congressmanreality 1 Posted April 22, 2006 Write it down...just like Tom Brady and Joe Montana, this guy is way underrated.

Captian America 0 Posted April 22, 2006 Yes in my opinion probably the best QB out there. Now I don't get to follow alot of college games because I work on Saturday but from what I saw in the Senior Bowl this kid should be in a class with Ben Roethlisberger and Matt Schaub ( Who should be starting for Atlanta ), before you 2 Vick fans complain ask yourself why do the Falcons want a 1st Round Pick for Schaub, answer he's that good. You have to feel sorry for the Falcon organization because of all the Vick hype they have to play him and deep down inside they would love to see Schaub out there. Solution let hime run around he'll eventually get hurt and than they can play Schaub. That's not me thinking this it's the Falcons remember Vick said this year I get to run more.

bigmarc27 24 Posted April 22, 2006 I agree Whitehurst is good, but as a Clemson alum I take exception to the team being "lousy." We won 8 and 9 in 2 of his 3 full years as starter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He can't do it all....they have no established WRs, they play a RBBC, you know the coaching staff sucks, hell if it wasn't for the coaches daughter, nobody would have ever heard of him....

Captian America 0 Posted April 22, 2006 HEY!!! Relax...Don't turn my "I love Charlie Whitehurst" thread into a "I hate Michael Vick" thread, we all know Vick Sucks, no need to bring it up ever again. Sorry I didn't mean anything by suggesting that Whitehurst reminds of the Big Ben and Matt Schaub type of QB. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
