  1. He's 6'7". Centers are usually the shortest guy on the OL.
  2. I remember watching him at the Combine because I was watching OTs carefully given our need. The guy looks like a fish out of water. Like a guy with two left feet. I don't think he'd ever actually ran any of those drills before. He hadn't prepared a bit for the biggest job interview he'd ever have in his life. I couldn't believe it when the reports started trickling out that Hurney really liked him. Like... WHAT???
  3. I mean, Icky was trash last year. It wouldn't take much.
  4. I like bringing in food depth and potentially someone to push Icky if he doesn't put in the work this off-season.
  5. Glad we didn't give him that. We signed a decent vet and a stop gap rotational guy. Sign another rotational guy then head to the draft.
  6. I agree. But it's not the past yet. We're still in this poo right now. We won't be out until Bryce sinks or swims.
  7. Having #39 as well gives us some leeway. If there's several players we have rated similarly and there are really good offers coming in I'd move the pick.
  8. What's also in the past though? DJ Moore's tenure as a Panthers and the opportunity cost of the picks we gave up to get to #1 and who we passed on to take Bryce. This is shaping up to be the most disastrous move in franchise history.
  9. What if you traded a boatload of assets to get the bad one? We're basically left hoping our guy can get to mediocrity.
  10. You definitely really see it wear on a unit when the unit on the other side of the ball simply can't hold up their end of the bargain. Whether it's a defense carrying an offense or vice versa. Eventually the carrying unit is just like... "Damn, no matter what we do these clowns on the other side of the ball are gonna find a way to fuging lose the game."
  11. The bad QB route? Agreed. Sam Darnold was beyond terrible. And we traded real assets to get him.
  12. Nobody is saying that. Meanwhile, they get traded for peanuts while both have shown more promise than the guy we've mortgaged the franchise on. That's them hard to swallow pills.
  13. They're terrified to have even a hint of competition. Which is wild. Bryce went to Alabama. Trust and believe that Nick Saban was signing the best QBs he could get to put pen to paper every single year. If you're starting somewhere like Alabama or Georgia or OSU, etc. you came out of a pressure cooker. Oh, I'm a 4* or 5* recruit. STFU, practically everybody here is. You wouldn't be here if you weren't. Be the best or ride the pine. We're treating this guy with kid gloves when you can get your bottom dollar he never was at Alabama.
  14. Probably. I think Purdy is a step up from Bryce and Tua another step up from Purdy but I think they're all in that category of QB that you're hamstringing yourself when you have to pay them like a legit franchise QB.
  15. Wouldn't surprise me if Howell and Fields both don't end up starting this year.
  16. Bingo. It's the conundrum the Niners will find themselves in when they have to pay Purdy. A QB like that only works on a rookie contract. Take away the ability to surround him with an elite, high paid supporting cast and you're in trouble.
  17. Now that Roy has retired the KU matchup doesn't have near the storyline to it. I would've welcomed them this year though. Sucks for them but they suffered some very key injuries late and they're reeling.
  18. It didn't matter how it played out. We were getting paired with Arizona.
  19. I wouldn't have been surprised if the committee had Iowa State leap frog us as a #1 and I honestly wouldn't have been made about it. We lost to a team that was gonna miss the tourney while they beat #1 overall by damn near 30.
  20. If we end up facing Arizona and Hubert doesn't have Trimble in Love's hip pocket all game long and we lost because he drops 40 I'm gonna stroke out.
  21. It was GUARANTEED we were getting paired with Arizona. The selection committee LOVES those potential storylines. Yep, they're already talking about it. LOL The media had the ACC wildly underrated. ESPN only has four teams projected in.
  22. This is true. They'd be losers too. Just not as big of losers as us.
  23. The ACC program I kinda miss being relevant is Wake. Those were some great games.
