So this thread is what, setting up the excuses if things don't go how we want?
Not where we need to be depth wise to compete with the top programs any given day but how exciting is it that we are a legitimate contender for the playoffs with one hand tied behind our back?
Don't personally think we make it this year but the future is bright again
I get what you're saying and it'd certainly be catastrophic for us if a RB or CB went down BUT this constant focus on perceived depth has also become quite the media narrative too. It's almost to the point where these talking heads begin to value "depth" over actual head to head talent matchups. You know why I think that is? Because it's easy for them to slurp Bama's supposed 5 stars that don't start. "My God! The guys they cycle in would start for ANY OTHER team! The DEPTH that Lil Nick has here would make Bill Belichick drool!".
Whats sickening is how we are still recovering from sanctions while Pedophile State University had theirs wiped away after one season. Disgusting.

Bama reloads EVERY year because of depth..........so ya...its important.
I'd like to see 15 schools that are using the full 85 scholarships. And don't count when they fill up by giving to walk one.
Let's not pretend that any NCAA penalties had anything to do with the RB, TE, CB recruiting misfires of the past cycle.
Having said that, things look great right now from a program trajectory and recruiting standpoint and the staff deserves credit for maximizing the talent that's available on the rooster.

We'll be in the playoffs sometime in the next three months. Got faith in the pastor.

if that's how you choose to look at it, sure. but, i think that says more about you than it does about the thread.

Not really a matter of how I choose to look at it, and all about the implication of a title like "no matter how this season ends", and a response to criticism of our close games against injured foes. Every bit of it is a response to attempts at diminishing accomplishment, or expected failure.
Its alright, someone had to go looking for our pre loaded excuse, if we need it i suppose.
for instance, one may choose to read into it as making our accomplishments(Coastal title, ACC title, playoff berth, etc), that much greater.
or, one may choose to read it as a response to another thread that claimed jimbo/FSU was already making excuses for their season(injuries), when in reality, they easily have more healthy scholarship players than we do. in that context, it diminishes FSU's excuse.
it's your world, brotha, filter it however you want. just dont mistake your perspective for mine
