re: Name the only SEC Team that didn't suffer one Spring Portal Transfer.

The first step to recovery after a major transition from 17 years of stability is to stop the bleeding. I see this as a very positive sign that this is now DeBoer’s team. Anyone disgruntled has had plenty of opportunity to leave.

re: Jalen Milroe already decided to LANK in Seattle

His upside is Hurts or Jackson, but his current reality is not even at an NFL backup level.
Totally agree, but his elite upside at QB is kind of like the upside of drafting a gold medal olympic sprinter at WR. Yes he would be an all time great if he learned to be an above average NFL passer, but the gap from where he is to that is as wide as teaching NFL level football to a sprinter who has never stepped on a grass athletic field.
And what makes this so difficult for him and the Seahawks is elite runner + poor passer = terrible QB and offense. There is no gradual phase in where his legs buy him enough time to learn passing on the job. At bare minimum he has to get to competent passer level in practice before they can put him on the field in live game passing downs.
Hurts got a year at OU under Riley against Big 12 defenses to learn to throw and build confidence. Lamar Jackson won a heisman because he could run and throw. Milroe was downright bad and regressing throughout the 24 season with talent advantages surrounding him that he will never get in the NFL.

Then they completely misjudged the situation. Jalen has already tweeted out "Belt to azz." I don't think he's going to be intimidated by Darnold, nor should he. He's in a great place to get his feet wet and watch Sam Darnold try to duplicate something he has failed at many times elsewhere. I like his positioning a lot.
The absolute worst scenario for Milroe would be him needing to start this season at any point. He is not remotely close to ready to read NFL defenses or play with the accuracy and touch required. I agree this is a great situation for him in Seattle with a starter already in place but not so entrenched he has no chance to ever replace him.
Practice hard, spend more time in film than anyone on the team, and try to beat Darnold next year or maybe late this season if Darnold is awful. But shut up with all this belt to arse and being graded as the top QB in the draft.
His last college game looked like DeBoer threw the 4th string HB in at QB.

Why would Milroe say something like that out loud? Seattle didn’t seem to appreciate him saying it or getting caught off guard by having to address it with media right after drafting him.
They want their 3rd round backup project QB coming in humble and not thinking he was brought in to compete with Darnold right away.
re: Is Ewers the biggest example so far of NIL failure?
Posted by MillerLiteTime on 4/27/25 at 6:57 am
I hate NIL but Ewers is the poster child of NIL success. He was a very good college QB that led his team to back to back playoffs. Texas got what they paid for. His draft status is irrelevant to Texas. Also, Ewers got to make some money in college since his game didn’t translate to millions in the NFL. Win/win.
Nico is the poster for NIL failure. Tennessee invested a ton and got screwed. NIL drove Nico to make poor decisions which will limit his development and NFL potential. Lose/lose.

re: Kiper is lying about She Sanders
Posted by MillerLiteTime on 4/27/25 at 6:48 am
Kiper was terrible this week but I think you are misquoting him. He was saying what more could a GM ask of Shedeur other than that he doesn’t have the rocket arm and huge frame. He was saying that despite not being a perfect prototype like Josh Allen, he had plenty of talent to be an NFL starter.
re: What are the chances that Sanders doesn't even make Cleveland's roster?
Posted by MillerLiteTime on 4/27/25 at 5:21 am
Sanders will be on thin ice for distracting behavior. But if he takes this seriously, it will be Watson on IR, Flacco as day 1 starter, Sanders as QB2, Pickett cut/traded, and Gabriel to practice squad.
Pickett is a known commodity at this point so they will choose potential over known poor play.

Deion talked a lot of shite about Travis Hunter too. But Hunter comes across as extremely likeable and somehow even humble despite being potentially the greatest pure athlete in a decade or longer. A terrible franchise moved up to take him and he was nothing but excited for the opportunity.
Shedeur acts like he is a prodigy despite being a middle of the pack QB in a bad draft class.

re: Shedeur may actually go undrafted

The role of a 2nd or 3rd string QB requires unique mental fortitude and humility. You don’t get to rotate in and play 20% of snaps to prove you deserve more. You have to prepare hard every day waiting on an injury or hoping the starter has a terrible season while supporting him, the team, and the coaches who have you on the bench every snap. You are a golf caddy and the complete opposite of “Legendary.”
Shedeur is either your 1st round franchise QB, or he isn’t on your team. He never applied for a backup role and Daddy has never let him be a backup.
Once he fell out of the 1st and early 2nd, the job description completely changed and Shedeur made it abundantly clear the last 6 months that he isn’t interested.

re: “Deion Sanders says there are a couple NFL teams he won't allow son Shedeur to play for”

The fact that Travis Hunter somehow made it out of Boulder extremely likeable and mature impresses me even more about him. One of the worst franchises in pro sports in a small market just gave up their future to move up and take him, and he was nothing but smiles and talking about the great fishing in Jax.

Shedeur may actually go undrafted
Posted by MillerLiteTime on 4/25/25 at 9:19 pm
In the 3rd-7th round, you are only taking QB’s you intend to be backups and developmental projects. Shedeur made it clear in every team meeting that he was unwilling to play for any team that would not let him “change their franchise.” He isn’t willing to be a backup. Why would you draft a locker room cancer and social media diva to sit on your bench? You don’t.

I mean the guy literally told teams in interviews “do not draft me unless you want me to come change your franchise.”
He’s now a day 2-3 prospect that GM’s want to go sit on the bench, shut up, and learn how to be a professional QB. You can’t reconcile that.
Brady’s famous “I’m the best decision this franchise ever made” came after he was drafted and had no demands involved. Shedeur walks in pre-draft saying “I’m a bad fit unless you are prepared to change your organization to my liking.”

In what world did they think retiring the number of a 22 yr old whose biggest accomplishment is a 9 win season was going to be seen favorably by an NFL coach who knows his on field weaknesses will require hard coaching? What NFL locker room full of grown men will respect a rookie QB this entitled without his daddy forcing them?
Falling out of the 2nd is quite possible. If the talent wasn’t so elite to overcome the personality into the 1st round, now he’s just not worth the trouble as a disgruntled backup who will be locker room cancer.
Oh, and maybe a GM was thinking a slide out of Day 1 would humble him enough to take a chance? Nope, he’s still giving speeches signing off as “Legendary.”

re: Does anyone want Shedeur's narcissistic arse?
Posted by MillerLiteTime on 4/24/25 at 9:34 pm
He’s a project who needs a ton of work getting a faster release and not taking sacks. With a great attitude, he’s worth a 1st round pick. But this is a guy who has only been coached by his father his entire career, blames everyone but himself, supposedly has a list of teams his Dad won’t let him play for, was an arse in team interviews, and just had his jersey retired after 2 sub par seasons. If he struggles, the Dad will criticize everyone. If he plays well, he will demand his Dad get the HC job. How do you coach that?

Those 3 road games early in the season are pretty much make or break for Freeze. He has to win 2 of those 3 or the boo birds at home against UGA in a likely rough game will be the last straw.
Frankly I’m not sure he can keep fan and player confidence up enough to save himself if @Baylor on the Friday night opener is a loss.

After reading that article, all I can think of is every story of people who made a ton of money as a player/coach then lose most of it borrowing millions to invest in “exciting” things like luxury car dealerships, sports franchises, restaurants, etc. I would bet these new dealerships are all extremely leveraged deals and it wouldn’t take much of a decline for dominos to rapidly start falling.
Hope Saban knows what he is doing.
