Deep, c’mon now. Please tell me which media outlets or personalities trashed Stet any worse than they would any other QB that was struggling. Because from my memory, he only got harsh criticism from the media when his play warranted it.

I'm curious if Stetson will try to make a go at the NFL. I'm guessing at this point he may give it a go and be a 4th or 5th round pick. I keep thinking about Flutie when I think of Stetson. Flutie started in CFL but ended up being a pretty good QB in the NFL. Stetson is short but like Flutie has great mobility. I don't think he will go into the media lol. He could get a good PR person and make a deal to sell his story. Then he could go into some type of entrepreneurial venture. I think Stetson could get some good advice from Zeier, Greene, Murray, and Hutson and how to parlay his time at UGA into a career.


For selfish reasons, I want him to be a UDFA so everyone can shite on him all over again, and he can begin part II of his saga and end up with back to back Superbowl rings in 5 years.

Flutie was drafted by and played for New England before the CFL.

Nah, it morphed from him being too short, to only a game manager, to can’t win a shoot out, to not being a NFL QB, to being selfish to the program for staying his final year, to him being too cocky, to him being too old. If he was 6’2” and a 5 star, most of the bullshite we heard about him would never have been said. I just don’t understand why he got so much hate.

Not even a week from back to back natl championships, and people have already found something to be miserable about.

And it’s the tiniest fake non-existent/misunderstood shred possible that’s enabling it

Quick: Someone list some benefits to society that the internet has brought. I’m having trouble outweighing them from clown world times

Well, this is false. He was never accepted by media after Arkansas or other victories in 2020.
He wasn't accepted in 2021 after whipping on UAB.
He wasn't accepted in 2021 after great games against Kentucky or Missouri.
The narrative was that the shoe was going to drop. He wouldn't be able to win the big one (despite wins over several ranked teams). The defense carried him (despite first half stats that were top 5 in the country).

Hell... even after winning the national championship, the narrative was that it couldn't be repeated. And despite his great 4th quarter, look at what preceded it.

Instantaneous transmission and "free" sharing of ideas.

Also a negative.

We have to accept the good with the bad.

Or, we can just call for the gunment to regulate it...oops. Too late.

It's like some people need Stetson to hate the fans.

He was clearly referencing the media, and here people are, defending the media.

Lulz.

I love this shite.

If you charted a graph showing where society accelerated into clown world insane buffoonery, wouldn’t it coincide and match up perfectly with internet connected world wide evolution ?

(Side point: Kind of like how when vaccine/ boosters given began it matches up with increased sudden death phenomenon? Like a glove?)

There were people that had him ranked outside of the top 5 SEC QBs coming into this season.

Sure, but your data set is flawed.

Pre internet, you could only assume that 75-95% of humanity were idiots. Now, we have the data go back that up.

We have always, largely, been an uninformed/misinformed/retarded species.

Kind of like the whole "these kids today" bullshite.

Kids today, aren't really that different from us in the 90s. We all had our quirks, and thought we knew more than than any other generation.

But, we didn't have cellphones or the internet with which to display our ignorance.

Or more importantly, tell us we were right, validate our ignorance, and drag us further down the path of Lucifer.

On3 did a podcast within the past 30 days where they argued that 50% of college football teams wouldn't take Stet over their current starter.

Oh. I can't speak to this. I didn't get jabbed, but not due to an adversion to vaccines. I've been vaccinated plenty.

I just don't like being told what to do at "gunpoint" (threat of job loss), especially when it comes from a rushed, and largely untested, "cure".

I'm not sure if there is a correlation with deaths and the vaccines. But I'm not sure that there isn't, either.

I don’t think it’s just about the internet highlighting and magnifying human flaws that have always existed

My hypothesis is that the internet is a human-engineered disease vector. Designed to make clown viruses more contagious to do what viruses do. Spread and infect brains.

The same technology used to tinker with the Covid deal that got out

Do yourself a favor and don't take a deep dive into AI tech.


It reminds me of a Porno For Pyros song. I will bump the WGSB thread with it.

Radio and television were used in the same fashion, with far more limited access to broadcast ability.

I'll take the internet over both, if only because I can still find my tribe and pow wow, for now.

I get your argument, and it's valid. But I'm far more concerned with the attempts to regulate it, to cut off the ability of the common man to freely access and share his or her ideas.

Technology doesn't scare me. What scares me is when technology isn't freely accessible, either through the regulatory environment or ip claims.

That shite is bogus, dude.
