Squirrel White

[S.C. OrangeMan]

Muffs two punts with FSU only down 3 at NCSU. Cost the Seis the game.

Florida State had a Derek Dooley-era meltdown in the 4th quarter

He’ll be working at Enterprise Rental Car at the Tallahassee Airport SOON!

For a.guy that transfered to get more time and show his wares better, he seems to have squandered the opportunity.

One wonders if he would have been better off sticking around.

Probably not. He wouldn’t get much playing time. And if he did it would be to the detriment of our team.

So, does this show that 1) all our WRs are just a product of the system and they aren't really good, or 2) that we don't develop WRs very well, so they go to other teams and they aren't really good, or 3) they just aren't really good?

If it's #1, thank you Heup for having a system that can make chicken salad out of....
If #2, maybe we need an upgrade at WR coach.
If #3, maybe we need some better recruiting analysts.

[kptvol1]

If our WRs just aren’t good, then Heupel’s offensive scheme is next level. These guys do themselves a disservice by leaving. RB’s are only good because of the scheme? WRs are only good because of the scheme? QBs are only good because of the scheme? The scheme is a gimmick? None of that adds up.

Nimrod is playing in a similar system against worst competition.

#4 NIL and the portal didn't magical negate the effects of our recruiting sanctions.

Matthews was a 5 star, I don't remember if Cam Seldon was rated higher than Braylon Staley, but I don't think the others were.

So we're seeing that except for a few veteran WR transfers with NFL talent (Velus Jones, C. Tillman, and McCoy*) it takes talent and a year (Brazzel, Hyatt, Matthews, Staley) to pick up Heupel's system.

Next year's WR class looks to be the most talented we've had.

*McCoy was NFL bound before the injury.

 

[Dadof2Vols]

#1...........!

Maybe 4, The system brings out the best in the receivers if they put in the work. It can make a mediocre receiver look good But it can make a receiver with NFL caliber athletics look high draft-able if they put in the work.

Really surprised it hasn't already happened.

Not sure but none of those guys listed are all that great. For sure Squirrel with a mangled shoulder last year wasn’t SEC worthy and should have been benched.

When Squirrel caught a pass, he seemed to fall down, otherwise he was a drop waiting to happen.

Joey would have made him look like Hyatt . Squirrel made a very bad decision.

Squirrel made a good decision probably based on the coach’s feedback as it’s clear there were more talented younger receivers who were going to pass him by.

I think that's why Huepel has changed his offense around some. There were many reasons but one was to help receivers be more ready for the NFL.

There was nothing about this that was good for Squirrel. He would have had more yards in the first game than he had all season.

 

[deatojl]

The NIL money he was given to go to FSU for a season was good for Squirrel. He wouldn't have gotten that here and is not going to be an NFL player.

I'd say it shows that, for the second season in a row, having a mass departure from a single underperforming group is not worthy of a full blow meltdown and hand wringing about the coaching staff by fans.

Of all those listed Squirrel was the only one who got regular playing time. No one else could stay on the field. I just don't think they were that good.

 

[37620VOL]

Look, the guy knew he wasn't going pro. He has a kid. FSU, as the highest bidder, was his last chance to make serious money. It was a logical decision made to support his family - I can respect that. Now he can buy his family a house for cash and start a job in coaching, or whatever he wants to do.

 

[Vol in Buckeye Land]

Wishing Squirrel all the best in his endeavors going forward, especially as a father. There's a lot more to this big beautiful world than football.
