Now do baseball national championships…

quote:

Hurts spent 1 year at Oklahoma so he had a new coach too.

---

Absolutely correct, but that offense was stacked and had more consistency with players and coaching than Bama's this year.

quote:

---

No they're not. Milroe isn't nearly the passer Hurts is. It's not even close.

---

Hurts was inconsistent as a passer in college and occasionally in the NFL, but I'm more comparing their physical measurables not their passing ability/polish.

quote:

---

No he can't. Guys who can't throw in college don't suddenly get great in the league.

---

Systems change and QBs develop. Hurts has definitely developed as a passer under Moore. Milroe makes some great throws. His arm and accuracy are very good at times, but his decision making and ability to throw receivers open are his weakness. I think that's where his inconsistency is and it can hopefully be improved if the Saints go that route.

I'm not a huge fan of Milroe because of everything you've pointed out, but also not opposed to drafting him if they don't need to reach for him.

This is a good+ NFL O-Line if Banks pans out!

Kellen Moore is hopefully seeking to build a Philly-like O-line to build around the running game/Kamara if healthy. They will likely snag a QB comparable to Jalen Hurts who can run effectively when needed and make the throws necessary to move chains.

I'm not a huge fan of Milroe because his accuracy is inconsistent, but I thought the same thing about Hurts and he's proven me wrong. Seems like the Saints will get value today on defense with some top prospects likely to fall to them (Michigan CB, Marshal DE...) then possibly scoop up Milroe later. The dude is big, strong and fast! If they take him and if he can get more consistent passing under Kellen Moore like Hurts, it may be a Philly type offense 2.0!

It's infuriating. People in newish cars still holding and looking down at their phones. Turning right at a snail's pace.

If I see one more person texting and driving, I'm gonna roll my window down and throw my beer at them!

Any recommendations for family friendly (7yo, 14yo, 15yo) all inclusive in Cancun! Looking for something that's not outrageous expensive and has good activities for young teenagers and a 7 year old. I've been searching and trying to figure it out, but there are so many options that I'm hoping someone can narrow it down and give me some clarity. I definitely don't want to book a dud, so I'd rather up the budget a little than settle for something crappy. So far my top 2 are:

Beach Palace
Melia Casa Maya Cancun

Anyone know if these are decent? Or if there are better options in the same type of price range.
Of course there are better options that double the cost, but looking for a quick getaway from April 19-23 that is budget friendly.

“LSU was clicky, no bonding”.

Says the guy who transferred twice.

Maybe you should look in the mirror.

It looked like he bonded with the DBs covering him though.

quote:

---

They should lie in wait and then check the price of all their targets a week before ESD. Then we can buy the players we can afford and avoid the decommitting embarrassment. Instead of losing half the class, we will be "stealing" a bunch of guys from other classes and we will look good.

---

Not a bad idea! Lock in some of the local, "sure thing" 3-4 star kids and wait to offer the big fish! If you miss, it's not really a loss/flip, and you can show the kids a lot of love who are committing to LSU for more than just NIL money.

IMHO, LSU should also focus on paying veteran players to stay! Having experienced, upperclassmen like Garrett Nussmeier coming back would be HUGE. I know he didn't have the best year, but you can clearly see his talent and that his teammates love him. If he can clean up a few things, he could have a similar process to success as Joe Burrow (not saying he will be Burrow, just a similar 1st year upperclass starter to 2nd year veteran starter process). Emery Jones, Mason Taylor, Aaron Anderson, Harold Perkins... If all of these experienced guys with remaining eligibility come back, LSU will be fine next year and buy some time to find more talent in the portal and ease some of the portal losses and misses with HS recruits.

:lol:

I'm having a crisis at the moment! I always thought I was Gen X!!! I am a freaking Boomer!


:banghead:

You are correct. I always looked at 1980s kids as Gen Xrs.

When I looked at Wikipedia, I misread it.

quote:

---

Boomer means anyone over 40

---

I guess it could mean that as a garbage can term to all young people, but really Boomers are people in their later 40s and over 50. Early 40s are Gen X.
