[quote]House isn’t a dumbass. He knows football and he knows X’s and O’s you don’t get to where he’s been without it. But it takes more than that to be a good college coach. It’s a tough job. You’re teaching a lot of these guys from basically scratch.[/quote]
So what you're saying is that House wou...

[quote]There are busts at every position but I think OL is one of the easier ones to predict. Size, athleticism, experience, character traits is all you need to look at. They’re large bodies who’s job is to get in the way the defense. It’s not rocket science.[/quote]
Sorry, friend, but I have to di...

[quote]In regards to KC, I think Mahomes is just different. I honestly couldn’t name one OL on that team. Kelce is very important to that team and frankly probably more than the random OL they bring in to protect Mahomes. Mahomes has a quick release and is very mobile too.[/quote]
In all honesty, i...

[quote]Exactly, we’re not a contender. Go get a player who can be a core piece in the future because he’s an elite talent. Don’t grab an OL just because you have to. Unless you’re getting a top 5ish sure fire LT. [/quote]
I agree. OT's are a dicey pick, no matter what round they get selected in. ...

[quote]And if he goes in the 2nd is he a first ballot hof?[/quote]
Nope. He'll simply be relegated to the endless list of non-1st round QB's that either weren't elite/franchise level, or took a LONG time to get there (and several shots with multiple teams).
My point was that if he goes in the 1s...

[quote]I'm actually a little higher on Nix than most. Granted, most think he sucks. I think he has the potential to be a decent NFL starter one day. And he'd be a great back up.[/quote]
If he goes in the first, he'll be Baker Mayfield 2.0. Good, not great, and needing 4-6 years to mature and grow ...

[quote]So Saban came in and in four years he completely turned around a forgotten LSU program with no national recognition into a national championship program. He did it with sound coaching. He didn’t cheat or pay players.
But three years later at Alabama he started cheating and paying players a...

That coach cheats... but not when he was our coach. Back then he didn't cheat.
My evidence is absolutely nothing.

[quote]So did Saban pay players at LSU like you say he did at Alabama? It was a pretty dramatic turnaround for LSU football. And if so, did Les Miles suddenly stop when he arrived?[/quote]

Truth hurts, doesn't it? Bear was known for two things:

Ah, yes, the inevitable say-nothing reply from someone with no other retort of consequence.
You might as well have just shouted "shenanigans", or "I know you are but what am I?" for the same effect.
