I mean I don't really want him but if we can't get Harbaugh or Carroll then I guess BB is our best chance. At least he brings some credibility to the franchise.

He has already mentioned he would be willing to give up GM duties.  He will have input obviously but not necessarily full roster control 

I mean if he can’t keep Tepper out of the decision making process nobody can

The more I learn about DeBoer, the more I like it. He’s been successful everywhere he’s coached. If he can recruit the Southeast and deal with the stress of following Saban, he will do well at Bama, I think. 

Hopefully, he keeps finding success and doesn't end up being ousted quickly because he's not Saban like a lot of guys that follow legends.

Apparently there is a 26 year old TE still playing college football.

 

At what point is it safe for kids to be playing against grown men?
 

NCAA needs to change that rule. There should be a age limit for college football. You can't play after 24. Cmon man go on with your next career. Football is not it.

The Miami dude? Bro won a challenge to get a ninth year of NCAA eligibility. A NINTH year? WTF??? This guy should have all the degrees by now.

Yeah I seen it on Sports Center just forgot the school. That's crazy. Even with the rule, a 26 year old grown man shouldn't be allowed to play sports vs kids. 

 

Age limit is all I ask for. 24 should be the max.

Lol at an age limit, our own Chris Weinke played at 28 for FSU. 

If you've played a professional sport you should definitely be ineligible. Weinke was so old in college because he'd been trying to make it as a professional baseball player first. He played five or six years of minor league baseball.

Oh I knew that. Heck byu is an interesting one too with some taking mission years before school. 

 

Did they close that loop hole that professional in a previous sport means you can't play another as an amateur?

I honestly don't know. But yeah it's wild to me that you could ever spend several years as a professional athlete then go back to college and compete against kids. That poo ain't right.

I remember 15ish years ago there was a dude pushing 30 playing in the NCAA basketball tourney for a mid-major. Dude was built like an NFL DE and just mauling kids. Like... wait a minute... da fuq is this poo???

      Panthers attempted to trade up with Ravens?

      By ForJimmy · Posted

      Miller being less raw and more pro ready makes sense of why they picked him. With us having a capable starter in Walker the lower floor higher ceiling player makes sense for us as well. I agree with that.

      I'm from Michigan and have had this discussion with my Lions friends, and they all agree with me, they were never going to take Freeling over Miller.  As, yes, you are correct, they could have left Sewell at RT and taken Freeling, but they are in a SB contention window right now. An OL with Freeling at LT and Sewell at RT is not as strong as Sewell at LT and Miller at RT would be for this upcoming season and likely at least next year as well. 5 years it could be looked back upon as a long term "mistake" to take Miller over Freeling, but for a franchise like the Lions, you can't worry about the long term when you have current SB aspirations.  It's all about maximizing their current SB window over the next 1-3 years. And it's not about style, it's about day 1 readiness, and a lot of "experts" aren't even sure if Freeling is ready to play Week 1 yet at the position he's used to, let alone switching to a side he hasn't played before, but a career starting RT is going to be more than ready to fill that role for them Week 1. I'm 100% convinced that if our draft positioning was swapped, we'd have still taken Freeling, they'd have still taken Miller, and both teams would have got the OT that they preferred due to what each team needs right now and what their current realistic aspirations are for the 2026 season. We're in a position where we can let our drafted OT sit and learn for a bit, they needed a week 1 starter, for me that's where this discussion becomes very easy to understand why each team took the player they did.
