Cal was getting a lot of 5 star recruits in the early to mid 2000s. Kyle Boller, DeSean Jackson, Marshawn Lynch, Joe Ayoob (JuCo 5 star). That was when the current Pac powers like Stanford, Washington, etc were down.
Exactly, I noticed that to he too. He looks way more relaxed and natural now. Cal is the only Division 1 school that offered him a scholarship from what I understand.
CURTIS MCNEIL Pretty sure Jeff Tedford (I think that’s his name) was a coach at CAL at the time and that is how he trained his QBs to hold and deliver the ball.

@@DegenerateSpeculator How were they cheating? Because Bush took money? SC had nothing to do with that.

It's crazy to see this footage. Although his mechanics are a bit wonky, no doubt thanks to Tedford. You can still see the arm strength, accuracy, and quick release is there. It just needed refinement. What a raw talent Aaron was.
I mean even his throwing mechanics are awkward in this, he's sooooo much better now, it's like every ball that came out of his hands are so perfect now.
I very much remember this 2004 college football season, and watching this USC-CAL game live. This was the year USC destroyed Oklahoma in the BCS National title game. I was in my Junior year of High School. During this season Aaron Rodgers was a rising, but unpolished prospect still. Aaron Rodgers clearly had talent, but he was still developing during this time. A lot of folks were not sure if Aaron Rodgers would be a great pro or if he was just another product of Jeff Tedfords offense. This was the same offense that gave us Kyle Boller, and Boller as a first round pick out of CAL in 2003 prior to Aaron's arrival to CAL. I remember during this period also that all of Tedford's QB's at the time were taught that high position delivery stance with the ball pretty much above shoulder height. Boller had this same delivery during his time at CAL. Aaron was not a finished product coming out of CAL. I remember a big part of Aaron transitioning into the NFL was reteaching those mechanics because that stance did not work in the NFL. Aaron was one of those guys who benefited from a couple of years of not being thrown into the fire right away in the NFL. He was able to re-vamp his throwing mechanics during those years as Favre's back-up and it worked wonders for Rodgers.
Well Lamar is a running QB A Rod isn’t so that is not a lot of weight to be bounced around the way nfl hits as opposed to cam newton 6’6 250 for example
So many NFL stars on each side of both teams. For Cal (Marshawn Lynch, Aaron Rodgers, JJ Aarington, Alex Mack, Brandon Mebane, Thomas Decoud, Desean Jackson (although he was a freshman this game and sat on the bench). For USC (Reggie Bush, Steve Smith, Ryan Khalil, Frostee Rucker, Winston Justice, Mike Patterson, Lofa Tatupu, Terrell Thomas.
the secret strength to Cal back in those years was our offensive line. Coach Michalczek built a juggernaught back then. The Cal O'line was putting guys into the NFL for about 5 or 6 years straight.
I was at this game both of my nephews played at cal w him...i remember watch n practice i asked my nephews who he was cause he jus walkd on...he became good friends w them n i ended up gettn a few things signed by him b4 he left...but this game against sc was his best. Imagine if geoff mcarthur didnt drop that last pass they wudv beat sc and rodgers wudv been 24 for 24...Roll on u bears
Cal produced Rodgers, Lynch, and Jackson in this window, and all became NFL stars over a good duration of time. USC, the dominant team of the era, produced one bust after another- Leinart, Bush, Smith, Jarrett...
New Alchemy busts? Steve Smith made the pro bowl and won a super bowl with the giants, Bush also won a super bowl with the saints while having a long career in the NFL. Of course you won’t mention Lofa Tatupu and the career before injuries in the NFL. Don’t forget Pete Carroll being the only 3rd coach to ever win a college football championship and a superbowl in the NFL. Lynch being a freshman that year and Jackson not even college yet lol you might wanna look at the players USC had that went onto the league while Jackson got smacked running across the middle at the coliseum.
That before Matt injured his left throwing shoulder. After that he couldn't make the same throws he did in 2003 and 2004. Watch his 2005 season, he had hard time throwing the ball.
Maybe it's just me, but top programs today look so much more polished than then. Speed, size, mechanics, really everything. This is clearly identifiable as the college level, whereas watching Alabama today there's little visible difference. Even looking at Rodgers' arm strength, he has clearly developed a lot and needed time to develop (when he was behind Favre) in the pro ranks. Now we see guys like Russell Wilson, Pat Mahomes, and Deshaun Watson come in with the skills to be a starting caliber NFL QB.
Jared Cruz the 2005 team had over 23 NFL players. The 2004 team might have the same amount or more but this video is about the 2005 team and that’s who I’m talking about
I miss when California loved their college sports. Now they've been overran by kids that don't care to show support, or even worse, hate football because it's an "American" tradition. I know USC still has a decent crowd, but does anyone even show up to Cal Berkeley games anymore?
I remember this game very well, Aaron was throwing darts all game. Being a Raiders Fan I thought for sure Aaron was going to be the 1st round draft for them and it pissed me off that they didn't pick him, right in their backyard and wiffed!!!
It all makes sense now why Pete carol didn’t give marshawn the ball ‘ he wanted Russell to be the next Rodgers because he remembers lynch and Aaron where once teammates and he remembers this game
Tedford was so dumb making his quarterbacks hold the ball by their ear. No, that’s not Rodgers’s natural throwing technique. Why on earth would you tinker with perfection?
Just in case anyone reads the above comment, take it from me, I've lived in Nor Cal the first 25 years of my life. Not a single person that matters refers to anywhere in the '530' as 'dirty' and no one gives 2 shits about Chico! No hate, but let's be real, the 'Dirty 530' isn't a thing and never will be! It would be like saying of where I am from, something dumb like, the Sick 916......just as lame, that's why no one would ever say that, hopefully!
Arron Rodgers was throwing all over USC, But even Cal knew To Run The Ball with Marshawn Lynch when you That Close To the Endzone. Shaking My Head Seahawks, Shaking My Head.
The good ole days. The Monday after this game I walked into a 300 seat lecture and you could hear a pin drop people were so bummed out about what happened.

Crazy how Cal had Rodgers and Lynch on the same team in '04. The next year they got Desean Jackson, that team would have been so dangerous.
