JStew > Chuba Olsen, Dickson > Tremble, Sanders Oher/Norwell/Kalil/Turner/Remmers > Icky/DLew/Mays/Zavala/Moton The WR room is probably the only group better than the 2015 team.

Which part of "Stroud has regressed" did you fail to interpret?

What does eating opossum have to do with playing football? I really despise this line from you city slickers who don’t know a hoe from a hoe. Chill on your hatred of all things peaceable and nice.

It's even easier than that. CJ was said to have elevated his team rather the entire team elevating one another. However, the team is 0-3 with CJ's stats being worse than Bryce's this year. Defense? Weapons? Coaching? Those were called excuses for Bryce, but they're now called reasons for CJ? The hypocrisy is deafening.

Wilks is overrated as a coach? He got one year in Arizona and his half year in Carolina was the best ball we’ve seen since what, 2017? We were Ickey Ekwonu meltdown away from the playoffs in 2022 despite everything that happened. We should have kept Wilks, re-signed Darnold, re-signed Foreman, drafted Kincaid, Torrance, and Charbonnet. Then, had we sucked again, we could have taken Caleb Williams, Jayden Daniels, or Drake Maye and kept DJ Moore.

They fired him because he made 0 changes. It was the same offense from year 1 and when defenses keyed in on that he made no changes. Now did they replace him with someone better? I dont know. They also got rid of their best OL and didn’t replace that talent. They went and drafted more WRs and didn’t aggressively try to fix the OL after trading their best guy to Washington.

It’s not cheating. It’s pattern recognition.

ABC - Always Be Cheating

Very high potential especially Scourton. His versatility is looking more than previously shown. I think he should be a starter Prince looks like a pass rush specialist right now. But that's okay, he will develop.

I can. They hired a great DC and he classically messed up a good thing on the other side. They had success on the offensive side and then took it for granted when team building. Personally I think they got lucky with Stroud and then did what their normal is. Im not a fan of their GM either so I just think your seeing the true normal from that group. There is a reason Kiffen wanted to remain a top DC vs taking on the switch to HC. Being great as a coordinator doesn't require the same talents that makes a great HC. Bowles is doing a better job as HC than I think of his times as a DC too. Fans just take it for granted that a great coordinator will automatically make a great HC.

He wasn't the problem imo

I can’t believe the Texans fired Slowik. They really had a bizarre offseason

It's just overall a massive pain in the ass for something that may or may not happen. You see games rescheduled for hurricanes. You don't see games rescheduled for scattered thunderstorms. It's a lot better to maybe deal with the possibility of an hour or two delay than it is to move the entire operation due to the chance of scattered thunderstorms. It's just part of the deal playing outdoors in the early part of the season. We only have a couple more weeks with it being a major issue.

Yeah probably the latter.

I assume the big reason they would be hesitant to flex for weather is less about the teams being able to pull it off and the TV/broadcast/money stuff coming into play

It's not just the corporations. Look at all the resources that go into planning for the traffic, etc. To snap your fingers at the last minute and bump a major D1 football game up a few hours is simple to say but it's a logistical nightmare. And predicting scattered thunderstorms a week out? I mean, we all watch the weather. Weather predictions a week out is like planning your finances around scratch off lottery tickets.

Smart coach. Good attitude too. Im a little shocked Bowles was able to find him as an OC after losing his OC the year before. For a deffensive HC to keep finding decent to good OCs is a huge hurdle. Look down at the Texans. The best DCs to HCs don't figure out thr other side very often and they can make a mess of it like that more often than not. I think we got the wrong one honestly. That is a quality HC or at least a guy who has a good chance of turning into one.

Probably not. But im not gonna give the billion dollar corporations the benefit of the doubt here. fug em. They should be able to watch the weather over the course of a week and make an educated decision. I have to do it in my line of work for logistics.

Yeah, I think you should at least be able to flex pending it’s done 24 hours out to avoid the really big and obvious.

We just won a game 30-0 with a QB half the people on here call the biggest bust ever. how do you know we aren’t?

The logistics of that can't be simple. Putting on a high level D1 football game is a massive multifaceted operation. Pretty damn hard to just wake up in the morning and say "hey, let's bump this whole thing up a few hours".

How about fug them both? Baker came in with an attitude problem. It wasn't a secret in Cleveland either. Wilks had a QB playing a DE on the scout team and hasn't stuck anywhere long so whatever is going on there it seems to be a thing. Right now Wilks is coaching a bottom 3rd D, one that was a top 3rd 2 years ago, so it's not even spilt milk people are crying over...not sure what it is but it isn't very good. I say that while still appreciating the post Rhule effort. Fug them both and the fact this team still can't beat Baker in Tampa is the only thing in all of this worth being upset about IMO.

These rain delays are getting old. They need to do a better job of watching the weather and flexing. Game starts at 745 and the thunder storms start at 8 in columbia today. Meanwhile you could move it to 330 and finish before they start. Makes going and sitting there awful before you even have to watch that excuse for an offensive line play. Edit: As I say that it looks like the weather has cleared up some..thank Allah for that. Point remains though /endrant

Directly. You can indirectly help facilitate as many outside NIL deals as possible. The perks you're talking about are essentially what are now simply NIL deals not directly coming from the school and they're legal now.

Allowable is the operative word here. If you think Georgia, Penn State and similar programs are only spending $20M on players, Eric Dickerson's Trans Am would like a word with you.
