McCarthy's problem when he gets to the NFL is that the passing windows are so much more tighter all the time than in college and he isn't going to have all day to throw like he did constantly at scUM.

He's fine when guys are running wide open and he has all day to throw, that's not how it works in the NFL a vast majority of the time though. When the pressure is on and coverages are tighter he turns into a pretty mediocre QB.

That and you have to wonder how much of his "success" at scUM was due to having a good idea of exactly what the defense was doing, because of their cheating of course not because he's some master student of the game defense reader.

Any team who would waste a 1st rounder on him is a special kinds of stupid.

I disagree. I think Trevor Lawrence has the athleticism to play quarterback in the NFL, and McCarthy doesn't.
But what do I know? I thought that Saquon Barkley would be a bust, based on his performances against Ohio State.

He is the back he was in college based on what I’ve seen. Big runs or nada. Very little in between

Plus, he's clearly desperate to get out. It's why he's doing everything imaginable to stall off signing a 125M contract and why he's actually humbling his massive ego to fly around and be interviewed instead of expecting to be coronated over the phone. One of their hacks said that he's interviewing the teams for the right fit. Bullshit. He'll jump on the first offer that gets him out of Dodge.

Yep, and eventually some NFL franchise is going to get desperate enough, feels like this may be the year. The Chargers fit that bill and the Raiders sure as hell do as well if they decide to bring him in.

Well, I think SF is a great indication of how well he can integrate his massive ego and a massive insecurity complex that makes him hellbent on showing everybody that he's the smartest guy in the room into a complex NFL franchise of professional players, a front office and ownership. Three straight NFC championship games and a Super Bowl, and at the end, they couldn't run him out of town fast enough.

Outside the bix thinking. I like it.

Great that the Buckeyes won a 5 versus 7 game against Maryland. Distinctly saw the MD ladies doing full body slams against the Buckeyes. Also saw the refs in cahoots with Md. Some of those non-calls were outrageous, and tOSU ladies handled with dignity, while the Md folk should have gotten at least three technicals for grousing. Do believe that Md outplayed us, and was amazed that everytime looked at scoreboard (not entirely certain that Peacock is for me), we were only 2-4 points down. Give it to the good girls, they hung tough all game. Both wife and I were amazed when the announcer said that those were Jacy's first points of the evening (guess he meant basket). Everyone played a heckuva game, all four starters, and Ricki, Emma, did a good bit as well. Enjoyed Ricki (Rikki?) mixing it up with a couple of Md brutes (all seemed blocky), and Shumates second effort (and a missed follow! and putback was marvelous). Anyone else note that McDuff put Cotie in the high post, in isolation, and let her wheel and deal? Hope we see more of that, as Cotie had her best game in awhile. Also Mika (computer doesn't have all those oomlats etc), showed me some moves in the hole. Hesitate to call that an 'overall team win', but that's exactly what it was. Great job Buckeyes! Keep it rolling. PS, when the announcers put up the WBB standings, can see eight or so B10 teams in the dance. Unless they cannibalize themselves during league play. Keep it rolling against Iowa, please! Go Bucks!

It was fair when we were playing players under the table illegally, but now that other schools can legally pay them under the table…IT’S NOT FAIR!!!!!!!

My hunch is that Corum wasn't taking any income from the LLC. Instead, he was pumping money into it to finance the scouting operation.

Still, that whole thing reeks to high heaven. And Corum just walked away from it and never filed a complaint with the state of Wyoming. DFBIA says it's because the LLC was dissolved. Bullshit. It was still a felony. If I steal your car but return it next week, I've still committed a felony. Stalions supposedly violates the trust of a star player (who never knew who he was), commits a felony and possibly makes Corum liable for the activities of this LLC. Yet they not only let him walk away from this, but current and former players are hanging out with him at the Rose Bowl.

There's a big problem with Sherrone... he will get nailed before Harbaugh imo. Harbaugh looks decently insulated from Stalions.
But Moore and Minter are knee deep in it. Hiring either of them could result in firing them mid-season.
So ... let's do it. Fuck em.
More than Harbaugh, i want both those guys permanently banned from the conference.

Harbaugh will almost certainly take Minter to the NFL. I still want him to get a nice show cause for his work though.

I don't know how well Sherrone would work out as a full time HC anyways. We've seen interims do well to start and then crash and burn plenty of times.

This was a pretty different case than normal too, he wasn't captaining the ship all by himself, Harbaugh was still there all week for practice and game prep.

The Box getting renovated?

Guess the 'dog and pony' show can hit the road in numbers. Can't help but impress the recruit, right? Wonder what the other blokes do while Fry is expounding on why the kid should don scarlet and gray. Hope it works on a new recruit, or a Bama transfer or two. Like the effort the Buckeyes are putting forth, hope it bears more fruit. Go Bucks!

Sherrone seems like the logical choice but I bet if Harbaugh leaves it creates a atmosphere of butthurt there where they castoff all the Harbaugh disciples, and then they end up with someone who really doesn't make a lot of sense. Brian Kelly is not leaving LSU for scUM at this point.

Michigan should just move on and name Moore the coach, no NFL team hires him, then he gets hit by a random mail truck. Seems 100% win but what do I know, I'm a sock puppet.

Still not understanding the mindset of Watson being 'The' or really even 'a' problem. His contract creates issues, but the problem with what unfolded this season was that the moment we saw Deshaun and the offense begin to bloom, that hope was immediately snuffed out. I go back to that Ravens game, it was that win which made a push to the playoffs possible and the team used as a springboard to finish the season from.

The Ravens have faced

Jared Goff
Justin Herbert
CJ Stroud
Trevor Lawrence
Brock Purdy
Geno Smith
Tua
Matt Stafford

All of them did not beat Baltimore. More to the point, of that lot, only one QB helped his offense score more than 20 points, with several being held under 10.

Watson lit the Ravens up for 3 quarters through injury that required season ending surgery.

Health is an issue, coaching may be an issue, personnel may be an issue. But when Watson started flashing, he flashed like he used to in Houston that made him one of the better young QBs in the NFL. Talent is not a problem there.

The media is pimping his name a lot, but i don't think he's as "hot" as they want us to believe.
This is his best shot to get back in, but it's not the "done deal" narrative being passed around.
