Open the link to 1:28:20. He stepped up and one of the 8 defenders that dropped immediately came up. He had to throw it away as the defender closed in.
And again, this isn't taking anything off Jalen. He was bad even when he had time. Just saying that those lumping it all on him are missing that we have more issues than just at QB. I know it's easy to blame it all on the QB but he had a lot of help in sucking.
Yea not saying he couldn't have handled it better. But if you watch that play and think the QB was the problem, not sure what to tell you.
I kinda disagree with this. I think he left because he saw the writing on the wall and knew he couldn’t.
I think ultimately we all just want to see a guy who can thrive in DeBoer’s system and open the playbook up for our skill guys. For one just to see it and two to really get a good feel if the DeBoer regime will be more like the Gene Stallings one or Bill Curry’s.
Tbh I'm still trying to figure out how much of it was Deboer and how much was Grubb. Next year will tell us a lot.
other teams also have talented. we don't have saban. this is how it's going to be. enjoy the show. hth
He retired bc of the NIL mess. I cant remember if he has been 100% transparent publicly about that but thats what it was
BTW our Vegas odds of winning the national championship started today at +4000 and now they're down to +2000 with the UGA result...
How is me saying "Hey the OL was bad too" any different then the multiple guys piling on Jalen? I'm not trying to solve anything, I'm just saying we can spread the blame a bit bc we were terrible in several areas.
yeah, I mean that’s what I’m getting at. He knew what the roster was going to be, and he said no thanks. Love Saban, he’s the absolute goat of goats, but the guy isn’t going to play the game if he can’t start with a loaded deck. The roster and NIL wasn’t going to allow that in the near term.
Y’all are right. Portal + NIL showing up at roughly the same time injects everything into college ball that didn’t work for him in Miami. “The Process” only works when you have to sit out a year if you leave and if the kids aren’t making more money than everyone on the staff except maybe the head coach (give it time, and that’ll change). He definitely knew when to fold em.
Oregon has length and they spread it around. They have 5 guys who average double figures and 2 on the cusp. Gonna need another big game. Looking forward to it!
