'22 TN WR Isaiah Horton (Miami Transfer)

Squirrel is pedestrian at best unfortunately. Need to upgrade/play younger guy in his place. That is even before the shoulder injury.
Ha ha, what?? It's wild that when guys go through injuries everyone confuses that with not having talent. How long is your memory? Sit down here in front of me and let me tell you about Squirrel White prior to this season. Mercy. Got grown ass adults disrespecting our own players because they did what most players go through at some point and got hurt.
 
Squirrel has never done better than that in a season though
67 catches for 803 yards isn’t better than what Horton did this year? And Squirrel doing it with Milton as his QB vs. Horton doing it with Cam Ward as his QB? And Squirrel doing it in the SEC vs. Horton doing it in the ACC?

Everything about Squirrel’s 2023 production was better than Horton’s 2024 production.

2 things can be true at the same time:

1. Squirrel had a great season last year and was our best wr last year

2. Squirrel has not been good this year, other wrs have outperformed him and we can get better options
3. Squirrel White battled through injuries that would sideline most receivers and somehow was able to help the team despite of that. Gosh, you guys are so weird.

His injury happened in the arkansas game, he played the same before the injury as he has after. But again, im just pointing out facts that he was better last year than he was this year, sorry if ppl cant see that

BUT he could flip it back next year. We might revert to tempo again.

You're looking soley at stats and making assessments based entirely upon them that don't tell you anything about the reality of Squirrel White's 2024 season. It's something fools do, so I expect me prodding you here will allow you to zoom out and look at things with a modicum of perspective, because surely you're no fool.

Anyone wanting Squirrel replaced is stupid af
I don’t think anyone wants him replaced. They just want another receiver in the rotation next year and if it means they have to get someone that would make him a backup then so be it. We will have 3 WRs next year with in game experience and one of them hasn’t played against top 25 competition yet, although I expect Matthews to get some reps Saturday. Not only do we need to upgrade the depth at that position but we also need to upgrade the top end talent at receiver and need someone that is capable of playing multiple spots in case a receiver goes down. Do we really want to rely on a true freshman to come in if Brazzell goes down next year?
 
67 for 803 in the SEC with a lesser QB is the same or worse than 56 for 616 in the ACC with a top 10 draft pick at QB.

People will say any old thing.
Why are you convenient leaving out the additional 18 points he provided over squirrel 2 years ago when making your argument?

A) you were referencing catch and yardage numbers and saying Horton’s were as good or better. I was responding to that.
B) TD numbers are a result of red zone play calling as much as anything.

If anyone is being “convenient” it’s you. You’re not acknowledging the QB or competition difference. Or the fact that one dude already knows our offense and the other doesn’t. Also…is Horton even a slot?

A) “Squirrel just had 67 grabs for 800 yards last year and 2 TDs” so no I wasn’t just referencing his receptions and yards

I’m just saying their production is fairly comparable. If someone was blindly judging their numbers side by side they would be looked at as more or less the same caliber receiver. Another thing to take into account is Squirrel put up those numbers as the number 1 option whereas Horton was Miami’s third option

Cam Ward has thrown for 1600 more yards than Nico and 17 more TDs. If we had the same QB production, imagine how much better Squirrel’s numbers would be.

Well we had some that tried to run Hyatt off as well when he was struggling. Then in 2022 he single handily murdered Bama; everyone in the stadium knew where the ball was probably going and they couldn’t stop it.
 
I do think we need more ready to go options at slot. Hopefully Staley is ready to go, guessing Dodson would be the other slot guy from incoming class?
