i said this in the game chat, though the chat disagreed w me. if he goes 21 TDs/ 0 interceptions or something, and gets a senior bowl (or similar event) invite and impresses, I dont' see it as impossible that someone takes a chance on him in the 7th round.

a lot of the "right" things would have to happen, for the recipe to be there, which is what makes it unlikely.
But not impossible.

Hopeful!

Him being in his 7th year and his age hurt his chances.
 
from the bc interruption chat

"If the ACC were smart, they would dump Boston College and add UConn. UConn is much more serious about athletics than is BC. If UConn were in the ACC and BC were not, UConn would be a competitive ACC team within a couple of years, and their basketball program is obviously light years ahead of that of Boston College. Their women’s basketball program is nationally recognized, and even their baseball program is better than BC’s. BC is not serious about any sport other than probably hockey - and even in hockey, UConn is now competitive with them. Also, UConn is a state flagship University, and as such is much better positioned to be more of a player in FBS then is a relatively small private Catholic school like Boston College."

Veteran backup QBs are not cheap. Joe has shown he's a pretty good game manager, can make most of the throws, doesn't turn it over, isn't fragile, and now that he's using his legs, there's a bit of added value. It's not hard to envision him in either 7th round or signed as an undrafted FA.

Yes, and forget the throwing, which is stellar. He’s making big, important plays with his feet. That’s just huge. If he had the confidence to run earlier in the season, we beat Cuse and Delaware. He’s so much better now. His running just keeps getting better too. More decisive, more assertive and more opportunistic. Just a huge improvement in mindset.

agree fully, i see this ^ as his ceiling. and you know what, that's ok. we need more UConn skill position players in the league, in any capacity.
 
God this feels good. I feel like I'm getting the high I was robbed of after the Syracuse game, lol.

Can always nitpick and focus on the negatives. No need to do that here, we discussed those enough in the game chat and I'm sure the coaching staff will keep working to get things corrected.

Just a great win for the boys. Joe F has been looking like an absolute stud the past 2 weeks. Cam is a monster with the heart of a lion, I have so much respect for anyone who plays as hard as he did while banged up today. But what's crazy to me, is I've come to expect this type of play from him regardless of how healthy he is. He plays with so much heart, and you can tell he really cares about repping the state. Bell just makes big play after big play, and you can tell also really cares about the program/university. Again, we are incredibly lucky to have all 3 of them here. I will miss them all once they graduate.

We FINALLY got that ACC road win! Let's keep it rolling, winning one game at a time. Then do the same thing to Duke!

It's great to have a good QB it makes a huge difference. I'm glad Joe F. came back and I love him using his running ability when needed. He looks more mobile and fluid when rolling out than past years. So happy for Bell and Edwards for sticking it out here as they are so critical to what we run on offense.

Almost bowl eligible. Take care of business on the road, then we can set ourselves up for a very special season.

I just wish we beat Delaware and Syracuse...now what game is listed as a loss now on our schedule?

Jim Mora has been in the NFL and knows a lot of people in NFL circles. I'm pretty sure I heard him mention over the off-season that Joe was an NFL caliber QB, or something to that effect. So I'm sure he's been planting the seed in the mind of anyone in the NFL that will listen.

I agree, if he keeps putting up these numbers he will get looks. Even if he doesn't get drafted, I think he has a chance to get a camp invite and stick around. As I said in the game chat I'm not sure he has NFL arm strength, but I think he could still be a really good backup in the league. He makes good reads and is accurate enough that with enough reps I think he could help a team win games if their starter goes down.
