Paulus is becoming Favre’s Heir Apparent in Hype
I honestly don’t understand the Greg Paulus as QB hype that has swept the NCAA recently. Apparently, undersized white former point guards are en vogue for the QB position this year. Then I come across this quote from the head coach of his transfer destination:
“The only feedback that I got from his throwing ability was from an NFL workout,” Marrone said. “It was basically just a correspondence of, that he threw the ball very well. Those were the words told to me. From the standpoint of my actually seeing him throw the football, I have not seen him throw a football. The only time I saw Greg throwing the football was the tapes of him in high school. So I have not actually have seen him, physically, with my own eyes, throw a football.”
This defies all logic and reason. Imagine you needed a new desk chair because you weren’t satisfied with the options currently at your disposal. So you decide to invest in a used bean bag with some wear & tear, sight unseen and make a big deal about it to anyone that will listen. Sure, at one point a bean bag was a halfway decent place to sit but that doesn’t make it a good desk chair, especially if you’ve never actually looked at the bean bag yourself.
Plus the bean bag got dunked on all the time, which doesn’t help.

Syracuse blogger Troy Nunes is an Absolute Magician had the best take:
Does this remind anyone else of the plot to an 80’s sex comedy? Are we going to find out that Greg Paulus is actually a girl? (Wait, don’t answer that…).
