I’m not denying that the offense can have an advantage in the running game. But if the narrative that all skilled players just merely benefit from the scheme, it’s lazy. If we average almost 5 ypc, Sampson averaged about 6 ypc over 3 years. You have to watch what he brings. If you see what he does in the open field, then that tells an NFL OC to get him in space. We have guys who can excel at the next level.

I'm in no way diminishing Sampson or his skills. But it is fact that this scheme affords runners advantage in numbers and spacing.

No worries. If you watch his highlights there are some things to be excited about with his deep ball accuracy. I think the comparison with Pavia is just cause they are both Hispanic. People always do stuff like that lol.

His interceptions are an issue from what I've watched I only watched the ECU highlights well parts of it, and the Clemson video. He reminds me of JG, In a different offense. Edit i was wrong different high schools than JG

It's to rest half of our receivers so we can avoid substituting and keep the defense on the field.

Given we slowed our pace with Nico last year it's less relevant but when we were hiking the ball every 10 seconds it created an advantage.

Thank you, that makes sense if your running plays at a fast pace......... But they way we ran it last year at the slower pace doesn't make sense.

Some simple logic. JA. played for Appy State. Level of talent he played with and against impacted both his performance and development. He tried to force things to happen at times.

Heup sees what he can do with development that will lead to the performance we need. That helps the QB room overall because they know JA is experienced and in his last year of eligibility.

Honestly believe this will work out well for the team overall. Was not feeling good about the season with Nico because it was becoming all about him within his family and a lot of the fanbase. All I was seeing from fans, analysts and the media was how everybody on the O except Nico were weak links. Which was not true at all.

Nico was an early trial for going big on one key player with NIL. Learn from it an move on.

So I was talking to someone and said I'd hoped NICO would at least have produced like DJ Lagway with the Gators. And then I looked at DJ Lagway's numbers Yikes. Not good. Then I found this snippet (thanks AI):

He holds an On3 NIL Valuation of $3.8 million, seventh among college athletes and fourth among football players, and has deals with Gatorade, Nintendo, Epic Games and Leaf Trading Cards.

With his numbers last year, 3.8 million?

I would've chosen Lagway over Nico in a heartbeat
