Recruiting Football Talk VIII

[mr.checkerboards]

Unpopular opinion:

The draft is unwatchable. TV personality yelling over the people in the background who are yelling in a microphone. Impossible to hear anything. Super annoying

It takes too long. I don't nees 15 minutes in between picks.

Looks like the NFL is retiring Shedeur's number before giving him one?

I still say Frenchs should of somehow capitalized on all that pub..mustardchuker on bottle or something for the South.

Aerodynamic bottle design for those large BBQ's where somebody at the other end party says, "Pass the mustard".

Prep

I am not sure that entering the portal is what he should do. Sounds like he should enter the workforce.

Honestly smart by Haslam lol, browns won that trade

They should have a parade. Probably the last thing they win for a while.

 

[Glitch]

That's dishonest math.

I've actually been thinking that jersey retirement sham may have hurt him.

The NFL Football is a merit-based league, by and large. Nobody likes it when an entitled kid who hasn't achieved anything thinks he's the cream of the crop. Franchises already knew dealing with dad was gonna be a headache, but the retirement might've pushed it even further and exacerbate concerns that Shadeur will be uncoachable and is far more concerned about image than being a pro.

Plus, Deion has a giant microphone that he will use repeatedly over the course of Shadeur's career to publicly criticize whatever franchise takes him.

Travis Hunter is a different story. Dude is far more talented and won the Heisman so deserved a retirement. Plus, Deion isn't his dad.

Got a flyer on my mailbox today for aeration & overseeding. . . seems a little steep. . . then again, Idk what the charge normally is for this over the years.

Aeration and seeding is a fall activity. Anybody wanting to do that this time of year is trying to rob you of your money.

NTM, any coach that gets him is just waiting for Deon to come for his job and continue this football-dad, "just wanna keep coaching my kid" weirdness going.

Pick pierce so I can go to sleep!

Shadeur has no measurables, mediocre talent, and mediocre tape. When you stick him beside Hunter and strip things down to who did what, Hunter makes Shadeur look even more mediocre. A lot of chatter pre draft predicted this.

On somewhat related note… we’re about to enter the era where Gen 1 of NIL players get hit with their real value. Pay cuts about to happen for a ton of players.

One thing that is a non-starter if I'm picking a first round QB is zero pocket presents. Like a Jewish boy on Christmas.

And that's Sheduer. He just back peddles in the pocket and does not ever step up or roll out to make someone miss. Compare that to someone like Ward who evades pressure at an elite level.

And then you see a lot of his picks this year were on throws that just didn't have any velocity. That is going to terrify GM's. You need Drew Brees level anticipation to overcome that.

Help me out. The season isn’t over. What am I missing?

Idk if anyone already posted but this article explains it. To summarize, UNCA doesn’t offer grad school so he was able to enter and commit despite the fact we’re mid-season.

Shedeur belongs in Cleveland. Loser belongs to a loser franchise.

Quit hyping Shadeur up.

Depends on MLB draft whether Edmondson shows up at Tennessee or not....

The Steelers do NOT take Shedeur


Kiper is taking it well.....View attachment 737977

He needs to let his hair go, that’s looking rough

There's a fine line between viral and villian. Self promotion and swagger can get people's attention, arrogance and over promotion gets you enemies. At some point the swagger has to be backed up with results or you just become a fraud, as is SS.

America sold 18.2 million tomatoes last year.

And only 250 lbs of mustard seeds.



The numbers don't lie.

17.8 million of them tomatoes were pasta sauce and ketchup on French fries. Not Hot Dogs.

I've always thought he looks like somebody but could never put my finger on it, but it just hit me.

Does anyone else see a resemblance to Tee Martin??

 

[barrylee]

I didn't get to watch draft last night, was Pearce at the draft or was he home?

Can't imagine being at the draft and not getting picked. Cameras constantly on you ala Levis.

Burden isn't as small as you think he's about 205-210.

Speaking the truth. My burden is heavy.
