I'm really not sure 

 

Just opt out like Kennard and Sanders did if that's what you're gonna do. 

Yeah, no issue with Sanders opting out.  Team at least knows going in.   Just dipping out because you no longer want to play sort of screws your teammates who cared to play/win.  

and I wouldn’t want my coach making deals with players to sit halfway through.  Play or sit.  No half in bologna.

Yeah, with NIL money borderline NFL players are going to be better off sticking around in college. A late round pick QB is still a very talented college QB that's gonna get PAID in the portal.

Speaking of this, it's being reported that Ewers is already getting offers upwards of $6M if he hits the portal.

Well not singling any one team out. But given the collective noise made about the SEC being screwed and the travesty that was committed during the CFP selections….

Kirk Herbstreit and company sort of got left hanging out to dry with the SEC teams not coming in behind it to back up all that talk  

And yeah, I get players sat that wouldn’t have…..but still for some to holler that loud it sort of needed the I told you so to come with it.

I still think that's why DJ U took that money to go to FSU.  Didn't matter if it wasn't a great situation for him.  He's got to make his money while he can.  Probably knows his pro career is a long shot as a backup.

As long as we get to draft the second tiny terror, Dillon Gabreal, I'm all for them going back. Makes CFB more interesting.

I’m already looking forward to next year.  Clemson essentially bringing thr entire band back.  Should be actually able to make a real run at something next year.  O will be ready.  Gamecocks finally up and really threatening.   Both QBs should be in early talks of at least being possible Heisman guys to watch.  State of South Carolina should have two key national contenders if all goes well next year. 

Really hoping Belichick can go buy some 1 year rental at QB no one sees coming as well.  Maybe that Ewers talk is Bill searching for his  future marketing/recruiting example that will do the talking for him.   Take some meh draft QB and make him a first rounder year 1. 

Next college season has me way more excited than NFL

    • A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.
    • I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand. 
    • Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
