Some here have accused my friend’s picks as being low hanging fruit, so to speak.

I haven’t heard anyone call Stroud a bust.

So if my friend is right, you all will know how special his information really is.

I forget, who were the biggest misses?

Not for a “gotcha” moreso curious about what might be common criteria

Man I don't know about that.....Haskins had some serious NFL type throws when he was here.

Yeah, I’ll eat shit

I liked haskins quite a bit. He was able to sit in the pocket and pick teams apart

I’m surprised how bad he was

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.
Those are good points.....when best attributes are big with big arm I get worried about that guy. I'd prefer accurate, smart/makes quick decisions.

Unless he knew Tua was gonna have concussions I think he missed on him as he was looking pretty good. I thought he missed on Herbert but could be wrong.

As we saw he was a bit of a problem in his personal affairs

I’m not too surprised about Haskins but in his defense, I really thought he was improving until the tragic accident. Still, he underachieved big time even though he was overdrafted. Stroud is without a doubt a better prospect

The one year starter thing, always seems to be a red flag. How many top QBs only started one year?

It's likely that same old situation; give any decent QB enough time and he'll pick you apart.

That’s a good question. Not many.

The article below is from 2019 but not much data (includes Kyler, I see now). Below are the results from 19-21 some of the QB’s drafted. Only QB that started one year was Kyler.

Kyler - started only one full year at Oklahoma
Burrow - started two at LSU
Herbert - 2+ years at Oregon
Tua - 2+ at Bama
Hurts - Oklahoma and Bama 3-+
Lawrence - 3 years at Clemson
Fields - 2 at Ohio St

Not a whole lot of guys that started 1 year in college but the results aren’t good for most of those guys. Cam and Kyler and Kyler isn’t a top 10 QB.

He also had another half or so season of pass attempts at Texas am and one year at Oklahoma

So a little more than just 1 year, but yeah, Murray is the exception

And he’s tiny

Just not enough data to say they can succeed or not but really…not good for guys who started one year. At least Stroud started two years.

There’s a reason the parcels system was so good

It valued total starts as a major component

@trojanfan12 @Heatles84 @Shanemansj13 @Stakesarehigh

I think I know who Holland’s next opponent will be.

LMFAO @ calling him baby girl.

According to a report from TMZ that included accompanying video footage and a statement from Holland’s manager, Oren Hodak, of KO Reps, Masvidal had to be restrained after Holland called him “baby girl” when they crossed paths – the same comment that allegedly set “Gamebred” off during the first exchange between them.

Hodak confirmed the details of TMZ’s report to MMA Junkie, and added Holland only had one person with him when he saw Masvidal on Friday, whereas Masvidal had multiple others by his side.
