QBs taken in the 4th-7th round, 2012: Kirk Cousins, Ryan Lindley, BJ Coleman, Chandler Harnish

Stephen McGee
QBs taken in the 4th-7th round, 2008: John David Booty, Dennis Dixon, Josh Johnson, Erik Ainge, Colt Brennan, Andre' Woodson, Matt Flynn, Alex Brink

Wilson and Brady are the exceptions, but not for the reason you mentioned- most QBs taken after the first two rounds amount to very little. When you take a QB after the first round you're basically buying a lottery ticket.

I miss Russ's nihilism, but that's just me, and I guess there's a lot more time for someone to do the same sort of stuff. Tonally, the show is still pretty similar, just lacks that cerebral horror that I thought Russ brought so well.

The crime is less exciting too - Naked woman ritual cult/pagan sacrifices > corrupt LA real estate deals. I mean, it's not even really a contest, but I guess the burning of the guy's eyes with acid was pretty hardcore. Jury's still out, I guess, but I'm definitely not as immediately grabbed as I was initially by the first corpse. We'll see where it goes. Probably didn't help that the corpse doesn't really appear until the last 2 min of the episode.

I also really liked the story telling last season, where it was the flash-backs via the interviews. Lets you really see the before/after of the two guys, and wonder how Russ is going to go from clean-cut sorta weird guy to trashy full-blown alcoholic. I was more than a little bummed that this one is going to be more of a conventional story structure.

So I guess my early impressions - not quite as good as last season, but plenty of time to change that.

I thought the new episode was really good. We should start a new thread for season 2.

i'll speak up a little more being a recent NCAA athlete and graduate.. A school/coach cannot take your scholly away based on play/commitment there has to be some sort of performance issue in classroom or an off field issue. My initial guess is something is coming down the pike but don't want to announce it until all facts have been laid out..

Its a legit news story. Mr. Grisham has some, umm, err, interesting views on child porn and those who watch it.

You would think they'd pay for his last semester unless he did something worthy of kicking him out of school.

Not letting him play is one thing, but kicking him out of school (by not funding his scholarship) should require some due dilligence.

Who knows, maybe they had something really negative on him. It may be that they're letting him off easy.
