I would like to see an alternate universe where Mahomes starts game 1 of his career instead of sitting for basically a year. Did the Chiefs waste a year of the potential GOAT, or was he really not ready?

Makes sense to me. They’re not going to compete this year. End up with the #1 or #2 pick, and some team will offer you a gazillion picks/players for Caleb Williams or Drake Maye (or another QB) who will be available at that time.


Yep. And if he looks like the light isn’t going to come on you could always take the better prospect.

This is what I think, but people are discounting Richardson's passing and writing him off prematurely. Mechanically he is obviously sloppy, which you saw with some high passes this weekend, but he actually goes through progressions, reacts to coverages both in real time and from previous plays, and clearly understands route concepts and what the offense is trying to accomplish. He is miles ahead of what Malik Willis was coming in, who I've seen him compared to a lot.

Not saying he will for sure work out, but when you're that athletic you don't have to be the world's best passer.

wouldn't it also be logical that there are a lot of 4* and 5* trated talents that are not?

Sure, but the claim is UGA is better at developing 3 stars than other people, not that they also develop all their 4 and 5 stars. You're also taking fewer 3 stars though so the sample size is smaller.

The other thing to consider is how many 3-stars a team has.

While I'm not sure about your numbers, the fact is UGA only had 34 3-stars from 2016-2019 according to the 247 composite. Of those 34 players, 12 were drafted out of UGA and 3 more are still on UGA's roster this season.

---

I see this used as a point about UGA developing guys, but that kind of assumes rankings are perfect, or at least close, right? Which I feel as a board we have even recently established that they definitely aren't.

It would make more sense that they were just underrated to begin with, not that UGA took an actual 3 star caliber player and made him into a 4 or 5 star.

I'm not gonna go through that whole list you posted, but I know where Ladd is from and nobody is scouting guys in Murray County :lol: I'm picking on Ladd here because I have a lot of connections in that area, I actually like him a lot.

Also being around a bunch of studs can mask some deficiencies. Was 2022 Ladd really that good, or is the defense focused on AD Mitchell, the run game, and Bowers? I'm not saying anything either way, but its a decent question.

I'm firmly in the camp that college programs don't really develop guys that often or that much. Just the difference from working with a high school weightlifting coach to any D1 weightlifting coach can be massive for some guys and would have happened anywhere. Most of the Bama guys that went on to immediately have an impact in the NFL either had an impact immediately at Bama, or they at least flashed when given chances because they were behind locked in starters.

Rant Posters: "lets find some way to trash an objectively good move because a conference besides the SEC did it"

Honestly feels like some sour grapes here.

Whether he is good at actually coaching or not, he recruits well and that's most of the battle in college.

Here's your friendly reminder that Dave Aranda thought so highly of Corey Raymond's coaching skills that he demoted him from secondary coach to CB's only and brought in Bill Busch to develop players like Grant Delpit, Jacoby Stevens, and Kary Vincent.

---

So because Aranda thought Raymond was a bad coach, he made him spend all his time coaching the more important position? :lol:

Utah could be a pick but since they won their conference last year I feel like that is cheating a bit. Or Oregon, which I also feel like is cheating somewhat.

Someone completely out of no where coming up and doing it like TCU did though?

Nebraska if Jeff Sims just puts the team on his back is my true "out of no where" pick I guess.
