Printers should have all ingredients for stardom in the NFL, he can run ala Vick but can actually throw a ball.

I hope he does well, and when his 5 years are done, come to Calgary

Kansas City does have a large Black population. And a Black coach. But I don't see how that has anything to do with his playing ability. I watched the last half of the game on NFL network. He had 71 yds but more than half of that came off a 44 yard pass. Which was perfect. On one play in the red zone I think he thought he was back in the CFL. He threw the ball 10 yards out of bounds over the head of his receiver who would have had to make a tippy toe catch if the ball would have been thrown to him. And no, it didn't look like he was just throwing the ball away either. The Kansas City media was all giddy over Printers before mini camp. Then you woudn't even know he existed after camp. The only reason he got the playing time he did on Saturday night was because backup Huard is hurt and so is third round pick Croyle.
