I can't stop looking at numbers today. Wanted to get some work done but oh well...

I feel like the most frustrating part of our offense last year was how often we just got nothing (or worse) plays. Nico seemed to get sacked a ton relative to his pressure rates, and despite being 6'6", I've never seen so many batted passes.

Out of the top 100 QBs in my 2024 talent rankings database:

Expected Sack Rate (adjusted for OL performance and opponent):
- Nico: #92
- Aguilar: #18

Expected Batted Pass Rate (same adjustments):
- Nico: #98
- Aguilar: #9

And because these kinds of plays kill drives...

Expected First Down Rate:
- Nico: #52
- Aguilar: #17

Also... I didn't expect this but if you adjust for talent, game context, and scheme, Aguilar and Nico's expected INT rates are actually about the same. Nico benefited from a ton of screens and play action, while Aguilar never really got that kind of help and consistently got left for dead by his coaching staff, o-line, and receivers.

Expected INT Rate:
- Nico: #44
- Aguilar: #57

Nico's obviously got all the talent in the world, and while Aguilar has a really good arm he's never going to have Nico's ceiling. The good news is, what works in college isn't always equal to what makes for a high ceiling quarterback, and I think Aguilar's ability to move the chains is going to be a much better fit for the college game (and Heupel's offense) than what Nico brings to the table.

I think that nico had all the talent in the world in 7on7 format. Also in non contact situations in practice.

Once real football began playing, he dropped to an average SEC football player.

I been fishing small ponds for crappie the last few weeks and I got enough of those and a few chiggers to cover the board.

Spray WD-40 around your ankles before going out and it will stop the chiggers. I have been using this method for at least a decade now without any chigger bites. They used to plague me.

Those valuations aren’t necessarily their contracts.

But also yes idk why everyone thinks Lagway is so good bc his numbers were poo. Might turn into a baller but that’s not a given.

I've been totally baffled by this narrative too. A lot of people who supposedly know football sing his praises but I don't see it.

I never get chigger bites in East TN. . . Raleigh NC. . . that's a different story. I was out fishing on the banks of Lake Benson in Cary and left with about 2,600 chiggers. I didnt know what it was for about a week, never had them before. Thought I got into some sort of radioactive poison ivy.

Great Pyrenees are amazing dogs. I’ll put that breed up against any other dog breed 1 on 1 in a fight.

Loyal and gentle giants but they can be mean and protective, if needed.

Tough day for @thistime's cousins. Hopefully you were skittled up for this attack and did not participate. Can we get a wellness check?
