The guy from 247 put in a prediction to us earlier. Unless he made that up out of the blue for the fun of it, there was something that prompted him to do that. Therefore I wouldnt really call it wishcasting. That was before Long was hired though and if he wants to go a different direction then so be it. I like the Akron kid too.
He definitely would not walk into a power 5 program and be given the keys.
gotta get your shots in on sims even when the admins moved the thread lol
It’s not a shot man. Tell me a power 5 program that he’d walk into and start based on being injury prone, turnovers, lack of accuracy, and mental mistakes. My hope is he will greatly improve and do well. He has the athletic ability but don’t attack me for stating facts based up to this point.
Then don't attack players. Coaches fine but not players.
You call that an attack when I state observations of his play so far?! You sound like a communist trying to censor my opinion which is not an attack. You want me to say what you want to hear...ridiculous
Communists don't try to censor opinions, totalitarian regimes do. Just saying...
I did not hear it as an attack. Sims was the object of a post, but the subject of the post is that players have to earn playing time when they join a new team. Even Gibbs will have to earn his way into the lineup at Alabama, though his past performance indicates a high probability of success.
If you want to pretend that the two have been different in practice, I suppose.
Be careful. I compared someone to riff raff and got a nastygram from admins. And we wonder why we play soft...
Jeff Sims hasn't yet developed into a QB who would be given the keys. He'd certainly have to earn them. Looking forward to his play next year under new management.
Though I think you have the winning argument about correlation I would still not risk my Park Avenue penthouse if I were you. These other guys have no idea how much this gig pays.If you can make a convincing case that there is a strong positive correlation between moderation levels and wins/losses I would be willing to walk away from the pay, perks and prestige of this glamorous gig!
Haha. Relating your posts on a message board to our actual football team?
Sure. And the shirt you wear to the game changes the outcome too!
What?? Are you suggesting that the shirt I wear to watch the game doesn't affect the outcome? You mean I have burned over a dozen "unlucky" shirts the last few years without reason? No, no, no....I just have to find a shirt that has more than one (1) win in it. I thought the shirt I wore for the UNC game was it, but alas, it got burned the next week. Being a GT fan can be an expensive proposition!Haha. Relating your posts on a message board to our actual football team?
Hey!!! Shirts make a difference.Haha. Relating your posts on a message board to our actual football team?
I was commenting on the censorship issue only. I was neutral on any other issue. Didn't comment on that.
Yep, sorry. I should have split my comments into two messages.
You think Gibbs will walk into the Bama program and be given the starting RB role? No way, he will have to earn it. The only guys who are truly given the keys are in a situation like Western Kentucky where the new OC brought in his starting QB and receivers from his prior school and implemented the Air Raid offense. That is the very rare case where a new guy is given the keys immediately!
I personally think he will EARN a starting job practically anywhere he goes, he is that good
