Least he tried to run with him. Toto would have still been in his drop looking at sidelines to see if Bituli in fact graduated and wasn’t about to check back into the game...

I think he'd also be asking the question, "why am I lined up trying to plan man coverage on a receiver?" But hey, I'm sure all the other linebackers can hang with guys who are fifty pounds lighter than them.

Dont lie , who else was waiting on the long pass from HB for the WR to turn around and run back to the ball? We have been traumatized from the JG PTSD for so long that we come to expect a pass being over thrown or under thrown.

That’s a little unfair to JG.
Sometimes he threw the ball perfectly....to the defender for a pick six.

I don’t anyone is ridiculing Albright, SaS. Or maybe someone is and I missed it. Just the current state of affairs. The arrests thinning the position... the pedestrian recruiting... the transfers... it’s quite obvious why Albright is taking snaps. Albright is probably having the time of his life. I’m jealous. That would be a blast. Our roster is not great. That can also be true.

Someone gave me the impression. May have read it wrong. Assuming the coaches will be looking for LBs in the portal so doubt he ends up being relied upon if he even plays. And I hope he is having the time of his life. Plus, I still need to get my Albright jersey.

Yeah here’s a question. When is the last, out of the blue, major upset that you can recall in college ball that changed the trajectory of a season?

I struggle with that one in the college football playoff era. Some of the playoff games themselves surprised me (Clemson drubbing Bama in 2018) but I wouldn’t call those upsets.

Just a few years ago there was an upset in the top ten about every week. The last few years the only question is which 4 of 6 teams are in the playoffs. It's almost as if the refs protect the undefeated teams in their league because they want their conference to have someone in the playoffs. I'd rather watch the bowl games than the playoffs. Especially last year when I hated all 4 teams.

Dunning–Kruger effect in action here

Yeah..well so is the ******* effect...I have never built myself up as a great intellect, and I never will, and that does not make me wrong when it comes to this...they waste millions upon millions every year on guys that are not worth the risk, and that is proven every year...over and over and over..

Listening to Wednesday Swain podcast and Ben and Swain keep talking up Hooker.

Every video with very limited passing, I have watched, Hooker didn't look anything special.

Thought it was funny reading Ben McKees article that said Hooker was first through every drill which was blatantly false. Bailey was the first through each drill.

No - you read them correctly just as I did and it was more than one post and poster.

There are 30 NBA Temas. Each with a max roster size of 15.

That means 450 NBA players exist at any given time.

Most teams play 10-11 deep. So about 338 players that actively see playing time.

Average career length is 5 years.

60 players are selected via the draft each year.

Which is a near exact equivalent replacement for the number of players that see playing time vs average career length. We can assume the remaining players are acquired via free agency.

Lastly, the ratio of undrafted players that become all stars is very near zero. I believe it’s actual zero this year. Similarly, all-stars taken outside the lottery is also very low.

So no, it does not appear they get it wrong. It appears you just have a misunderstanding about the math. You believe there is a high number of “busts” when it’s just a crowded league.

If there were so many “busts” as you say, there would be this natural vacuum of undrafted or late round picks that were all-stars or star level contributors and that’s just not the case.

Hell for all we know they may have watched a period of practice where the QB's went in order by year and came up with that answer lol.

Some of the video you see Hooker going first, then Maurer and then Bailey.

He's not. If he was he would still be at VT or in the draft. He ran for as many TD's as he passed - 9 each. They moved on from him toward the end of the season.

I find the discussions between Heupel and the QBs (especially Hooker) fascinating. I'm getting really excited (and I know I shouldn't!)
