Fair enough. I just don't like the petty insults. I'll do it right back to people if done to me first. I was just stating my opinion. At least I'm on record for not liking the pick. It's not the position, it's the player. I'll gladly eat my crow if I'm wrong. Hopefully I am. Peace! I'm out. 

Your name literally says flag football coach.   Godalmighty

No, it’s NIL. Talent is more spread out. UGA still has an elite staff 

Georgia still has access to and the means to obtain the one of the best rosters in the country.

His interviews. Combine interview that went viral, scout rumors saying he's immature and individual team interviews were a disaster. Granted, maybe he's playing 4D Chess and trying to coax certain teams not to draft him, but weird none the less. 

it was a huge turn off when he was on stage and looking at the crowd and how he was answering the host.  dude seemed like such a fug head

Yeah, the blue blood programs can't horde four and five star guys on their third string anymore but they still have plenty if talent. Just look st all those OSU and Bama guys that went last night and folks really wanted to pretend like Bama had a "down year" in terms of talent. GTFOH. That Bama team would've been the most talented team in program history outside of about 10 programs.

Didn't think he would make it to us. Love the pick. Gonna have to let him have some leway as he is young and still developing. Best OT since gross for us.

How does he pronounce his name?  Does he say MAWN row?

This is a really risky pick for Dan, he must be feeling full of himself after last years draft. Went right back to the Fitterer school of draft the high RAS player and hope he learns football. I don't know poo, but just watching the tape he's not very appealing, he's just tall and strong.

For those who do the "30" visit investigating, southeast area scout Corey Fuller confirmed Monroe Freeling didn't have a "30" visit.

Give me a break. UGA has one of the most "gimmicky" offenses i've ever seen since their QB is very limited as a passer. The ball was out immediately on almost every pass. When UGA did the traditional 3 step drop, routes that take longer to develop etc, his pass blocking leaves a lot to be desired if you watch his film closely, which 99% of the posters loving the pick haven't done. That's fine if you haven't watch him play, but the people who have watched him play have the right to their opinion. Its a message board. He didn't go up against any great pass rushers. Average run blocker. There's a lot of unknowns with this kid that makes it a risky selection. He's truly a boom or bust prospect. Everyone on here assumes he's going to reach his ceiling when in reality that rarely happens with "potential" prospects. 

I gotta ask.  How is it that all the draft analyzers that have him listed as a top 15 pick miss this "Gimmick" style of play?  

Your take sounds personal.  Maybe you hate Georgia Football so bad you're blind to facts.  Just tell me how all of them missed this insightful take.

All I know is that he posted about Freeling looking bad in the combine drills (position stuff not #s stuff), which reminds me of Little. After watching the fluidity of Burns, watching Little in the combine drills was a huge red flag. He was the only OL I absolutely didn’t want us to take. Hurney had to miss Little’s drills due to a meatball sub.

Anyway, I didn’t watch the drills this year but this was posted above and it certainly makes me concerned. Little always reached and fell down. Hopefully Freeling is just raw but I’m concerned due to another Huddler’s evaluation of Freeling’s combine position drills.

For starters "Fetti" is the dumbest twitter panther "fan" in existence.  And there really isnt a close 2nd.  I mean the dude has velcro shoes for fugs sake.  Hes the same dude that keeps getting banned from Twitter.  Do you know how fuging stupid one has to be to be banned multiple times from twitter with once case of him posting child porn?  The moron actually challenges people to meet up and fight if you have a different opinion.   Yes he is that stupid.

 

As to the video, bro its literally one play from 2 seasons ago.   PU was 22 years old playing in his 5th year of college and Monroe was 19 in his 2nd.  Bit of a difference no?  And if one is trying to make some grandiose point or have judgment of a player from one clip 2 years ago then they are even bigger morons than I even gave them credit for.
