Unfortunately, I can't keep up with all the transfers (in or out). I will say one thing will remain the same though - I will continue to quietly judge our special teams from my seats while wrangling my kids and asking for forgiveness from the poor souls that have to sit near us.

Speaking of - anybody here in the Scoreboard Club?
Yes, love scoreboard. One day I will be able to afford Gridiron.

I know we have been trying to have civil discussions, but the one issue I would bring up is that you are leaning a little heavily on the whole we are transitioning away from the Air Raid. That argument has been dead for about a year now. And you are right pre nil portal days it could take a few years to transition away from the Air Raid or the Triple Option, but not now, and that can not be an excuse we will continue to use. Lebby did not manage the roster well enough, that is the truth. Now this could be for a plethora of reasons, but we have had time to transition from the Air Raid.
Leaning? I was pointing out that we were moving away from it and add to it the roster was **** in 24 and so was our NIL. Those reasons contributed to 2024. Hard to blame lebby entirely for roster in 24 when we didn’t have the NIL resources or the time to make up for the lack of talent in 23/24 signing class and portal . That’s one point I was making. 2025 we finally had completed the transitioning and had a better NIL that’s why we were able to win 5 games and be competitive in others (yes we should have won three more games last year). This year 26 we have finally closed the gap in NIL, roster management and coaching hires. That’s the point I was trying to make. And yes appreciate the civil conversation.

I will give you 24, but that is when the Air Raid transition excuse should have stopped. 25 and this year is solely on Lebby for better or worse. Just my opinion and I am sure you will have several points as to why I am wrong.

You and I are just never going to agree. You show your lack of understanding football hell even sports.
By your logic which is limited I get. It’s like saying a 1.5 handicap can’t get to 0.0 or plus because they are not born with it.
That's not what I said. Accuracy and athleticism are not nearly as trainable. You can get better but not much. All 'development' really is is strength, technique and confidence from the reps.

It wasn't even a big factor in 24. Arnett turned over a significant part of the roster and then Lebby did it again, and missed.

No I agree with you. I just wanted to point out facts of 24 and that we were behind. 25 was first year we had talent to compete

You are just ignorant to the understanding of what went on. Give me two players Lebby ran off that contributed anywhere.

Absolutely you can. Look at Dak. Look at his development. Happens every single year QBs get better.

Hell look at RG3 progression
Nobody is saying you can't get better and have better production. That happens to every player as they get older.

I'm saying you aren't going to magically make an inaccurate QB accurate. Dak was never inaccurate. He missed reads as a young player but he could always throw accurately.

Now what you CAN do, is mold an offense around a player. And that's what Danny Shorts did for Relf, Russell and Fitzgerald. But when he had Dak, he had a guy that could do it all, so duh, the offense flourishes on another level. But there ain't many Daks.

This is just my definition of it, so people will have different takes, but to me, it means having hands on with eyes on linebackers. I tell my guys when they double team, for example, that they should always have hands on the first level defender with eyes up to the second level defender. I scream constantly, hands on one, eyes on two. There are different things you look for as well, like when we slide protect are their eyes getting to the right gap, or when they run a pull play are they getting their eyes back inside the box for anything that might chase the play inside to out. I do not know if this makes sense.
Makes perfect sense. I thought that was what you meant but always trying to learn and keep up. Thanks!!

You really are as dumb as I thought. This is exactly what you said DA:
“The only way this potentially works out is if KT improves his passing ability, and it's rare to just 'develop' this. OR KT turns out to be the next Lamar Jackson, and can just overwhelm everyone and again, that guy is rare too. Only ones who have pulled that off are Vick, Jackson and maybe Jalen Hurts.”

Taylor as a true freshman completed 56% of his passes this year. 5 TDs to 1 int… So you don’t think he can increase is ability to complete 65 to 68% his sophomore year.
You really are the most ignorant poster on this board.

I'm not sure what you're missing here. I was pretty clear. When I say overwhelm, I mean with running mainly - like Vick, Jackson and Hurts. They were run-first but so damn good that still could make any offense work.
