It's a passing league, not a running league these days.
This logic is so weird because he’s going to a bad team regardless whether he comes out in 2024, 2025, 2028, 2037, 2067, 3021, etc. It’s the same flawed logic the other guy presented. If it’s not Fields & Kyler “struggling” to get him the ball, it’ll be Bailey Zappe/Mac Jones or Daniel Jones or Sam Howell or Aidan O’Connell, etc, the list goes on.
Texas A&M boosters paid $75 million to fire their headcoach. FSU boosters paid Willie Taggart $25 mill to fire him after a single full season. It's a very good time to be a billionaire and nowhere is that more apparent than in the college football world. Boosters have the money and are more than ready to spend it. The guys behind big college programs have just as much money as NFL owners.
I would argue that it is kinda transitioning back to a running league based upon the style of defense being run. You have to be able to throw, but being able to run the ball is more important than ever to generate consistent offense.
Maybe, but it's not a run-first league.
What is AJ Hawk like on the course? Love that dude
Carolina doesn't have a 1st round pick, Chicago owns it.
When everyone else zigs, it's a good time to zag! Or just be the Niners.
Well, two things: eventually you run out of eligibility so you have no choice... and right now he has eligibility. Second, there are teams at the bottom of the draft sometimes that just had poor luck, or a team can move up. Like, even in this year's top 10 as the standings go today, you can't tell me that he wouldn't rather be going to the Jets with a presumably healthy Aaron Rodgers throwing to him, or LA with Justin Herbert and a new head coaching staff. Not to mention the major endorsement offers coming in markets like LA or NY.
You don't know this. Also, Rodgers for like....ONE year? Sure I guess. If the Chargers want to do that despite needing a complete makeover on defense then that's their perogative.
You sound like a basketball fan that wants young promising prospects to play for the Lakers or Knicks because it's "better for the NBA".
It's funny cause you can say the same thing about every bad team ever.
Wexner has little to do with the sports at OSU. He's more into the arts and, along with his wife, the medicine side of things. Schottenstein's, who the b-ball arena is named after, are big on the sports side.
I'm not necessarily arguing for THIS year, I mean any given year. The Jets and Chargers were just two examples of teams that have more ideal setups for a young WR, and next year it'll be someone else. Unfortunately the Cardinals are proving themselves to be a bad organization that doesn't have the willingness (or ability) to pay to be one of the best. The Bears have a better overall organization, but have struggled to make a mark in the last decade.
See above though. Does it matter if he's great? Matt's living a pretty great life overall. Made tens of millions of dollars, enjoyed the LA celebrity life early on, and now is an analyst on College Football Saturdays making hundreds of thousands of dollars. He's a national champion and Heisman winner. What more "greatness" does one really need?
and he is on video having a foursome in a hot tub with three cute college girls...Matt is a legend
That would be akin to taking Levi Brown instead of Adrian Peterson. Trying to get cute instead of going BPA
Nah. Levi was a reach at 5 and 2nd/much lower rated OT in the draft. Taking the Penn St. tackle might be more akin to taking Joe Thomas over AP, which was a defendable decision.
The point is taking a position over talent is a mistake. Its all about the BPA. I don’t think there’s any experts that have the Penn State tackle as a better overall prospect/talent than Harrison.
