He got benched in the championship game. He was still good, Tua was just the better college QB. Hurts wasn’t going to get drafted as high as he did until Riley had him looking like a better passer at Oklahoma.

He wasn't good at Bama. It was Tua that got Saban to finally break out of his old school three yards and a loud of dust offense and join the modern offensive game.

Maybe I’m remembering it wrong then. I thought he was still a good college QB, they just ran him more.

Wrong! Hurts was very good at Bama but Tua was better. Hurts was getting offers to start for other top programs so should he had stayed to backup Tua. What would you do? 

And what goes around comes around as Hurts had 2 clutched TD while under pressure to come from behind to beat the mighty Georgia Bulldogs, so don't ever say he wasn't good at Bama. Saban loved him and didn't want him to leave. And Hurts was in that draft class where 3 QB went in the top 6 where no other team needed another starting QB otherwise Hurts would have easily been drafted in the 1st round as well. Teams just don't draft QB that high if they don't need one.

And Sanders who played for both Hurts and now for Bryce said they have so many similarities like leadership and work ethics where they were the first to come in and last to leave among teammates unlike Buckeyes QBs like Fields and CJ who were the last to show up and the first to leave, so hows that for leadership? Yet it seems like most everyone wants CJ now after week 2 LMAO.

He was very good but most NFL teams want great physical attributes with big cannon arms as franchise QB which is why Brady and Montana were drafted so low yet both has notable intangibles while at Michigan and Notre Dame to games from behind under pressure. I do remember one game where CJ was under pressure which rarely happens since OSU was so good and he choked big time. Still I hope CJ will succeed in the NFL and not end up like Sam D with his big arm.

He is off to a good start.

Yes that's what having a big arm can do and hope it will continue cause it would be great having a Buckeyes QB to finally break the failure rate once they turn pro. However, i would still take Bryce even if he stunk it up tonight cause I followed enough college games to know Bryce will be a winner in this league. Maybe not for the Panthers who tend to dump them due to their impatience. So was it Baker's fault he struggled for us yet he playing great now for the Bucs?  We tend to go thru QB like swiss cheese while losing most of our draft capitol in the process needed to rebuild this team.

Meanwhile in DC...

Mind you, this is from a not-so-reliable Twitter account, but it brings to mind a potential scenario.DC

If the Commanders new owner were to fire Ron Rivera midseason (or even after) would Eric Bieniemy be promoted in his place?

Might Ron have unwittingly hired his own replacement?

The Commanders are doing some very un-Rivera things in short clock situations. Both games they've gotten the ball deep in their own territory right before half and been very aggressive. Classic Ron hands the ball off and jogs to the locker room in those situations. But, you couldn't beat the smile off Ron's face after the game yesterday with a baseball bat so whatever is going on he seems very okay with it.

They better get rid of Ron because Bieniemy will get a HC job somewhere if this continues.

      Round 1: The Carolina Panthers select OT Monroe Freeling (Georgia)

      By Jay Roosevelt · Posted

      I wonder if they'd consider trading Rasheed Walker to a team that needs tackle help but missed out in the draft?

      Round 1: The Carolina Panthers select OT Monroe Freeling (Georgia)

      By rebelrouser · Posted

      LOL. This is such a Panthers fan take.  Anyone who falls to us must suck because some other team didn't take them before.  We got lucky with Lemon, Thieneman, and Freeling all falling to us (honestly any of the three is a A+) but the WR and S positions are much deeper than the LT position in this draft.  We got the LT w/ the most upside at 19.  Mauigoa played RT in college and some think he is a guard in the nfl.  Spano played RT in college and some think he is a guard in the NFL due to short arms.  Blake Miller played RT in college and is not as good as Freeling.  Proctor is a true LT but his ability to handle quick edge's worries me (see Icky).  Freeling is a true LT and a gifted pass protector.  Many think he has a very high ceiling and will benefit from not having to start right away.  This is how you build a franchise.

      Round 1: The Carolina Panthers select OT Monroe Freeling (Georgia)

      After watching Cam get killed for years behind a bad Oline and having to watch the 2021 and 2023 Olines I will never complain about this team putting resources into that spot.  We got a true LT who could really push Rasheed Walker for the day 1 job. Go back and watch Iceky's draft profile from 2022 and all the talk was Ickey would be an all-pro guard in a zone blocking scheme, but he could play LT in a gap power run scheme. That's why Ickey looked really good when Wilks took over and we just started running gap run plays and just mauled people up front but under Canales we've been more of a zone running team. Ickey can survive at LT with his pass blocking but his true strength will always be his ability to just move guys in the run game and that's a skill set that's better used at guard.  Take another OT later on day 3 to learn from Moton to take over RT in a couple of years and let Walker and Freeling battle it out for the day 1 LT job then next offseason trade one of Hunt of Lewis and let Ickey move inside to guard.
