Yay, more immaturity from the clown with the troll face sig.
Yeah. I mean it can't be anymore moronic than watching two games and saying he's an Andrew Luck clone based on that.
Lulz.
Nice try.
Did you just say watching a couple hours of game film is just as moronic as comparing a player based on recruiting rankings? Oh please.
Recruiting rankings aren't the end all be all. But it gives an overall feel for the player. Luck was one of the Top 3-5 QB's in the country by every service. Childress is not. In fact a few don't even have him ranked nationally. Meanwhile Luck was. Calling him an Andrew Luck clone given all teh avilable evaluations is laughable.
Overall feel for the player? No.
But their are statistics suggesting stars indicate how good they will turn out. However, when looking at individuals, it's a complete crap shoot. 2 stars turn into great players and 5 stars flop. Not sure how you can get a "feel" for a specific player based on what some guy ranks him.
and again, I'm not evaluating him based on what some regional scout ranked him. I'm evaluating him on what I've seen. Similar styles, similar odd throwing motion, similar smarts, similar size. As I stated, he is "practically" a clone. I maintain that playing in a private school league hurt his ranking, but if you go by offers, just as many big schools went after Ford as they did Luck. But some schools may have backed off Luck based on his desire to go to a great engineering school (this does happen)
Yes.
He is not an Andrew Luck clone.
Frankly, he compares more closely to Brady Quinn when he came out of Ohio than Luck.
Okay, that's a better discussion. Now you need to qualify your statement with evidence. Why do you think this?
.
Can't even remember where it came from.
Nice.
WVU Message board :fap: among fans.
Cute.
I know it wasn't scout, and I think it's rivals. But I saw something on Ford's ESPN profile saying he compares to...and then it cuts off, so it may have been ESPN. I know the WVU forum does have a moron or two who will post ESPN insider information against the rules, so it's possible that ESPN could be the source. But no, the quote didn't come from a WVU fan, it came from a professional.
You called him an Andrew Luck clone. Luck is the best QB in college football. Offering a critique of Gunner Kiel as being overhyped then over hyping a 3 * prospect by calling him a clone of the best QB in college football and best pro prospect since 1998 is laughable.
To be fair, I didn't say he was an exact clone. They share a lot of similarities on the football field and they grew up together playing pitch and catch in the back yard. They could have picked up pointers from Oliver Luck or share similar views on football.
I do admit "clone" wasn't the best term. Saying he isn't an exact clone is a bit of oxymoron (how can you be a clone if you lack similarities) But alas, it's merely an analogy.
:lol: Whut? ESPN doesn't even have Kiel as the top QB in the country for one thing. And ESPN already ran a story on him today and it wasn't gushing.
Talk about being a bitter WVU fan.
ZOMG Your HS QB will getmore hype than mine!
Who cares.
Was just using ESPN as an example. Your QBs have gotten a lot of hype in college and NFL draft for no good reason other than they wear a sparkly golden helmet.
Congrats on restating what I said.
For being a troll, you sure don't pick up on sarcasm very well...
Bitter WVU fan is bitter.
compared to the ND fan who got upset when I doubted Gunner and his mentality?
Quinn wasn't. hell QUinn was an afterthought for Ty. The only reason Quinn got an offer was because Ndukwe's dad suggested it. Quinn wasn't rated nationally and wasn't nearly as well thought of as Clausen as a recruit.
Clausen was being chased by everyone. Overhyped? Sure. But that would haev happened had he ended up at USC too. Kid was/is a cock.
Doesn't seem like much currently.
I always thought Quinn was the better QB than Clausen, but during his time at ND he got a lot of love for not doing a whole lot.
Yeah because we all know internet message boards = truth tellers.
Are you new to the web or something?
ZOMG! Someone on rivals said Gunner is a jerk!
They were talking this way about their #1 QB commit. I know that people have a lot of info on recruits from my local area. I don't see how it's hard to believe that people on the internet actually might know family and coaches.
At Indiana. He does. His brother blows and so does the kid they have now.
So no red flag pops up when a recruit demands to be the starter from day 1 without taking one snap in practice? Is that what you want from your team leading QB?
Pot meet kettle.
You have NO clue what you are talking about at all.
ZOMG, Gunner Kiel shouldn't be getting hype! My shitty 3* recruit going to WVU should! He's the clone of Andrew Luck!
Coming from a guy who thinks you compare recruits based on where they are ranked? Or a guy who thinks genetics determines position on football field?
lol
I also never said Gunner shouldn't get hype, I said he will get overhyped by Notre Dame and their fans, just like BQ and JC.
and so much for "i never said Ford was bad" statement...
