My first argument stated that he said JG was awesome for a while. And he did.

And I said he back tracked which means he did criticize him but only after he played really bad. You even bolded me saying that he said he was really good and then said he wasn’t later on. So obviously I did say that he did criticize him. But only after his and play.

Assuming “a while” means 1 year 😭😂😂

Well, that was my point in my first reply. You'd hope he wouldn't criticize him until he played bad. And again, the fact that he "backtracked" (read: criticized his play) kind of undermines your inference that we should expect a QB to cover for a QB. Heck, we're all agreeing that he criticized JG.

So, it kind of undermines the entire argument that "we can't trust Ainge's analysis on Joe because you can't trust him to not cover for a QB".

I’ll speak slowly for you.

He will defend a QB first and foremost.

When it becomes blatant that he cannot, he will change his tune.

He did it with JG and Joe.

It was always the OL or WR’s fault first.

I’m not saying that Ainge can’t be trusted. But former players at a certain position will always defend their group first.

One of the most surprising findings of this work is that most transfers involved players moving down in competition level. While high-prestige transfers between P5 programs (e.g., Justin Fields or Caleb Williams) garner most of the media attention, they are generally the exception rather than the rule. Most P5 players who transfer are heading down in competition level, to G5 or non-FBS programs. Similarly, more G5 transfers involve players heading down to the non-FBS level than moving up to the P5 level. The P5 level is a net exporter of players (-915) via the portal. The G5 level appears to be roughly neutral (-20), with similar amounts of players entering and leaving. Non-FBS programs appear to be net importers (+935), with significantly more players added than lost via the portal (based on 247 data). Overall the transfer portal largely seems to function to help players who are struggling to find success at their current competition level, move either up or down to a more-suitable level of competition.

On Jabari Small:
I think he's still deciding on what he's going to do. It doesn't feel like he will be back here, but I'm not sure if he's going to try for the league or play another year elsewhere. I don't think he has fully decided, but I don't think returning here is in his plans as of now.

Gerald Mincey
John Campbell

For every lower level guy you can name, I can find multiple P5 guys, the ones I named were just Vols.

Go away troll.

Was Pope a good hire though? Our receivers couldn't get separation at all this year.

Not saying fire him. But not ready to determine if he was or wasn't yet.

I think scheme needs to change on the defensive side of the ball. WM isn't the main issue imo. I won't rehash all that though.

We must have watched different teams this year.

If we are going to criticize Pope this year, it would be for dropped passes, timing, and possibly route tree decision making. Getting separation wasn't a problem. Quickly identifying separation in real time, on the other hand, was a major problem but that isn't on Pope.

Also, a friendly reminder that players play the actual game. A coach can only do so much. Pope also coached Hyatt and Tillman. We tend to assign too much credit and blame to coaches.

Big fan of Pope. Best WRs coach since Trooper.

I think every live rep the kid can get is huge. Garbage time or not he still has to lead the offense.

He is getting plenty of reps from Dec of last year until the start of next season…. There has been too many qbs that haven’t played much at all as a freshman but go out and perform as a sophomore….. I think it is a bigger deal to fans than it is to coaches/players.
