Ain’t no such thing. Gamecocks going to be 3-3 shortly just wishing to get to the Kmart Bowl by year end

I think SC probably a little better than some thought they would be…but I also think LSU is just a lot worse and got their standard over hype coming into a season.

The Gamecock fanbase is like the 10th wonder of the world. It defies logic how a football program that meh….can have the fan base and atmosphere they routinely pull off. They could be 0-8 and with Wofford coming into town and they would have the stadium rocking at kickoff

back? Gamecocks got one conference title and it’s an ACC title.

Yep. It’s like when that NYE show kept trotting out Dick Clark. It’s just sad more than entertaining. Pat is bringing enough foolishness they can retire the mascot head bit

Maybe, but if you look at Carolina, San Fran, etc…..you got to think we have made the big trade up less appealing. And Caleb predictably looking like hot garbage ain’t going to help either. But I’m fine with a trade down pending we acquire a functional QB to steer this thing and focus on the rest for a bit

Top 3 WR prospect? We should only be scouting consensus #1 overall caliber folks lol

In my money, I’m already picking up for next week. Eventually everyone is going to catch on

We should have just played it safe in 2021 and gone with our tradition of great LBs. It’s been the most impactful spot in reality for Carolina. RB and LBs. Basically the only thing that works out for us

nah, don’t get it twisted, athletes are trying to take over talk space. And they got their own agenda too….just like the folks they complained about. Bryce is the biggest part of WHY the Saints dropped all them points on our head. First 5 drives….we averaged 4 yards an offensive drive. That’s how teams put up points on you.

He should already been benched. But we should be better managed. 49ers drafted Trey Lance. They didn’t engineer their roster so it was only Trey Lance as the option…..

That’s hindsight though and you know the outcome. Cam could have been a bust. You never know. Option A - spend your first round pick on a young QB - and miss on the pick Option B - trade away all your players, trade away your draft picks….and miss on the pick My argument is option A what we should have done. People too fixated on who the player was. Doesn’t matter. We should have just drafted Fields. We would be better positioned to move on from a miss.

Fields likely will be a strong #2 in the NFL. He at least has some elite tools. Namely his legs. He is a poor mans Lamar. And no one wants that as their #1. No one wanted Fields because no one wants to build a unicorn O for a poor man’s Lamar. It takes a really special player to build a unique O for them. Cam and Lamar. That’s basically it. I think Fields actually best compares to Kapernick. You could see some success in the right O…..but that’s such a rarity for that to align

again, too much fixation of Fields. It’s about management. what we did was think we were super smart and traded away CMC, DJ Moore and a host of draft picks….to acquire a much worse QB than Fields. It’s essentially just an argument to not try to outsmart the draft and mortgage your team for a player. Odds are we would be better off today just using our picks as they are. So you draft Fields if you thought you needed to try a young QB. If you miss…you likely don’t become the biggest joke in all of pro sports. And that’s what the desperation at QB has resulted in. Stupidity. Drafting Fields would have just been a miss. We would not be the joke we are today. Maybe still bad. But not so far behind.

Yep, they all elevated him. Bama has never had QB play elevated those around them. It’s pretty consistent.

Yeah, because it’s not so much about Fields. It’s about not being stupid and thinking you are a genius that can out think the random lottery that is the draft with crazy and dumb moves. so you if you need a young QB you draft one where you can….and you then get to keep CMC, DJ Moore and a bunch of draft picks that help make your team better. So when Fields isn’t what you wanted him to be….you are in a much better place than we are today. * it’s not actually about Fields.

That was the birth of the Seattle fixation IMO.

Ok. But that’s not a rebuttal of the point. Still better than Young….and you keep CMC, DJ Moore and a bunch of draft picks. and the team would have been more fun to watch on top of that. and if Fields sucked here (not Bryce suck mind you)….you draft again. But you still have all your studs and draft picks.

Panthers should have just pulled the no brainer move that fell into their laps. Drafted Justin Fields at 8. Kept CMC . Kept DJ Moore. Kept their draft picks. NFL is way too hard to think you are the smartest guy and the room and can trade away everyone and everything for a dude. yeah, we might not of solved the puzzle doing that….but it would have been a more fun ride and more enjoyable team to watch. And probably not the worst in all of pro sports

He also is one of those kids that basically only played on super squads. Transferred in high school to play on a super team. Went to college and played on a super team. To an extent, playing on a super team doesn’t require a superstar QB….requires a certain level of play to allow that freaks to be freaks around you. See basically all Saban’s QBs. Basically for over a decade they all were just good college QBs. None ever went to the NFL and were great QBs when the playing field leveled out.

To be really fair….Canales was saddled with him. Dan Morgan could have just as easily been 100% part of the Bryce sales job as he could have been opposed to it. To me it’s similar denialism we used when we blamed Rhule for Fitterer being bad and that he was actually good. He was never good. And we have no actual evidence Dan was against Bryce. I doubt Fitterer won the Bryce war with literally everyone against the move.

I mean, I don’t know if I blame Evero…front office chose to “fix” the O and let the D talent go. Think he was essentially originally setup to be the scapegoat for the year. That’s what NFL teams largely do. Well, it’s not us, it’s just THAT guy. It’s Marty! I mean, it was Ron. It’s Joe Brady making Rhule bad! We all know Rhule was the all powerful holding Fitterer back! It’s Fitt! He has to go….the real smart guys are the ones behind him. Frank doesn’t know football anymore! We just need a young HC. It’s a QB league. You have to find a QB. Do that, and lots of coaches and GMs can do the job.

it’s a horrific marriage orchestrated by Tepper In no sane world would you have a horrible young QB that you over invested in and think the solution would be…to pair him up with a newb OC that has never called an O and a newb HC (with a grand total of 1 year under his belt as a coordinator). We did that.

he highlighted one play….but there were several in the game where it tough to deny Bryce Young can’t see often because of the lineman in front of him.
