I completely agree…but I was hearing late firsts or seconds for him.  Naw.  It really doesn’t bother me paying him.  He is our best player by far right now.

These guys can’t draft either.  Keep him

Late firsts? That was only from the people trying to act like it wasn’t enough. The Rams current pick is 7. Had we decided to rebuild (could have had pick 15 in this past draft for Moore) and wait on a QB until we had some talent there we’d have Corral leading us to pick 1 and pick 7 for Burns. That 2023 2nd we had in our hands for Burns could have been a solid TE at 36 or a small trade up. The 2025 Rams pick is also likely a top 10 pick IMHO. Adding in the $30M a year in cap space for FAs and we could have been set to actually plug in a QB.

Also, pick 7 in a mock on Tankathon is in the middle of 3 OTs, 3 edge rushers and Brock Bowers. Pick 7 could have been a legit LT to move Iky or a Burns replacement. Oh well, I guess it’s better to be 1-8 with little hope than a much more talented team with a bright future.

It didn't make any sense. But the really dumb part of it was blowing a timeout for it. When the play clock was running down, just take your delay and kick the XP. Don't double down on doing dumb stuff.

As a Clemson fan due to my son, I was laughing. My youngest and I watched the game and it made no sense at all. The only benefit was that if Clemson scored a TD you are technically two 8 point TDs away from tying. The problem is that if Clemson scored another TD the game’s over because Clemson would take a ton of time off the clock to score a TD. The timeout was just even more idiotic because then you couldn’t stop Clemson on 3 and out without losing a bunch of time.

I feel like I’ve seen that going for two way too early a bunch lately and almost every time it didn’t work and it just put the team behind more.

If that ends up being Caleb’s last college game, he’ll still go top-5 overall if he declares, but that caps off such a disappointing season for the guy. 

He’s got damn good skills but man, what a dud this year was for that whole program. His attitude blows too, very entitled guy who can easily get framed as a “villain”

Here comes the first showdown between Coach Prime and Colorado.

There is NO WAY Colorado is going to quietly go along with this given Sapp's complicated legal/employment background of sexual harassment, assault, domestic violence, soliciting prostitutes, etc. That's gonna be a very tough sell in Boulder.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
