But people on the board told me there was no way he'd get drafted. He was picked even earlier than Butt

Isn’t that what half the board did after Gary got drafted? Doesn’t seem like a lot to ask to Take a minute and celebrate for these guys before shitting all over them. It’s unequivocally a good thing when these guys get drafted and literally a dream come true and yet people feel the need to take immediate shots. Fans aren’t the only ones that read these boards and twitter. Players parents, recruits, recruits parents and other pay atttention to this shit and it’s such a terrible look to trot out these farewell FUs to plates in threads celebrating their success.

I'll keep you posted then:

A meager 58 downvotes as of 4:30 pm.

I don't think all that many ppl are interested in logging into this topic to either congratulate or shit on Gentry.

So you probably won't ever get those coveted 1K downvotes...?

Never a need to attack the poster.  Anyone can and will discard such senseless commentary (likely coming from a guy living in his mom's basement who has no distinguishing attributes).   

Outstanding for Gentry!  The dude came in as a marginal 4 star QB and re-shaped himself into a top 150 NFL draft pick, along with a UM degree, someone who will well represent our school.

Your team, doesn’t give one solitary fuck what you are glad for. Neither does Zach Gentry nor anyone on this board or the entirety of the internet. So save yourself some energy the next time you have a hawt take and use it for another trip to the fridge. What a dickwad.

See Antonio Brown, leveon Bell drama

former players making racism accusations against current QBs who just got an extension 

9-6-1 record no playoffs last year

the team is definitely trending down 

oh and they have a clown head coach that ran down a sideline and tripped an opposing player who was about to score a TD

You know there can be more than one dumpster fire. The Jets are making some good personnel decisions, the Lions on the other hand are still SOL. From Wayne, to Bobby, to Mooch, and now to Patricia, they are always swimming against the current fully clothed with rocks in their pockets.

Good for Zach.

Measures other than height aside, he supposedly had a decent NFL "grade" that guided his decision. I'd like to know the details of that.

Also, someone please alert the Albuquerque journalist who whined about his move from QB to TE.

They have to make the team. I think he will get a small signing bonus for coming to camp, and if he makes the team he will get a contract. From memory of watching the HBO show (Hard Knocks), they cut these guys pretty regularly. I believe there is a matrix online, but I think 1 - 4 get contracts, and 5 and down don't. He is in a good spot, they lost their starting TE in FA to the Lions.
