Quote from: ksu_FAN on November 05, 2012, 08:03:40 AM#life has a great chance to be very good, but he will have growing pains next year.yes, and our dumbass fans will inevitably turn on him at some point calling for the new Iowan to see some time because he's obviously much smarter and has a better grasp of the offense.
#life has a great chance to be very good, but he will have growing pains next year.
"Son. This is why we are wildcats. Hard work, pride, the heart of this country. And if that's not enough for you, you can just move to California with your punk friends."
RG has a strong arm by NFL standards. Sams appears to have an average arm by college standards God bless KState fans. PULLEN TO THE NBA!
Quote from: stunted on November 05, 2012, 02:16:19 AMQuote from: Nuts Kicked on November 04, 2012, 06:21:55 PMI don't think Klein has a weak arm, either. I haven't seen enough of Sams to say he's got a stronger arm than Klein, but he has a much faster release. I think he will end up being a much better passer.Much better is approaching Robert Griffin territory, and unlike Griffin, he's not a whiney pussy.No, there is a gigantic gulf between Klein's passing ability and Griffin's. Klein puts up his numbers while the defense is loading 8-9 players in the box to stop the run. Griffin put up his numbers against defenses geared to stop the pass.

PULLEN TO THE NBA!what specific evidence do you have that sams' arm is no more than 'average by college standards'?What specific evidence do you have that Arthur Brown's arm isn't stronger than average? I bet you don't have any, do you? So, let's just assume that it is.
Nothing repairs synapses more quickly than the mandoline.
Honestly I think the media is making a story out of nothing here.

Quote from: Emo EMAW on November 05, 2012, 09:11:43 AMHonestly I think the media is making a story out of nothing here. Maybe, but concussions have become one of the major talking points in football, so when the Heisman frontrunner might have gotten one it is going to be a big story.
What I'm saying is that, IMO, there is no rough ridin' doubt CK will be playing, and playing well, this Saturday. And if people knew that it wouldn't be a story.

How about this: Go find a video clip that you think demonstrates Sams's strong arm and I'll respond with a video clip that I think demonstrates someone else's strong arm. Then, we'll compare the two.

I don't know, because I haven't seen him throw a really long pass or anything."

And if people knew that it wouldn't be a story. Only if we were in some bizarro world where Snyder disclosed injuries. I agree that he'll be playing, but that's not where the story lies now, especially after Snyder toyed with the media today.

Sams could end up better but it will be tough.Interestingly there isn't a big difference in numbers besides volume. Rg3 was a threat to run as well, and they had a 1500 yard rusher
