I cant Say what our guys are not, just like golden had legit players on defense but had donofrio coaching them and made them look terrible, same thing happening with our offensive recruits. Let’s see what happens there with a new oc. You have all that talent on offense you shouldn’t be ranked where you were in all of those offensive categories no matter what. Until we have a modern scheme and someone who will actually utilize those players it’s hard to make a definitive statement like you are doing
Rousseau is likely the only kid on the roster with top 2 round potential. We gotta move past this whole development blah blah. We evaluated poorly. Cager as a 5th year senior would have been a top 2 receiver for us, too, he just chosed to bail. Tell me who on this roster should e starting for LSU, Ohio State or Clemson.
Coaching. Roster means nothing without coaching. This roster isn't dominant enough to compensate for the lack of sound coaching on this team.
I’m not debating coahing. We’re talking roster. The NFL will judge talent ether way. Who is a top 2 round kid on O?
It depends on the success of the team, if we do better in season, players will generate more hype in the nfl draft. Top 2 round kid? I’m not sure yet, lot of young guys and ultimately games to be played in the next season or 2
You’re in denial. The nfl draft isn’t about hype. It’s about physical ability and skill and determination.
Why do people keep bringing up Cager as an example of a player that was mediocre here but supposedly blossomed elsewhere? He may have been UGA's "top receiver", but he was essentially the same receiver he was here, Georgia simply didn't have any better options.
Developent blah blah blah ? How do you think players get better man ? Those payers don't just come in immediately and start balling and set records based off of their high school level skills , they get developed , by coaches who know how to develop . You think OSU keeps putting DBs in the league every year based on evaluating and not development ?
7 wins and he stays with a super hot seat. 8 and they call him a turnaround artist.
Ok well first let's consider the difference in level of competition from the SEC DBs and ACC DBs. And I may be remembering incorrectly but the majority of Cagers stats came in garbage tme or against FCS teams . And let's not forget the drops
Evaluations and development go hand in hand.
Either way team will be better this year than last. We have more experience, we will have a better OC as none can be worse than what we had and schedule is even more favorable. If we can kick and punt we should squeak out 8 wins despite any coaching ineptitude.
Your post is a great example of what I talk about often. People claim a discussion of talent creates an excuse for coaching. For the millionth time, that’s false. It doesn’t. But your head in the sand mindset on talent is part of why the fan base is continuously surprised by results and fails to understand what’s wrong.
