Time for the speculation, the theories and the guessing to be set aside.

Now, we see some real football.

No, every question won't be answered today, but at least we'll have some real results to judge by.

I'm ready.

We'll have our starting point.  Whether good or bad.  I think we'll start with a lot of positives.

IMO, the only question that will be answered today is if we will start the season with a win.  Any other more significant questions won't be answered for a while.  

I want to see a more composed Sam Darnold that plays within the system Brady brought with him.

That and a step up in the defence from last year - they have more tools to work with this.

There are going to be people who will think they know all there is to know based on today's game.

These people...are not very smart.

Football seasons are marathons where numerous things happen, things go right, things go wrong, and it hardly ever looks the same by season's end.

You can hope that most people exercise their wisdom and patience, but you can also pretty much guarantee that a lot of people won't.

So do I, but if it happens (a big if), it might take a while to show some results.  I think the defense (assuming it stays healthy) could look much better in Nov than it does early in the season.

      I have more faith in XL improving than I do in Tmac being a true number 1 recuever

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies
