I really liked XL.  But I'm not expecting much from him this year given he is paired with Bryce.  I just think for XL to shine with his talents.....he needs a downfield gambler.  I think Brooks will slowly be brought along and we don't see his debut until in season.     That's our top 3 rounds...and really where you would be looking for rookie impact.  Rest should more than likely be developmental and have minimal impact. 

So I expect fans to get down on our draft picks early. 

I think the G play could get praise but C being such a wildcard (as well as Canales' run game) has that as not the lock I think some have it has.  Plus, I think Bryce simply can make the OL look bad given his size the problem he has in so many traditional settings/placement in the pocket. 

I don't know what to think of XL. He is very much in the mold of our two current bust WR's, TMJ and Mingo. Until we get a project guy like that to pan out, I am not gonna really expect much.

This is a throwaway season for Brooks due to the injury. That's really a 2025 determination in my mind. Doesn't really matter to me anyway. RB's are a dime a dozen.

As for the "project" guys. Wake me when one of those pans out. It's probably been more than a decade since that happened here.

The free agents mught fare better. If that's the case, then at least we only need to worry about cleaning up the draft evaluation. 

I don't expect our drafts to get better for many more years. That is going to take a concerted front office overhaul and by a competent architect. I don't really anticipate that. I'll likely see it in my lifetime but it won't happen in Tepper's lifetime.

The offense was bad all together and that was not just on Bryce. This isn’t Bryce specific but the nfl gives up on QBs too easily, you can point to Tua and Goff as examples. 

The adverse to this list is quite longer.  QBs in this league typically get a long long leash to show if you can play or not

As some did last year, people seem to forget injuries. The OL fell apart with a lot of injuries. We do not have any depth and injuries happen. 7 wins feels like a pipe dream where all the question marks get answered.

With our talent level and not getting way luckier than average, I’d say 4-5 wins.

 I'm expecting him to get more work at kick returner with those new rules than actual targets in the passing game.

I admire some of the optimism, but I'm going with 2-4 wins.  Anything beyond that is overachieving for next season.  It's really a recovery year for us.  Maybe we can get lucky and have a few things work out along the way.

I think 4 with some luck. I don't see us putting upwards of 25-30 points consistently so it's gonna take some winning of turnover battles to squeak out some wins

Mingo comes in with a higher ceiling IMO than the other 2.  Hard to disagree we have lacked diversity as they are all fairly similar in style.  Gotta just hope the law of averages eventually applies and hit on one.  Would be nice to hit on the one with the highest ceiling.

Fair but I also think Mingo has by far the lowest floor.

I like the addtions on defense and believe our defense is going to keep us in many games.  If the offense  can put us in the 20-24 point range we might just have an above .500 season.

No one gave Houston a shot at making the playoffs this time last season.  Why can we duplicate what Houston did in 2023.  

9-8 and in the wild card hunt.

Gotta love optimism.

      Texas A&M Nic Scourton vs. Purdue Nic Scourton

      By *FreeFua* · Posted

      I’m honestly not trying to argue with you or talk bad about Scourton, I like him and I’ve watched all of his Purdue stuff/videos you linked previously. Just like I’ve watched all of Princely’s Florida stuff I’m only pointing out the weight thing because I’m excited about the idea of him being 255-260 and being more of a stand up edge here in Carolina like he was at Purdue versus at A&M And like you, I have a crap load of experience doing the whole cutting/weight/fitness thing and I know how crappy/sluggish I feel when I’m holding as little as an extra 8-10lbs of unnecessary weight. So for Scourton to come out and say he’s 255-260 now and feels good that’s exciting based on what he’s put on film at 280 and not feeling his best

      2024 College Football Thread

      I hate seeing this. I'm not sure he was ever going to make it in the NFL without the injury but that injury knocked FSU out of the college football playoffs and cost him and them and opportunity on the biggest stage in college sports. The injuries are the worst part of this game. They've created a nearly unending list of "what ifs". Hell, every HS, college, and pro team out there has a long list of them. It's also a good reminder that there's no such thing as a routine major injury. Even though sports medicine has improved dramatically in recent decades, major injuries are still somewhat of a coin flip on how a guy is going to emerge from it.

      I don't know what Texas A&M was doing with their edge rushers. They had two freaks in Scourton and Shemar Stewart and yet instead of turning them loose they asked them to play 20 lbs overweight and just set the edge. That's full-on coaching malpractice at any level. Much was made about Shemar Stewart's lack of sack production, but while he wasn't my favorite prospect this year a lot of that was clearly what they were asking him to do. The good news with Scourton is that, unlike Stewart, did manage to be a huge factor as a pass rusher despite this and despite playing 20 lbs overweight. If he can stay around 260-265 it should help him re-gain some of that explosiveness from his Purdue days.
