Joel Stave (Bold prediction)

HerschelMember

The guy has been frustrating, sure, and his bone-headed interceptions don't soften that view, but the guy has pro size and makes a number of pro throws also. I'll throw this out there now:

In regards to the NFL, he'll likely be known as "Street Clothes Stave" on Sundays, but I do think someone will see his potential and think "I can make this guy a NFL Quarterback". I think someone will not only sign him, but he's a guy who will actually hang around the practice squad for a few years, maybe even getting a backup job in the league for a couple of seasons. He's a better college passer than Sorgi or Tolzien were, and they've been able to collect a NFL paycheck, there's also a dearth of college QBs who play in a pro style system.

Wasn't it Sorgi who hung around in Indy as Manning's backup? As much as he made me pull my hair out as a Badgers fan I tend to agree with you that he will find a job somewhere. Even if it is only for a couple of years on the practice squad. Not sure he will ever really amount to anything but I could see your scenario happening.

Sorgi hung around as the Mannings' backup, first in Indy for a few years, then in New York.

No mobility and on top of that he may have the slowest release in college football history

he might have NFL size and can throw a rainbow deep ball but he will get killed with NFL game and player speed

To me, he's the kind of guy some coach will say "I can make him in to a player".

They won't, but somebody likely gives him a shot, is all.

I always thought Stocco had a chance to be a pro. Never thought Tolzien would be. Not saying I am a sound talent evaluate by any stretch of the imagination.

Still, can't imagine there is a coach out there who thinks "hmm, I can make this kid react a 1/2 second faster and be more accurate."

He will get a sniff from some NFL team. Maybe he can make it as a back-up or practice squad guy. I just watched Apollo Creed make Rocky into a dancing machine instead of a lumbering ox in Rocky III so anything is possible.

Make him run on the beach and chase chickens and then see what happens.

I am stunned at the strength of Tolzien's arm. He was such a noodle arm in college.
