does anyone else share my view of manti te'o? (nothing special)

don't see much more potential than someone like derek smith, can have a nice long career w plenty of starts - but don't see many (if any) pro bowls in his future.

Manti Te'o = badass. I like the guy, he can play

He was good enough to shine enough during the season to be the Heisman runner-up, mostly because of the INTs. However, I was looking for more from him against Alabama and I didn't see him have much of an impact at all...a few tackles, but much like the rest of that defense - he got dominated.

No Thanks. I am sure there are better options out there. Heisman

[Hail to the Redskins]

Anyone notice Nick Florence from Baylor this year performing, statistically, very comparably to RGIII in the Art Briles' offense?

RGIII in 2011:
291 comp - 402 att, 4,293 yds, 37 TD, 6 INT
179 rushes, 699 yds, 3.9 avg, 10 TD

Florence in 2012:
286 comp - 484 att, 4,309 yds, 33 TD, 13 INT
139 rushes, 568 yds, 4.1 avg, 10 TD

Florence is supposed to be a 6th - 7th round pick (if that)... just saying... a flier as a back-up, back-up plan? (Ha)

Seriously though, those numbers aren't strikingly different... and if we start 2013 with Cousins under center while RGIII is still healing... we will need a 2nd string, preferably not Grossman.

I'm not saying this is the best use of one of our late round picks... but the dude learned under RGIII once before...

I think he will be good. He might not be the next Ray Lewis but still a good solid Linebacker, like Sean Lee from the Cowboys, or James Laurinaitis from the Rams, I thought he would show up against Alabama but really only two players showed up for Notre Dame during that game at all, Nix the nosetackle had a good game, won some battles against Barret Jones, and Eifert.

But Te'o will be a solid starter, still he might end up developing into something better because the man has heart.

I don't know about that. Te'o has a more better upside than Derek Smith....I'd say he's more in the mold of Harry Carson or Ray Nitschke in terms of potential....if he's coached up and fits in the right defense.
