He made Chinn look bad.

When does his HS job start?

He would have beaten UNC NC State and Duke last year if they played. 

Did I say him? No, I said his competition.

NDSU would not have beaten UNC. They barely beat Central Arkansas in Lance's only game. I'll never defend dook or state. fug them. They can lose to NDSU.

Let's take a look at the genius behind the concept of a smokescreen here:

1. Trevor---LOCKED IN

2. Wilson---LOCKED IN  Jets were not trading out unless it was for a team willing to pay for Wilson.

3.  OH, we better do some head bobbing and weaving here---maybe a juke step.  That is like trying to bluff with 4 aces.   If they played Jones to fool people, I hope Jones scalds their asses when they play.

So maybe they wanted teams to invest time into bringing in Lance etc. after they supposedly took Jones.  Who? The Falcons?  The Bengals and Dolphins were set at QB---Philly? Detroit?  Denver? 

I do not understand the strategy.

 

It was fun though

That's not a high mark to hit. The ACC only fielded one P5 caliber program last year and that was Clemson.

Most of the league would have struggled against Coastal Carolina or App St.

 

Edit: Maybe Miami.

Alabama this season was head and shoulders above every other college team. They had a Heisman winning WR when was the last time a WR won Heisman? .. they had on top of that, more first round WR’s .. first round RB .. Jones is Stidham

So he is Stidham because his team was good--as if he had nothing to do with it.  So tell me, what results would a good QB have accomplished?  And if Smith did not win the Heisman, does that make Jones better?  Your argument is confusing.  Seriously--put Lance on this Alabama team and tell me how many yards per game he would have completed in your mind, and what percentage he would have completed.  Then tell me that he would have won the Heisman or caused Smith NOT to win it--which is what you are saying.

Here is your argument:

1. Alabama was "head and shoulders" above every other team in football.   (They were ranked #3 preseason--are you practicing a bit of 20/20 hindsight here?  The reason?  Jones was basically an unknown--limited experience--but they went to #1 and not #10, if that helps. And they became so good, you called them "head and shoulders" better--Jones was the key variable in that.

2. Smith won the Heisman as a WR with an average to poor QB.

3. Bama had 3 first round WRs--only 2 were active most of the season.  How did they accomplish that with a bad QB? 

4. Stidham was drafted in the 4th round, had 24 fewer TDs his senior year, and his completion percentage was 17% lower.  Uncanny similarities.

Facts are your friend.  Details matter.  Nobody is saying that Jones is going to be great, but nobody should be saying that his record numbers and awards means that his team was so good it covered his sucking.  That is ludicrous. 

Remember your opinion are no more than that--and repeating them does not make them facts.  You are not a football expert, and I am not either--which is why I support my arguments with relevant facts.  You don't.

The "better than everyone else" dart could be lobbed at just about everyone but Wilson. Lawrence, Fields, Jones and Lance all had star studded teams.

Gotta give it to 'em, well played.

Honestly not sure what the point was, though. Once they were at #3, they had their pick.

They gave up THREE first round picks for the #3 overall pick.

Why are they bowing up and saying everyone bought their smokescreen now? I think we had a very lucky escape with Adam Peters.

So what you’re saying is that a team ranked in the top 10 isn’t a legitimate contender?

I'm saying those rankings were pretty laughable since most of the conferences played in conference only(or pretty close). 

If you want proof of that, reference the 0-6 ACC bowl record. So, we basically finished the same way that Conference USA did. 0-6.

Frankly, even Clemson was probably a little bit of a paper tiger.

      I truly do not understand why we rushed him back last season, we were a bad team with an already productive back in Chuba. Brooks looked like he was 60% back and clearly hadn’t regained full movement in his knee and confidence, no surprise he got reinjured. Shame on this training staff, look no further then Chuba returning too soon this season, I don’t care how bad a player wants to come back a training staff is there to protect them. Brooks is a great person and was an amazing player prior to both injuries, I hope he’s recovering well.

      Brother thanks for sharing and all. Just for a 21 year army guy you sure over used your brain power on this interaction little too much...  Not that's Im taking a side or nothing, Ive never been a bully fan * in extreme deals bullying in needed..... I've heard from smart people in and around Panthers, Smitty needed Angie for guidance BADLY.  I've honestly thought if Smitty was born 20 years later, he should have taken a MMA path and not only would he have been a champion but a humbled good man with or without Angie helping him. He has never took off the enmoureous chip on his shoulder and it has branched off as a stick in arse over time too. Still everyone can not be or act the same with emotions, we are chemical sacks of water and bones. He reminds me of brain-washed individuals that can not turn off the switch. Plus he is high on thinking he's smarting than he is.......its a dangerous combo, but that's mainly what gave him the edge in life to live out the American dream......soooo I dare say change, but its sad at the same time. All those poor women that get involved with narcissistic disloyal men, one of the few times I agree to take what ever form them in court...

      Completely agreed.  TBH, we have had so many great players that are in my favorite list, and I hate to narrow it down to one, but Cam is it.  Which is crazy, because you would think it would be more of the guys I grew up watching, but no.  Cam was the single most impactful player to ever out on a football uniform imo.  And like I said in an earlier post, I always felt a kinship with him in a lot of ways…  the way he was treated and judged for the off the field stuff in Florida and having to overcome all of that and fight show at back.  And although I am not a black man, I have always been welcomed by and accepted more by minorities, and thus, I know what it’s like to be judged by appearances rather than the content of your character and who you actually are.  I know what it’s like to be stereotyped and written off or mistreated for your mistakes.  I know what it’s like to be held to a different standard while your peers don’t have to meet that same standard.  So I always related to that.  And the way he came in and just electrified the whole franchise, man…  I still think about it often how much it sucks that because of how talented he was, our staff out so much on him and that ultimately cut his career short.  You’re right, there will never be another Cam…  I think Josh Allen is the closest thing we will see for a long time, but Allen is not the running threat Cam was.  Cam could run you over or around you.  That was THE absolute funnest time to watch our team ever.
