He was playing behind a dogshit OL with a RB who was from Truman St. getting consistent playing time.
Yes, he had help at WR, but he can’t make chicken salad out of chicken shit. I do think the supporting cast is an indictment on Drink. I’m not saying he’s going to be Joe Burrow on his A game at LSU (far from it), but there’s no reason not to think that he can be similar to other college QBs that are athletically limited but make good decisions and don’t **** up. |

I just wonder if college football still allows for that sort of player to have much success. Even Alabama isn't dragging guys like that along for the ride anymore (though I guess Georgia pretty much has for 2 seasons now). |

Gabe DeArmond thinks we're gonna snipe Dre Kirkpatrick Jr away from Alabama now?
C'mon, Gabe - that seems ambitious... This is a kid who grew up in Alabama. Who's pop was a legend at Alabama. Then again, he's not THAT good a prospect by most services so maybe this is a strict playing time thing. |

I don’t think Bennett will amount to much in the NFL, and while he didn’t put up crazy numbers or anything at Georgia, he did exactly what Smart/Monken wanted him to do and earned the right to be a Heisman finalist despite what some people might think. |

Oftentimes he was out there trying to play hero ball WHILE being limited. Put him under center for Mizzou last season and they win 4 games. He was the worst of all worlds but because he'd pull a drive out of his ass after shooting himself in the foot for 3 quarters, he got a 'gamer' tag. He stinks. |

Unless you have 5 stars allover your roster. The weapons are there, he just needs to see to connect every once in awhile. |

Because the "JUCO route" means this entire process as just masturbation. We got Sheldon Richardson back, but had to entirely re-recruit him as a JUCO transfer. We've lost others. The JUCO route just means the kids gone and maaaaaybe we'll be able to get him back someday. |

Comments like that are a good way to be a former long-time educational admin in the district, true or not.
