They built their entire OL out of the portal this year. 

UNC landed the #1 ranked OT last year and he was a non-factor as a freshman despite UNC having a fairly run of the mill OL. That's the norm for lineman recruits. They almost always need at least one year of college level S&C not to mention simply another year of physical maturation from age. You aren't getting your quick fixes in the trenches from kids coming straight out of HS.

They will get experienced OL in the transfer portal. That OL was the worst in the country. They can only improve from here. Still way too early to judge their offseason, but this is a good start.

I honestly have no idea how baseball survives as a spectator sport. Baseball is the only sport that I even found boring to play growing up. 

I love it. Similar to watching golf. It's supposed to be relaxing, not exciting (until the Playoffs). It survives because it's still popular, played by amazing athletes, with great fans, and great tradition. Take the family to the outdoors ballpark. Eat a dog, drink a beer, sit back and enjoy life. You want to talk meaningless ... that's the NBA regular season.

It doesn’t. Attendance is at like 50%(averaged) for most teams. It’s actually a huge problem for the sport and the commissioner is losing his poo over it.

LMAO

 

Man getting blazed in the hot sun eating glizzy dogs and stuffing your mouth with salty nuts. That's your idea of fun?

 

It's no different then watching a NFL game except baseball is way less entertaining. The crowds are always dead because there is nothing happening unless someone hits a HR.

Baseball is near the very bottom when it comes to being popular. Sure the diehards love it, but the sport itself is not growing.

I'd argue, but this is a football board. Pointless. On a baseball board I'd have backers.

It’s more than the first day of NHL free agency by a long shot. 700-483(or what ever the precise number is). The dude is getting .7 billion to throw a few balls. 

What's even crazier is MLB revenue isn't anywhere close to that discrepancy from the NHL 10.1B revenue to 7.5b

    • 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
