Brainless ranter bullshite. I love how our athletic department puts out a few propaganda pieces and now the 70 IQ plant baws are parroting 5-1 like anyone with a brain can’t see the incoming collapse when we hit the meat of our schedule. Are you going to come back with the arrogant attitude when we have 4+ losses by the end of next month?

This is a situation where the OP is just looking for the next thing to bitch about when it comes to BK. We get it, you don’t care for him.

Just like BK sold out the team’s future for a recruit that didn’t even come here. So we’re stuck with Sloan. Way to go BK

PFF has rated players like Ruiz from the Saints like pro-bowlers at times. I don't give them that much credit. Half of their "ratings" are WTF.

I have an idea for a reality show. We buyout a team for one season, a good team, like Michigan or LSU. We let the head coach run the team like normal, except he gets gameday off.

On gameday, the team’s fans make the lineup and the substitutions. The offensive and defensive coordinators have to choose a play from a menu that the fans select. For example, it’s second and eight on our own 40. As the first down play ends, the fans get to five seconds to vote for a play. It won’t be the exact play from the playbook, but it will be something general, like pass play, with 4-wides and a TE, deep route as primary. The OC would then choose something from their playbook that meets that criteria.

I think the whole country would watch those games however they turned out.

Again, Kelly said in his own words another player may be better in that position now but he’s willing to risk it to see Davis develop.

I can understand this on a team that is already eliminated and rebuilding. It should not be on the case for a team where the coach begged fans to bail him out by buying players for a championship team only to potentially waste said team and likely beg for more money again next year.

Davis is struggling and maybe is not ready. Sometimes they will never be ready and small tiny improvements from horrific play to only bad play doesn’t mean their is meaningful progress.

Here you go from the post:

"We have to get him (Davis) better in the run game. And that's where, at times, you want to put Josh out there. But we're going to live with him."


He was referring to Thompson being a better run blocker there but they are willing to live with the mistakes because of Davis’ potential.

See Lance Hurd at Tennessee. He sucked last year and will earn post season accolades this year.

Weston Davis is one of Brad Davis's "Kardell Clones."

Sylvester hasn't recruited shite since he's been here. No Center and no OL's that can help produce an SEC Championship, just Kardell's that are in over their heads!

WAY PAST TIME like Nikki, Beth (Currently) and Verge (Currently) to depart the premises. (Remember Clown Orgeron brought Clown Davis in here)

If I trust Kelly with anything, it’s OL development. Look who he’s put into the league at both ND and LSU. All high quality offensive lineman and first rounders at that. Our OL recruitment (4 and 5 stars) under Kelly has vastly improved since the Miles/Orgeron days.

Kardell cloans? Kardell doesn’t have close to the measurables as Weston. And also Davis didn’t recruit Kardell. Kardell signed in 2019. Davis was interim OL in 2021.

Yeah, but tackles do more than run block. It might be that CBK thinks Thompson is a better overall RT right now, but he didn’t say that.
