Please, By All Means, Doubt Pat White

To be honest, I think he'd prefer it.
This guy, basically since he stepped foot on campus, has done nothing but defy expectation at every turn. Why we're surprised at his combine performance is beyond me. He has shown that he will outwork everyone else to make up for any perceived deficiency he might have, be it size, strength, or ability.
But, yet, this is shocking to the college football and NFL world. Why? We've seen it for four years, why not now?
Todd McShay refuses to report anything about Pat White, positive or negative, without first qualifying that he believes he is nothing more than a slot receiver/wildcat player. While after the Combine performance he can’t help but be positive, there is still a lingering disingenuousness about his comments.
I know enough about Pat White to not doubt his resolve; McShay doesn’t. That’s why his combine performance is surprising to everyone else but Mountaineer fans.

McShay
If he’s describing him as a wildcat player, that’s a step up for McShay, at least he conceives of Pat in the backfield!
Well said, future AD! Let’s hope that, like Slaton before him, Pat ends up on everyone’s watch list in the NFL by Christmastime 09.
Any word on how our other guys did?
McShay is an idiot
Pat White is nothing short of electrifying. If I was an NFL GM, and I didn’t draft Pat White, I would have a lot of explaining to do.

Why anyone pays attention to these jackasses is beyond me
The 24 hour news- and sports- cycle results in the VAST majority of info being speculation and ill-informed opinion. I can’t stand to watch Sportscenter, with the Mount Rushmore fluff crap, Skip Bayless, etc etc etc
These jackals come out and say that Pat can’t do this, can’t do that and then when he does, they ignore it and continue to say that he can’t.
As Georgia, Georgia Tech, Oklahoma, and North Carolina – and many others- doubt Pat White at your own peril.

I'm with you charley
He’s a mountaineer. And as mountaineers, we thrive on being the underdog. Mike Gansy relinquished his title. Here on Pat White will be known as Pat Fucking White – a man that wakes up and pisses excellence.
I watched Talladega Nights the other day, hence the reference.
