... try him out for another position.

...

NEVER !

To be fair, E.T., Matt himself said that he would move to Safety if it meant playing in the NFL.  Remember that JoPa himself offered Matt a full ride to Penn State as a DB.

The NFL don't like short QB's, LB's and WR's (under 6'0). White  running backs.

He also said he would be a long snapper.

He's a proven QB from Day One ...

And by the way, how tall is Colt McCoy ?

ET,

We all love Matt, but you are setting yourself up. Please don't compare him to Colt McCoy.

Reasons I wouldn't draft Matt

1. Sketchy decision making (see 44 ints in 42 games)

2. Average (at best) arm strength.

His height is a detriment, but it has nothing to do on why he won't get drafted.

McCoy is accurate (70% completion percentage), makes good decisions, and has a strong arm to make all the throws (especially the out pattern), and is a winner. Don't compare MG to this kid.

Height was the issue, how tall is McCoy ?

I say even McCoy isn't a real NFL QB talent. I doubt he or Grothe has tons of success in the NFL. However, the CFL is a different story.

But maybe Josh Mcdaniels gets a wild hair in the 6th or 7th round and picks up grothe

JaMarcus Russell is 6'6 with a huge arm. That's it. And he was drafted by the Raiders. THE FREAKIN RAIDERS! If Matt had a big arm, and was standing above 6'0. He would get drafted.

    We've talked about getting back to being the toughest, most violent people out there. Let's be the best version of ourselves and really get back to the culture of how we (USF) used to step across the line and play anybody. Let's hold on to the culture of when they were tough … and they (opponents) knew it was going to be long damn day for themselves.

    "There is no inherent fear among this group of players. The fear of failing drove the program from day one - the fear of failing the coaches, the fan base, the university, each teammate, themselves. Now, as we head into the biggest game in our history at home on a national stage against the highest ranked team to step on OUR field, the players are taking an introspective look at themselves. Unfortunately, I don't know if they get it. They lack the fear."
