You’re right, bash him on socials because he’s sabotaging the team on purpose. lol

This reminds me of the DJ I've saga where fans were to blame for his struggles. This is the softest **** you will read.

Ivey is currently entering Year 4 of the NFL after our fans said he was an FCS player.

The fans weren’t the reason for his struggles. But killing a player’s confidence with social media stupidity is a real thing. Especially when fans take legitimate poor play and blow it up into a constant scapegoat narrative.

I want these players to succeed here. Let’s not make it harder by acting like emotional idiots on social media.

Ivey was a bad football player at the University of Miami that was never debatable. I don't subscribe to any other line of thought. I don't have or use traditional social media outlets so this is moot. I will never understand the fake outrage over an optional life decision. I also don't support weirdos that seek attention online by reaching out to people they don't know for incendiary purposes. If you cant handle social media then you should delete social media.

That's fair but it's a metaphor of what the OL situation is now. He passed on some guys that had high NIL price tags (Kinsler, Seaton) in favor of the young guys, who didn't play a snap against WF while we clearly had struggles on the interior. Mario puts his chips in on the depth currently on the depth chart and so far it's proving to be problematic this year. Can those guys develop into players? Probably, but this year is the issue. If he didn't want to spend big money for an OL and the young kids were a bit too young, he should have looked at the portal for a less expensive piece. Maybe he did? But everything points to his (over)confidence of the young guys' readiness. If anything is going to change, it has to change in the CMU game. OL shuffling really needs to get in place first part of the year rather than game 10.

You bring up Seaton and say we passed on him, and many others here have said the same. Did we really pass on him though? I’m genuinely asking because I don’t recall him even visiting. From what I remember he went to LSU an Lane locked him in a room for four days and didn’t let him out until Seaton signed.

Yeah we were after him. Brought him in, he frequently was down here and even (IIRC) hung out with Francis due to their IMG connection. I'm sure Mario balked at the price tag but 1) we were losing 4 starters off a great OL, and 2) Mario had a good idea what he had in the OL room already.

My guess, I think Mario envisioned Cantwell taking those steps to become a starter (esp at that price tag) but that never materialized. The Congdon spring stuff was a bonus but I geniuinely think Mario had hoped guys like Ervin and Catnwell would get up to speed quicker than they have been. I think we have a great room beyond this year, to be clear - this year is the issue as it's a major transition year.

This is exactly where I'm at. I don't have/use that **** either. But I do know that it's overrun with trolls and bots.

I hate it for SJ, but how could he NOT know that it's a bad time to scroll through comments?

None of this should have come as a surprise to him. His poor play is literally on tape for the world to see. He knows he's struggling. He knows fans are ****ed/crazy. Combine that with the bots and trolls and it's not hard to guess what the comment section would be like.
