Now boarding the Tony Pike Bandwagon...

[Zod]

The more I read up on this kid the more I like him. Has a real soft touch on the ball when he needs to drop it in a tight spot. I have read a few sites mentioning his "Brett Favre" like toughness, playing through pain and injury. Won the Johnny Unitas award and has show blue collar work ethic.

Seems like more of a leader than Jimmy Jam and has had to scrap for every bit of attention he has gotten while leading Cinci to an undefeated season.

All Aboard!

[God]

Nay!

[Zod]

Board now or board later. Makes no difference to me.

I hear Pike is a big on tube socks too!

He and Zod are a match made in heaven!

[Jangler]

Since I'm a Notre Dame fan I saw all of Clausen's games...The couple of Cincinnati games I saw, I liked what I saw of Pike. More than Clausen.

He has allot of potential, just needs to put some weight on or he's gonna get snapped in half.

[Cyberjag]

The question is, can he be as worthy of your obsession with backup QBs as Chris Weinke was?

He's 6'6" and 235 pounds. That's pretty big. Besides, he won't have to worry about getting snapped in half while he's holding a clipboard.

Nay, take off about 10 pounds and you got him.

Well, one thing is for certain, any of our three guys could step in and perform better than Jake did last season.

Peyton Manning was 230 coming out of Tenn.

OMG

TONY PIKE IS PEYTON MANNING!!!

[Jangler]

But can he lick an Oreo?

[Cyberjag]

Well, he's certainly got the looks to hold a clipboard, which is a point in his favor. Have you noticed how the Observer runs his picture any time they can, instead of Clausen's?

But we're the Panthers, and we play our goofy looking guys while the dreamboats ride the pine. Sorry bud...

I like Pike.

But in the combine he didn't look that great...slow and clodgy. Did I mention slow? But I think he'll be a decent NFL QB. A Flacco type...just a LOT slower...and looks a bit less durable.
