Clean record, never any off the field issues.  A major college football player cheated on a test, which he admitted to, and this is "character issues" and people worrying about him in the locker room? 

You said literally everyone cheats in college.  I know I didnt.  I know I was raised better than that and I know my dad would have planted his foot dead in my ass if I got expelled for cheating. 

I dont think this matters one way or the other for robinson just taking umbrage at your cheating comment

Now we desperately need to sign another CB so fuging Donte Jackson is not starting.

Donte Jackson can ball. The system we had for our secondary and entire defense was so stupid. Nobody looked good in it. Rhule will get Jackson back to playing like he was his rookie year. If not better. Not understanding the hate for him

Would’ve loved a guard or center at this pick . This screams a hurney pick . Curtis Weaver was still on the board .

Definitely not a Hurney pick. Just watched NFLN do a piece on him said Rhule was familiar with him since Baylor played him and some of our coaches (no idea which ones) were familiar with him in the XFL. Not sure I got the XFL connection right, but just like Rhule recruiting Gross-Matos, Rhule would be very familiar with him from Baylor.

I could not give a rip about "academic fraud." The entire NCAA is based on academic fraud. Plus, it's not like he can be a repeat offender at the pro level...unless he pays someone else to read his play book for him.

Read his letter to GM’s in the NFL.  

situation was sad....not really a character issue  

I don’t care about it either, just saying that under JR we never would’ve touched this kid. I think it’s a good thing we care about winning and football not PR and things that don’t matter.

Nice attempt at throwing us off the scent by leaving a few grammar inaccuracies in there, but it's obvious he payed someone else to write this.

I kid because I love. XXOO ; )

Exactly.  The 2nd Half of last year was such a disaster I don't think it's fair to make sweeping judgments.  Donte definitely made some mistakes and his confidence seemed to take a hit, but he still has starting CB talent.

I think Rhule is going to give all these guys a clean slate and make them work for everything.  

I still hope we resign Cockrell tomorrow.  We've gone a long way toward fixing the defense in the draft, but it's going to take more than 1 draft to fix this mess.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
