Recruiting Football Talk VIII

Regardless of money, people are overlooking a small insignificant fact. There is no one worth a sh!t in the portal to get. Some of you talk like there is unlimited elite talent available and that Tennessee is too cheap and Heup is to lazy to go get it. Basketball is on a completely different timeline, now is the time the hay is made in basketball. In football, now is the time to make due.
Apparently, they like some of these guys for depth, but they want starter money and we’re not going for it (per LWS). I’d feel better if we could add a vet to the WR room, but there is a problem if you’re paying your #4-5 option more than the starters.
 
View attachment 738729my liner was cloth but it still had the world map on it...... just in case I ever got lost on an archeology expedition. 🤣
They should have made them with a local
road map on the liner. Save you from having to carry around an atlas.
 
They will be off to better things in a couple years when Cleveland bundles them in a draft day trade up to the #1 pick to take to take Big Nic's left moob.
I think Big Nic will insist they take both. Probably have to trade up in the third to get the right moob.
 
Ya know...I'm sure the media talking heads were doing Deion a favor and that's why they beat the drum so hard about Shedeur dropping to the 5th round.

But objectively I completely get why the NFL didn't value him higher.

1. His dad has been his coach his entire life
2. System QB like the Air Raid of old (Graham Harrell, Gardner Minshew, Luke Falk, etc.)
3. Did nothing at the combine to help himself

I was cleaning my closet out a few weeks ago. I found my old leather jacket from back in the day. Solid black with that silky liner. I remembered how much I loved that jacket. Still smelled like the beautiful smell of real leather. I sat it aside and thought, I'll give this to my son because there is no way I'm fitting into this thing. He was over and I said "Hey, I've got something for you." He gave me that, "Oh my gosh, what now" look. He appreciates nostalgia so I figured he would love it. Anyway, he took it and looked at it. I looked at it and it looked bigger than I remembered. I grabbed it back and put it on and it still fit perfectly. I looked at him and said, "No way you're getting this." and walked away.

He also has below-average arm talent for the NFL. He’s a bit limited in terms of offensive systems that he could thrive in.

Yep.

Here's some previous 5th round QBs...I'd say talent wise he's in line

2024: Spencer Rattler, Jordan Travis
2023: Clayton Tune, Dorian Thompson-Robinson, Sean Clifford, Jaren Hall
2022: Sam Howell
2021: Sam Ehlinger (taken in 6th though, no 5th rounders this year)
2020: Jake Fromm
 
Cleveland's QB room

DeShaun Watson ( who will never take another snap at Cleveland)
Joe Flacco 40 years old just there to help out for now
Kenny Pickett third team in 3 years
Dillon Gabriel will be a lifetime backup
Shedeur Sanders. Probably starts by mid season...


Sanders couldn't have picked a better spot to land...
 
Some people are just dumb, and racist.

Why, in the hell was that woman in a mobile handicap scooter? Running into crap. Over her kids, causing commotion.
Yeah. The fact she says didn't need it but my kids wanted to ride it is a red flag for me. Those are for people that NEED them!

Sheduer could conceivably win that job. That is a lot of players who are not very good.

However, if he shows up to camp unprepared, and he probably will, he is DOA. 4th string QBs do not get live reps. Can't win the job with a clipboard in your hands

And the best part.... most 5th round QBs make roughly 1.1 million a year so LESS than his NIL at Colorado most likely.

😂🤣

GI issue A-2 ala the Fonz, he copied me. Goat leather canvas liner.

I think Flacco starts at QB and Shedeur is either backup or Emergency QB at the start of the season. Gabriel will be cut...
