I like this little KSU RB. Like wish.com Maurice Jones-Drew 

I mean he's light as a feather at 176? He isn't a bowling ball like drew. Now kstate can  absolutely run the ball and he has good patience and vision. Idk if he's an NFL guy though.

Honestly, by and large college games have been a lot more entertaining than the NFL this year and I'm not just saying that because the Heels have been pretty good and the Panthers have sucked per usual. There's just been a lot of bad football played in the NFL this season.

 

 

I’ll be completely transparent in saying that I’ve never actually given college football much of a chance to grow on me. Even as a UNC student ~15 years ago I only went to a few college games already trashed and not actually paying much attention to it. But I just feel like there are so many goofy Madden-esque stats being put up routinely by college offenses, like running backs getting 200+ yards with 10 ypc and QBs putting up 400 yards and 6 TDs. I can see how that’s entertaining and even the NFL seems to be wanting to trend in that direction which is why they’re continuously making it harder for defenses with the changes to some of the rules and becoming more and more trigger-happy with defensive penalties like roughing the passer and pass interference. I dunno, just seems more flash than substance for me with these college games.

At the end of the day, college football feels to me in many ways like the JV to the NFL’s varsity, and I just ain’t getting all that excited about JV football. But to each their own…I think finding passion in anything in life is almost always objectively a good thing unless it’s doing harm somehow.

College football is absolutely JV. In a lot of ways it is much closer to middle school football than even JV in comparison to the NFL.

College football is fine but it's an inherently and WILDLY unfair system without any shred of parity at all. It's the equivalent of a league with unlimited money to spend and no salary cap. It's very easy to cover up some incompetence and mismanagement by just out talenting the team in front of you.

The NFL inherently does have parity. The way that typically gets fuged up is incompetence and mismanagement. You can't outspend your issues or take advantage of the decades long systems of advantages built in.

      The Bryce Trade is Finally Complete. Who Won the Trade? Panthers vs Bears

      By ImfromClayton · Posted

      We won't know the answer to this for a long time. Reality is, Caleb has been the consensus #1 in that draft for years. Bryce was a similar situation, but mostly the same. He was not the clear and obvious #1 that Caleb was, but most teams had Bryce at QB1. The Panthers were always going to be terrible Bryce's rookie year.  I don't think DJ Moore's presence would have changed anything about that offense, as our guards, center, and left tackle were getting demolished on nearly every snap. It's clear Caleb's dad was trying to do everything possible to ensure Caleb didn't end up in Chicago with Eberflus. It's hard to imagine that he wouldn't have done the same, but probably more publicly with our situation, considering Carolina is an easier target for the media than Chicago. We can all speculate, but it's impossible to tell who is going to have the better career on May 16, 2025. If either QB doesn't pan out, we have an easy answer. If both flame out, the bears clearly won the trade, but it wouldn't have really mattered anyway. We all know how we win the trade. Candidly, even if one of the other picks we gave up ends up being a hall of fame player, we don't know if the panthers would have taken that player anyway. All you can do is make the best decision you can in the moment with the information you have. I really like Bryce Young, and I'm glad he's a Carolina Panther.  The only way to win in the modern NFL is to have an absolute dude at QB. I personally am happy that our franchise recognizes this, as I remember times when they did not.
