I was joking with a friend that I wish we had Drake for one more year.

Based on our D looking at least serviceable against Minnesota I agree. I just wish we could've put one decent defense opposite of Howell or Maye. We had two really damn good QBs back to back and squandered them because we had all-time bad defenses. That's always been the story of UNC football. We've had elite offenses and we've had elite defenses but outside of the Curry/Peppers era, we've always paired elite units with atrocious units on the other side of the ball.

Top end speed and quickness is literally what you want in a elite WR. He can also catch the ball. Look at the 2 spectacular catches he had just last game. Yes I'm including the 1 hand catch he made out of bounds. The dude is just phenomenal.

 

You don't think if he just played WR he wouldn't have some of the best WR stats in the country?

 

I'm sorry if you felt disrespected. I'm just high on Hunter and I don't see any other skill player going before him.

 

I'm still confident he will be drafted before your guy. Just have that cash app account ready come draft night.

I'll take T-Mac's hands and catch radius advantage over Hunter's quickness and top end speed any day of the week, as it's not like T-Mac is bad in those areas, Hunter is just a bit better as he's not as big of a WR, it makes sense.

And sure, he would have better stats if he only played offense, but that doesn't make him a better draft prospect.

In the same vain, you could say T-Mac would have had better stats last year too if he didn't have a teammate who also had 90 catches for 850 yards and 13 TDs last year (Jacob Cowing now of the 49ers).  Or hell, maybe even if he didn't have to play with a bum at QB the first month of the season before we made the change to Fifita who then ended up as the National Freshman of the Year (and before you say it, no, the QB isn't making T-Mac who he is, if anything it's the other way around).

Wednesday too, CUSA decided to play Wednesday conference games to get the conference on national TV.

Gotta maximize those TV contracts. Kickoff week, the playoffs, and maybe rivalry week is it though. Looks like most everything else is on Saturdays with a few games on Thursday and Friday nights.

We're absolutely contenders for it, but have a questionable defense so who knows.

But T-Mac is a legitimate stud, will be a Top 10 pick in the draft and the only WR who might get drafted ahead of him is Burden, not Hunter.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.

      Moton Meets the Press

      By Pejorative Miscreant · Posted

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      I think people aren’t patient enough with Young. It can take a few years for a QB to develop. Look at Darnold, Baker and most recently Daniel Jones.   he hasn’t been able to put up big passing numbers either cause of how much we run the ball. You can tell our coaching staff still hasn’t took the training wheels off Bryce and let him go all out. We’ve had some pretty bad receivers as well. We finally got a true number one last year and look how much Bryce improved. Still we didn’t really have any depth behind TMac. Coker was hurt for a lot of the year and XL was our #2. How many big plays or TDs has XL dropped? I think this year can be the year we see Bryce able to hit his stride. If not then we can start looking for another qb but I just ask people to be patient.
