^^^ that quitter ended up not living up to his 5* rating. 5th round draft pick to the Texans and ran a 4.62 forty at the combine...which is a liability against the pass in the SEC and especially the NFL.

The 2 Jadens from the 25 class, as well as top 100 players White and Rouse in this 26 class ALL have the potential to be better than Henry....and ALL are faster than him and hopefully able to cover backs and TEs underneath which has been our Achilles heel forever on defense.

I can't believe anyone could interview that clown and decide it's a good idea to give him the keys to a billion $ top level D1 football team.

I’ll out myself, I was a full on backer because of Fulmer and the sh*t show we went through. I knew after year 2 and dreaded the third year because of our Covid schedule. Pile on because I deserve it, I just and still do root for our team regardless what year it is.







But I still know what asparagus is and love it, but any southern knows good cornbread.


Bad Jen, bad judgement.

Unfortunately I’ve learned a lot about these the last year. My middle son at 21 was diagnosed with a brain tumor last May. Misdiagnosed by Vandy with Astrocytoma stage 4 and given less than 5 years to live, right in front of him in the room. They were wrong. Further dna testing showed a tumor studied in less than 60 patients worldwide, but is out there being misdiagnosed. We spent the summer at St Jude for proton radiation after surgery. 13 months out now and clear scans. This new Patz1 tumor has a much better prognosis and good chance we don’t see it again from limited data.
Is there a thread with these types of discussions? I learned so much and dove into studies, 133 different tumors, etc and I had a son basically given a death sentence as well as spending time at St Jude. I may be able to help someone in some way.
Last May/This May. Miracle.

bolding JB shabazz for ya but yeah this would be juicy

my only thoughts are we usually identify 1-2 players once season starts who are relative nobody's right now and pursue them and they end up 90.00 4* and committed, has happened i believe every year under CJH

It seems, and I understand it if people are younger, and don't/can't remember things, i get it; but, it seems people only remember post-neck Manning...the one that only went on to win another MVP and went to 2 SBs. Seems there's this narrative out there, that Manning had no "talent" or "athleticism". The OP isnt the first i've seen it.

It's just not true.

Before Manning hurt his neck...while no, he wasn't Lamar Jackson, he could move around in the pocket, out of the pocket, buy time, and throw. And, whenever the aforementioned throwing of the football, he had as much "talent" as ANYONE to ever do it. And, before he hurt his neck, his arm was as strong as anyone's. Not only could he throw a 60 yard dime, his placement is unmatched.

It also truly seems, that people have most definitely forgotten Manning at Tennessee. And, this is not at you, Jack, none of this...but, go back and just watch his games against Georgia, and try and tell me he had no talent or athleticism.

Manning's arm talent alone, both as a gun and a marksman, puts him above all our other greats, he truly is once-in-a-lifetime...thats before you add in everything else. Imo, he is the GOAT, all time; however, on everyone else's list, if he's not #1, he's 2 or 3. And people are trying to say he didn't have much talent?? ALL brains? I guess I'll just have to disagree.

I believe Peyton was so gameday prepared for every situation,he never really had to show his athletic side by running and moving around a lot. Individuals saying Peyton wasn't athletic is like individuals saying Dan Marino didn't have one of the top 2 quickest releases in football history..
