Today is the big day for all college football players hoping to become professionals in their craft. Everyone keeps saying that the Panthers are taking Cam Newton #1 and while yes he is an amazing athlete I am not so sure that they should use a number one pick on something that isn't a surething. I am not saying Cam doesn't have potential to be a great QB in the NFL but I am just not sure he can jump right in there and be effective this year like a number one pick is expected to be. I mean the fact that all his plays in college were pretty much just numbers that to me will be one of his biggest set backs, learning the plays and coverages and so on and so forth. Plus the Panters already have a Clausen and I know he was horrible last year but really who was he surrounded by on the offensive end? Smith was hurt and not him self last year, sure they have two great running backs but thats about it, I don't think you bail on a guy like that until you give him as fair a shot as you can give him. Now on to some others I will be keeping an eye on this weekend and during their NFL days as well. Well we can start with the obvious ones such as Patrick Peterson, Mark Igram, Marcel Dareus, De'quan Bowers you know all the first round names pretty much but really to tell you the truth I am really excited to see if Tyrod Taylor can prove to some team, any team that if they trust in him to be a QB that he will not let them down. I know VT didn't have the best of years this year and I know you all probably think that the only reason I am saying this is cause he is on that ESPN special Three for the Show, but really thats not true. I liked him when I saw VT play, they keep talking about how athletic Cam is but this kid is twice as atheltic with better accuracy he just doesn't have the size that Cam does. But we have seen with Tyrod Taylors good friend Mike Vick that size doesn't matter and that QB like Tyrod and Vick can be successful in the NFL. But if you ask me who is the most ready to be and NFL QB right now I have to go with the either Mallett, or the red rocket Andy Dalton from TCU. To me if Dalton gets drafted to a team where he can have a chance to be the guy or even have a chance to be a back up for a year and then be the guy I think he will be the one to prove himself first. Now there is one QB I haven't talked about at all and a lot of people aren't talking about at all even though he is one year removed from a national title, and that is Mcelroy from Alabama. While he isn't a top of the draft guy to me if he gets in the right place he could be a great NFL QB some day. Obviously I didn't talk about a lot of big names that doesn't mean I am not going to be watching them and doesn't mean I don't like them or anything I just was focused on QB's cause it seeems like everyone else is as well.
I know we all love a good buzzer beater but last nights Spurs game was on a whole different level. I mean talk about a game changer there was no way the Grizzlies were going to get that OT win last night after Neal drove that dagger through the heart of all Grizzlies fans. First Ginobili sinks what looks like a crazy game tying 3 fading away but not really cause you could tell his foot was on the line, but still without that shot the game is over. Then the Grizzlies inbound get fouled make their shots, Spurs down 3 take the time out get the ball in to Neal from like 28 feet out and he nails it!! That was so intense everyone went crazy when Manu hit the first one then they calmed down and then right as they calmed down and took their attention off the game BAM Neal sinks the shot. I know the chances are that the Grizzlies still win the series but still you can't tell me that wasn't one of the craziest buzzer beaters you have seen in a long time. There are 3 games on tonight and all three games can be series enders, I think that 2 of them will end tonight and one will go to a game 7. The two that I think will end tonight are the Mavericks and the Lakers, if both teams play like they did in the previous games then they will be fine. Yes I know the Mav's blew a huge lead in game 4 but still to me they are the better team, and the deeper they get the better chance they have of Butler coming back and while he won't make a huge difference at first he is still a great add to this already really dangerous team. I told you this years playoffs would be better then any we have seen in a while, and this is just the first round! Rounds two and three and the grand finale are going to be better then ever! The Magic also play tonight and I think since Howard was in foul trouble the last game and his team finally realized hey we can do this without him if we HAD to, now I think we will see a little different Magic team.
Thats all I got for now but I will be back later with a whole post just for baseball so make sure to check back later tonight.
