Not bashing Couch but it won't take much to surpass him as a pro. That's a fact.
@BernieSadori you and Jon Rothstein must have the same travel agent. He is posting pics in the same locations you are.

Yes he was sacked 56 times his rookie year, and 51 times his third year. Sacked over 200 times in his first 5 seasons, and that’s obviously not including hits, late hits or tackles when he actually made the line of scrimmage while running for his life.
I’ve often wondered what happens if Cleveland is convinced McNabb is #1 and Couch goes to Philly.

Tim Couch dropping 7 TDs on Louisville was next level excitement.
Couch played for historically awful NFL teams. Totally unfair to judge him based solely on NFL stats.
Another one on board tomorrow. Cal building a great team for the following season.
What’s amazing/sad is I can literally remember where I was reading Greg Hoover post that (was in Tucson) and I’m pretty sure Willie Kemp, Thadeous Young, and Brandon Wright were 3 of those letters.
Compare that to yesterday where I screamed and got really upset at my 3 year old son after I had said his name at least 5 times without him responding when my wife informed me I was calling him by the dogs name.

Been there! Andrew, Andrew, Andrew….,,.ANDREW!!!!!!!

That can't be overstated enough. When the Browns returned to the league in '99 they opened the season on Sunday Night Football and lost to the Steelers 43-0. They had 2 first downs and 40 total yards that entire game. The next week in his first start Couch was sacked 7 times. No QB was going to succeed in that ********.
I was always partial to George Blanda in a relief role, as Parilli was before my day.
I think Couch may have had a decent career if he landed w/a team that wasn't an expansion franchise --
Also - I THINK Couch was the Browns QB when they blew a lead against Pittsburgh at home - right?
Tommy Maddox was the Steelers QB
Kelly Holcomb was at that point. Couch had gotten hurt I believe.
So - I was the MOST surprise at these football Wildcats not doing as well as I'd expected in the NFL:
George Adams - Tough and big RB for Claiborne drafted to Giants & disappeared (looked slow in the game i remember)
Andre Woodson - Loved his game at UK ..seemed like he had the size and nice touch on the ball
Jared Lorenzen - Call me crazy. i dont care -- that man had heart & was a damn HOSS ...thought he would hold down a 2nd string spot somewhere
Rafael Little - dude would GLIDE as he ran / seemed like a good 3rd down back for someone...Titans had him for a while

I thought for sure Woodson would make it. Didn’t even get through 1 training camp.
Trevard Lindley surprised me. He was such a stud. Guessing he was too slow, but he held up pretty damn well in the SEC.
I loved George Adams as a kid. He was the first great player at UK I recall watching growing up.
Adams had a decent rookie season, but suffered a horrendous hip injury prior to his 2nd season with the Giants in 1986 which ended up being the season they won the Super Bowl. It was apparently similar to the injury that ruined Bo Jackson.
He hung around the NFL for a few more seasons, but was never able to get a lot of playing time. Apparently, George Adams' left leg is three inches shorter than his right and he has to walk with the use of a cane.
Also, his son is the stud strong safety Jamal Adams with the Seahawks.
Saw Couch as a high school freshman because his team was in my high school’s district. We had heard a little about him, but it was pre-internet so there was basically no info out there on him. He put on an absolute show — it was 1992 so no one was throwing the ball that much back then. It was like an alien came to town.
His windup was way too slow by NFL standards unfortunately.
- Was living in NE Ohio during the Browns' return in '99, and of course I was on the Couch hype train, being a Kentucky fan. Most of the sentiment towards Couch while I lived up there was that the poor guy just never had a chance. They seem to really appreciate the guy now, having essentially had his career blown up by playing behind a swiss cheese line the entire time. He's still held in relatively high regard.
- Castle last night for anniversary dinner. About what I expected...beautiful atmosphere, hit-or-miss food, not quite worth what we paid for it, but still an experience I'm glad we had. Sometimes I forget that it's an actual hotel as well, so it was a bit starting to see an overweight guy with a mullet in a tank-top and flops heading to the pool with a towel draped over his shoulder.
- Oldest is on the shelf with a stress fracture (poor kid can't catch a break...has had some kind of physical issue every single year of HS cross-country) and can't run this week, so she snagged a scholarship interview at William & Mary in a few days. Jealous I can't tag along, Williamsburg sounds like a cool trip, and apparently W/M is a beautiful campus.
- Nice to see Wetzel, Dauster, and other national media laud Cal for his Eastern Kentucky relief efforts. If there's one thing the guy REALLY gets about the job, it's that he is an ambassador for the entire state. That open practice and telethon is a a great idea.
- I always know election season is approaching when I get a Facebook friend request from someone I've never met or spoken to, but just HAPPENS to be running for public office.

He and Lorenzen were the largest people I had ever seen as a freshman at UK. Dude was unreal and probably the better athlete of the two.
Joe Casey and it isn’t close!
Also, I know GYERO talks about being fans of ALL the golfers, but Tony Finau is one of my absolute favorites, so it's good to see him go back-to-back. Probably not a nicer guy in all of golf.
2003-2007. Can’t imagine how different I’m sure it is. Always planned on moving back there and working but my wife wanted central Ohio so good times!
He was committed to Ky.
Only found one article as recent as 2012 stating it while mainly being about he and Adrian Peterson being on the same all star team.
Joe Casey can take a seat behind these Paducah Tilghman what ifs:
Dee Smith - was being used like Deebo Samuel is now. As a sophomore he had 45 touches and 8 touchdowns. Then he decided to sell cocaine in Cincinnati and got busted. Think he ended up at UL.
Emerson Wells - granted I’m biased because we played basketball together growing up but he had the physical tools to be a dominant linebacker.

There was a terrible comedian back in the day at Laugh Track Live, and his bit was to show the audience cue cards/words, then use them incorrectly and irreverently in a sentence. This one always stuck with me:
word: EMERSON
sentence: “EMERSON big ole titties.”
Genius. Wonder where that guy ended up. His own show in Vegas, maybe?
