I don't care if he is an ass or not, he's still a Purdue alum and any success he has in the NFL may translate into recruiting for our FB program. |

My contention would be that part of the reason the offense put up points and gave up points last year in Denver is related to the gun-slinging ways. It's a risk-reward situation that I don't think in the end really served Denver well. BTW, the Bears just extended Cutler for two years to the tune of something like $30 million. Have we really seen anything that would warrant tying up cap space like that? |

What I was saying is that when kids see 2 QB's from Purdue who are having success (for whatever reason) at the next level it helps recruiting. Regardless of personality, or whether you or anyone else thinks he sucks, he still is a starting QB in the NFL, and on top of that his team is 6-0. |

Creative Title Here

No offense, but are you seriously trying to argue with UB about how having players in the NFL form your school is good for recruiting? Players from your school being in the NFL = always good There is no argument. Don't fall for the bait. |

Actually I would say it is a good thing for VT. Recruits look at the fact that VT turned Micheal Vick a Dual-Threat qb at the college level into the number 1 pick in the draft and they think hey that could be me. You are underestimating the support in the lower poverty communities that Micheal Vick has. |

I guess that is a valid view if you think society has a collective IQ of 40 |

No but I believe players like Terrel Pryor has already once supported Micheal Vick already this season. The backlash from that came from middle america. I just don't think there is much backlash on a program from mistakes that people make after they leave. If it came back that vick was fighting dogs at VT with Beemer taking and placing bets then it would have a backlash against the program but your basic athlete is going to look at it and say well they turned him into a great pick and he threw it away. I just don't see top black dual threat QBs turning away VT because of Micheal Vick |
