Title: Grant Gregory was a selfish jerk (on the football field)
Post by: PoetWarrior on February 12, 2010, 09:49:32 AM
And likely cost us a bowl game.

Hiding his injuries, pain and ineffectiveness the way he did, solely because he selfishly wanted his one last chance to start on an organized football team, was the furthest thing from being a team player I can imagine.

He did not help us, in any way. Glad he's gone (from the team). What a joke.

Dude, its not complicated.  Gregory won the starting job, even with his injuries.  While injured, he was still the best quarterback on the team.  If he benched himself, he would be allowing a person of lesser effectiveness to play the position and lead the team, which could result in more losses.  I agree that he hid his pain and injuries, but how does he hide his ineffectiveness?

There was a time that he was the best option on the team (Iowa St.), but as the season went on and the injuries got worse, he got worse. He was physically unable to complete a pass against Nebraska. I honestly do not remember him completing a single pass in that game. Between KSU and Manhattan Christian College there were hundreds of young women in Manhattan that had more potential in their throwing arms than he did.

Practice is less demanding than games. He was able to be effective enough in practice to convince the coaches he was capable of playing well in games and this is what cost us, because he flat out wasn't. Had he removed himself for the good of the team, someone else (Coffman, Klein, any healthy man, woman, or child on earth) could have stepped in, handed it to Thomas and been physically capable of completeing simple passes.

Thanks Grant.

What evidence do you have that he hid injuries. Further, he played better hurt than CC anyway.  He gave us all he cuold and you want to trash him? :banghead:

Epic fail post, PW.  Expect more from you.

We have several coaches that watch every practice.  If his injury made him a liability, they would have known.  Fact is, they thought our best chance to win was with GG (and "hidden" injuries).

Coffman was nothing more than a throw in to get Freeman here. The man had no other legitimate D1 offers of any kind. He's not a D1 quarterback. Which is why he didn't, and why he won't ever see the field again for Kansas State.  :piratewave:

No, he didn't.

Yes, absolutely.

Coaches also get some blame, not all. Grant gets most of it.

Not necessarily if they are desperate and unaware.

Yes, they did think that. Yet they did not have all of the information.

Don't like Coffman as a football player, at all.

I love your videos and I understand your motivation for making this thread; really pretty indifferent on my stance on this topic- last year's over.

Since when is it the players responsibility to say who sits and who plays?  The coaches make all those decisions, and get paid well for it.  Unbelievable assertion against GG.  PW you are now the new antagonist taking over for the irreplaceable SD.
