Yeah, I thought the same thing about his absence back then. Rather odd. In his absence, I'm expecting big things from Josh McGowen this year. Not sure why, just a gut feeling that he is going to be a good one this Fall and for a long time.PurpleOut said:
This is just me speculating (probably shouldn't) but he always seemed distant from the team. I thought it was odd that he was basically out of town during the time he was out injured. Wish him the best, but there may be more to it. We've got some good RB depth at least.
