OMG Colorado getting blown out!

 

Oh noez what a bunch of frauds! Prime could never coach. Sanders is a bust!

 

Grown adults these are the comments I have seen in this thread. Hilarious stuff.

 

Keep em coming guys!

If they aren’t trying or giving it their all like you are claiming then they should have sat out this game. There are players on the roster that want to show NFL scouts they have what it takes. BYU just looks like the better team which happens a lot in these matchups…

Hunter's change of direction ability is absurd. He probably won't because there's nothing to gain but I'd love to see his shuttle and three come times.

The shuttle is becoming the new 40.

Everyone wants to see it because it really separates those high twitch athletes from the “just fast” athletes.

Ladd’s shuttle is what boosted his draft stock.

Not really.  Ladd’s injury history was and is still a big deal.  He gets to play with Herbert which inflates his stats.  Don’t start loving Ladd now.  Hunter is another question and the main question is 6’0 185.  Size is a concern.

Sanders is basically Caleb Williams just a lot smaller, a lot weaker arm, and slower.

Listening to sports talk this morning, they said this is a horrible draft to be needing franchise QB.  Suggested in a more typical QB draft, Sanders and Ward would be mid-to-late first rounders.

I like Ward. I don't like the rest of the class. Ward looks like a top 5 picks year in and year out to me. But I think he's the only 1st rounder in the class.

It 100% was, he ran a 3.97 at his pro day.

In reference to pass uses of shuttle times. This article details how Edelman’s shuttle got him drafted in the first place. A guy who was completely off the radar in college got drafted simply because of his elite shuttle time. Ladd’s definitely played a role in his draft stock boost.

Additionally, saying a receiver is or isn’t good because of their QB play is such a lazy argument. McConkey is elite at creating separation. Just a few weeks ago PFF had him as their leader in created separation for the week.

Does he have prior injury concerns, sure. But there’s a difference between drafting a wide receiver with an injury history verses signing a wide receiver with an injury history. The main difference being the money.

    • Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.   
    • Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying. 
    • 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.
