    Vanderbilt just announced that Patton Robinette will start at QB. (Any relation to Garland at WWL?) Will be interesting to see if Rivers sees any action this year.

    I figured this would happen when he transferred to a SEC team. He should have done a Craig Nall and gone to a smaller school where he would have started. Nall got himself into the NFL.

    I'm thinking he chose Vandy due to the degree as he knew his fb future better than those who were upset because they believe Miles ran him off.

    He already has a degree from LSU so any degree he gets from Vandy would be in a graduate program. Still not a bad thing to have on your resume. It looks better to employers than "Younger brother of NFL starting QB."

    True, but I wonder which pays better. Heh.

    The pay of the starting NFL QBs brother depends on how well he can say "Any fries with that order?"

    I've always wondered if Peyton and Eli just wrote Cooper a big check. Heh.

    Though apparently he's done well in business in his own right but your neither are worth hundreds of millions

    Pretty sure Cooper makes over a mil a year. Got that from a good source years ago. He's essentially a stock broker, and is part owner of his business. Over the life of his career, he may exceed his brothers, but I dunno for sure. He's not hurting, lets just leave it at that. Nothing to hang his head over for sure.
