Weinke's done miracles with this kid. He now has a legit shot at the NFL & a chance of beingdrafted not just an UDFA. You think if there were no restrictions he'd risk trying to compete somewhere else and hope you mesh with that style when you have so much $$ riding on it? If I'm him, I'm wherever Weinke is next year to prep for the NFL.
I don’t think that will be a systemic issue.
How many sacks? How May hurries? How many passing yards? How many rushing yards?
mccollum was a stud for us and is a massive loss. he was by FAR the best player on the field for unc today and would be by FAR the best WR at tech
Do not agree, although we definitely need help on the DL, good QB's are harder to find and King will keep us competitive. We are 1-2, but both losses we were in the game into the 4thQ. Also, our tackling issue should be fixable, if not a certain Defensive Coach should be held accountable.
The O line played better in this game too. The drops are tough - they would have been great catches because the defenders made good plays.
King looks good. Disappointed in the failures by WRs to win contested balls. REALLY disappointed in the defense and ST play.
Disappointed he left for a competing ACC team. Maye targeted him yesterday and he had a big game. Seems every game I watch now, the teams are full of transfers.
Good quarterbacks are harder to find? Disagree entirely. Lots of teams have good quarterbacks, more still have excellent receivers, more still have fine running backs, but defensive linemen who can actually combine the holy trinity of size, quickness, and strength are as rare as hen's teeth. The truly elite teams take the few that are available leaving the others with ones who are either not big enough, or in our case too slow to make a difference. IIWII
It’ll start to even out as this is the last year of the Covid years I think. Had a log jam so to speak of guys who wanted to play because the Covid hardship gave everyone an extra year of eligibility.
OK, try this take, name the last QB we had drafted and playing in the NFL, now name the last DL we had drafted and playing in the NFL ...
QBs do not need to be drafted or play in the NFL to be great in college.
Being good in college and being good in the NFL are two entirely different things. I don't give a tinker's damn about the NFL. Georgia Tech is a unique place with challenges that are not found in the vast majority of college football programs. I stand by my assertion that defensive linemen are harder to find and harder to develop into good players especially at Tech. Good quarterbacks are easier to find and develop but truly elite ones well, even the factories have to sometimes get by with only a 4 star instead of the coveted 5 star. Clemson had two of them last year and got rid of one for the other. We should have such problems.
No doubt about what you said about our school and IMO that's a reason for all of us to be proud of, but the players we need to build this football program do care about the NFL ... I'll settle for we agree to disagree on this one
Only allowing one transfer without sitting a year will have an effect. (I expect that to get challenged in court). UNC is having a hissy fit over Tez White. There are lots of players with the extra year. A lot of 6 year guys and several grad transfers with 2 years eligibility. NIL money also can keep experienced players in school longer who may not have gotten drafted and can make some cash in college. Unfortunately some can make more in college than a job after they leave school.
