a reported 6 teams have contacted greg paulus to inquire about his intentions for an athletic career. let me make sure you're completely clear that these are nfl teams, not just, you know, afl teams, or canadian teams. this kid hasn't played organized football since high school, where he set state passing records in new york state.let me remind you that this is the same greg paulus who lost his starting point guard position his senior year at duke. the same duke team who has missed the sweet 16 the past 4 out of 5 years. obviously we're dealing with a transcendent athlete here, right?
dude's 6'1", about as tall as pat white (who is insanely talented and gifted), hasn't played a snap of football in half a decade, and somehow gets a look form the packers and the university of michigan. i think it's a really, really dumb move. the guy was a good player in high school, and has proven himself in absolutely no way to be a legitimate football talent, let alone basketball.
so, packers, although i utterly loathe you, let me give you some friendly advice: lay off the paulus. you don't need to dig through the doo-doo to find a diamond, you can get some of those in the draft if you need a backup qb so badly. besides, what about the dude from louisville you guys drafted? brian brohm not good enough for you? that guy seemingly had more raw talent than paulus does, that's for sure. at least he, oh, i dunno, PLAYED COLLEGE FOOTBALL.
then again, people like antonio gates/future hall of famer/badass make my point completely moot. however, that is a one in a thousand chance something like that pans out. there are better places to find a quarterback, but more on that once the draft comes and goes.
