'22 TN QB Ty Simpson (Alabama commit)

[BondJamesBond]

Oh sure. Wasn't JG ranked like the 2nd best QB the year he was recruited?

I don't think he was anywhere even close to that. I think we stole him from Rutgers.

Number 1 dual threat number 79 overall on 247 composite. Jalen Hurts was #4 dual threat

The problem with a lot these QBs these days and why we get so many overrated busts is you have too many so called QB gurus teaching these kids to be robots that look pretty in 7 on 7 but can’t make the plays when things break down. That was JGs biggest issue he was a robot that spent too much time thinking about his mechanics than what he was seeing in front of him. Sometimes you just need to play. One of the things I like about TY is he can make those plays when things go sideways in the pocket.

Thanks. I'll remember this next time people start telling me how important media rankings are.

They’re not the end all, be all, but they usually give you a pretty good idea about how an entire class will do

Media rankings are right more often than they are wrong

Beat OSU for him actually.

Their one assistant coach threw a tantrum on Twitter over it.

Ah ha! Ty never told Heupel that Heupel was going to Alabama.

AP speaking in code.

That obscure sentence gives AP wiggle room when Ty announces for Tennessee in a couple of weeks.

GBO!

When it comes to QBs, they’re wrong quite a bit. Maybe not for the #1 QB in the class but look at QB ratings year by year on 247 and you’ll be shocked how often guys who are in the top 10 didn’t pan out.

Worst theft ever

 

[ChrisVFL]

“Yawn” I’ll be back in December, Jan. Things pretty boring as of now as far as recruiting. Got some big games to finish next few weeks and then see what pieces fall from there. GBO

Just looked at the top 20 from 2018.
1.Lawrence
2.Fields
3.JT Daniels?????
4.Thompson-Robinson????
8.Corral

The rest suck

JG is the only player in history whose high school recruiting rankings continue to soar with every passing year while his on-field performance continues to get worse every year.

About like stealing someone else's heart attack.

It's called being a football player

Ya. That’s a total craps shoot. And it’s because what makes a qb is their ability to process a ton of information quickly. That’s what accounts for going through progressions and making the right ready and also pocket awareness and escapability. All they can evaluate at a camp is their size and arm strength. Which matters so for sure. But not if they can’t first do the mental part really well. It’s really the only position where the mental component is more important than the physical.
