I've done tons of illegal stuff and still have a clean record.
My first impression on this possible situation was to show the kid the door. The more I think about it, though, the more I think we should give the kid a chance. I just can't figure out a worst case scenario that trumps the potential gain. (<-- youtube link)
And, for every DonW that quits coming, we'll have 5 new faces at games just because of the buzz (be that positive or negative) around the kid.

some fun throws:
1:10 - 30 Yds, in stride, good accuracy
1:20 - accurate pass with great 'zip' while running
3:30 - accurate, well-led TD pass while falling back (the accuracy is impressive on the replay)
3:43 - beautiful over-the-shoulder deep pass.
The kid's running/scrambling ability is all over the video.

I'm wondering if he was just in a bad location and making bad decisions. No doubt stealing the computer from the frat house was a bad decision and having weed (illegal in this country no matter how you feel about that) were bad decisions, but is it really THUGish?? Not sure that this is worse than half of Hawaii's football team.
If we can take the kid out of the hood and that get's the "thuggish" behavior out of him, then FANTASTIC. If he brings the thuggish stuff here, then we'll drop him like a pancake and he can go off doing whatever he wants.
They're very similar to Ross's. That's for sure. It would probably be appropriate to note that I've always been a Jenkins supporter, probably to a fault. I still feel that he's the most capable QB and leader on the roster. I'm merely stating that there is a tremendous potential in Masoli- that his potential upside is bigger than his potential downside.
Ross had a slightly better passer rating, with Masoli rated a hair lower in nearly every catagory.
However, Masoli had almost 700 yards rushing, and that on a team with over 3,000 yards rushing.
