Possible and honestly, what better pitch to four and five star recruits (and maybe even more so to portal kids) whose ultimate goal is to play on Sundays? A lot of those kids just see the college game as a necessary pit stop on their way to the actual destination.

True, but what I got out of the clip of the interview was Bill wanted to be seen like a Bama, but not just sending blue chip guys to the League, but damn near finished products.

How that mentality is going to go over with Gen Z kids will remain to be seen. I can't see Bill patting guys on the back and hugging it out after their feelings have been hurt.  I have sneaking suspicion he's going to Bobby Knight himself sooner rather than later.

13-11 with no wins over ranked teams would be a step back from Mack is what I'm saying.

Wait until y'all don't have Ward next year. Hope your defense isn't still UNC level or you'll be .500

 

His record pre and post Brady is startling. I don't think he's a good hire, especially at 72.

Belichick and Deion couldn't be more opposite. One is no nonsense life is ball, the other is all flash and bravado. I don't know if this is going to work out or not but if we can get the players I have no concerns about the coaching.

They’re are definitely different, personality wise. But they both bring star power to the recruitment table. But BB has the advantage in the coaching area. Albeit not with teens.

I just honestly have no clue how Belichick will translate to recruiting. I can see that situation playing out either way. Everything about this hire is boom or bust IMO. We're about to become a powerhouse or a clown show. Can't really see much room for gray area in between. This is either really gonna work or really spectacularly flop.

I think the argument exists that it’s essentially Steve Belichick that is the real hire and his dad is gong to use his brand/face to help get the ball rolling and do basic install of what the program should be.   Then moving out of his way.  

and all the pipeline to the NFL balderdash is just that.  There already are tons of pipelines to the NFL and you don’t have to deal with BB’s nonsense to get there.

You don't see any path for this to work out? You seem a bit shook. LOL

Well, I think if we had the hypothetical discussion on Bill coming to college a month ago….we would be basically Brady and Gronk laughing at it together.  

I mean there is a path for it to work.  A path for Dabo to win his 3rd natty I guess too.   I don’t think they are high % plays. 

I think we will know fairly quick if BB’s brand means that much in college football.  Have to see who leaves and jumps in the portal for him.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Nobody is giving up a 4th rounder for a backup QB And anyone who needs a starter badly enough to where Bryce would then be their starter, is such a bad team that they're not giving up a pick likely to be about pick 105ish overall, instead of just dealing with a bad QB situation for a season and then drafting one in a loaded QB draft next year. I'm looking through all the teams right now and can't think of a single one that would be willing to part with anything better than a 6th rounder. Barring injuries (and excluding the Panthers), there look to be 10 teams who don't know with 100% certainty who their starting QB will be in 2027... Dolphins, Jets, Browns, Steelers, Vikings, Colts, Saints, Falcons, Cardinals, and Rams. Of those 10...  The Rams know it will be Stafford or Simpson.  The Saints more than likely will be sticking with Shough unless he takes a huge step backwards.  So neither are giving up any draft picks for Bryce right now, just wouldn't make sense for either. Down to 8 Given their current QB situation of having multiple QBs they already need to evaluate between this year, the Browns (Shedeur/Watson), Vikings (Kyler/JJ), Colts (Jones/Richardson/Leonard), and Falcons (Penix/Tua), wouldn't be giving up a 4th (or maybe any pick) to bring in another QB to muddy the waters even more. Down to 4 Dolphins just signed Willis and wouldn't want to bring in another small Alabama QB who has struggled after just dumping Tua instead of just rolling with Ewers as the backup.   That then leaves the Steelers, Cardinals, and Jets left as it's clear none of them have any idea who their 2027 could be as of right now.  But the Steelers would for sure rather just see what one of the 2 QB's they drafted in the last 2 drafts could become than give up a mid round pick for Bryce.  Same goes for the Cardinals in taking Beck this past weekend. The Jets would be the most likely team to even consider taking him on, but I think it seems very apparent right now given them rolling with Geno and now talk of bringing in Wilson to be his backup, they're punting on QB this year to draft someone next year, so why give up even a mid round pick for Bryce?

      Where panthers draft ranked against Big Boards in 2023

      By strato · Posted

      Honestly I am not sure Pickett couldn’t step in for him. But I don’t see a clear easy upgrade and we are not KC with Alex Smith we are a team that hadn’t done poo for almost ten years and just made the playoffs. And looked good in the game. That stadium atmosphere on that day…. you know Tepper ate that poo up. Not one drink has been thrown in a while.  You had better make sure if you replaced him after that that you had a sure fire upgrade.

      Makes sense. If Bryce is ass this year, we are probably drafting our new QB next draft and sitting him behind Bryce for a year
