Mizzou Football Links

SI.com: 2011 NFL Mock Draft (get used to seeing a certain someone's name on these lists...)

9. Buffalo Bills
Blaine Gabbert, QB, Missouri

The knock on Gabbert will be the Missouri system that helped Chase Daniel put up huge numbers. But because of his size (6-foot-5, 240 pounds), Gabbert is a different kind of prospect than Daniel and teams will believe more in the stats.

Early-morning overemotional reaction

Sports Illustrated can suck it.

Elke ware zoon, zo blij van harte / Hemels boven ons zijn blauw / Er is een geest zo diep binnen ons / Oud Missouri dit is voor jou / Waneer de band het Tijger oorlogslied speelt / En wanneer de strijd over is / We zullen stampen, stampen, stampen, rond de kolommen / Met een kreet voor oud Mizzou!

at some point I think Chase is going to forget about criticisms

/Chase points at his super bowl ring

…but I see your point.

But seriously...

What is the “knock” against Mizzou’s system? How are they more of a “system” than Oklahoma or Florida? I understand that some qb’s excel in college but can’t make the transition to the pros, and I understand that Mizzou’s spread system doesn’t necessarily translate to a pro system, but there seems to be almost a contemptuous sneering when Mizzou is mentioned. I remember a couple of years ago when Greg Easterbrook went on a season-long tear against Mizzou for being a factory school who only played patsies to pad their schedule (despite the fact that Mizzou opened the season against a Rose Bowl team and had a three-game stretch against Nub, Oklahoma State and Texas). While it was kind of amusing to hear Mizzou referred to as a factory school, I could never figure out where the blind hatred came from.

Easterbrook's bigger problem with Missouri...

… wasn’t the quality of competition, it was that Mizzou had 8 home games.

He didn’t bother to do enough research to realize that two of those “home” games were at neutral sites.

I was very glad I already thought Easterbrook was worthless before reading that...

…because I DEFINITELY thought he was worthless afterward. Five seconds of research would have led him to actual facts, but he stopped at two seconds.

There are worse things...

… than having a QB good enough to be considered a Top 10 pick as an underclassman.

Having Cody Hawkins as your QB, for instance.

. . . and Aldon Smith?

With another year like last year – and there is no indication he cannot put up equal to or better stats this year – we may well see two Tiger underclassmen projected for the first round by season’s end next year.
