I think it was you that got me on his bandwagon and hoping we would draft him. I was disappointed we didn't and then put my support behind Corral. I still have a feeling Sam Howell will make a good pro and still wish we had grabbed him up but I certainly don't trust Rhule to have been able to develop him or Corral unfortunately.

Rhule doesn't know anything about the actual mechanics of football, he just shuffles guys in and out hoping someone plays well. Convincing college kids to focus instead of playing video games is a lot different than molding professionals into successful situations

I can’t wait to find out what the donkey brained reasoning was that made Howell slip in the draft 

Yeah I don't get it. Just before the college season, teams were supposed to "tank" for Howell. Hell, even some on this board didn't think we'd have a shot at Howell because we'd win too many games. And then one year later he slips to the 5th? Something ain't adding up.

I said before the draft that the Panthers fan in me wants us to draft him but the Sam Howell fan in me wants him to go pretty much anywhere else. 😂

    • Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
    • Well, we got our answer on Army today.
    • Not a chance the SEC could compete with the NFL.  In the large cities that are not in the Southeast, (LA, NYC, Chicago, SF) College football is an afterthought.
