  1. Hopefully it's a sign we're not taking the LB from AZ with a torn ACL. Wish the kid luck.. just somewhere else.
  2. It seems obvious to just split into east/west divisions along the Mississippi/Alabama border. They'd be about as close to even as you could hope for, and all the major rivalries would stay intact. 7 divisional games and 2 cross divisional, so you play everyone every 4 years. Not perfect, but there is no perfect solution with super conferences.
  3. If Brady hadn't won another title he'd be off fishing somewhere.
  4. Belichick sucked as a GM. And he's 72, so you're gonna be stuck with his son in 2-3 years. No thanks. But if you're UNC I guess you don't have much to lose.
  5. He can be a career college QB.
  6. Obviously mobility is better than no mobility. I never said otherwise. I said you don't need hero ball from your QB if your team is good enough. If our team was slightly better (if we traded kickers, for example), we would've beaten the most dominant program in the sport the last 5 years with a 'statue' QB.
  7. Sark is attempting to build (and arguably already has) a roster that can compete with the UGAs of the world without relying on hero ball from the QB. That was the Mack formula, and we saw how it all fell apart when Gilbert ended up being a bust. We don't want to be the team that occasionally knocks off the Bamas/UGAs of the world, we want to become them. Otherworldly QB play would be nice, but with this defense we really just need like a 7/10. Unfortunately Quinn was about a 6.5 Saturday. If he makes a couple more throws we win.
  8. It's not just play calling, but also halftime adjustments. I'm assuming Milwee already plays a role in that, and it hasn't been great. Seems like we could do better. But it might be a step in the right direction.
  9. Sark's resume as an OC speaks for itself, but when you look at our second half performances this season (and throughout his tenure), there's clearly a problem on the headsets. Whether it's due to not seeing the entire field from the booth, or just be task-saturated, adjustments aren't being made. The question should always be 'What Would Saban Do?' He would hire an experienced OC (along with a shit ton of analysts) and fucking fix it. We'll see if Sark can put his ego aside and do that.
  10. Our ST problems come down to personnel. That's a Sark problem.
  11. I think we'll be fine at OL next year, although I wouldn't mind taking a transfer OT just for some experience. It's the 24/25 classes that concern me, specifically at tackle. We've signed 2 true OTs (Baker/Brooks) the last 2 cycles. If Goosby is one and done, we're almost certainly hitting the portal. Not a dire situation (like DT), but we need to crush it in 26 like we did in 22. It's the single biggest reason why we're finally good again.
  12. I think Brooks could be a monster. Not sure about the others. When it comes to OL development, half of them probably won't pan out (even with Flood). Which is why I'd like to see us take 5 every year. It's too important a position to put all your eggs in one basket. DL is a little more predictable, but you still need plenty of bodies so you can rotate guys. We look ok at edge, but we've fallen way behind on the interior.
  13. Wish we had more large humans these last 2 classes. Plenty of talent, but we're only "back" because of the big boys. Obviously Sark knows this. Gonna have to hit the portal hard.
  14. Yeah, that's what happened. We had no relationship, just swooped in and offered a bag. He wasn't committed to us for months or anything.
  15. As far as football accomplishments and prestige, aggy is not in the same universe as Texas, UF, or FSU. If UF/FSU are Peyton/Eli, Texas/aggy are Giannis/Thanasis.
  16. They're finally starting to get it.
  17. You only need one season of good film as an OT.
  18. We probably already were, but now we're definitely in no matter what.
  19. I agree that the deck is no longer stacked in their favor, but this was baaad. OU threw for 68 yards and dominated the game.
  20. I didn't post anything until the game was over but sure I guess.
  21. We're winning in spite of him. If you can't see that I don't know what to tell you.
  22. FIFY. He's the weak link of the entire team. If we just had average QB play we'd be the best team in the country.
  23. Portnoy isn't in the same stratosphere as Knight.
