We have been conditioned to a new low bar for not that bad.

 

This is so true.  We got drubbed by 10 at home vs a Bengals teams who defense is almost as bad as ours and the sentiment is "at least we were competitive."  Thats how bad its gotten.  I wonder how long that thinking will hold up... if we end up 3-10 or 4-11 down the stretch will people still still be ok with just being competitive?

basically.  yeah.  Bar is so low that just not being lifeless is good.  

and now we are demanding 1st round trade compensation just because a dude the league rejected caught a couple balls against bad teams.   I could of beat that Bengal defender last week given how bad he was playing.  Everyone ran by him all game long.

Honestly yes. 4-11 while being theoretically able to win most games is about the best case scenario for this season, especially with the defensive injuries we've sustained. It would give us the platform to build the roster based off of what Canales and his system requires. We're also gonna dump a bunch of dead cap this offseason so we should be able to play around in FA.

Improvement is what we're looking for, and 4-11 while being competitive is miles ahead of where we were last year.

I remember when we had LUKE in the scouting dept., then he was out the next year. I bet he left cuz no one listened to him or actually watched tape. It’s probably like RAS this and Nicole likes this one and let’s pick the hurt guy and prove everyone wrong!

      Texas A&M Nic Scourton vs. Purdue Nic Scourton

      By *FreeFua* · Posted

      I’m honestly not trying to argue with you or talk bad about Scourton, I like him and I’ve watched all of his Purdue stuff/videos you linked previously. Just like I’ve watched all of Princely’s Florida stuff I’m only pointing out the weight thing because I’m excited about the idea of him being 255-260 and being more of a stand up edge here in Carolina like he was at Purdue versus at A&M And like you, I have a crap load of experience doing the whole cutting/weight/fitness thing and I know how crappy/sluggish I feel when I’m holding as little as an extra 8-10lbs of unnecessary weight. So for Scourton to come out and say he’s 255-260 now and feels good that’s exciting based on what he’s put on film at 280 and not feeling his best

      2024 College Football Thread

      I hate seeing this. I'm not sure he was ever going to make it in the NFL without the injury but that injury knocked FSU out of the college football playoffs and cost him and them and opportunity on the biggest stage in college sports. The injuries are the worst part of this game. They've created a nearly unending list of "what ifs". Hell, every HS, college, and pro team out there has a long list of them. It's also a good reminder that there's no such thing as a routine major injury. Even though sports medicine has improved dramatically in recent decades, major injuries are still somewhat of a coin flip on how a guy is going to emerge from it.

      I don't know what Texas A&M was doing with their edge rushers. They had two freaks in Scourton and Shemar Stewart and yet instead of turning them loose they asked them to play 20 lbs overweight and just set the edge. That's full-on coaching malpractice at any level. Much was made about Shemar Stewart's lack of sack production, but while he wasn't my favorite prospect this year a lot of that was clearly what they were asking him to do. The good news with Scourton is that, unlike Stewart, did manage to be a huge factor as a pass rusher despite this and despite playing 20 lbs overweight. If he can stay around 260-265 it should help him re-gain some of that explosiveness from his Purdue days.
