him "nicely"...

    The only other guy I can remember wearing it was Troy Taylor. I remembering telling my wife I wanted to name our first son Troy because I thought he was going to be our FQB!

    Needless to say we didn’t name him Troy.

    I admit I used to be a huge Matt Robinson fan.. That didn't work out so well either... :)

    For me what separated SD from the rest is that he has the evasiveness and the ability to make plays when he has to with his feet but first and foremost he’s looking to throw that’s very important

    I loved the wording of his answer when asked what he was feeling when the Jets were on the clock and both he and Rosen were still there.

    He was only thinking about that phone ringing, but he remembered talking to all of the talent at QB in that green room... he and Lamar, and both Joshes as well.

    That's what this article likes about him. Key sentence: "Therefore, we look for prospects who don’t run often but are efficient when they choose to run." https://www.themaven.net/nfldraftsc...ionally-mobile-riVbed6uCk6QRArpZ1vQsQ/?full=1

    At his size his agility is impressive and his ability to throw on the run, whether rolling left or right is off the charts.

    I am. Maybe my avatar clued you? Lol.

    I hesitate to say too much, or go into what we think was great about Sam...you will see for yourselves soon, nothing worse than a slobbering fan boy that cares nothing for the team itself. That is contrary to everything Sam is as a leader. My season tickets, and tailgate friend is Jordan Palmer's father in law, and a good friend is the publisher/owner of a USC recruiting site, so happy to share little tidbits that I can.

    We're fortunate that our players are very accessible to us as fans, the alumni clubs, and special functions. The USC football roster lists social media accounts and member names of every player on the team....Sam was only on Instagram, but the school set up his own podcast with weekly guests, so he's comfortable in the spotlight.

    If you wish, pm me and I'll answer what I can.

    Compared to the Tebots that infested the site when Woody signed Tebow, you sir are a breath of fresh air. Welcome to the board!
