Matt Rhule needs wins to stay employed.

and excuding somewhere like maybe Montana. Most of the maps where internet is lacking is prime college football real estate.

If already said if I had laid money I would take the over because I am calling for 6 wins. But that line is perfect at 5.5. Hard to figure out which side of it to go.

and Chuba can’t catch well. Foreman has 18 career catches over 4 years that’s not insurance for if CMC goes down. All it takes is one player getting hurt (CMC) and we are in a bad spot. And his history makes that an important issue.

Maybe you could supply a list of what we can and can’t talk about. so we shouldn’t talk about the roster and how we could improve in areas. Like this thread. can’t talk about our bad coaches and owner. what else?

Teddy largely was. He just refused to make the throws he needed to. O still has problems but Teddy not pulling the trigger on plays that existed was the primary problem that year on O. 2020 and 2021 IMO can't be lumped as the same messes/problems.

this ranking has a similar feel to the one where Carolina earned greatest uniforms of all time.

and frankly their WRs too. Unless you just want depth and roleplayers. No one has really panned out post Keyshawn and I always thought he was overrated.

I mean they all are dirtbags. Jimbo was just accused a couple years back of sorts of stuff. Hard to rise to the ranks of the most elite college programs and not be a seedy dirtbag. Except for Dabo. And if you disagree, Dabo and I will pray for your lost soul. You're welcome. Think it actually is easier for a decent man to be NFL coach than at a top tier college program.

the rule is often great players make bad coaches if you look at GOAT coaches that played....they normally weren't very good. If you look at GOAT players that coached...they normally sucked

QBs with weaker physical tools have gone to situations just as bad....and performed better. Sam is an athlete. Not a QB. Simple as that. Thinking you can make him one just isn't going to happen. Not when his physical tools would limit him to being a traditional pocket passer.

The college football playoff era also has gotten boring. Unless you are a fan of a handful of teams. put Bama, Clemson, OSU, ND, OU and the top 3 SEC schools in a hat. Draw names. Pull at random and you would be pretty good psychic for the final 4.

I would think it would just help the major programs separate even further and not actually aid smaller programs. and the college football playoff era is already is coming down to just a handful of teams. I would think if the NIL doesn’t change….while the teams might change the top from what they are now, the couple teams that emerge will create even more separation. everyone hates Dabo and Saban. And a lot of it is just. But they have been making a lot of good points about NIL, the portal, etc.

they generate the most money in all of college football

that isn’t the point being made here

The richest school just secured the #1 recruiting class of all time….thanks to “NIL”. Yes, pay for play has always happened and yes the rich have always benefited from it in college sports. The introduction of NIL is just a new version on steroids. Therefore it gets even more extreme. Saban speaks the truth. There just happens to be some hypocrisy in it given Bama is saying it….and were one of the lead dogs of the older model.

If Minshew isn’t better than Sam Darnold….then what measurement would someone use to make the case for Sam. statistically across the board Minshew is better and he did it with Jags.

Oh I wasn’t implying it hasn’t always existed. It has. Bama had mastered the old system for example. Which basically what this Saban/Jimbo beef is IMO. The new version? Well someone like A&M does have new advantages now. Which he isn’t happy about. Now it’s more cash. A lot more. And they don’t really have to hide it. They just use the NIL cover.

The NIL in theory is good. But what presently exists at big schools now isn’t really that. It’s just pay for play. With a lot more cash and not in secret. NIL does need some work.

Saban didn’t even accuse Jimbo, the players, etc of doing something illegal or wrong. Jumbo’s rant was against an accusation that wasn’t actually made. LOL. Jimbo is just mad Saban outed what the wealthiest college did and what is going to continue to happen. And Jimbo is going to want it to stay that way for him to reap the benefits. Saban wants the rules/NIL changed.

Sam Darnold is basically the WR that runs a 4.2 at the combine yet can't really run routes or catch well. Yet instead of him disappearing quitely out of the league..... they keep putting him back out on the field depsite it being extremely clear he isn't actually good at football at this level. I mean, there is actually no purpose of Sam Darnold being on our roster at this point.

if you hadn't eaten in 3 days...you would probably get hype over a random box of rasins you found. that's kinda how things are in Carolina world of late. Minshew is exciting....after watching Sam Darnold.

Teddy is basically Tyrod though. They both have basically the exact same edge over him in the W/L department and TD/INT department. I know hating Teddy is hip here. And he isn't good. But he is still better than Sam Darnold.

I mean the Tyrod thing is pretty weird. Maybe he is factoring his recent health. I guess that could make sense. He clearly should be above Sam Darnold based on careers to date. Tyrod has a winning record as a starter and pretty much better everything statisically.

Michigan was in the college football playoffs last season. Harbaugh just signed a 5 year contract extension 2 months ago. Michigan beat Ohio St and Penn St last year. Just pulled the #5 QB per rivals from the 2021 class.
