  1. Not just that, but development on the fringes of recruiting classes is very important. Turning 3 star types like Murphy/Sweat, Chris Olave, Jordan Davis and Ladd McConkey into Day 1 guys can push a talented program over the edge. That said, the name of the game is still stacking your team with stud top 20 guys that require minimal development to contribute at a high level. 

    Seems like putting 3 stars in the league would be a mix of good evaluations and development, not necessarily just development
  2. The only franchise that has won more games than the Cowboys the last 3 years is KC

    Sounds like a great organization to play and root for, they must have a sharp owner with really happy fans

  3. I feel like he made more shit happen for himself and the team today than he ever has before, in terms of buying more time with awareness and getting to second and third reads. Some good scrambling too.

    Dude balled the fuck out today. In the most consequential game of his career.

    Minus like 2-4 bad throws, one of which was really bad.

    This offense is so dangerous with him on like this.

  4. If we are going to use results from previous seasons, lets throw the 2019 Sugar Bowl into the mix.  It is every bit as relevant.  

    To be clear, I’m not saying I think Georgia should get a spot if they lose. The “shoulds” don’t matter because the committee doesn’t have a transparent process and can do whatever the fuck they want with 4-7 teams on Sunday and don’t have to answer to anyone. The SEC bias is real and I don’t know why anyone would consider the committee immune to it.

    Trying to think of whether I can remember another potential threepeat scenario that was milked dry for ratings ahead of a national championship game…
  5. Again, whether it had nothing to do with Texas, it was subhuman intelligence to do that the day before playing Texas in it's last Big XII title appearance.

    Also, the reactions along the lines of “Why would anyone think this has anything to do with Texas?! It obviously doesn’t.” are not exactly shining displays of intellectual prowess.

  6. What "great fucking receivers" are in the portal? Only ones with decent numbers I've heard about announcing recently are Kris Mitchell and Deion Burks. USC and Notre Dame are each losing one to the portal, but they haven't shown anything. But my point wasn't that we wouldn't get any, it was that Ewers would be starting over with an entirely new pass-catching group.

    The portal hasn’t even officially opened yet genius. Only grad transfers thus far.

  7. I understand the rationale from Texas fans saying that we could/should go over a 1-loss Bama SEC champ, but you’d have to completely disregard the SEC bias of the last 10-15 years and there’s just no chance the committee does that.

    There would be a lot of commentary on Texas getting a raw deal, but it wouldn’t change anything. There is no chance the SEC champ misses the playoffs this year. There’s a better chance that Georgia goes instead of Texas even if Georgia loses than Texas going over Bama if Bama wins. The SEC bias is the strongest influence in CFB.

    You are so winning this thread dude. Keep up the fantastic work and go take a look in the mirror and tell yourself “you got this bro, the world needs you to plant this flag”. We’re all better off for your contributions here.

    He’s not the best QB we’ve ever had and he certainly could’ve had a better season. He’s also made some great plays and had some gutty performances on the way to an 11-1 season and is going to get drafted and have a chance to play in the NFL whether it’s after this season or next.

    Maybe just relax and let people hype up their qb if they want. Or be a threadshitter admonishing everyone and acting like you’re a superior fan for pointing out and harping on our players’ flaws while we’re having our best season in 14 years, whatever. I guess you must get something out of it to keep doing it.

  9. He’s gutting it out hurt and making some very very good throws and missing some guys. He missed half his junior year, skipped his senior year and got hurt two times in his two years starting. He’s started something like 30 games since his sophomore year of high school. 
    he’s gonna be fucking awesome if he comes back next year. He’s currently a very good quarter back that will likely be a Heisman finalist next year. 
    Some of yall need to eat less paint chips.
