Carrier went undrafted but has signed a free agent deal with the Raiders.

Tanney in SI.com story from 4 May.

It's the off season and a slow news day if a DIII QB gets mentioned in SI. Do I hope that Monmouths Tanney makes the Bills roster ?? Absolutely. Do I think it will happen ?? Well, the AFC East is the MWC (top heavy) of the NFL so you never know. 13.8% chance by RoopVegas odds.

Having seen him play, prior to injury, his mobility was an issue even then. After injury it didn't improve. He's a holder for P.A.T.s at the NFL level. No disrespect intended but this is a different game now. He also needs to "look off" primary receivers.

As for Beloit College's Derek Carrier, I think he has a better chance. The numbers are in his favor. Teams need more wide receivers than they do QBs. Still, he's a project. Alligator arms and running out of bounds in his senior season kept him from being drafted but the physical skills for the next level are there.

I guess we will see come September.

I'm relocating to the Beloit area by months end scottie, so I will no doubt run into the ol Gunny.

fulbakdad · May 16, 2012, 08:28:22 PM

How would you run into me in the Beloit area? It's far enough for me to go to Chicago!

LOL

Just passing the off season by. Trying to get a chuckle.

The Roop · May 23, 2012, 04:01:08 PM

Lake Forest will play in Beloit soon enough, that's when I'll run into you.

With that being said, my move is Sunday and am not sure when I will have internet again. So until next time. This is The Roop, signing off.

What is the word for Beloit this year?

Really disappointed with the new HC...
No alumni reach-out
No real ID for this program moving forward
Rumors that he is shopping himself out for his next move

Maybe I am wrong but it seems that the college needs to take a long look at this situation...maybe should reach out to Denny D. (fr. OC for BC at the end of the Eddy D. era)

Something has to change....

If Tanney's pro experience mirrors his college experience, he will have a great career but he will never beat my favorite team. (In the case of the pros this is the Denver Broncos.)

It's very simple...Tanney never beat your favorite team because he never played a game against the Central Dutch during his college career.
