Sobering assessment of this years team (by Barry Jackson, so you already know...)

[Novacane32000]

This Barry Jackson article quotes an NFL scout and basically says we do not have nearly the talent needed to finish in the top 10.

Hard to argue his points.

Anytime you compare your squad to Bamas it’s going to be depressing. Compare the squad to ACC teams and then let’s go from there. That is a better litmus test.

You should maybe actually read it

Meh

A disgruntled former scout who thinks King is 5'8" tall (as another poster pointed out).

We aren't beating Bama, but we should be good.

Five scouts at second practice , four today. Yep we lack talent. Barry jackson < flaming bag of poo.

 

[moshated305]

****** assessment. How many of those same scouts and experts had Phillips as a first rounder this time last year? Even most of us fans thought we were ****ed at the position when Greg opted out. Players don't get better?

[Go Canes!!]

Fat Barry is a giant douche bag

 

[Mnhurricane]

I think angry people will miss the point here. We have tons of talent but quite a few upperclassmen are meh talents which is what the article focuses on. We have hope but anyone who thinks guys like Carter and hall are anything better than average on a good day is a foo

So who is the first rounder?

 

[theibisrules]

Facts are we cant start with a thousand bone head penalties. We cannot trot out players who are not ready for this stage...which means we should've hit the portal. Lastly, if you watch Mannys interviews you'll see he still says "the team is learning how to..." NOT GOOD.

The article is a waste , there’s a bunch of nfl guys on this roster. More than enough to win 10-11 games. I could care less about first rounders. We’re an older , more mature team which we never have , one of the most veteran teams in cfb. Thats more than enough.

Cool none of our players grow and develop.

Dumb article.

 

[JHallCanes]

Has the NFL scout looked at the Top 10 teams? They’re saying they do?

 

[Damiencane86]

Barry Jackson is a short fat cuck version of Dan Mullen to me. Both have the weirdo uncle nobody likes type of vibe.

 

[gabednconfused]

I am not sipping the Kool-Aid here by any stretch, but this assessment seems not only like evidence tampering (if he's a current scout) or an ex former player who looks at all modern UM teams as absolute piles of ****. Alonzo? I bet anything it was Alonzo hahahah Barry isnt that connected.

 

[COCane4Life]

The scout doesn’t sound like he actually went to practice and observed the team. Who cares about when guys get drafted we could possibly have 10 players drafted and the key is a lot of those guys have younger players behind them pushing for time.

True but this year there are "super seniors" on every team. We are not the only team with a bunch of starters returning.

 

[Damiencane86]

We have a bunch of guys who are more than likely mid round guys this year, 3rd-5th type projections, where Zion gives us a shot at 1st or 2nd. Hard to put out multiple first rounders regularly when you struggle to win 10 games and win your division like we do.
