The Atlanta Braves - Hello darkness my old friend

[Blake25p]

RS Nico is was and always will be a stupid decision. Why Heup agreed to it I'll never understand.

Don’t disagree but with the transfer portal you have to make promises you normally wouldn’t have especially with guys like Nico. I think I remember AP saying in a pod the family didn’t think he was physically ready to play yet.

Then don't take him.
We needed a FR that was ready to go day 1.

The mistake was they saw Joe during bowl practice/bowl and thought they fixed him. They got duped. Not the first coaching staff that thought they could turn a guy around or thought that practice would translate to games

Here is the only true freshman starting QB in P5 for 2023 with qualified stats. Dante Moore at UCLA

Seth Russell
Bryce Petty
Nick Florence
RG III

You dont need a freshman that lit up anything, you need one that wants to play.

This is exactly what happened IMO, they thought they fixed Joe which led the staff to feel comfortable promising Nico and his family that he’d redshirt.

And those arent freshman, those are the QB's that ran this offense at Baylor under Briles when they were good.

You dont need an Elite QB, you need an average one that has more processing speed then dial up.

1) I said this year

2) Bryce Petty and Seth Russell both redshirted, Nick Florence had a 6/9 TD-INT ratio his freshman year

3) What does Baylor QB’s under Art Briles have to do with any of this???

You dont have to have a Nico to have good QB play in this offense, you have to have one that wants to be on the field.

Nobody is arguing Joe is good. That’s not what you said.

The dumb argument you said is they should have taken a different QB than Nico because he wasn’t ready to play

Checkerboards man, lay off the sauce or the drugs or something dude lol

There you go twisting my words.

I said they shouldve taken one that wanted to play. If Nico told the coaches he wanted to RS, thanks but no thanks until you found one that wanted to play this year.

Caleb Williams doing a commercial about laughing at being cursed and then going 7-5 is high comedy

If I'm the first pick in the draft there's no way I'm taking him

I don’t know how it’s possible so many stupid thoughts are packed into one person. It’s truly incredible

AA runs a tight ship. We ain’t gonna know what he’s doing until the ink is dry.

When the Braves issue a press release, that is when something has transpired.

 

[zjcvols]

Dear Braves,

Please do the following

1) Sign Yamamoto
2) Sign Gray
3) Sign Reynaldo Lopez
4) Trade for Lars Nootbar

Thanks

Drinkwitz is incredibly mouthy for a couch that has done absolutely nothing.

Turns out. Heup just can't quit Joe.

The coaches did not plan on redshirting Nico. There was no promise made as a condition of his recruitment. They planned to get him game experience throughout the season, but things did not go as planned. Opportunities to play him were missed, and now that the season is almost over, the risk-reward scenario has changed. He'll get a RS because that's how the season unfolded. Nobody's thrilled about how the QB situation or the offense played out this year.
