Not too concerned about Rocket. RBs are easily replaced unless you're talking about a Dmac or Bo Jackson. Rocket is not that.
When he gets touched he goes down or gets injured.

Did he get hurt in 2022? I thought he was a top back in college football?
Just because he is leaving doesn't mean you have to act sour.
Best RB we've had in a decade is leaving, it stings. But we have earned that, and he has earned better than we can offer. Is what it is.

I'm not sour at all. Something changed with him this year. May be a weight problem or attitude problems, I don't know, but I wish him good luck.

Or something changed in our shite program. We failed him, not the other way around.
Rocket still has 3rd-5th rd draft projections right now, even after a wasted to injury season where he came in with a first rd mock and several 2nds.
Indeed, best of luck. I think he'll land somewhere good and end up in the NFL regardless.

Agree with you here, but my issue is that great players still put it all on the line.
He may have seen it before us fans realized, but he seemed checked out this year from the start.
I do wish him the best though unless it's against us.

Hard to put any lipstick on any of this. It's a bad look for the program.

Yeah you could tell he was a shell of himself this year. Just zero burst and seemed to fumble more than he did before. Definitely needs to get back around 220.

I don’t get all the QB bullshite, Criswell looked more than serviceable. Did we miss on all the recruits we brought in?
The bombs are cool but every winner is mostly a check down warrior. Tom Brady didn’t throw bombs. Tyler Wilson here didn’t throw bombs. We don’t need uncle Rico or Ryan Mallett throwing it over the hills.
We need a bunch of big strong dudes to keep the mongols from passing our walls and giving dude time to throw.
Go get playable offensive linemen.

Odds are he is chasing the money, I don’t blame him. Get paid. Running backs only have 1 contract after college now that they are an after thought, unless they are a physical freak.
Could be like Drake Maye too, just trying to get paid and will come back. But we shouldn’t over pay for a running back, the NFL isn’t doing it.

Sluka's highlights don't really make him seem like a cannon arm type. Looks more like Lamar Jackson in terms of play style

Even if it's Criswell, you want to bring in someone to push him.
Singleton is anyone's guess at this point. KJ Jackson is going to be a true freshman.

Still looked pretty quick. I’m more worried of the joints and not being able to break tackles with the extra weight him and KJ put on.

I have just seen our fans jumping on every qb that joins the portal, I know our coaches aren’t doing that.

Rocket has a kid in Florida. Probably plays into his decision.

Malik Chavis in the portal. Another spot open.

How daggum sad is it that our top RB, this year, was our QB with 447 yards and an average of 2.8 per carry.
