Optimism or Lunacy??

Where your from IMO has nothing to do with it. Natural ability, desire to win and improve and coaching are the main factors. Hr did dominate in the all-American game.

Nobody truly knows, but your reasoning for discounting him is just plain senseless.

I'd say the only lunacy here is this thread. Perhaps the stupidest one I've ever seen on this board, bar none.

Nope, Kansas doesn't produce much in the way of football players.

Lynn Dickey, (born 1949), football player, Osawatomie, Kansas.
Galen Fiss, (1931-2006), football player, Johnson City, Kansas.

I cannot believe the stupidness of this post. I guess Dan Marino wasn't any good cause he is from Pitt, or Bret Favre or Walter Payton were not good cause they are from Mississippi, I could go on and on......

A lot of QBs come from Pennsylvania

Its not where you are from but who you are. The next great RB could be from Washington, Utah, Kansas, W. Va, and not necessarily from Texas, Louisiana, Florida, or Cali. When following BB's recruiting I saw his videos, read the write ups etc. He is the real deal and will be shocked if he ended up being anything less then. Absolutely don't mind admitting I was disappointed when it became clear that Bryce was all Vols and my Tigers would lose out. He will do you all proud.

Do you mean Kevin Dyson? Are you talking about the last play in the Super Bowl or something else?

Yeh my memory sucks , but that's what I was referring to.

Gayle Sayers was from Kansas and, from what I recall, he was sort of decent.

Exactly what I was gonna rebut with. +1

Everyone is going to have their own opinions, but if Bryce turns out to be great, volman38 should have to do a TO THE BOARD thread.

I would say that any state that could give us Barry Sanders, Gale Sayers, and John Riggins seems to do pretty well producing running backs.
