Haskins is the poster child as a prospect for what I believe sets up a bust. He was a one year starter in an elite program with elite pieces around him.

And they loved his arm talent.

But again the differences between Days offense and Urbans is enormous. If Stroud was in Urbans offense I'd agree with the prognosticators.

To be fair, we had doubt about Stroud over the years and we have seen the progression but if he doesn't go out and play lights out against UGA...I probably have more concerns. That game definitely changed my opinion some which worries me a bit.

All my frustration from a passing standpoint was contained in the first half of his first year. He turned a corner big time.

Running...now that's a different story.

Nothing is set in stone with his guy but in his defense he has been pretty good for the most part in his predictions. Not sure about the last 2 years or so but kinda hard to tell with a short span anyway. Maybe the only misses is Hurts and then Kyler, who started off hot but fell off.

He must've known about his call of duty obsession

Interesting.

Yeah, character concerns can cause anyone’s stock to drop.

He must have really bombed those interviews

This is much less surprising than someone saying Stroud is a guaranteed bust

I’m shocked, shocked that a kid from Gold Coast Connecticut is entitled…

Worth every penny
Thought trade talk with a 25-26 year old beast at an important position was crazy. If you’re shopping that guy what are you actually doing?!?!? Love that guy. Would not have batted an eyelash if the Eagles offered the 10th pick for him when he was supposedly on the block.

That’s a piece that ages well. He still has 7 years left easy. They don’t plan on being good again for 7 years? The rebuild goal in the NFL should always be 2-3 years. Would be a different story if they think pick 9 or 10 yields a QB they can build around. That’s one of the only positions I would prioritize over an All Pro DT that young.

Also, did you see the Jordan Hawkins declaration? Was that one you were expecting or did you think he would come back?

Nah. Knew he was gone.

UConn doesn’t have the deep NIL pockets so guys will bounce

They only got clingan cause he’s a local dude

It’s Tenn… They’re usually pretty awful minus a pop up year or two lol

And that’s a shame. I think Vrabel is a solid coach because of the culture he builds. If they get some front office competency maybe it’s a different story. They need to get a hit at QB.

Need one of these teams to realize Henry is their missing piece and send over a decent pick lol

I like him.

They do need a qb

Not this year

They need to play Willis all year

The titans best writer and I call it Fank (fake tank)

You play a guy like him way over his head and hope you land Caleb next year

Tanny was a fluke

It’s hard to replicate

Gotta find the guy in the draft

Trading up for Willis was not smart
