Harbaugh Posted June 11, 2014 Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 I'm new to this forum and I'm not sure if this was posted when he signed or not, but Marve has a pretty wild history. According to his Wikipedia page, here's what I've gathered: Has torn his ACL THREE times. Resisted arrest. Suspended for a bowl game (academic purposes.) Illegal benefits received from non other than Nevin Shapiro. Interesting stuff. I love second, third, fourth (whatever he's on) chance stories, however if anyone here meets him, and he asks, don't make any financial investments with him!

Blueandgold Posted June 11, 2014 Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 I have zero problem with a guy taking money if he needs it while in college. The money the NCAA makes off of your name is robbery.

Tracker Posted June 11, 2014 Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 The resisting arrest charge was pretty mickey mouse, but you have to admire his determination in pursuing a QB career even after three big knee owies. Harbaugh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Posted June 11, 2014 Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 He can run fast and throw the ball hard and doesn't appear to have a drug problem.... that's good enough for me. The only concern I'd have is the injuries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harbaugh Posted June 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 The resisting arrest charge was pretty mickey mouse, but you have to admire his determination in pursuing a QB career even after three big knee owies. I wonder how long until he's battling back for a fourth time, although he won't be getting hit much this year unless were in a state of emergency so the over under can't be too low.

Stickem Posted June 11, 2014 Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 I don't think Marve has any knees left. You wouldn't know it by the way he took off up the field to move the chains last night. If he can continue to impress against the stumps, I could become a big fan of his in a hurry. Accurately throwing the rock on a rope is a gift. I hope he can keep it going.

kelownabomberfan Posted June 11, 2014 Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 That fourth string kid that the Argos had - Pachal- he sounded like he had quite the past too. CFL - the second chance league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goalie Posted June 11, 2014 Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 I don't think im overly concerned, cuz let's be honest here, willy is the guy we will be moving forward with. Knew about Marves issues when we signed him, was talked about quite a lot, but... honestly, last night, it made me wonder if that was a different robert marve I don't think marve will see much game action this season, perhaps on 2nd or 3rd and shorts but... he looked pretty darn good last night, running and passing. Especially his mobility in the pocket, truly does bring a different look than the other qb's on the roster. I like the kid, hey man, we all do silly things when we are younger, sounds like his father might have been a little pushy too, good for the kid to get away from some of his past.. whats in the past is in the past, looked good yesterday. Obviously bombers checked him out quite thoroughly. Thing is, he's pretty young so maybe just maybe taking a year off football helped him.

iso_55 Posted June 11, 2014 Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 The resisting arrest charge was pretty mickey mouse, but you have to admire his determination in pursuing a QB career even after three big knee owies. That concerns me the most. He can motor so if he gets hurt again it could be over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
road griller Posted June 11, 2014 Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 More interested in his future here. Love the fire and passion, and he has the tools. Looks like a pretty hefty brace but he can still play with it, maybe his knee will hold up for a good #2 career. Hall looked lost and performed like a CIS rookie out there (minus the arm strength) compared to Marve's first ever CFL playing time. Willy, Brohm Marve would work for me.

Mark F Posted June 11, 2014 Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 "Marve and fellow running back Ralph Bolden, who fought back from a combined six ACL tears to help the team qualify for postseason play, earned the utmost respect from Boilermaker fans for their warrior mentalities." http://www.purdueexponent.org/sports/mens/football/article_a0dab901-cf65-526f-a445-cc6768bdd437.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Unknown Poster Posted June 11, 2014 Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 I wont get too excited. Small sample size. Exhibition game. And all that. Troy Kopp comes to mind. But he looked good and exciting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bearpants Posted June 11, 2014 Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 If he makes it as the 3rd stringer, I wonder if he gets consideration as the short yardage QB... probably a better option than Hall for that role Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
17to85 Posted June 11, 2014 Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 All I know is the offense was really bogged down until he came in during the 4th quarter and all of a sudden they were moving the ball. Showed a lot more accuracy then Brohm did. Blue-urns 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iso_55 Posted June 11, 2014 Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 You could tell Pachal is American. He pronounces it Pa-Hall. We say it like it is French. Pa-Shall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whats the difference then with Marve pronounced Ma-Arve and Favre pronounced Fa-Arve????? You would think Marve would be spelt Mavre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goalie Posted June 11, 2014 Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 From guys like bauming and the media guys at training camp, marve has looked good there too. Really haven't heard them say he's had a bad day Today is an example Bauming tweeted... hall is in and throws a ball that legget easily intercepts. Brohm comes in, gets picked off but then completes a nice pass. Marve comes in goes 5 for 5 for 75 yards. I mean, the guys been doing it since florida mini camp.

The expectation that athletes in their early 20's are supposed to behave like Mother Teresa just because they happen to be athletes is bound to disappoint. More often than not they will behave just like any other 21 year old male. Unless they have more disposable income, then they may behave worse. Nothing on his rap sheet raises my eyebrows. Been there, done that. The 3 knee surgeries might be a concern if I hadn't seen him running at practise. Powerful, smooth strides, quite an effortless runner actually.
