    First, thanks for the FREE PUB

    Second, the "golden goose" of the online community being KJV's biggest mistake is spot on. I had mentioned that to him years ago because that was the competitive advantage that nobody could replicate. Of course, in all his business sense as a CEO, he pissed a competitive advantage that any smart business owner would know was an asset that you couldn't pay enough for and piss it all away.

    Finally, with regard to Browning, I didn't stay through the entire Spring Fling and really only stayed long enough to see the warm-ups. The first thing that stood out to me in watching the QBs was that the way Browning carried himself screamed of him having the "IT" that you look for out of the QB position and it was as apparent that he had that swagger about him as it was that the other two didn't have that swagger. It looked effortless for Browning in making the throws and just watching out other players, etc. interacted with him it looked to my highly untrained and distant eye that he was the one that most of the guys were assuming would be the long-term answer at QB. He will have his challenges as he adjusts to the speed of the game, etc. But similar to how everybody is all hyping up Goff this year, the benefits of getting Browning into the game this year will be the payoff that we will have over the 2016, 2017, and maybe even 2018 seasons.

    Did nobody actually watch Goff's freshman year? How did he become the poster child for the play-em-early doogs?

    Fetters losing weight should be easy. Lower the calories to 4000 8100 a day and he should be able to lose weight.

    ...and the over/under is 500.

    It's not that Goff was great his true frosh year. But he was at least on par compared to the other options that Cal had available and while a young QB will experience growing pains and make a few turnovers that they shouldn't, there is no substitute for taking live reps and learning on the fly IF the player is capable of growing from the experience versus getting buried from the mistakes.

    He threw for 3500, had a 18-10 td-int ratio and completed 60%.

    He took that experience and his numbers bumped to 4k, 35-7, and 62% as a sophomore.

    He is the poster child, you're out of your depth here.
