    You are correct.

    It is characteristic of the unlearned that they are forever proposing something which is old, and because it has recently come to their own attention, supposing it to be new.

Would be sweet to see him get his shoulder completely healed, develop his passing game and smarts some more, get some decent playing time this season, and then generate interest back here in the states. I wonder if there really is as much separation between Jensen and Wentz as the NFL seems to think. I tend to think they are a lot closer in abilities than their NFL experiences seem to suggest. Wentz has a hard time complimenting Brock, it seems - maybe that is just rivalry stuff still lingering since Brock beat him out - but Brock might be better than he is getting credit for.

    Time will tell ... and sometimes breaks fall for one person and not another, or not as fast as for another.
    At lot of unfounded innuendo in that post.

    Actually old news - CBC News Ottowa -
    Ottowa Redblacks Quarterback Henry Burris Retiring - Jan. 23, 2017 (If you google it, perhaps someone else can share the link.)

    burris-henry.jpg Best of EVERYTHING to quarterback Brock Jensen as he continues to climb the quarterback ladder!

    (Would love to go to a game in Winnipeg this Fall, when Ryan Smith's team plays Brock Jensen's team!)

    I think there is a very fine line between Nfl caliber players and many top college players who don't make it. That's why SEC players of the year don't always make it, and why Ndsu can hold now Nfl stars like David Johnson in check (at least some games). The issue, however, is that there are a thousand good to great college players just on the wrong side of that line. So a player might as well be a mile away, given the amount of players trying to get in.
