Recruiting Forum Football Talk [RIP 9.3.2019]

I hope he falls off Hogan’s bridge and into the water rounding Amen Corner.

How is that screwing it up? They need to play whoever gives them the best chance to win now. It’s a new system so really we can’t even offer up an educated opinion on who will play/fit better

Not only that, but none of us has seen enough practice to even remotely come close to offering a valid opinion. We can only go off of one session and others opinions on that one session. Most of those opinions are done by a bunch of geeks (Rucker). I'll roll with whoever is out there and if he isnt good, send the other guy out.

Poor Koepka. Never had any danger from a has been, and the crowd gives him nothing when he wins.

When Koepka has done what Jack, Tom Watson and Tiger have done, and becomes a "has been", then I'll be cheering for him when he's that close in a major. (Does anyone remember Tom Watson a few years back in the British open? I'm sure Stewart Cink is a nice guy, but only his family members wanted him to win that)

Why? Why not play the guy that gives you the best chance to win for the next two or three years? Just seems really short sighted of the staff. Plus i think KC is terrible. JG at least has upside and it sounds like he’s improving.

In my eyes, it looks like they’re playing “their guy” instead of the one that’s more talented. Hope it works out but I don’t think it will long term. Our QBs next year will be McBride, shrout, and Maurer.

 

[HankHill]

Wouldn’t surprise me if KC put himself ahead with his performance today.

Taylor is a starting CB 100%

Bryce Thompson can play.

We are more than fine at RB and WR.

Typical “coaches are making the wrong decision because they aren’t playing the guy I like” babble

Because if they win more games NOW they can have an easier road to recruiting this and next year rather than winning a little less. If Pruitt can go 8-4, he can point to Saban going 6-6 and Kirby at 7-5 as not doing as well with easier schedules. Sometimes you gotta risk it for the the biscuit.

KC ahead, interesting lol

Because in ONE practice KC got more reps?

 

[Rishvol]

No wonder you keep saying Tiger is a has been...you were too young to see when he dominated the tour for over a decade. Today was just a glimpse of what he used to do consistently for a long long time.

I've been watching golf since Davis Love III was dominating the circuit. Tiger benefited from weak competition his whole career. Until now. The Young guns don't know the "Tiger affect" and they probably never will.

There’s no way you can watch KC play at Stanford and look at his stats and say he’s “terrible”. That’s just not logical. Underwhelming, mediocre fine but come on.

Idk why people are so caught up on the long term. If JG isn’t good enough for the coaches now that they choose to play a 1 year rental over him then it doesn’t matter. We need to win now worse than every. Do you know how hard it is to recruit and create mommentum off a 4-8 year

Whys that? did he manage that much better? is that the attribute the staff is prioritizing?

Koepka loves flying under the PR radar. He really don't care much about media and hype. He worked hard, went to Japan and Europe for several years and won a half dozen tourneys there before trying the PGA Tour. So when he started, he was ready. If he stays healthy he will be a winner for a long, long time. But like Volatil posted, may be time for an upgrade on the love interest. lol.

 

[millst987]

I see KC as a guy that’s not gonna win games for you individually, but he’s not going to lose games for you by making bad decisions. He’s what Pruitt probably wants, a game manager.

The problem is 3 practices in essentially every media outlet was talking about how far ahead JG was. Now fans will accept nothing less than him starting

 

[HankHill]

I think people on this board are getting too caught up in tools and arm talent. QBs with far better tools get beat out by lesser all the time.

Chad Pennington couldn’t throw it 50 yards and was a very solid nfl qb.

Command of the offense, quick reads, IQ at the LOS, etc are all more important than which guy can hit a 30 yard deep out.

I wonder how JG has matured? Will he throw a tantrum if he's not the starter?

 

[volfaninpa]

KC got the majority of the 1st team work today.

Could be indicative of KC moving ahead or could be a test to see how JG responds. Remember JG on bench vs Georgia Tech last year? Just a thought.

Had a top notch offensive line and two elite running backs and couldn’t keep his job. You really want me to believe he’s in a better situation to succeed here? I’m not buying that for a minute. I say terrible because if he were mediocre he would probably still be at Stanford.

And we have a top 15 class with lots of spots so it isn’t that hard. I would rather us have a slow, steady rebuild than risk it all on year one.

 

[VolGee4]

Poor Koepka. Never had any danger from a has been, and the crowd gives him nothing when he wins.

Kind be of weird calling him a “has been” for the second time. Arguably the greatest to ever play or at least top 3 all time. I think he will won another major now.

 

[Vols4us]

I really don't understand why so many posters care so much over who starts at QB. It's like it is an personal offense if _____ doesn't start. I only care about who wins at QB - it could be the scout team QB for that matter. CJP said his highest priority is winning. I believe him.

 

[scvolfan7]

He will lose you games if he can’t hit deep and intermediate passes. Teams will key in on short passes and try to stuff the run

 

[JAllen18]

Id be very surprised if Chryst is named starter over JG in week 1.

It just seems like you are all in on JG as a player and you should never be like that. At least til they show they can play at an elite level. Idc who wins. Just passing along info to y’all.
