I liked him

thought he could have developed into something. But I guess that’s why I’m a part time model and not a GM lol

Time is a great teacher... unfortunately it kills all it's pupils.

he's been terrible

He signed a CFL record contract with the Hamilton Tigercats (3 yrs – $1.2M, don’t laugh) and bombed. He made jamarcus look like kurt warner in comparison.

He had a famous quote when he was on HBO's"Hard Knocks":

He’s the third string QB that got cut in the 2007 preseason that made the “I can’t make chicken salad out of chicken shit” comment.

Hah. Apparently he can’t make chicken salad at all in the NFL.

You are not tracking QB's.

You secretly sweat the CFL.

You know you rock when you're being brought to a CFL team to compete with a guy named Buck Pierce.

Looks like he had something for a moment

He signed with the BC Lions of the Canadian Football League, where he rose from third-string quarterback in 2003 to be named the Most Outstanding Player of the 2004 season, leading the Lions toward an appearance in the 92nd Grey Cup after starter Dave Dickenson was injured early in the season.

Printers held the CFL record for single-game completion percentage, set with the BC Lions in a 49-11 victory over the Hamilton Tiger-Cats at Ivor Wynne Stadium on August 13, 2004. Printers completed 20 of 22 passes (90.9%) for 303 yards.

Dang so sad

I loved watching this guy on hard knocks. He was a great team player. He showed flashes of great play but Herm was too dumb tosee his potential. I miss this guy
