It'll be interesting to see how Chris Harper fits in at Kansas State.

Harper, who spent his freshman season playing football at Oregon, is transferring to K-State and will be eligible for the 2010 season. The former Northwest High standout is intent on playing quarterback at KSU, and he certainly fits the Bill Snyder profile for that position.

It was Snyder who got tremendous mileage out of dual-threat types Michael Bishop, Jonathan Beasley and Ell Roberson during his first tenure as coach. All three of those quarterbacks were raw passers who become better under Snyder's tutelage.

But they also played before the explosion of spread offenses around the country, and particularly in the Big 12. It'll be interesting to see whether Harper can become a good-enough passer to play quarterback. Right now, he's probably not. But he'll have more than a year to get better.

Bob Lutz, once again proving that he's not very good at making distinctions. Somehow, I'm not terribly concerned about which spread offense other teams are running when the coach for whom Harper will be playing is Bill Snyder.

I'm going to compare Bob Lutz to Dan Quayle...

Bob Lutz:
Chris Harper fits the mold for a Synderesque quarterback.
I mean before the spread offense attack came to the Big 12.
Every Big 12 team runs the spread offense attack.
Kansas State is not in the Big 12.

Dan Quayle:
The Holocaust was an obscene period in our nation’s history.
I mean in this century’s history.
But we all lived in this century.
I didn’t live in this century.

Can someone please tell me how I can get a job at the Wichita Eagle?

No offense to J-Mart, but if Lutz is any indicator, you can completely suck ass at your job for years and years, and instead of getting fired, you get a radio gig.
