Recruiting Forum Football Talk IV

That burnt/chemical/pesticide taste is now described as "smells/tastes like COVID."

Fried foods for me, with a few exceptions. I'm guessing it's the quality of the oil, but can't verify yet. Soda tastes WAY too sweet now, and coke tastes like 100% vanilla.

The dry food with a shelf life got me for a while too, but it's mostly gone now.
Thankfully iced tea never tasted bad, my life would have been over.

I truly think I’ve traced it down to canola oil!!
I’ve researched all the dry foods that have the same nasty taste, and the common ingredient is canola oil!! Lol
Granola and peanut butter, two things I use to eat daily, I cannot stand to smell or taste now.

Playing devil's advocate here........so are you also saying that Jack Tatum, Lester Hayes, Mel Blount, Charlie Waters, or Ken Houston couldn't play defensive back today? They are also subjective? Lynn Swann, Drew Pearson, Lance Alworth, or Fred Biletnikoff couldn't play today and are overrated?

I’m not saying anyone couldn’t play in today’s game.

The original point was purely about passing talent of QBs. The WRs you mention all imo would have had even more staggering numbers with better passing QBs throwing to them.

I've got a crisp dollar bill that says Bennett Brady will be the first pwo to see action next year.

I hate this thread

And yet, here you are.

LOL. Mizzou just lost a 4 star to Wyoming

 

[peaygolf]

Yep. Bradshaw had turrable mechanics....smh

 

[volbeast33]

Don't givacrap about his college stats.

It does show that his talent had a lot to do with the situation he was placed in…..kind of like the offense that we run…. It makes good QBs.

the darkness of the off season has settled into this thread like low gray clouds over the frost bitten plateau

Sounds like NFL films talking about the early GB Packers.

Was that the start of your book?

Jared Goff is only "very mediocre" by today's standards. He would have been a pretty highly praised QB had he played in the 60s/70s era. 6'4" 215lbs and running laser timed 4.8s

Same height, weight, and speed as my nephew….. he is not a good qb either.

 

[butchna]

I already agreed that I shouldn't have said he sucked...but I stand by what I said that passers from the 80s onward were better throwing the f'n ball beautifully. Mechanics and everything else got better.

Is that “talent”?

That’s awesome…. Need those kind of players

 

[cHiZzLeVOL]

I’ll still never understand how Albright literally had all the long snapping accolades and then somehow seemingly forgot how to long snap….. it doesn’t make sense.

 

[Billy Antrim]

Two best of all time. Dandy Don Merideth and Sonny Jurgenson. Physical Specimens with unmatched work ethic.

You forgot the blue font.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

I could say...........put Mahomes, Brady, Manning, and whoever back in the '70's. Same coaching, same fitness, same off-season, and same rules they had back then, and lets see if they throw for 5,000 yards and 50 TDs?

This is more what-if...but to me it's the same argument. Those guys would all still ball out in that era or this era. And the better guys of the 70s coming forward with all the same benefits of today's players would also ball out.


That's not the discussion I'm having at least. I'm saying very few of those 60s/70s guys were as talented throwers as the guys of the 80s and onward. In saying that I'm looking at their mechanics and their stats. A few guys though are exceptions to the blanket statement. Because I sure as hell am not saying Tim Tebow has better Mechanics than Terry Bradshaw or Archie Manning either.

Speaking of long snapping...do we have a replacement?

Huh…. Goff can literally throw the ball a whole football field he isn’t “Mediocre”

Didn’t we get a walk on to fill Albrights spot when he seemingly couldn’t be the backup long snapper? Then just had the kid above commit

You’re either talented or you’re not. Errything else is DEVELOPMENT. Wasted movement wasn’t coached out of them when they were playing baseball in the off-season.

 

[Weezer]

The players of today's NFL do not take the hits that players in yesteryear's NFL took. The game has become softer. Sure, players today are physical specimens, but that's easier to maintain when you're protected by the rules. Tom Brady doesn't last 22 years if he's taking the hits that guys like Unitas, Tarkenton, or Bradshaw took. People willfully ignore that today's football is much, much different than it used to be. It's almost like two different sports as much as the rules have changed. A lot of physicality has been removed from the game.

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

Mayo is only for the most refined palates not for you plebs of the recruiting forum.

While this may be true, players are way Bigger and Faster nowadays as well. So I believe there is a trade off.
