and thank you very much for sending over Burton. I'm really excited about his potential with a heisman QB returning!
Burton was a great pickup for Alabama. very talented. And as I have said many times in many threads... I would have given the Heisman to Will Anderson, but if not him, then Bryce Young was a good choice.
Now I will try to unhook this young whippersnapper that thinks 41 years old is old.
Seriously. How old are you?

Look. You said once that I responded to you when you never said anything to me. But what you left out was AlaCowboy wasn't talking to you when he posted.
This is irrelevant. I never said you (or anyone else) couldn't to me. I just was hoping for AlaCowboy to respond given what I put.

So your reasoning is that if a Georgia poster makes a post to anybody about Alabama, then you can come on and respond to them and take shots at Georgia....but Georgia fans can't do the same.
False. Never said nobody can post. I said don't cry about it when Bama fans respond. You continue to cry for whatever reason, you old rebel you.

Annnnnd we've lost you. Never said you couldn't respond, but rather one should respond accordingly or risk being made a fool of (that's you). As soon as you clarified that you were old enough to have actually seen 2 UGA national championships, I explained why the bait wasn't for you and tried to get you off my hook. You chose to stick around, so I've tried to entertain myself while attempting to explain over and over, and yet you keep failing to understand what took place.

Like I said....it's right there.
I find it odd you say this and somehow haven't gone back to actually read it carefully yourself. If you had, you'd realize your errors. Other people have already commented explaining that you aren't understanding the content correctly. They can see I can't get the hook out of your mouth and they've wandered over to help. However, it's like everyone else is wrong apparently, and your way is the ONLY way. You're definitely 64 lol

You're obviously confused about how trolling and who's baiting who here. Then again you've repeatedly failed to accurately describe the exchange that's taken place. Maybe you are trolling me lol
Also even if someone is 41, doubtful they can remember 1980, which is why I suggested someone be 45 or older to be outside the demographic of my original troll attempt. I won't outright say my age, but I've only been alive for 1 UGA national championship. I've left other context clues in this exchange as to what my age range would be.

Lie is a strong way to classify a difference of opinion.
I think - my opinion - that Alabama will find a handful of capable contributors amongst the WRs they already have on campus. I agree that it seems that nobody on campus has immediately grabbed people's attention like Waddle or the 2017 trio but I disagree that all is lost and they can't become meaningful contributors in the offense. The staff was looking for a transfer because there is a degree of "unknown" at the position but I think it is a bit hasty to say the situation is a cataclysm.

were probably the best 4 wide receivers on one team ever in the SEC, and all 1st round draft choices, so it's probably not reasonable to compare these young receivers with The Fab 4.

You didn't say this?
My initial response (which wasn't even to you) pointed out the fact that Saban is THE best at winning national championships.
I replied to just one.
Then I replied to you when you lost your shite about my response.
I never replied to you, until you replied to me...unless you're admitting to being Alacowboy.
Those at least insinuated (at the very least) that since you were not talking to me it was none of my business.
Which in turn seems rather funny since you said this:
I said if you want to come at a Bama fans sideways, don't be surprised when you get roasted in return for being devoid of success for the better part of the last half a century.
Odd. You can talk crap about Georgia and we should not respond, yet we can't "come at Alabama sideways" or face your wrath. Odd the hoops you are trying to jump through.

No, it was a response to some rambling that “the vast majority of UGA fans” had been respectful and “only one or two” were popping off. I was clarifying that my response was not aimed at respectful UGA fans, but rather the outliers you mentioned. Ultimately, it’s not that it wasn’t “your business,” it’s that the bait wasn’t meant for you. I attempted to explain this once you made it clear you wanted it known this was your 2nd in your lifetime, but you stayed pissed anyway and became collateral damage

Well you somewhat got it right so maybe we’re making a little progress
“Don’t cry when Bama fans bring that same energy” doesn’t mean you can’t respond. Not sure why you keep saying this or how to that’s been your continued comprehension. It means if you take a shot at Bama, Bama fans will likely target you, and given our team’s unprecedented level of success we’re in a unique position to troll pretty much all opposing fans (yes, even UGA). Thank you for spending 4 pages proving me correct lol

I get what you are saying, based on the Championship game....but....all the receivers (or at least most) were highly rated receivers that almost every other school wanted, too. They did not perform in that game, but my guess is the younger players did not get as much playing time/experience as they used to due to blowout games you guys are used to having.
Burton is a great addition. Honestly he tended to get dinged up bit every year (it seemed) but he is very talented and will help out. If he stays healthy I think he will be your new Metchie.
No. I base what I said on the entire season. We were begging for guys to step up and we've never had a problem playing young WRs. We have a load of mis-evaluations at WR that we're dealing with. Watch the portal after the Spring and you'll see.

That's why I'm not sentencing the group of players at WR still on campus as busts just yet. Alabama had an unbelievably high hit rate at that position that is unsustainable even by good talent evaluators. Alabama has had streaks like that at a variety of positions over this era. The more realistic expectation is you get one difference maker every class. That was sorta the tempo at WR for most of the Saban era up until 2017...and it is probably the case afterwards too. Waddle in '18. Metchie in '19. '20 looking very likely to be a big miss though unless Holden emerges...fortunately the portal exists and they're getting a '20 class WR to fill in the gap. I'm not low on the '21 class yet because I don't think they got a fair shake because the path to getting to the CFPCG required two WRs getting a ton of touches.

True. I see that High-Tide has responded, so I will drop this and let him have the last say.

Then all the coaches at the major football playing programs that recruited them, plus all the recruiting sources mis evaluated them too because tha 2021 class was rated the top class, with the #2, #5, #6, and #10 rated receivers in the nation.
It's a heck of a coincidence if that many major college coaches were wrong. OR, it could be that they were true freshmen playing behind upperclassmen, at least one of which will be yet another #1 NFL pick, and Metchie might be as well.
The Fab 4 of the 2017 and 2018 classes have skewed the perspective of Alabama fans as to what a true freshman should accomplish.
edit to link the source, but as noted, they were offered by nearly all the best coaches too... 247 COMPOSITE
The 247Sports Composite combines player ratings from 247 Sports, Rivals and ESPN
oh yeah, and another prudent point is that the awesome 2017 class of Smith, Jeudy, and Ruggs practiced all year with the true freshman quarterback, Tua Tagovailoa. So they were all very familiar with each other, so when they had their coming out party in the 2nd half vs UGA in the title game, they were all in synch and knew the tendencies of each other. These freshmen didn't get that chance to work with Young the way those receivers worked with Tua all that year That is a huge difference.
edit too: And as far as I know, this topic is still that Burton has transferred from UGA to Alabama. Welcome Mr. Burton. I hope you have a great season next year.

Alabama has done pretty well recruiting receivers over the years if you have reasonable expectations. You’re not going to have a future all-pro receiver in every class but Alabama usually has at least one productive college receiver in every class. Ardarius Stewart may not have been a star but he was a big factor in the 2015 and 2016 offenses. DeAndrew White was no better than a 2nd option but he was productive in several seasons.
