Hahaha they very well might hire someone on Wednesday, but 80% of people wouldn’t like Sean McVay or Sean Payton as OC. 80% approval ain’t happening, even just for spite and to be contrary people would complain.

Got anything to prove that? I’ve been hearing about guys getting those evaluations as long as I can remember paying attention the NFL draft.





Holy shifted goalposts, Batman!

Yes, until recently they gave estimations that guys might be mid round picks as well, but quit because their accuracy rating was a lot lower for mid/late round prospects than for early round prospects. But those NFL evaluations have been for quite a long time.

Anyway, you could have just admitted you didn’t realize it had been around so long. Everybody has to google stuff occasionally. Admitting you didn’t know something is a much better look than scrambling and shifting the goalposts to try and avoid looking fallible on the internet.

It was an option that wasn’t. They had something that wasn’t readily employed...so they didn’t generally use it. Eligibility for the draft for players out of high school was as new as 1989...so 5 years later they threw up SOMETHING. We have different memories...like we did with Terrell Owens Combine 40 time. Allz I know is that it wasn’t a THING that was used by uncertain NFL candidates until 2013 ish and it was so rampant that it’s only available to 5 per college team. I was a passionate draftnik since the mid 80’s but that’s waned the last few years...so not that long ago. I googled to be sure of the date and that hasn’t changed. I give a crap about “appearances” or “looks” and even less about you. So you let me shift my goalposts and I’ll let you carry on with your Chattanooga bus crash comedy tour...k?

He's not going to admit he was wrong about any of this.
Truth is his accuracy on post regarding NCAA rules mirrors the Batting average of national league pitchers in the MLb.

MLB. When did you admit about being wrong over Sherrer recruiting for us before the NC game?

I wouldn't be opposed to 6, no more. But, I do like 4 though. While yes, is UGA 1 of the 4 best teams in the country, maybe, probably; but, dang, how many shots do they get, you know?

No argument. Own your losses. Losing by 20 to LSU left them no room for error.

Sapp made a terrible decision. And I say that without any animosity towards the player.

I mean, if you think you have NFL potential, then I think you have to look at this next season as a business decision. Meaning, you squash whatever nonsense it is that is preventing you from meshing with the staff or getting playing time. Work your ass off for a year, dot your i's, cross your t's, swallow your pride and yes sir no sir your way into the mix. Fake it for a year and buy in.

There was a clear path to playing time here - and he is a guy who has natural ability.

If you can't do that, then you do like Osborne or McBride and transfer to another school, get some film.

As is, he has virtually no noteworthy film out there for scouts to evaluate. They're going to look at the Vols the past two years- how bad the team looked going 4-8 and 5-7 and say "How come this kid couldn't get on the field and contribute on a bad team?"

The only chance he has - and this isn't to get drafted, because that isn't happening - at becoming an UDFA is to show the F out in workouts. But he's so..... irrelevant (for lack of a better word) that I can't even see him getting a combine invite. So he'll have one shot to make an impression on NFL scouts and it'll be at the Tennessee Pro Day. But then again, there is no flash players declaring this year. Even if guys like Calloway and Jennings declare, they aren't talented enough guys were there will be a huge draw of NFL scouts to our Pro Days, especially if it is held on the same day as other more talent laden schools hold theirs.

Now, having said all that, I once again state that I have no animosity towards Sapp. He is a VFL in my book, and quite honestly it serves the team well if he were to get drafted. Recruits look at how many guys get drafted or end up in the league from each school. So hell, I hope he ends up sneaking into the draft.
