As i've said we obviously disagree on how QB's should be rated. There needs to come a point where a QB has to stop living on the past (ie 2 or 3 years ago) of getting it done to keep himself ranked ahead of those who are producing at a higher level at that specific time.

Yup it will have been Mark. I'm the hero who broke my own draft strategy when taking Rodgers in the 1st last year.

QB's I listed for my top 10 have all done it consistently for a while including last season. Let's agree to disagree. All this will be futile in a years time anyway. When Sam Bradford is MVP

In which case I apologise profusely!

Even I could win MVP playing QB in that terrible division that is the NFC West.

What do college football followers think about this latest scandal from the U? If you thought USC's punishment was a harsh one, wait until you see this one! If there was ever a case for another death penalty, this is it. They won't issue that though, too much money involved now.

For those that haven't heard, a former University of Miami booster (now doing time for fraud) has come clean about financial benefits given to 'Canes players from'02 - '10. Players include Willis McGahee, Devin Hester, Vince Wilford and more. Some of the benefits include bonuses for in game performance, trips on boats, sex parties and paying for an abortion!!

I presume he'll have to prove it, but if he can it is ridiculous. They'll be absolutely slaughtered by the NCAA. I don't know how the situation works for the players in the NFL if he can prove specific instances involving them, especially about in game bounties etc.

Won't affect the players at all I'm guessing. Nothing happened to Bush.

IIRC the only thing they could have done was take away the awards he won while he was in college.

I read an article about this regarding Vince Wilfork yesterday and it says,

"If the NCAA deems the allegations true, Miami’s program could face the most serious penalties, while Wilfork’s college career could be erased."

Sounds like quite a lot of players are involved aswell!

If there's any mad rich people who want to pay a ton of cash and change the landscape of the University level of American Football, we'll happily take your money at Staffs. Completely legal in Britain.
