4 Years Since You Took A Snap….Here’s The Starting Quarterback Position

Donovan McNabb Is Rolling Over In His Grave

Hey Cameron Dantley nobody at Syracuse University cares if you threw for 1,298 yards and 11 touchdowns last season and that your a senior, its time to move to that spot on the bench because the 2005 Gatorade Male Athlete of the Year Greg Paulus is here. Yeah it’s been four years since he last took a competitive snap but he’s been busy getting posterized playing basketball down at Duke University with Mike Krzyzewski.

We know head coach Doug Marrone promised you the job in March after you performed well during spring practice but he can’t waste a year on you sophomore Ryan Nassib. Especially when the roster has a star quarterback with only this year of eligibility remaining from Christian Brothers Academy. This gives you time to watch how this once in a lifetime talent at quarterback handles the Big East Conference.

Charley Loeb lets face it, your a freshman and this might be the only pub you get all year. You just don’t have the experience under center in Division 1-A. That would be silly for head coach Monroe to play someone with no snaps to their resume.

The cutest thing of all was how Paulus, who joined the team in July, tried to down play his greatness on media day by letting everyone know he did have a difficult time transitioning from hoops to football because there where more names of teammates to remember now.

“Having this many guys is something that I am not accustomed to, going from 12 to 75 guys, so it has taken a little bit longer to learn those guys’ names and learn all about them. But it has been fun. We have a great bunch of guys here and they’ve been great and nothing but supportive of me.”

When that number 2 jersey enters from the tunnel for the season opener at the Carrier Dome to face the Minnesota Gophers on September 5, the Syracuse pro-style offense will be in good hands. Why wouldn’t it be, its only been 4 years since he last played plus he has the distinction along with Minnesota Twins catcher Joe Mauer of being the only  Gatorade National High School Football Player of the Year that did not play football at the collegiate level.

Take a moment and bow Doug Monroe and Greg Paulus for crapping on the Syracuse University football program which is renowned for producing All-Americans and as well as Professional Football Hall of Famers. Among the athletes you are disgracing Ernie Davis, Jim Brown, Larry Csonka, Art Monk, Jim Ringo, John Mackey, Floyd Little, Dwight Freeney, Marvin Harrison, and Donovan McNabb.
