nothing but great things to say about Kyle - he is a great guy and his family seem top notch.

I do question the decision - Why would someone trade a valuable SMU degree for w worthless EWU degree just to do well in a league nobody cares about? Plus - if he stays, even if second string he is one play away from playing BCS football - lets face it - a high percentage of QB's that start the year dont finish due to injury. And its not like he is going pro - so might be better off worrying about his future instead of playing intramural football - but some people take longer to figure that out - and i guess its a fun sport. Hope that is worth some serious coin throughout his 50 yr career at whatever he decides to do after next year.

Good luck to KP. Hope je does well and expect he will. I would pull for them as my second team , but for the Ted turf.

I agree. I really doubt he's going pro. If he had that ability, he would have demonstrated it more consistently here. So, his tradeoff he gets to play a few years on college football and comes out with a degree of limited value.

We keep saying that. Said the same thing about NFL starter Josh McCown. Kyle Padron has the ability -- you'll see.

Every transferring QB since the turn of the Century has outperformed our QBs once they leave. Experienced, upperclass QBs improve-something SMU fans dismiss. Don't forget Bartel and Chris Sanders too. SMU fans just want to see the next great Freshman phenom and that's a losing strategy in the long run. Maybe its our turn to benefit from an upperclassman transfer QB-although I guess McDerrmott fits that category too.

Padron seemed like a nice kid and I wanted him to succeed here, but he is too slow and lacks accuracy and arm strength to be an NFL quarterback.

i didn't say he wouldnt do well - in fact i think he will do great - he might even improve as you suggest. I'm saying it won't matter - he will be at a basic junior college - chris sanders would have been better off getting an SMU degree for example - it means something later, as opposed to being qb at northeastern southern state tech college

Wow.

What a freaking travesty.

Good luck Kyle.
