Very very good post.
I was about to comment but you said it all. Out if those "4 best" only Kirby has won a championship with significant money being invested and Cristobal with B1G financial backing couldn't get the job done.
If Cignetti doesn't have those billionaires bankrolling him he isn't smelling a championship game talk much winning it all.
If we had a billionaire just buying players we'd have even crazier depth and talent and we're pretty good there.

He is just not a technically developed receiver despite three years of college coaching. Whatever they’re doing to unlearn the bad habits is not surviving contact with real game action. I choose to believe this is being coached against but he just can’t stop doing it. I hope that is true.
I hate to tell ya man, it's not being addressed by the coaches. Otherwise he just hasn't listened to them for 3 years. Idk which is worse

This just isn't reality. If you have played college ball before NIL you know it's a delect balance and even Saban knew when to push and when not to.
This guy (RW) knows he has a work ethic issue, knows he struggles to catch, etc etc
I'm quite sure the coaching staff have him watching him of his effort and others even in the league but this kid (RW) is an absolute mental midget and what they are doing is taking on the risk of this wild card because they feel the upside is great.
Every mistake he makes his effort drops. Watch how he starts games then after hus first drop, fumble or if he isn't getting the ball look at his body language. It's not diva, it's more mentally broken.
This is why it's important to have a man in the household. The kid has too many feminine influences and just like them he caves and gets broken when things get tougher. It's a shame because he is very talented

RCW had 2 drops and then went on to have 5 catches for 130 yards.

Well, watch a guy like Bernard who spent the most time with this staff as WR and was as complete of a receiver as you could ask for in the college game and tell me where you think the problem is most likely concentrated.

True. It was strange that the two drops were fairly easy catches, then he got hit pretty hard on the catches.
One thing about our receivers, there were several times they just ran their route to a spot and then just stood there with the defender standing next to them.. All of them. Our QB would start to scramble out of the pocket, and they are just standing there with their finger up their rear end. Our coach was asked at his press conference about that from a reporter and he told the reporter that yes he was correct. He said, we need to be moving when our QB starts to scramble, because he is very good at keeping his eyes down field while he moves, and those are the kind of situations where you can have a big play. If a reporter can pick up on that, surely our receivers coach can see it and know they need coaching?

That’s great but watching the video he is loafing all over the place. He is a captain of this team. You think the younger guys aren’t seeing this shite?

Yes and he also had a fumble on the second half. Care to tell us how his effort went after that?
Again, this isn't about using stat sheets, it's about watching the actual game and seeing the ebbs and flows

Said some of the same things last year - got eviscerated on here for not supporting him. By all accounts a great kid but the truth of the matter is he can do one thing - run after the catch. He's very high in the nation in drops and whomever thinks another receiver would not have made some of those 5 catches is simply ignoring the obvious. Routes are ordinary, drops the ball and for the most part doesn't have the physique or the will to block. But hey we always have his freshman Georgia game to dream about!

Some guys don't need correcting. That's great. Derek Meadows is running around out there giving 100% on every play.
The point is, for this to be an issue for RCW for 3 seasons, tells me the staff ISNT addressing it.
There have to be consequences. He should be running extra in practice - doing extra pushups - something. He needs to be called out in the team meeting.
There's no way the staff is doing all of this, Ryan isn't fixing it, and they just name him captain anyways. Use your brain. They're not saying shite about it.

The players voted for the captains.

Shh, that doesn't fit the narrative.

That shows that they approve of loafing. Long year if that's the case.

Looks like you'll have to jerk off to the thought of Sark being our coach now.
