My god has there ever been a player who has done less in both football and baseball to get more hype than him. I know he is fast as greased lightning but dang he’s not even starting on either team yet gets 10 minutes of talking time from Bo Bounds and Blake on the OOB show today
John Rhys Plumlee
- Thread starter jack daniels dog
- Start date
Why would you run down a Mississippi based business who actually does a damn good job?
FTFY.
I don't know if he's been hurt, but it looks like he has less than 100 all purpose yards in 4 games this year. Not exactly going to strike fear into DC's hearts.
He had one long catch on a wheel route in the bowl game and all of the sudden they were hyping him up as a future NFL WR. Some had him stepping in and replacing Moore with minimal drop off.
His stat line through four games: 2 catches, 16 yards. Zero catches since Week 1.
His stat line through four games: 2 catches, 16 yards. Zero catches since Week 1.
I realize that there have been a few exceptions to this rule throughout history, but in this day and age, the quickest way for a college athlete to be great at nothing is by trying to be good at everything. 99.9% of these guys need to pick a sport
this must be your first season following Mississippi, because nobody can overhype a player like them. Nobody
Ive fixed plumbing for Bo. He is a nice guy and good bulldog. His job is to troll state fans and make them think he’s a Mississippi homer and troll Mississippi fans to think he’s a state homer. He does a great job at it. I have replaced his show, and all others with podcasts, but it ain’t personal.
As a QB he's fast and slippery but can't throw it worth a lick.
As a WR his athleticism doesn't stand out as much, he's undersized, and has average hands.
As a baseball player he's mediocre offensively and defensively.
I'm surprised Ole Miss isn't campaigning for him to win the Heisman.
I think calling them "second team" is being generous. That show is beyond terrible.
That will happen next year. All of their hype energy is pumping up Golden Corral right now. Get your popcorn ready.
I agree with Drebin here.
He really needs to transfer to a team with a read option offense. That is where he is special. As a RB or WR, he is just ok.
Meh, they tried it before and we bottled his little *** up.
John Rhys Plumlee (one of the most Ole Miss names ever) is well down on my list of things that concern me about the egg bowl.
How do you explain the douche bag image, is that trolling too? You know, the photo in the starched jeans and blazer w/ a shot, the "Yall Lifestyle", the "Rock Star Zinfandel Wines he promoted, Turquoise, Lake Caroline, what are we having for lunch at Char today, etc etc Damn, I'm about to throw up now
Going into his Junior year, he has 17 career hits, only 366 hits behind Mangum's 383.
At this pace, John Rice wont even have as many career ABs as Mangum had hits.
I would listen to bo bounds re airs before i would listen to more then 5 minutes of finebaum. there are many many things worse than OOB
For a while I have thought his best option would be to transfer to USM and play QB in Will Hall's offense. He would be serious problem for C-USA teams to defend.
As others have said, the two sport thing is killing his chances to be really good in either sport. Time to pick one and go for it in that one.
I'd listen to flys 17 before I listen to either. And Plumlee was never a great baseball player. Wasn't even a great HS baseball player. He's a workout warrior and a smart kid. I'm surprised he hasn't left OM already. Probably a poon related decision.

You have to understand that when Kiffin was hired, most Ole Miss fans knew that Plumlee's QB days were over. Yet Bo insisted for the entire offseason that Plumlee was going to be the guy, even when all of the reports out of Oxford were the opposite. He would even bring on guests to talk about how we were making a mistake in firing Rich Rod because Rich Rod is such an offensive genius. So who knows if he's trolling or if he legitimately believes the dumb stuff he says.

I chose to not listen to both. Only show I listen to when I can is Matt's show. Best sports radio show available in Metro area.
Yep. Talk radio is what it is, either you like it or you don't. But I won't run down a successful MS businessman who does every thing he can to promote Mississippi.
None of that is flat out wrong. Plumlee could be a star. Just turns out that Corral was better. I mean dude has two more years to play, at minimum.
If I was him, I'd be talking to Kirby Smart. Especially if J.T. Daniels goes pro.

Depends on what offense you are running. He is not a passer. At best he is a running QB but even then he is undersized. If I was the coach with an RPzo offense or some type with a running QB I would much prefer Fitz or GS to JRP. Just me personally. Fitz was tough as nails. I could see Plumlee getting hurt if he is the featured performer. And like the man said,, we locked him down last year and we will again.
His version of Mississippi - one where everyone is a pretentious, know-nothing douchebag - is not one we need promoted. That version needs to be hit in the head with a shovel and buried in a swamp somewhere.
I respect Bo for turning what he loves into his livelihood, and I like the fact he's a state fan, but he is the most pretentious personality I've ever heard. You would think he is an Ole Miss grad/fan all the way. He also makes fun of his co-host Blake constantly, and plays it off like they're just "having fun". Dear Bo, I'd prefer to hear Blake over you!
I mean sure, anything is theoretically possible. But it's pretty ignorant to think Plumlee has the potential to be a star QB when he can't throw the ball, and it's pretty ignorant to think that Rich Rod is some QB savant in the year 2021, and it's pretty ignorant not to understand that Plumlee was never gonna be the QB in Kiffin's offense due to the aforementioned fact that he can't throw. So yeah, it was dumb for Bo to continue to gush about Plumlee.
He can throw just fine, don't be an idiot. He's not Corral or even Rogers, but is plenty good to start for many P5 teams.
Ha. Yeah, he had the opportunity to play QB for multiple P5 teams but he'd prefer to ride the bench. Sure.
He maybe feels baseball is his ticket and what's a more perfect place to not exceed expectations than Swayze Field?
I think what you're trying to say is that Oxford is such a magical place that Plumlee likely couldn't bear the thought of leaving. You may be right.
He is stuck at WR behind the guy who leads OM receiving in overall yards, receptions, and TDs.
Thats a tough spot to be in.
Well.....I mean did you ever consider the idea that he may like Ole Miss??
But more likely is that he knows he's probably the starter once Corral leaves. And he had the chance to play baseball. And don't get it twisted.....he IS the backup QB. Oh, you thought it was Dent? LULzz.
Either way he does likely have a decision to make this spring.
