  1. Jesus Christ, you are just the most miserable son of a bitch I've ever met. I honestly feel badly for you.
  2. Nope. I'm not talking about Quinn. But if we're talking reality, in reality, players rarely succeed in the NFL. For every one that succeeds there are literally dozens who get the chance and don't for some reason or another. Can it be taught? Yes, it can and I gave you two current examples. You want Ewers to fall into Leach's category of 'can't be taught' so badly that you'll ignore objective proof to the contrary.
  3. No? Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson are two *current* examples of how accuracy can be taught at the pro level. And every single NFL coach will tell you that pocket awareness can be taught. Will some be better than others? Of course. Can someone who has a different ceiling be taught to be as good as some natural talent like VY? No, but they sure as shit can be taught.
  4. There are physical and mental ceilings for everyone. That's genetics. You have a 6'0" 25-year-old? You can't teach him to be 6'5". You have an 11-100 14-year-old? Who knows if coaching will improve him or not? Technique may shave off half a second. Physical maturity may shave off another half second. Or he may have reached his ceiling at 14. Some kids' mental and physical abilities are synchronized at an early age. They get things right away. And some kids are physically capable and mentally capable, but aren't synchronized. They have to be taught. All Coach Leach is saying is that if someone isn't accurate in high school, he's probably not going to be accurate in college or the pros. He disagrees recruiting/drafting based on physical measurements alone. There are a lot of people who disagree with him. Aside from that, there are dozens of drills for pocket awareness and there are examples all over college and the pros of kids who succeeded or failed to make the mental and physical connection. For some it just clicks at some point. It's called the "game slowing down." For others it never does.
  5. Yep. Every successful QB is just born accurate and aware, and there are no drills or coaching techniques for it and never were. Nailed it.
  6. Cool, man. Cool. Have a great weekend.
  7. He was around 16 when he chucked it 80ish yards. Back in the day the video was on maxpreps.com. Then tOSU put one out on IG or Twitter of him throwing about 80ish when he was there. You can probably still find those videos everywhere through a Google search. Whatever happened seemed to have happened between 18 and 20, but it was clear he didn't have the same arm strength after the Bama game in 2023. It doesn't look like he's capable of throwing more than maybe mid-60s now except maybe once in a blue moon, and it's looked that way since early two seasons ago. And VY is a weird comparison. He had that weird wind up and almost shot put motion. VY had to have been really muscling it to get over 70ish. It probably would have been more apt to shit on 14-year-old Ewers by comparing him to Roethlisberger, who threw that 80+ yard incompletion 5 or 6 years ago that was all over Sportscenter for a while. It's harder to believe that 14-year-old Ewers threw 80 yards if Roethlisberger and his perfect throwing motion at 6'5" threw 80 yards at the farthest. It's stuff like this that really makes it difficult to engage you civilly. There's easy-to-find video out there of Ewers doing these things, but you decided to insult people instead of fact-checking yourself.
  8. Sure we do. Both BOW and Derka have pointed out some just for Ewers on this thread, and it's not unusual to hear on Sportscenter or wherever that the QB checked into the wrong play, misread the coverage, didn't see the LB spying, or didn't read the DE dropping back into the passing lane or what have you, leading to an incompletion, punt, TO, TOD, or Pick 6 or whatever. "Simply didn't see him" or "threw right into the coverage" or whatever. I mean, literally all season long every season we hear that shit.
  9. I would think a lot of that is dependent on the product on the field. If Texas is 11-0 or 10-1 heading into that game, a lot of students will postpone Thanksgiving.
  10. There's a viral TikTok of a battle simulation of 10k gorillas laying waste to a million unarmed men. The men were able to take out about 600 gorillas.
  11. No. That didn't happen. Only the bad things happened. And the bad man did them to these guys personally.
  12. It's nitpicking, but it's actually 23. 12 last year and 11 the year before. Generally the playoff teams, not just the champ, have had a ton drafted.
  13. True. Both '24 and '25 Texas are on the list and both '24 UW and '25 tOSU are on the list. Know who isn't? '25 UW and '24 tOSU. Neither made the playoffs in those years.
  14. Story of this thread. Sure, most over two years but not most in either year and both teams that beat us had a ton of players drafted. Only 36 teams have ever had double-digit draftees and both teams are on that list.
  15. Sure. None of these guys still talk about Applewhite/Simms.
  16. Miltenberg is legit and this isn't his first rodeo. I don't know the guy but I attended a CLE several years back where he was one of the speakers and chatted with him for a while during the break between sessions. I got the sense that he doesn't represent persons who are guilty, but only he or his clients would know for sure.
  17. Why? Sounds like a perfectly lawful method of creating bias in the jury pool.
  18. Agree. $100k was a low-ball opener to provoke them into a counter. And all he was asking for was to allow him to invest in her business the way Tanya wanted, while they extort millions to not say anything about his whereabouts. His statements about just wanting to be left alone were pretty ambiguous.
  19. This is the most believable part, to me, having worked with people with unusual amounts of money. $5M doesn't make a shit of a difference to them if it's something they really want. And he was probably laughing inside at the "research" that led to the $500M calculation. What's in the public eye is the tip of the iceberg. His yacht was probably $20M give or take by itself, maybe more. What does he care about $5M? And he knew as soon as she accepted it that both her son and her were going to jail for extortion if they ever squeaked out a word...and all they had was his location anyway.
