OT: The Other Sports Thread Part X

[jumb0]

Yeah now look at post 2019, it gets pretty ugly in a hurry, especially in the early rounds where you need to hit.

I feel everyone wants to focus on Isaiah Wilson being a complete bust and say that the drafts have been terrible.
Krisitan Fulton was a great pick. Larrell Murchison (5th) and Chris Jackson (7th) are decent depth pieces. Jackson has started a few games this year.

2021 jury is still out to a degree because of injuries. Radunz has been fine and Rashad Weaver has 4 sacks this season.

Who was the corner we took in the first round 2 years ago? NM it was Farley who is a bust.

Every team has busts. The measurement should not be vs individual picks. It should be against the league. How has his drafting stacked up vs his peers?

Which is the point I am trying to make, but AB has his mind made up and those pesky facts aren't going to change it.

Hasn’t he like torn an ACL 2 years in a row? I don’t know if that’s a bust or just really bad luck.

I think he’s been pretty conservative. He hasn’t gotten stars, but both of those drafts have gotten players.

Of course, unlike hockey there’s no reserve list and you can’t just bank and develop prospects, so you only get the 53 on the roster and anyone who isn’t really an integral NFL player yet is fair game for everyone else.

He was injured when they drafted him and has stayed that way.

Yes we have drafted some good players in odd rounds but you can't have that many 1st rounders not make it in this league and keep pace. Right now we are doing some serious finger crossing that Burks makes it or like I said that's 3 years in a row we've had our 1st rounder not pan out.

It's just a simple fact, you can't have your 1st rounders and in some cases your 2nd rounders in the same year not pan out or you are going to be hurting. It's going to show up.

 

[jumb0]

If you're already throwing in the towel on Burks then it's obvious your mind is set.

I've continually used the word " if " on him. I'm a freaking Arkansas fan, I'm the last person who will throw in the towel on him. It still doesn't change the fact that if this continues that will be 3 in a row.

2 players from Nashville SC made the World Cup squad.

Zimmerman was a lock but Shaq Moore was a bit of a surprise

You might get out of it by the skin of your teeth.

Vandy's record doesn't really show it but they have given several teams some trouble this year which is by far an improvement. Little bit of luck going their way or slightly bit better play they very easily could have been knocking on the door of bowl eligibility.

Edit: Well maybe not

Nope. Kentucky blows this one twice. Like I'm back in the 1990s or something..

I can't see how anyone thinks yalls QB should be a 1st round pick in the NFL. Maybe there is something I'm just not seeing.

No, you are 100% correct. And I'm guessing his draft stock is in free fall. Vandy first SEC win since before the pandemic. At least they didnt tear our goalposts down....

Probably not enough fans there to do it anyways lol

I feel like Levis was hyped solely because he’s built like an NFL quarterback. Everyone looking for that next Josh Allen type.

Yeah I just haven't seen it. Even going into the season I was scratching my head as to why he was getting all of the hype. That said if there is one thing more crazy than a college football hype train its NFL GM's looking for a QB.

 

[PredsV82]

Titans just getting by but getting the W

 

[PredsV82]

Woohoo go Racers!!

 

[PredsV82]

Racers beat Texas A/M
Titans win at Lambeau
Cats win a snoozer with no injuries
Preds get a win against a top team.


Damn good sports day for me

Joe B Hall?

 

[jumb0]

Nice win last night. Credit where credit is due, Todd Downing called a fantastic game.

 

[PredsV82]

Joe B Hall?

Football. And Joe B retired in the mid 80s
