[QUOTE="Thirteen Below, post: 1060760, member: 18006"] Living in the heart of the bluegrass, I see a lot of UK and Louisville football. We live about 100 miles from Louisville, but until recently owned a rental property up there, and I had to make frequent trips for maintenance, etc. I always try to time it so I can catch a game. Shough is impressive to watch. He's got a lot of tools, and every time he drops back to pass, you can feel the excitement in the crowd. That's an intangible quality that doesn't happen with every college quarterback. The problem is, he's old. He'll be 26 at the start of the 25 season; less than a year younger than Love.. A lot of his success is attributable to his age, but the other side of that coin is - how much better is he capable of getting? He's a lot better than most college QBs, but probably already a lot closer to his ceiling than a 22-year old would be. So that has to be considered. But if we're just looking at him as a backup for a few years, rather than someone we're going to develop into a future franchise quarterback, that may not be an issue. If he's just a guy who can step in and keep us competitive for a few weeks mid-season, he may be very well-suited for that. There's a really good chance he will slide, too, because of his age and his injury history. A lot of teams may like what they see, but be reluctant to commit to several years of development on a 26-yeard old QB who's missed almost half his college career with injuries. Teams looking for a future franchise QB are going to be cautious about him. But the good news is, all his injuries have been broken bones, not soft-tissue injuries like hamstring, knee, etc. It's 2 broken collarbones and a broken leg, which can happen to anyone anytime. Mostly just bad luck. There's a lot to him that may suit the Packers quite nicely, if he should slide. [/QUOTE]
