I remember seeing Cedric Benson so like a baby saying he was going to prove the world wrong, and ESPN kept going back to AR in that green room.I don't blame him for that chip on his shoulder. I'm happy we drafted him.People forget why he fell. That video tells a lot of the story, the cap and whatnot. People may not recall the Jeff Tedford angle.Tedford (AR coach at Cal) had spun out a lot if high profile QB flops over the years. With AR coming from Butte college before Cal, and that horrible throwing stance, many assumed another Tedford system qb. It scared a lot off him.I still recall seeing that high release even in green and gold. If nothing else, the MM/AR relationship wound up molding who he is as a QB today. Not entirely, but to an extent.Let's leave it on that, a good note. That video was a nice blast from the past. Thank you!</blockquote>
