Around SBN: Kobe Bryant Isn't Up To Speed On Jeremy Lin, 'Linning'

Juice is willing to change positions. Finally.

So it seems that Juice has finally realized what we've known for weeks (if not months) now: he will never make it in the NFL as a quarterback. It seems he had a rough first day at the Bears' rookie mini-camp (http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/football/bears/ct-spt-0501-bits-bears-chicago--20100430,0,4188324.story), and may have changed his tune on playing QB in the NFL:

"Quarterback has always been my desire growing up, but if a position change comes around that's best for the team, I'm all for it,'' he said. "I'd play anything … receiver, running back, anything.''

I think he has potential as a 3rd-down option type QB, where he can use his speed and size to his advantage. The article mentions that he has a strong enough arm for the NFL, but I don't think any QB coach could get him to throw accurately (Maybe I just have had too many bad memories of him overthrowing Benn and Uh-Oh). But it's not like the Bears have a great deal of depth at QB. I would give Juice a shot at one of the backup positions over Caleb Hanie. If nothing else, he could probably be a solid special teams performer.

Juice would be awesome as a special teams gunner.

Think about a guy with that size and speed, coming at you at full velocity. This was one of the only things I was ever good at when I played football in high school (that, and form-tackling), but I was undersized and slow. Juice is neither.

St. Louis Game Time . . . I need another beer.
