Here's a highlight video of him from his Junior year.

Cool. Nice reel.
Gotta give this to BSPN:

Their website showed highlight reels of DiNucci that were not at all flattering.

I thought they actually drafted him

Yes they did. An attempt at humour didn't translate well. Carry on. Thanks

Romo take II?

What are the similarities? Unknown white guy from a small school, decent runner, not showy, good work ethic, etc....?...

 

[CalPolyTechnique]

Only gripe, he will be 24 in November and my JMU friends couldn’t wait until he left lol

Why's that?

 

[stinkface]

There is indeed a bit of early Tony Romo in his game. Course that was before Romo was broken like a twig.

Here's DiNucci in the championship game vs. North Dakota State.

Played well, but ends the game by throwing a pick in the endzone.

Shades of Romo's divisional playoff game vs. the Giants.

A couple years on the practice squad might help him. I had hoped he could be the back up but I’m not even sure he’s better than Rush.

I bet you think Carson Wentz is better than Prescott. Prescott was the best quarterback in the draft class. And he will get paid. So

He changed his name.

His real name is Tom Brady-Montana.

I will say this...I bet you this guy won't be afraid to let it rip if he gets into a preseason game.

That would be fun to see.

A question: Why do all these athletes always say they are "going to put their head down and go to work"? Isn't it a good idea to keep your head up so that you can see what you're doing?

Hey, it worked for Gus Frerotte

I know you're joking, but I assume it refers to paper pusher work, as opposed to manual labor or athletics.

 

[DeaconMoss]

I don't think so. While he looks decent the fact that he is coming in from James Madison means he will be quite raw. If someone beats out Rush for our backup spot it will be someone not here so far, not him. Though there are a couple guys a little more pro ready who could go undrafted and be our guy.

Trust me there are many many power 5 teams that do not want to step on the field with the dukes.

Loved Excalibur when it first came out, but it didn't age well.

 

[ShortRound]

Lol uh oh, what’s the significance of the date? Which game?

I thought it was related to the saying about putting your nose to the grindstone. It's just weird the idioms that we continue to pass down.

Didn't age well? You know. Every other movie that has come after Excalibur is based on Excalibur.

One thing I loved from watching his North Dakota State game is whenever he drew an offsides penalty and had a free play, he would chuck it deep with no f's given.

One of my pet peeves is when QB's know they have a free play and throw a little checkdown pass.
