Being a Syracuse resident my whole life I have followed Paulus career since he was in 8th grade. I played basketball with his oldest brother, and worked with another one. While I rooted for Greg to do well at Duke, I just don't see how this is a good move for a Syracuse football program that admittedly is in rebuild mode. WHy bring in a quarterback with 1 year of eligibility that you have no idea how he will perform? Sure he was an outstanding high school quarterback, but that was 5 years ago. The only reason he received a try out with the Packers is because his father, a successful businessman, is friends with a high up in the Packers oraganization. They gave Greg a try out in a friendly gesture to him. In the work out he was clocked in the 40 yard dash at 5.2, and his throwing arm was graded as extremely weak. You just can't play for 5 years then step on the field and expect to excel at the high D1 level. It just isn't going to work, and i'm surprised Morrone has chosen to go this route. Sadly I am afraid part of the reason is to draw some interest in the program. THe Dome was lucky if it were half filled last season, so bringing in a local legend will bring attention to the program and possibly put some more fans in the seats. This is not what I wanted to see, for Greg, or the Syracuse football program
