Ive been drinking Peanut Butter Shots and i already have a headache. This spot number confuses me more than dudes using the woman’s restroom.

I keep sleeping in two hour spurts.

Yesterday Pro Football Focus came out with their way to early 1st round mock draft projections for 2023. They had Will Levis the Kentucky QB going as the 8th pick in the draft. Whoa. Really?

Okay, so how did they do in May of 2021 with their way to early 2022 mock draft projections? They had Spencer Rattler as the #1 overall pick. They had Emory Jones as the #6 pick and Kedon Slovis as the #13 pick. Kenny Pickett who was the only QB taken in the 1st round of the 2022 draft didn’t even get a howdy doo from PFF last year in their look ahead. I mean we knew that Pitt was coming to Knoxville with a pretty good QB. It's not like it was totally out of the blue. jmo.

They did have the Liberty QB, Willis, in the first round at #11 though he actually went in the 3rd round at #86 so I guess that’s a win for them. They had Sam Howell at the #2 pick right behind Rattler in the first round. Sam actually ended up being the #1 pick........of the 5th round. I don’t think that qualifies as a win. jmo.

Neither Spencer, Jones, or Slovis make the cut for their 1st round mock draft for 2023.

The reason I was looking at this is I was thinking about a subscription to PFF so I could see their grades and stats for our guys but I wanted to see some reviews of their product first. I was looking at reviews from guys who break down film on various fan sites and wanted to see how they rated the team at PFF. Almost universally they think the college product is a joke. Welp. I guess that saves me $120.

I understand it’s near impossible to predict much at all about the future but if even their grades are that suspect then where’s the value? One analyst on the South Carolina site broke down Rattler’s spring game performance, play by play, with analysis and video. What he was pointing out to their fans is that Spencer continues to play outside of structure. He can’t execute the play as designed even though it otherwise develops as intended. It’s like he’s a sandlot player. That’s been the knock on him from every source I’ve reviewed, youtubers, secstatcat, etc. I think it has to do with him being short and unable to see over the linemen but it could be that it’s just his mentality. He’s not a team player. jmo.

Missouri is still looking for a QB. Last weekend Drink had the transfer in from Baylor, Gerry Bohanon, trying to talk him into being a Tiger this coming season. I haven’t heard anything yet.

For the record, I’m calling it now. Hendon Hooker will be taken in the 1st round of the 2023 draft. I’m not naming a numerical pick that way I’ll have 32 chances of being right. I’ll be sitting on the edge of my seat during next year’s Thursday night show just waiting to bump this post to show how good my call was. lol

As for Will Levis, I think maybe he could get an UDFA deal, maybe. jmo.

 

[UTProf]

Levis is a block head. He will make a good backup, imo but that's his limit unless he's just playing dumb. That said, QBs always go higher than they should. The risk of losing out on a gem drives that. Unlike a lot of folks, I think Rattler has real potential to be a threat this season. I think he has incentive after being embarrassed and that level of motivation was probably missing last year.

 

[jbr82]

I do wish we were doing more to shore up the defense, tho.

It’s strange. There’s a lot of love for Levis right now. Many folks beyond PFF talking him up as one of the top QBs - or the top QB - behind the bammer and the buckeye.

I agree with you. I don’t see it at all.

 

[HankHill]

Who do you think will be the surprise player this year?

Jordan Phillips & Tyree West

Which Arizona Cardinal QB will have best 2023?

He threw AT a nice ball. Other than that nothing noticeable.

yessir.

That’s pretty wild, but ok

JG!





Sorry couldn't help myself

 

[Batman1948]

That's the best way to stop trash talk

 

[Batman1948]

I’ve swam in the upper echelon of money and close to dumpster diving in my life and they aren’t any different.

My opinion---but if you have FU money and you're not happy, you're spending it wrong

 

[volbeast33]

Being a Tennessee I have learned to be able to trash talk even when I shouldn’t. LOL….. failure doesn’t stop this trash talk.

A lot of people on here like PFF…. I find them to be very inaccurate….. There is a Twitter page that makes fun of some of their more ridiculous ratings.

 

[Batman1948]

The word delusional comes to mind. Tony Vitello is cooling coach in college baseball. The pain isn’t ending any time soon piggies.

Those Arkansas pigs are pi$$ed because they had their future head coach and let him leave for the hills of Tennessee. There's nothing else to it-----just like the poster said----rent free

[Batman1948]

Ben Mckee also said Corryton was his favorite town in Tennessee. Eric Cain responded that Newport was good.

Anyway...I asked AP, Hubbs, Mckee, and Cain if they also sit to pee in the middle of the night when the lights are out. I'll report back shortly once I gather their scientific poll responses.

Back in the day when I was single, when I came home inebriated, I found it easier to pi$$ when I was not standing up. I did not enjoy cleaning pi$$ off the floor when I sobered up.

Will Levis...a study

6'3" 220lbs+
Returning as a senior (will be his 5th year in college) from a team than went 10-3 in the SEC
One year stats as a starter: 66% 2826 passing yards, 24 passing TDs vs 13 INTs he added 376 rushing yards and 9 TDs on the ground as well

So he's got prototype QB size, he's shown he can be accurate and he can use his legs...that's why he's got the hype.

Now the bad, lost his OC and was the first time Kentucky under Stoops had an OC that seemed capable of showing life in the passing game, lost his best WR in the draft and also lost his starting Center and starting right tackle. Kentucky's last 10 win season they followed up by going 8-5 and then 5-6. They feast on an extremely weak ooc schedule and have benefited from the SEC East being down...South Carolina, Us, Florida, etc. their yearly west opponent Mississippi State also has been down since Mullen left, with just 1 over 500 season in the last 3 years (seems Leech has his system and guys in place now so not likely to be a sub 500 team going forward).

I think we'll see Levis under more pressure mentally as well as physically, Kentucky has mostly been a developmental program and to lose as much as they did off that offense (including the staff loses) will be hard to replicate last year's success.

 

[Enki_Amenra]

I'll bet @Weezer 's left testicle that Simmons starts vs Balls State.

I'll bet his right one that he doesn't.

It doesn't work for everyone, but Tony Romo was a UDFA with the Cowgirls

[johnfnkelly]

I can't find where he's even listed as being in the transfer portal. I googled him and it still shows him as enrolled at ASU.

 

[Orange_Crush]

Go get 'im.

 

[Glitch]

I'll bet his right one that he doesn't.

Oh yeah? Well, you're on mister!
