Yep. I haven't paid enough attention, but maybe Smart prefers upperclassmen.

I wonder if NIL money backfires in these types of situations? I mean, Beck was being hyped as a potential #1 overall pick so I'm sure lots of money poured in. Kinda like how NFL teams give guys with big contracts a lot longer leash.

That's a good point and one I hadn't considered. If something like that has happened and was ordered by the AD and money men, I'd be pissed if I was the coach.

It literally just dawned on me. Like seriously, why the fug hasn't this guy been benched yet? Oh, because a bunch of money is probably invested in him and he has a lot of outside marketing deals who want to see him playing even if the team is having to carry him

The Panthers might be able to fill a stadium like Georgia has if the bank hosts a big bowl game.

They need to drop all the old conference affiliations now that a lot of the old conferences are defunct anyway. Make matchups that make sense from a geographical perspective. Don't have mediocre teams facing off on the other side of the country. You're going to have a ton of empty seats.

    • That was always the fear, expectation, concern, etc, I had.  Someone showed a still shot from his pick last game and said it showed that the defender closed 3 yards on that ball in the last portion of its flight. I forget the number. 10 yards I think it said but that sounds extreme.  When guys are open by a step, any slowing down to wait for the ball lets the defender back into the play. That sort of stuff makes the margins so small… these NFL CBs are not slow.   It is a league that highly values foot speed; the 40 times and drill times are scrutinized down to the hundredth of a second when evaluating these players on both sides of the passing game. Receivers and defenders both.   My thing with his arm strength (or anyone’s) was always “why do you want to do that? Plus pay extra picks to put yourself in that situation?”. Asking for trouble.     I wish there was a way to measure velocity on the back half of a throw compared to when it left the hand. Or really get accurate reading of the flight time of a ball from the near hash to the sideline, 10 yards down the field. Because teams could use that info. I have always seen this as being a disadvantage with Bryce but it is beyond my ability to quantify it.   I think it would show what that arm strength is really about, a lot more than just measuring how much air can you put under it so it will fly as far as possible.   
    • Who didn't see that coming.... 
    • Its a detriment if he can't play...as we are seeing.
