The one and dones just don't do much for me. Let them go straight to the NBA. Get rid of that rule. I honestly think that rule was largely a knee-jerk reaction to that disastrous 2001 draft class that saw Kwame Brown, Tyson Chandler, and Eddy Curry go 1, 2, 4 straight of HS and all bust. Chandler ended up developing into a good defensive big man but it took years of development and he was never close to worth his draft position and he was by far the best of that highly touted HS "phenom" class.

Yeah, it's just dumb. Everything is year to year. I never understood how anyone could stay engaged as a Kentucky fan or duke fan as duke became a one and done factory like Calipari made Kentucky. The thing I liked at about UNC is that we primarily focused on recruits likely to play multiple years. We'd have pur occasional one and done but most of our pros still played multiple years. And the days of the Stackhouses, Wallace, Jamison, Carter, etc. playing multiple years is just over. And now you have your role players entering the portal every year to test the waters elsewhere. I don't blame them for looking out for themselves but just personally speaking I'll run out of interest quickly trying to get to know a whole new roster year over year.

You think we'll have an important late season game? That's bold.

Yeah, he's revitalized that Tennessee football program but his offense so far while producing on Saturdays isn't translating into skill position players that are producing on Sundays. That's not a knock on him. His job is to win college games. But it is something to keep in mind on draft day and it probably had a lot to do with why a guy with Brazell's measurables and production was available in the 3rd round. 1000+ yards and 9 TDs with his measurables usually means 1st round. But there's a lot of concerns with Tennesee WRs having very limited route trees and QBs having very simplified reads. Works in college but hasn't been translating to the NFL.

This is a complete poo show for the Pats. At this point I guess they just gotta hope that this thing largely runs it's course as a major media topic through the offseason. The absolute shamelessness of these two is just astounding. I feel terrible for their spouses and kids.

It was a big risk. I hope he's over his injury issues. I also hope he relearns how to tackle. He's a damn good cover corner but he ain't Deion Sanders level where he can get away with matador tackling.

Dude seems to be enjoying taking a losing argument and just arguing for argument's sake and pretending that he's winning. This could also be referred to as delusionally making an ass of oneself.

The Hurney special, converting non-guaranteed salary to guaranteed bonus so you can spread it out across the contract. If he stays healthy it'll be a good move. But that's a big IF given his history.

The gossip regarding the other team's coach is fuging hilarious though. LOL

Yeah, I don't see it with Simpson. Honestly not Mendoza either in terms of a #1 overall type pick. I honestly think he has borderline top 10 NFL QB type potential. Which is he achieves that he'll probably be worth the pick.

I said leading up to the draft that Bryce looked like the typical great college QB who simply doesn't have what the NFL is looking for and goes as a mid-round flyer to a team drafting him as a backup but hoping he can prove them wrong. I never looked at Bryce and saw a 1st rounder much less a #1 overall.

Yeah, that OL is trash and it's definitely not helping.

Definitely valid. Good one.

On the field? Since I guess it qualifies as multiple instances it might not count, but have the damn refs throw some flags on illegal hits to Cam's head in SB50. If that doesn't count, 1A. Cotchery caught it 1B. Kasey keeps that kickoff inbounds. Off the field? 1A. Team is sold to anyone but Tepper 1B. We have the patience not to mortgage the franchise on that Bryce trade. Stroud would've been the better pick but he's not worth it either.

I mean, at least Bryce seems like a good dude. If someone is gonna fleece the Panthers and doom us to purgatory then damn it at least have it be a decent dude. Kinda like Luke Bryan. Yes, his music polluting the airwaves is awful but I had a buddy who worked I. The music industry in Nashville for years and he always said Luke Bryan was the genuinely nicest most down to earth guy in the biz. So yeah, somebody is gonna make a lot of money to sing that trash might as well be a good dude.
