Anybody pointed out that it should be "reined in" instead of "reigned in"? Vastly different meanings.

Why do people post shite like this outside of the OT? It’s a message board. Everyone here cares what everyone here says. And maybe he should care. Unless there is behind the scenes stuff it would br impossible to know about it appears he’s been getting bad advice for a long time. Instead of changing that and building mental toughness he leaves. This is a terrible lesson to teach young adults to prepare them for life. As for burton in the NFL, he has the raw talent but I doubt he makes it. It’s too late in the game to act like he must act now. He could be a project guy who needs a few years and explodes.


Discussing play on the field is one thing. Discussing how the players should think and judging it based on whether it matches up with your own thinking is another.

He, nor any other player, has to justify their decisions to anyone on a message board.

He wants more than 25 catches? How about actually blocking and running something more than 1 route.

Tell me you didn't watch JB7 without saying it in those words... Wow.

Come on! You can't just point it out. The right way to do it is to use the misspelled word in a sentence!
"I reigned in the horse". The response is: "The King reined over his people".

If JB comes to Bama, it will be an easy transition. All he has to do is just scratch off the Georgia logo from his playbook, workout schedule, etc.

No clue if he transfers to Alabama, but if he transfers to Alabama then he's clearly not looking to just be lazy and run 1 route.


Same at Ohio State. Be a complete receiver or get passed. Be complete and you’re in the first round.

Burton has played at 5 schools in the last 6 years. Maybe he likes to travel. New experiences and all that.

Burton is very good. Hate to see him go. His stats didn’t go up much freshman year to sophomore year largely due to injury and the offense being more run oriented with Stetson. Also, his position coach left. Without the injury issues this year I think he gets about 750 yards and is set up for a final year with 900ish. He isn’t a great blocker but does almost everything else well. Average size, good route runner, close to elite speed. I hope he doesn’t go to bama, but if he is leaving uga bama is probably the best decision for him. He will probably have 900 yards there next year if he goes to bama. UGA has had successes with guys like Tindall that have stuck around and not bounced from playbook to playbook. It was a good career decision for Tindall. Bama has several similar stories of guys that thought about transferring but made the decision to stay. These young men need people in their lives to advise them it isn’t always a good financial and life choice to transfer though.

Looks like someone hates the free market. There is a solution though: just pay the players and make 3 year commitments contractual.

Since you brought race into this. Maybe Burton looked at the statistics and wondered why there were two 3 star white guys who were getting more catches than him.

The portal giveth and the portal taketh away. I think it and NIL will turn CFB into a mini NFL and the sport will lose a lot of fan base because of it. College athletics were designed to be extra curricular activities for students, but only a small number of football and basketball players are in college for an education. I remember a time when most players attended a school because they loved the school. Now they pick the school that pays the most and their free to jump around like fleas on a hairless cat. Not good.

I am a Georgia fan and I have no idea which two 3 star white pass catchers he thinks caught more balls than Burton. The only guy that matches that description is McConkey. I guess facts don’t matter to Gator fans. I half don’t blame him though. Avoiding facts probably has made comparing the gator program trajectory to UGA’s easier to stomach.
