that bottom comment is unfair, and very sweeping. is me saying 'most sports commentators with SM accounts, are like adolescents,' also a sweeping generalization?

One thing we can all agree in is that it needs to change. Further that the NCAA will absolutely **** this up.

"...tend to be..." is signaling that it's a general statement that's not meant to be taken as a blanket indictment. Not sure how that can be considered unfair, unless one wants to consider that teammates that leave their teams for other opportunities aren't generally doing it for personal/self-serving reasons?

And, are they? I mean, most sports commenters? Are most of them like adolescents? Admitted general statements are only unfair if they are also untrue.

These leagues will never last unless the NFL outright labels it as a developmemtal league for the NFL.

Yeah, and I don't think they'll do that. Not yet anyway. They benefit so much from already having 1 dev league for free, they'll gladly take another.

It's on these guys that merged the XFL and USFL to prove that the UFL can be profitable. Then and only then will the NFL raise their eyebrow.

No one will remember when first rounder after first rounder are picked from their program. That’s what players pay attention to.

I went through 3 mock drafts and while they could be wrong, two of them had 2 FSU players in 1st and one of them had 1 FSU player.

Verse and Coleman are their first rounders. That’s 2 so I guess that could be considered “first rounder after first rounder”.

So 2 first rounders but 9 opt-outs for the draft.

@knoxvol52

I wondered about this based on Hendershot’s reaction. I tried to rewind it last night but accidentally lost it on streaming. It’s being reported that the tripping call that put the Cowboys in the first and 25 in that last series was actually a trip by Aidan Hutchinson on Pollard. Official got it wrong. So, they would have never been in that situation.

Who opted out besides Ced - who had surgery during the season - and Hyatt?

The only projected 1st rounder Wright played. As did Byron Young.

Banks opted out also...so 3 then..

I have no problem with players worrying about themselves this time of year,if getting ready for draft...

What happens if Wright tears his ACL in bowl game ?

He loses money on draft position, it's happened before remember Jalen Smith from Notre Dame projected top 10-15 in draft blew out his knee in bowl game vs OSU I believe...

CJ Stroud is obviously better than Levis, but Stroud actually has people around him making plays and Levis absolutely does not.

Treylon Burks drops a bomb. Spears has one hit him in the hands and drops it. This doesn’t even count the turnstile that is the Titans Oline….

Do the Titans have the worst OL in the league? Or Carolina? Who else has terrible OL? I don’t keep up with NFL like that
