There are some NFL people who feel like you do. Drew Brees and Baker Mayfield are around 6 feet tall. I think the player many are looking at as a comp is Russell Wilson who is roughly just over 5'10" around the size of Doug Flutie. Murray might even be a bit shorter than that. Murray is faster...

Uninspired is the word for these bowl games albeit it was nice to see Miami go down in flames to Wisconsin. Too many walking wounded. Star Wisconsin LB Ryan Connelly sat out the bowl game yesterday with an undisclosed injury whatever the hell that means. He is a draft prospect. And as...

Fringe means he is seen as a player just off the draft grid. Most fringe players miss getting drafted and end up as priority free agents. I personally grade Laird as a 6th or 7th round pick but my opinion means squat since I have no say in what happens to players come draft time. I will say his...

Good grief yesterday was a flat out disaster. First BC DE Zach Allen was walking around in a boot which may affect his draft status. He is currently looked at as a first round prospect. Then the BC-Boise State is canceled due to lightening. I was hoping PR/WR/KR Michael Walker of BC would make a...

Starting today with the semifinals Saturday and a heap of games on Monday and New Years we are in the thick part of the bowl season. Apart from New Years and Saturday I will only be able to watch the 9:00 PM EST games the next few nights although I get home earlier than usual New Year's Eve so...

I watched the entire Raiders game and it was very clear Jordy and his key third down receptions were integral in the Raiders commanding victory. Jordy was solid all night with a 7-75 stat line. And each catch was at an important juncture of the game. QB Derek Carr has not thrown an interception...

Several things about WR Humphries stand out. He is never talked about even when he was at Clemson. He is still only 25 years old and is obviously just starting to enter his prime. And even though I haven't seen too many Tampa Bay games over the years he always seemed faster than reported when I...

Coming off a stirring bowl win with WR Alex Bachman picking up 171 receiving yards this is a team and a head coach on the upswing. Looking back RB Cade Carney as reported reached 1000 yards rushing and Bachman bolstered his stat line for the year to a solid 37-541-6. In fact despite the...

Funny Don brings up Jason Sehorn because he came to my mind too as we try and place CM in an historical context. As I have stated and we are starting to see it I predict there will be more starting black QBs in the NFL in the next decade. And some may turn out terrific. The pipeline from HS to...

One more week left and I am in the mood for a rant. Games I watched yesterday. Entire Patriots game. End of Eagles and Packers games. 2nd half of Steelers. And last night's Chiefs game. I'll start with the headline news. Or like CNN where everything is "breaking news." It is official. Chris...

Yes Jokic and Sabonis are both pretty young. Worth noting Furkan Korkmaz scored 16 easy points off the bench in a 76ers win last night He is becoming a nice compliment to JJ Redick who is having a banner season. Also bench players PG T.J. McConnell and Mike Muscala have been contributing too...

Apparently Tate Martell issued out a warning tweet to Fields suggesting that Martell isn't going to step aside and play dead if Fields transfers to Ohio State. Ha. I thought Leo Fan would appreciate that one. Also Michigan QB Shea Patterson is staying at Michigan. I applaud the move. One of my...

A few notes from the weekend. Kyle Guy had 16 efficient points as Virginia remained undefeated. Kansas lost their first game last night to AZ ST. Elsewhere KY beat NC as Tyler Herro put up a hard earned 15. Still hasn't found his stroke but he has perfect form. Needs to relax. And I got a...

Apart from the MLB All Star game and even that is usually a roaring bore I have thought that all star games in the NHL, NBA and NFL should be eliminated. The Pro Bowl is the worst of the sorry lot. Odd that for all of the NFL injury concerns and shortening of preseason that they continue...

I don't follow the NBA anywhere like I used to but it is a shame that the three top white players of the past several years have been hampered by injuries. Dragic has been battling knee problems for a while now and has finally been shut down for a couple of months. Porzingis is still recovering...

Excellent reporting from Jack Lambert. A few odds and ends. As for Rex Pflueger his ACL tear is unfortunate. While he was having his best season so far he was still only averaging 8 points a game. An excellent defender and terrific athlete with hops over 40 inches I envisioned a much better...

Damn the thing I hate about Bowl season is I miss the afternoon and early evening weekday games. And today there are two nifty matchups. FIU plays Toledo at 12:30 EST. We know about WR Cody Thompson but FIU has two WRs to root for as well. They have been mentioned here at CF several times this...

Yes DE Sutton Smith declared for the draft. Great move and Leo Fan makes a good point if an undersized edge black athlete can be picked early why not Smith? I have Smith graded as a second round pick. I think he is a great pick. Probably not an every down player although he is so clever and...

Good post Don and most everyone warned here at CF that picking up Gordon was a mistake. The media as usual thought it was a great defining move. WRONG. I know many see this site as too extreme but if leagues paid more attention to CF they would be better off. And Gordon looked slow and...

AJO finished the game with a 29-164 stat line. Also caught two passes for 33 yards. Ohio shut out and thumped mainly black SDS. He was awarded the player of the game. AJO also showed great blocking ability something you rarely see in RBs. AJO finished the latter part of the season and now this...

I dislike delivering bad news but here it goes. The reason I am not posting this on the College Football News thread is because both player's teams are involved in upcoming bowl games. Utah quick as a firefly WR Britain Covey tore his ACL in the last game of the season. Much like another small...

Here is why I think Jordy has a good year or two left in him after this season. He had a monster game early on catching deep passes. But consider this. In the middle of the season he was targeted only 12 times in a five game stretch. And he often was not on the field. I know he was banged up for...

Backrow is right what a weird game. Is it me or has the site gone very quiet apart from some active members? For example is Don on hiatus? Anyway did anyone catch CM cursing at the end of the game? Two or more questions have to be asked. Has Rivera used up his time at Carolina and with new...

J.J. Watt is playing as well as anyone in the NFL of late. If teams don't double team him they will pay. Forget about blocking him with a TE. He throws them aside like a rag doll.

Thanks for the informative posts Jack Lambert. Nice to see Jon Axel performing well. Too bad Butler lost on a last second heave by Indiana yesterday. Rising sophomore F Sean McDermott had 20 and nailed five three pointers. Tyler Herro scored 17 in a Kentucky win. His outside shot hasn't been...
