And everyone on planet earth agrees that Mahomes is a way better QB than Stetson in every way.
Stetson definitely took advantage of the situation more than most and I'm not saying he has no ability. I'm just pointing out how bizarre the situation is (he's older than Tua and Jalen who are years into their pro careers), and that he basically played two college careers (the first 3 years he was a scrub and then finally in the last 3 years slowly became great). Obviously he benefited from that huge extra development time and to me it's more about the fact that he was given this extra time as opposed to the old "walk-on that was a hidden gem" story. Then you add in the fact that he was on ultra-elite teams as well as the fact that he never won a Heisman and didn't garner recognition from the NFL as a big time player and it adds up to a guy who just took advantage of an odd situation and lingered in a sport meant for 18-21 year olds for many years.
Wow, what a bizarre comparison. Logic of a child. Old men coach many teams, and Belicheck also learned from older people than himself. The fact is the vast majority of college athletes are 18-21 and it's purposely created to be an amateur sport for young adults who are developing. To trot out a guy who is years beyond most players is a system hack. Think about it this way: if I told you I was 25 and still at college working on a BA, you would probably quickly judge me to be a free-loading do-nothing who needed to get a job. But because Stetson plays football we're supposed to admire the fact that he's still in college?
Name a thousand college athletes that got to develop for several years and play to the age of 25. Isn't it a coincidence that Stetson suddenly became great at around the age he should have been long gone from college? It was a bizarre situation and I'm not impressed. Do you realize Jalen Hurts is younger than Stetson? Imagine if Bama was still trotting out Hurts as QB today...
Would this also make him the oldest man in the CFB Hall of Fame? If only every college player could develop all the way to 25 years old then the HOF would be overrun with dudes. Stetson should already be 5 years deep into an NFL contract, but here we are... (and I'm not sure he'll even play 5 years in the NFL).
Tell me Bama is always on your mind without telling me Bama is always on your mind...
I don't understand why anyone believed NIL would somehow help lesser programs. And the transfer portal as well is only sending benched players from the big programs to lesser programs, and the marquee players are leaving the small programs to go to the big programs in their final year of eligibility to increase draft stock. All signs point to the big programs continuing to benefit. Folks are so desperate to get the big programs like Bama knocked down a peg that they're trying anything and everything (like playoff expansion) to change the status quo but everything they try is just used by the top dogs to continue to thrive. Ultimately, NCAA is going to have to put a cap on these things (NIL, transfer portal) so that it becomes more equitable.
Oh no, you don't understand socialism, poor thing. Socialist countries pay more in taxes so that the government will take care of things. In America, we have the government take care of some things via tax dollars and other things we don't; therefore it is a blended system. Time for school.
Yeah, social security is the definition of socialism and it doesn't stop there. We also have the government provide schools, military, infrastructure, fire dept, post office, police, parks, schools, etc. See, the government does take care of you, commie.
Wrong. Thanks for playing. Almost every advanced democracy in the world now has a blended system of capitalism and socialism (ever heard of social security?).
Only in America do "patriots" feel like you're railing against capitalism when you make a bland criticism. It's ok old man, I know you need your nostalgic American pride in tact so your whole identity doesn't crumble.
A dead clock is right twice a day. Michigan has won the past two years, but how long did that take? And will they be able to sustain? Ultimately Ohio St is the much more consistent product and that's due to recruiting.
It must be nice to have a binary understanding of the world (it can only be capitalism or North Korea?). Get with the times, uncle grandpa.
The Wu-Tang Clan tried to tell us in the '90's: Cash Rules Everything Around Me (C.R.E.A.M., get the money).
Hey, I'm no big fan of capitalism, but this is no different than anything else in America. A few make all the money while the rest barely get by.
You say this as if this is what Michigan does. They just climbed back from obscurity so I'm not sure we can make any definitive statements about their ability to be dominant.
Tennessee hasn't faced a better offense than the Tide's and also hasn't faced a defense anywhere near as good as Bama's. So what's your point? If you watched the Bama-Ark game then you'd know that was a dominating win. Blew them off their own field in first half, had a bad third quarter, but then blew them out again in the 4th. And in case you didn't notice, Bama might have struggled against A&M due to missing Bryce.
Rogers has never scored a TD against Bama. Neither has Leach.
Then with your logic there should be no MVP, no Heisman, etc? Only team awards because we just can't know how they would have played elsewhere?
The entire NFL disagrees with you. Bryce has more TDs in fewer games, and does much more offensive play calling and game management than Hendon.
Stats are a funny thing, for instance did you know that Tennessee is almost dead last in all the country for pass yards allowed? I'm sure you have a "likely explanation" for that though...
Bama's pass rush is definitely better this year, how could it be worse? The same guys (Will, Dallas, Braswell) are still there. Google "Cheetah package" and get informed.
Thank you, doctor, for your evaluation... based on nothing.
I know you love your team, but try to be a little objective. I think Bama has a good defense, in case you haven't been watching, including top 10 run defense. Passing yards allowed: Bama ranked number 12 and Tennessee ranked 128.
Thanks doctor, and Hooker is not better than Bryce. Bryce has thrown more TDs in less action (having missed essentially the last two games), so pump the brakes on claiming Hooker is better than the Heisman winner.
He's right, you guys need to calm down. TN's biggest games are all still ahead of them and it is early in the season. You sound like a starving dog.
Dude, I know you love TN, but come on. If Bama beats UGA in the SEC Championship you don't think that might elevate their ranking?
