ray233 Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 Very good article, i enjoyed reading it. However there is now one thing that worries me a little bit. Pelini's and Hickam's reference to Zac's cockiness, in my experience with cocky QB's they can get a little gun-ho and make mistakes. Big ones in big games. I hope for our sake, they exaggerate or Zac can keep his cockiness on and off the field. Then again, Eric Crouch was cocky. Unless a guy is winning games all by himself, I don't think Pelini and Watson would stand for the common results of genuine cockiness. Alienation of teammates, inconsistent leadership (that wanes the second he takes an ego hit), a me-first agenda, etc. You see it all of the time, cocky QB's don't like to check down. Cockiness in the pocket equals turnovers. Offensive turnovers equals for Pelini. So far, I see this coaching staff placing a premium on humility and hard work. Quote Link to comment
Scarlet Overkill Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 i will reserve my thoughts/comments until i see him perform in a few games. i like preseason hype as much as anyone else, but that really is all we are getting right now...good luck to Zac. However, please pass the just the same, and keep it coming. There is nothing sadder than an empty glass. Quote Link to comment
krc1995 Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 When I think cocky, I think Tommie Frazier and we all know how that story ends. Quote Link to comment

Dundermifflinite Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 When I think cocky, I think Tommie Frazier and we all know how that story ends. back-to-back national championships? or a series of dismal coaching stints, ending in massive player fallout at Doane? Quote Link to comment
