What do y'all think about Liner? He seemed to have a lackluster performance the whole week in Orlando. Just wondering if I'm butthurt or he's just a little overrated.

Haha I think its a really good question. I always wonder about kids from that area because I just dont see the level of football being the same as B'ham or especially Mobile. Based on film he isn't first tier (ie Nkemdiche, Jones, etc) but hes a solid pickup.

I don't think the question with him is talent as much as whether he has the drive to play hard every down and learn the techniques he'll need to be a difference maker.

Best guess he'll either wash out in 1-2 years after getting in Saban's doghouse or he locks in and turns into a 2 year starter with NFL upside. Totally up to him.
