He has a crazy talent for being a quarterback. I think with the spread moving towards football, someone will take a shot on him. Heck i think he might be perfect for Philadelphia. Michael Vick is getting old, they have the kid from WV, but i think Johnny is better than him. That kid ripped up on a pathetic Big East division. Johnny ripped up on Alabama.

I'm going to veer off topic here, but I'm still not sold on the guy as an elite QB, or one that would translate well into the NFL. He doesn't have a great arm, and his head isn't right. Unless he humbles up a ton, I wouldn't take a chance on him. But since I'm an SEC guy take that as you will.

A) There is absolutely no way you can tell if he has a "shit load of clubhead speed". Taking an ungodly whack that's semi-out-of-control doesn't necessarily mean high clubhead speed.

B) If your definitely of "great balance" is being able to swing out of your shoes and not bust your ass, then yes, great balance.

I was under the impression that there's zero doubt as to whether he signed them, only whether or not there was an exchange of cash. If he did take cash for autographs, he may be the single stupidest person on the face of the earth. And that'll be yet another reason why I would never draft him.

As for the 79, I don't have my doubts. I just wonder what he shot on the back nine.

Elite NFL QB, I have my doubts as well. Has anyone seen him in person? He looks smaller than his stated height and weight. Wiki says he's 6'1 200. Not huge but I am 6'1.5 210 and I feel like Gulliver walking amongst the gen pop. He looks small in the clips I've seen. One of my customers is a former NFL linebacker, still in good shape, and he's not that much bigger than I am.

I don't have concerns about his height.  My concerns about his QB ability have to do with his inability to set his feet properly and deliver a ball with minimal upper body action.  He has poor mechanics, and will never be coached properly in college because his running ability is too big of an asset right now and he will be encouraged to use it to the detriment of his own progress.

Yes, let me reword my post.  I really hope he didn't take cash for the autographs.  There is video and everything of him signing.  But the big question of course being was he paid for the services.

To which I am inclined to wonder "who would go to a hotel room and sign 300+ autographs for free?

There is a way. There's the video I posted where there are 2 swings, face on-where his clubhead is very fast, as if an elite athlete with years of playing the game was swinging.

Again, how do you know what his clubhead speed was?

Sorry, but there was only one swing face on, not two. And the one face-on was with a driver.

If autograph signing was an Olympic sport, he would dominate.

His driver clubhead speed is 112MPH.  Smash factor was 1.47.  All verified by Gain Oriented Ophthalmological Goniolens Laser Estimation.

Bullshit, there's no way his smash factor was under 1.7.

      SuperSpeed Sues Stack System for Supposedly Syndicating Successes & Statistics

      By klineka ·

      Why should SuperSpeed get 3x of Stack's profits? I get the part about SuperSpeed wanting damages sustained as a result of Stack, but I don't get why SuperSpeed feels that they're entitled to both Stack's profits and damages.   Does anyone know/think SuperSpeed actually has a case here?

Stack System’s marketing materials inflate apparent swing speed and distance gains through selective presentment of data without qualification that purported gains are not the result, in whole or part, of its training protocol and products. * Yes, I'm joking about abbreviating both "SS." SuperSpeed wants: A judgment that the Stack System has disseminated false and/or misleading information in violation of federal and Illinois law. The deletion of all false advertising distributed and recall of all packaging containing false advertising and a requirement that Stack System issue notices (written or otherwise) to that effect to all current distributors and retailers of its products and all distributors with whom Stack System has done business in the past eighteen months. Written confirmation within 30 days of an injunction detailing the manner and form in which Stack System has complied. An order that Stack System disseminate corrective advertising informing consumers, the trade, and the public of Stack System’s unlawful conduct. 3X all profits received by Stack System as a result of its unlawful actions. 3X all damages sustained by SuperSpeed (as a result of Stack System’s actions) The cost of the action All reasonable attorney fees All other relief to which SuperSpeed are entitled and such other or additional relief as just and proper. Oy.

      Jack vs. Tiger: Who's the Greatest Golfer?

      By iacas ·

      I'm not doing this for the hundred and twentieth time. Sorry in advance, but you get the massively abridged version. Those guys also benefited from the weaker/shallower fields. Also, Watson's career doesn't overlap with Jack's like many think it did. Tom is nearly a decade younger. Jack won only like four majors only after Tom won his first. And Tom won more British Opens than he did all three of the other majors combined, as it was his specialty (not Jack's). Arnie's career similarly doesn't overlap Jack's as much as many think.   Jack would also tell you Tiger was the better golfer.

      Jack vs. Tiger: Who's the Greatest Golfer?

      By Dr. Manhattan ·

      Weaker depth of fields for sure. Some of the top level guys with Jack were pretty awesome. Tom Watson had the lead on the 72nd hole of the 2009 British Open, an event where Tiger missed the cut. Old Tom was almost 60 years old. Jack himself at age 58 finished Top 10 at The 1998 Masters and scored better than Tiger, who won The Masters by 12 shots just a year before that.   The success of both Tom & Jack in older age gives some hope that maybe Tiger can find the magic again at some point. He’s still trying to figure out how to build the stamina for 72 holes after the leg injury. I would love to see him jump on the leaderboard in the coming years. I know a lot of people have given up on him at this point, but that was also true from 2014 to 2017 with the back injuries. He had a hell of a resurgence in 2018 & 2019. Would be fun to see it again.
