Rumors abound
Allegedly, Derek Steveson claiming that Chase Hansen will be a Cougar and Taysom is bolting for the NFL (I have no idea how he could be ready by combine, but heaven bless his rehab efforts).

As strong as my man crush is for Taysom, I hope this isn't true. And not for selfish reasons. He is not ready to be an effective NFL quarterback

Re: Rumors abound
career suicide for Taysom, assuming he has a career to salvage with this leg issue. He will be slighted for his injury related to ability to run and no one respects his ability to throw accurately. He's a 7th round Tebow

Re: Rumors abound
NFL scouts like his ability more than his "fans" do

Re: Rumors abound
I would be be very surprised if he bolted. I think the last injury decided for him. He has too much left to prove. You have to have an arm and at least decent accuracy to get drafted. I'm not buying until the tweet comes from the man himself.

Re: Rumors abound
My guess is that if he is even considering it now, he was certainly going to bolt before the injury occurred. But he goes from a Heisman candidate with at least some hype and question marks, but hype all the same--and a lot of it earned, but not all of it--to a not just a risk of a average to better than average (Andy Dalton, like) passer but now with serious re-injury risk not to mention speed and mobility limitations. And he can't wear an "ankle brace" with the same results as a knee brace. May get the the stability, but a much higher reduction in mobility for a rebuilt ankle.
Man, feel for that kid. He's a stud and smart and married great. He will be fine in the long run (pun intended) but it may be running a business/corporation not evading NFL leviathans.
