We sure this guy’s “generational”?

Wow. I honestly didn't realize it was that bad.

That's what I was telling a buddy earlier this morning. Like I get it. He has a ton of talent and a highlight reel second to none. But the Pac-12 just does not play defense. He rarely faces a real defense.

I would love to see who those top 25 teams were that he played. But when it comes to the draft it won't really matter too much. He was always going to be under a crazy microscope because he balled out for two years. But by hitching your wagon to go with Lincoln Riley you are forced to play in shootouts every single week because he simply does not give a hoot about defense. And this is probably the least talented team he has been on. 

Stroud couldn't beat Michigan. Manning couldn't beat Florida. Josh Allen couldn't hit a movie target in stride his whole college career. Mahomes had some 5 interception games in college. 

Regardless of what the final stat line reads for Williams, hes the closest thing we have to Mahomes in college but hes significantly further ahead in terms of accuracy and playmaking ability compared to Mahomes in college. So he is going to get drafted high by a team that thinks they can develop him into something similar.. 

I know it sounds stupid but if you are Chicago and you can pair Williams with DJ Moore and Marvin Harrison Jr, Darnell Mooney and Cole Kmet that *looks* like a pretty sick offense for a rookie top end QB to jump into.

Saw that Carl Torbush passed away today.

In my younger years I was a student assistant for a team that Torbush worked for (not UNC) and I wore a UNC hoody into the football operations building one morning on the way to do film review. A few of the coaches told me to take my hoody off but Torbush looked at me and said it was the best thing he’s seen all morning and to keep it on lol.

He was instrumental in getting Peppers to UNC and was otherwise just a great human being.

RIP Coach.

Listen, I'm a UNC fan so I fully comprehend the frustration of scoring a lot of points and watching your D somehow manage to surrender even more, but damnit Caleb Williams you cannot go crawling into the stands to literally go crying to momma. Good grief, man.

He did that? I fell asleep and hadn’t seen anything about the game aside from the score. No wonder Drake is the consensus #1 pick now.

    • So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?
    • Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.
    • Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
