Brett getting drafted has ZERO to do with "Wyoming isn't respected" argument. Sound like the Utah media is getting to you with that statement. All the NFL draft rankings have Smith ranked pretty high next year. There is also the draft combined that allows scouts to judge players based on their own eyes.djm19 said:No matter how much he "has to prove" to Oregon, it doesnt matter. If, for some reason, he is projected to be drafted at all and have a sign on bonus and start making some ca$h, that will trump a "win over Oregon" 100 times out of 100.
He is one scramble away from being the next Chuckie Keeton. Why do you risk that? You can't. If he is projected to get drafted I wish him well and will follow him closely.
That being said, I dont think he is NFL caliber....yet. As of today, he isnt going anywhere. Wyoming isnt a respected enough program yet to get a lot of media hype that comes with it. I think Fresno is decent, but the marketing machine and hype-coaster surounding Carr is almost tiring. Media is pumping his rectum so full of air that he can't come down. Although I respect and like Chuckie Keeton, I felt the same about him. The media honkies loved him.
Just last week, the local Utah media dip$hit radio people said, "You have Carr, Keeton, Fales...and no one else in the MWC." Someone called and said, "What about Wyo QB?" The hosts laughed and said, "Real cute. A Wyoming QB doing well. Stats don't mean crap when you play at Wyoming. No one can take you serious." The guy wo said it is a Virgina Tech grad who moved out here. The narrow-mindedness is almost embarrasing.

Next season he gets basically his entire offense back less Herron and Strong. He gets a shot at the school that snubbed him ( Oregon ). Him a Chuckie Keeton will be the only high profile Qbs returning in the MWC and the publicity hes getting now will be ten fold what it is now. His draft stock will be even higher I believe.

Fajardo has really good skills, but he's like a china doll, incredibly fragile. A back injury last year, aknee injury this year...MrTitleist said:mwc fan said:Dont think Brett will leave.

Still wearing a knee immobilizer/brace (can be adjusted, have had a similar thing myself) during games and has no designed QB runs so far, including the read option.MrTitleist said:fromolwyoming said:Fajardo has really good skills, but he's like a china doll, incredibly fragile.

Fajardo isn't fragile.. he came back from his knee problem pretty quickly.
