I feel like most of our fanbase hasn’t really watched this kid play. Just highlights and such. I need yall to go back and watch this game. Just the first quarter, if you’re pressed for time. This is what we’re getting. Watch the ball placement on every single throw. It’s absolutely pinpoint. Inside the numbers, outside the numbers, with touch, on a line, it doesn’t matter.

It’s precision, and the release is super quick. Many of them are off-platform, and what almost any coach would tell you are poor mechanics with the footwork. He’s stepping sideways, he’s falling back. He’s pressured. And every ball is a ******* dart. Legit every single one. Just do yourself and favor and watch this. Watch how good of a route runner Barkate is. This kid is going to explode this year throwing to him and Mali, and the rest of the best room in the league. And oh, you wanna play a light box and play coverage? Here comes Mark Fletcher in your earhole. I cannot ******* wait to watch this team play. Health permitting, we need just a couple minor things to click and this is easily one of the 5 best teams in America.

I will be doing the Spider-Man celly a lot this year.
 
IMO he's the best QB in college football and it's not close. He'll be the first QB off the board.

Maybe Smith goes 1st. But would you take a generational WR talent over a sure-fire starting QB if you're a GM? Some would for sure. I would not.

How a kid like Mensah (and Ward before him) could be so low-rated coming out of high school is stunning to me. He was a composite 2-star, the 161st-rated QB, the 2672nd-rated player. Shows how important evaluations and how easy it is for these so-called scouts to get it wrong repeatedly.

I see this team as the 2024 offense + the 2025 defense. That's a scary good team. IMO, this team doesn't lose to anyone ... provided Dawson (Mario) allows the offense to play loose, fast and aggressive.
