Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

Jood puts down the X-Box long enough to interview Keith Price.

I hope this kid lands somewhere. He's no Karl Bonnell, but he deserves a shot.

What do you feel like you have to prove to the NFL types?

“Just arm strength. A lot of people look at my arm and don’t think I can rip the ball, but I think I have a pretty solid arm. I think I’m accurate, and I think I can make a lot of the big-time throws the guys in the NFL are making right now. I’m very confident.”

What do you think scouts want to see from you?

“I just think they want to see me throw live, and then they can make their assessments from there. Which is no problem. I’m anxious for it. It’s like getting ready for a game. I haven’t had those butterflies in a while, so I love this feeling, man.”

Have you had a chance to reach out to Russell Wilson lately as you’ve gone through this process?

“I actually haven’t talked to him since the night before the Super Bowl. He’s been pretty busy since then. But he told me, ‘If I can do it, you can do it.’ And that’s all you need to say. All I need is an opportunity — I’ve been saying it for a while — all I need is a foot in the door and I’ll take care of the rest.”

    Russell Wilson's silence at a time like this speaks volumes.

    That said, I'm rooting or Keith. IMO the biggest thing for him is getting his knees healthy. I'm not sure that's even a realistic possibility at this poont, but if there was ever a guy who could stand to go a year without getting hit it, it's KP. A mobile Price would have a real shot, I think. The Price who can barely move around in the pocket has no prayer of getting a gig at the next level, let alone surviving there.

    Hopefully he can get the medical help he needs.

    This. Price would be an NFL QB if he didn't move like his legs were held together by chunks of broken rubber bands tied together with granny knots. Nobody would be talking about his arm which is solid.

    That's a completely different (and much more valid) issue.

    Manning and Brady are big, prototypical QBs with uncommonly good pocket presence. That's one way of looking at it. Another way is that they both thrive in offenses that are tailored to keep heat off of them. Both of them suck when that design fails.

    Invalid comparison.
