Did you guys think he was going to play qb then go on to be a starting qb in the nfl?


I think the hope was he would come and fill the hole that Perrilloux's dismissal created and that Lee and Jefferson struggled to fill. I think most were hoping for Dennis Dixon or Pat White (or Randle-El). So, I guess, in a way, I was expecting him to play quarterback. In the NFL, I had no idea and wasn't all that worried about whether they would Eric Crouch/Matt Jones him.

ETA: And once he was on campus and wasn't going to be allowed to work with the QBs anymore, I was hoping he would be a Chris Rainey/Jeff Demps gadget player with a ceiling of Percival Harvin.
