I got very little of a high from the game. It was nice to see but it's not a real game. I need to see real games and then we can start figuring out what we have. I figure by week 5-7, what we have will be revealed.

Excellent. I agree. Now lets just watch it translate to real games. He will get ample opportunities to play as it is unlikely we see the guards stay healthy for 100% of the season. Maybe in the end he makes one of those contracts look very foolish. I'm okay with that.

Sure, at a place regarded as almost always having solid lines. Which, they also opted to let him walk too. Point being, maybe we just calm down and see some live reps before we start annointing GOAT status to a bunch of guys who have either never played here or have never been great here. I hope that turns out to be true but I would think after the past 6 years of this purgatory that people would be a little more tempered in their takes after.....one good preseason game.

The difference is that recent NFL history(10-15 years) has turned that old adage on its head. Most of the elite WR's in the NFL produced or became regarded as elite in their first two years in the league. There have been less of the 2-3 seasons of obscurity before having a big breakout kind of WR's. So he does have a point that if we don't get a pop after the first couple of seasons, it's very unlikely that we will. That isn’t to say he may not mature into a pretty good backup WR but that isn't the type of player you select in the first round. Unless someone really blows us away this season and sort of permanently buries him on our depth chart(which wouldn't be a net negative), these first two years will be kind of critical. He needs to show he isn't another TMJ.

Show your work on why Zavala and Nijman are good backups after one horrible season and one guy that has played zero snaps? BC I will give you. For that matter, name a great starter on the OL other than Moton? Did you forget that we are trotting out a guy that has never played center, two high priced free agent signings and a LT that was terrible last season? I get that we watched a good PRESEASON GAME AGAINST BUFFALO BACKUPS but let's not lose our minds here. Maybe take less of a swig of wild hyperbole and a big gulp of "wait and see."

Never been better??? Brother, that's one of the most insane statements I have ever seen on the Huddle. God bless you and may he have mercy on your soul.

The difference in college is that the fanbase has always had a much greater part of the future than professional franchises. Also, FSU fans are fuging insufferable. Ask them about leaving the ACC and you will see.

What happened? Well he was a five star HS QB that had always been a 3 star college QB. He didn't do anything wrong. He just is what he is.

Their wounds are very self inflicted. I have way less sympathy for college teams than professional teams.

fug them. They cried all postseason and offseason about how unfair it was to them. Well, look what all that crying got you. Enjoy your 7-8 win season.

TBH, 6 wins would be fuging amazing.

Welll....it is still preseason. Let's temper our expectations a bit. Great to see, nonetheless.

You gotta be fuging kidding me. Thiccer Kicker, get him on the line.

At the end of the day, we are arguing over guys that are likely to have under 250 yds receiving for the season, so it's isn't likely to matter much.

IDK about TMJ's potential. At this point he has probably reached it.

Remember, ISM and Moore play special teams and TMJ doesn't. Things like that matter in cut scenarios.

IDK. Moore counterpunched with that 2 pt. I think the severity of ISM's injury is going to determine a lot.

Cap hit will assure Sanders of a spot this season.

I think he saw it coming. Good that he has the competitive spirit to battle.

TMJ trying to rally.

Well, why is he able to hit all these other guys? He does have 84 yards passing. We had 154 yards passing in the first half.

TMJ/Mingo/XL: 1 Rec, 3 yds. Wow.

Whoa buddy. Don't disrespect JJ or Moton.

And on cue he doesn't make a play. Not a good throw, obviously.

No. Lol. Literally half of us here said that. RB's are a dime a dozen. No reason to spend CMC money or even Miles Sanders money on one. Also no reason to use a 2nd rounder on one.
