Greg Paulus To Syracuse?!?!?!

OH MY GOD. THAT IS AMAZING. Wait. Never mind.

Word out of ESPN is that he is 95 % going to Syracuse. I hesitate because how the heck is he 95 % sure of where he is going? Who out there is looking for a scoop and hedging their bets (Psssst, Joe Schad, stand up).

But seriously, this move wouldn't be bad at all for Syracuse. Paulus was the Gatorade National Player of the Year when he was at Christian Brothers Academy (Yep, in Syracuse) and he could be helpful to newly anointed starter (Redshirt Frosh Ryan Nassib). But, Cuse fans need to keep their expectations low, as Paulus hasn't played QB in 4 years. He would also be stepping into a situation where he has skill-position talent (Delone Carter and Antwon Bailey (The ND killer as he is more commonly referred to...) at RB and the return of the great Mike Williams to lead an underrated WR unit) to utilize, but the o-line isn't yet a D-1 caliber line. This line struggles to pass protect (ask poor Andrew Robinson) and while I like where the offense is at this stage (a lot of quick passes and screens to not have them protect long), Paulus will need to be in midseason form at the beginning of fall practice to compete for the job. Worst case, Paulus comes to Cuse and can't unseat starter Nassib. Best case, Paulus starts and leads us to a bowl game.

Here's hoping he does it and leads us to a bowl game.
