Suprisingly a good article from Ron. I am excited to see Freddie play again tomorrow.

You know, this part aside:

"Why not? Randle El, a quarterback at Indiana, is the only Division I player to pass for more than 6,000 yards and run for more than 3,000. And he also is the only one to throw for more than 40 touchdowns and rush for more than 40 "

My math has J5 at 43 rushing, 55 passing for his career.

Alright, the mistake aside.

Maybe I should have qualified my "good" or said "Wow, at least its not the usual complete crap that spews out of Ron's Orifii."

I'm assuming he got his information here:

http://www.nfl.com/draft/2002/profiles/ ... ntwaan.htm

he is the only player in NCAA Division I-A history to reach 6,000 yards passing and 3,000 yards rushing and also the only player to pass for 40 touchdowns and score 40 touchdowns …

His Redskins bio says that as well. As someone who writes bios of this type I would have put this qualifier "was the first" rather than "the only" that way I can be lazy and now have to go back and change the stats each season.

I've tried to get into that writing for BGSUsports.com. "...was a school record at the time of his/her graduation." Some items have still slipped through the cracks, I'm sure.

Thats cool how they compared him Randel El, but he actually idolizes Michael Vick.. thought I'd throw that out there!

well either guy had some pretty nice number in college. If Freddie can pick up his passing a bit, he certainly could have a nice career while he's wearing the Brown and Orange!

If Freddie learns to pass and master the offense, he willl be an amazing player and will put a major hurt on our mac opponents.

go falcons

"Ironically, Barnes was born in the Chicago suburb of Harvey, Ill., which is the same town where Randle El and his brother, Marcus, a receiver at Wisconsin, attended high school."

There is absoultely nothing at all ironic about where Barnes was born. "It's like rai---yeee-----ain....on your wedding day."

Beat Kent!

I hope he will not have a problem playing RB.
