BY needs to be more consistent and continue to make big plays in big moments. Like take over a couple of series a game, particularly at the end. If he can't become that, then they should be looking for his replacement. You can not blame a QB for losses with the worst oline/receiver/coaching combination this team has ever had - in his rookie season at that. And then a below average receiving group to go with the worst defense in NFL history his second season. I don't understand. QBs aren't one man teams. It takes a team to win games. 11 on offense, 11 on defense, 11 on special teams, an OC, a DC and a HC. Let's have more than one play of 25+ yards of YAC in a season before condemning the QB for not breaking 300 yards passing a game. Perfectly acceptable to have high expectations but let's not be completely unrealistic.

He’s not a safety in reality. Doesn’t do anything besides ST, but is very good at that. With how awful we’ve been there past few years just find room for him somewhere and do it

Canales said it was a concern when he was justifying all his roster moves. Which I still say you can’t take what coaches say as the gospel when they are explaining things on a mic. Hunter said we got games coming up, so I guess we will see.

Im not a Tar Heel fan but being good isnt really relevant. Its about $

I think how good of year Hunter has boils down to Canales’ scheme and playcalling. If he just runs the stuff he did last year and asks him to run ATs routes….Hunter won’t do much

Dabo said the timeline is about 3-5 years. IMO, he has been pretty spot on about college football overall…..and IMO I think he was speaking not off a gut but just the general inside consensus. the end game is for the top of college football to essentially have their own league/division and that doesn’t just mean Clemson leaves the ACC….it means UGA, Michigan, etc all leave their conference too.

So you are a Carolina fan, and the administration knows this, if Carolina goes to the SEC they will be below Vandy and you and I both know I’m not kidding, they have not been the greatest and basketball lately either. It would be an absolute disaster for Carolina to go to the SEC. Look at SC, they may finally have something this year but they left the ACC in what? The 80’s? What have they done in the SEC in 40 years? That will be any ACC school that goes to the SEC or the Big 10 and they know it. Especially Carolina, they have nothing to offer the SEC, we already know that Clemson and FSU has been denied by the board, they couldn’t go if they wanted to…where would they go?

This wasn't unknown to the public. It was covered previous to the trade and going back to June in the media. So the Packers would know. It probably just isnt considered significant. https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/46097336/cowboys-appear-open-micah-parsons-trade-offers

He said his conditioning in camp was a problem and the plan was for him to go to the PS to work on that. When the Adam thing happened, they decided to have him join the 53. The plan is still for him to work on his conditioning for the time being. He may be inactive or he may just play a few times here and there.

If the lowly Saints cut him this late he must be really bad.

Are trades like these not pending a physical? It was public knowledge he was dealing with an injury at some level regardless so no one with the Packers can plead ignorance altogether.

Im sure he had to pass a physical as part of the deal. The Packers had to have known to pay a price that high. If they didn't, there's no lemon law in the NFL.

There are no “good” safeties cut a week before the season starts.

Ok that’s pretty sly in a funny way if it turns into something

This is akin to calling Karl Hamilton a good WR. He's a special teamer pushing 30. They probably found someone younger and cheaper who can do it and maybe actually play safety too.

According to PFF which our team cares greatly about seemingly, he was garbage. 168th/171 strong safeties. Terrible overall grade at 37.6 with a 43.5 coverage grade. https://www.pff.com/nfl/players/jt-gray/51495

he would be a great add. probably the best specialist over the past 5 years

The reason is that it was the only viable option for both parties. The SEC and Big10 weren't an option for those schools and any schools those conferences would want weren't an option for the ACC. Finnebaum is already saying that UNC to the SEC is gonna happen, it's now just a question of who's coming along with them and when those schools will pull the plug on the buyout. Buyout is $165M currently but drops by $18M per year until bottoming it at $75M in '30-'31. That's pretty much the ACC's expiration date and it may not last that long.

The ACC is the third beast conference in college sports taking in all sports, there’s a reason SMU and cal come to the ACC. They will not dissolve. Some may leave like Maryland who has had zero success since leaving Clemson, FSU, Miami and / or Carolina would all be stupid to leave and be the 4th or 5th best anywhere else and never sniff a playoff birth again. The ACC will not be gone in 3 or 4 years.

Finebaum has not been disappointing so far. Extra salty callers today.

Absolutely gonna happen.

Not going to happen

Nick Underhill @nick_underhill Saints released S J.T. Gray, per source special teams demon, 3x all pro apparently 29 years old also was a captain at least one year Gray, who joined the Saints in 2018 as an undrafted rookie free agent, was a special teams standout and team captain. He has been a first-team All-Pro Selection twice and was named to the Pro Bowl in 2021 as a special teamer. he was going to make about 3.5 mill this year, we can get him for less than that I'm sure. Not sure how good he is at safety though

Now, will they play him and break their new toy or will they rest him

Doubt it would have changed anything. The opportunity to get a top player at a premium position at his age is so rare.
