Darron Thomas to the NFL – what is he thinking?! And what do people feel about it outside of Duck Nation? So far I’ve only heard one or two positive responses. I don’t think he’s NFL ready, but the buzz is that maybe he was never going to be NFL ready, so the going is as good now as it will ever be. Truth? And Bryan Bennett…you’re up!

Wow…that is surprising! Steve will have to add him to his big board.
Guess he went out on a great note with Rose Bowl win!
How do you feel about Bryan Bennett?
I feel good about him – great even. I think he has the potential to be one of our great QBs. The question is whether he’s ready right now. Even without LaMike, we have the best running backs we’ll see for a LONG time right now (De’Anthony Thomas is insane) and every other position is solid. If Bennett can step up, we will be amazing. The pressure is on, but at the same time, the expectations will be lower so he can surprise. By the way, a week ago Duck Nation was upset that we have such an easy non-conference schedule. That easy start is looking pretty good now…great way to condition Bennett.
While i think the move was surprising for Thomas, and I don’t see him taken before the 6th round, I guess he felt that Bennett might start taking playing time. I really like Bennett and think they won’t miss much this season.
