He's a helluva talent but I'm not so sure he hasn't just kinda checked out on football for the Instagram life since getting that big ass contract. If he doesn't want to risk injury playing for a shitty team, honestly I get it but just man up and demand a trade already if that's the case.

I've looked at the schedule. 5.5 is the perfect line because I think we likely win 5 or 6 games.

Pretty awesome overall. Oh... you meant about the Panthers? Oh wee mayne.

If he can throw with both hands on the move, yeah that would be a definite advantage.

Please make this idiocy stop. Just fuging stop it with the vet castoffs. It hasn't worked. It's highly unlikely to work. We really have to stop throwing premium resources and no -premium veteran QBs. Stop it.

Texas will probably blow A&M's doors off (again) once they're in the $EC. They're still at the top despite being pretty mediocre for the past decade.

How is A&M the richest school?

You're on a roll. Now you've nailed an all-time ironic post. Back to back Hall of Infamy caliber posts!

Not sure if you were shooting for the most tone-deaf post in Huddle history, but if you didn't hit the moon you certainly landed ong the stars.

Yep. It was badly needed. Now it badly needs some parameters and oversight. I honestly think that's why the NCAA fought it for so long and why when they were finally forced to open the flood gates they just threw them open 100%. They don't want to actually work. They want this to be a full on poo show so that they can say, "See! We told you so!"

It's going to be really messy in college sports while this whole NIL process is getting ironed out. It was way past time for something like this to happen but it's gonna be the wild west for awhile.

You don't have to be a fan of Minshew to understand that he's better than Sam Darnold. He's a stop gap/good backup type of player. That's a lot better than Sam Darnold who is a poo tier NFL QB.

I honestly didn't even notice Teddy's name on the list. Yes, Teddy is better than Darnold. By a decent margin. Teddy would actually be an ideal backup. He's not going to go out there and lose the game for you. He's definitely not gonna win it either, but he's the perfect kinda "hold the fort down" backup. Your team is going to be what your team is with Teddy. Bad roster, bad team. Good roster, good team. He's just the perfect vanilla QB. Him being your starter at QB adds more subtracts any expected wins from baseline. If you sucked before Teddy, you still suck. If you were good before Teddy, you're still good (unless your previous QB was carrying you).

No way Darnold should be ahead of Taylor, Minshew, or Mills. I wasn't big at all on Pickett as a prospect but he hasn't proven he sucks in the NFL and Darnold has so hell I'd have him over Darnold too.

Damn. Ademola Okulaja passes away yesterday at 46. Not sure of the cause but he did have a cancerous tumor removed from his spine in '08 that ended his European pro basketball career. RIP.

I hate it for the guy but there's no ignoring that he was really awful before the injury. I hate he had to go through ACL rehab because it sucks, but it may have bought him a few more NFL paychecks than he would've otherwise gotten. Just the harsh reality of the NFL.

Yes. Moose looked like a legit elite WR.

When people try to put Smitty on a pedestal by low key insinuating Jake was trash, they tend to overlook the reality that Jake's best statistical season was the year when Smitty broke his leg in week one and missed the whole season.

This is Matt Rhule we're talking about here. I wouldn't be so sure.

Sigh...

I don't recall anyone really having Adams as a 1st round prospect. Seems like most had him as a good prospect but pigeon holed into a possession type guy who would never evolve into an elite or game breaking type WR. A solid starter type.

That's what got us in trouble with evaluating Sam Darnold. He's a very good thrower of the football. Unfortunately, there's a LOT more to playing QB in the NFL than simply throwing a football.

It's an undoubted business model that's doomed to failure. Not my fault.

Agreed. By all accounts he looked like the best player on the field during the joint practices when he tore his ACL. Then his mom passed and it just all spiraled from there. The combo of the too was just too much for him to overcome and yeah, it would be a lot. I'd be a lot more sympathetic toward him if he hadn't tried to throw anyone and everyone under the bus in an effort to blame everyone but himself.

A handful of delusionally optimistic fans doesn't mean much. Honestly, if we field a defense in the top half of the league I'll consider it a decent performance. If we flirt with the top 10 I'll be very pleased with the D. Anything more would obviously be welcomed but would be wildly outperforming reasonable expectations IMO. As for the offense... hell, anything that isn't isn't bottom 10 in the league has to be considered decent considering last year. Approaching average would be wildly outperforming reasonable expectations IMO.
