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.

      How long do you feel it takes for a head coach to turn a team around?

      Canales has his msjor issue not doing the obvious regarding running Dowdle but with an average QB we would be in the playoffs with an average QB.

      1. fug TikTak, I ain't clicking that stupid poo. 2. This is really very situationally dependent. Coaching is a huge part but sometimes you step into a scenario where a lot of building needs to happen that is largely out of your control. Recent examples(Last season's hiring cycle): 1. Ben Johnson Johnson chose the OVERWHELMINGLY best open coaching job due to a combination of solid ownership, a solid front office and the most talented roster of the open jobs from that cycle. Negatives were, insanely stacked division. Results have so far indicated that this coaching change has been a massive boost. 2. Mike Vrabel Vrabel went a different direction. He went to a franchise that has solid ownership, a mediocre front office and one of the worst rosters in the NFL. However, he has a track record of NFL head coaching success AND lucked into one of the easiest schedules in NFL history(I believe 3rd easiest). Even with that caveat, a clear indicator that coaching has been a huge boost. 3. Pete Carroll Carroll chose one of the NFL's most volatile franchises. Notoriously bad ownership, very bad front office and a terrible roster. But, Carroll is a HOF caliber NFL HC with success at every stop. At the moment, coaching has not been able to overcome the apparent obstacles. In fact, it's been a complete disaster to the extent that Carroll has already fired multiple coaches. One could certainly argue that pethaps Pete has lost his touch but regardless, this coaching change didn't result in a turnaround and Carroll's future there seems in doubt. 4. Aaron Glenn Glenn's first HC opportunity was a doozy. Near worst ownership, a mediocre front office(at best) and a talented core group of players on an underwhelming roster. This experiment has been quite the ride to date. Glenn's personnel decisions have seemingly led to multiple close game losses(2-5 in games decided by one score or less) and the FO decided to have a roster firesale prior to the trade deadline for a wealth of draft capital. The question will be if Glenn will be given the time to actually see this future draft capital realized, now that a significant chunk of the talented core is not longer there. Coaching has not made a difference but is the franchise now setting him up to fail further? 5. Liam Coen Coen picked a mixed bag. Terrible ownership, a remade front office he essentially had a hand in selecting(or at the miminum influenced) and a middling roster. The early results show promise even if the roster shows significant flaws(and Coen shows visible frustration with his "franchise" QB every Sunday). Could be close to turning a 4 win team into a playoff berth. Coaching has mattered. 6. Brian Schottenheimer This was resoundingly viewed as a bad hire but it's also under challenging circumstances. Bad ownership in the sense that the ownership is also the front office, a future Tepper dream I assume. Very talented but very flawed roster. The initial results have been...interesting. A Cowboys team that was a bad 7-10 after a previous streak of three 12 win seasons is now....mediocre? Couple that with wild roster changes prior to the start of the season and up to the trade deadline and it makes for an incomplete picture. It's not much progress but it doesn’t appear to be regressing either. TBD. 6. Kellen Moore Moore chose the most challenging of all openings. The Saints are in the midst of a simulateous roster teardown and attempted rebuild. Decent ownership, a mixed bag in the front office(great at evaluating draft talent, less so in free agency and in salary cap management). The Saints have been awful but, they were expected to be awful. To that note, they were net sellers before the trade deadline. It was reported that Moore secured an agreement that this is long term building effort prior to taking the position so his status seems safe even while the team flounders week to week. Difficult to grade this now as the entire scenario seems to be a long term strategy. TBD.
