I think you're probably a little biased in your assessment, but that's understandable.

Damn you're dumb

What do you think the late rounds are for? They're for RISKS dumbass

NM could turn out to be Eric Crouch or he could be Antwaan Randle El...I'm leaning toward Randle El

Combine that with off the field issues
Reportedly stealing something at Georgia and a ticket at Auburn? Those aren't some outstanding off the field issues like others have had before being drafted.

I just can't see teams taking a chance on a guy like that when they could have guys without question marks who've actually played the position at a high level.
Obviously, the scouts have seen the type of athlete Nick Marshall is. They like what they have seen.

I'm not surprised, with you being a Georgia fan.

but it's a tall task to ask him to make the switch after player there one year since being in high school.


I was thinking the same thing. I didn't know how playing qb for as long as he has would translate over to being a DB in the NFL. Not sure about his hands, but maybe a slot receiver if not a shot at qb.

He could maybe find some success at running back. Denard Robinson was surprisingly good for the Jacksonville Jaguars this year before being sent to IR with a foot injury.

IMO, it would have to be in a change of pace role...

@JamesCrepea: Mel Kiper sees Nick Marshall going in the 4th or 5th round as a DB

Did he play QB in high school?

I wish he would have gone somewhere that he could have developed and played as QB his whole career. He is big and fast with a cannon for an arm.

Yes, and had set the state of Georgia passing touchdown record, IIRC.

He was a really good high school quarterback.

Why are you getting belligerent? It's just an opinion and not necessarily a crazy one at that.

Stealing from teammates. That's a character thing.

For drugs.

And guess what? Welker is a known commodity and producer in the league.

This honestly has nothing to do with me being a Georgia fan. It's not like I'm making irrational statements here. There have been plenty of threads on Marshall and the NFL and the VAST majority of your fanbase on here were of the same opinion. Quit trying to make this something it's not.

Y'all have gotten pretty defensive lately.

A ticket. I repeat, a ticket. You do realize 85% of NFL athletes use drugs, right? Just like college athletes, right? Just like a ton on this board, right? Drugs won't even be mentioned as an off the field concern when he goes to the NFL.
quote:

And, your point? My point was that players use drugs. Since he's a known commodity and producer, it makes it OK? BTW, he's not half the player he used to be. He will struggle to find work when the Denver Broncos release him after this season.

What same opinion is that?

The opinions I see spread throughout is that he will be drafted as an athlete.

Doesn't have much to do with his character. He still did it.

I'm sure it won't be addressed in interviews at all.

My point is he's not a risk. It's easy to look past something like that when you're a guy like Welker vs a guy like Marshall. One is a pro bowler. The other is looking to get a shot at a position he's never played at a high level. Do you really not see the difference?

That he would go undrafted.

Wtc is up with folks not thinking Coop is fast as shite? People keep saying he's gonna run a 4.5. That might be true, but it LOOKS like he's running a damn 4.2 out there.
