^a line I could envision in a Taylor Sheridan-lead Star Trek series

He's a second-year QB who struggled his rookie year and has had a very easy road to a Super Bowl appearance. I think some people are just a bit skeptical of him given his playoff performances, and unfortunately for him, he's going to play against the #1 scoring defense in the league in the Super Bowl two weeks from now.

I think he is a good NFL QB who has definitely proven himself this season. I also think some of the top five NFL QB talk is a bit premature.

That’s not exactly how drafts work though. How often do you see teams reach on QBs they really shouldn’t? Happens every year.

You're not wrong, but it doesn't change the fact that Trinidad is likely not a first or second round pick and there aren't but 5ish teams in the NFL that need a QB right now. He won't be drafted high unless he has an unreal NFL combine because he's small and doesn't have the best arm. I could see Trinidad getting drafted in the third round, but any higher than that just doesn't seem realistic

Last Mock I saw right before their last game had Chambliss as #3 QB on the board behind Mendoza and Moore. Moore has since declared intent to return to Oregon. #2 QB is pretty high

He's QB3 in both Field Yates' draft rankings and in CBS' Draft Prospect rankings behind Mendoza and Ty Simpson, but his overall prospect ranking is in the hundreds. This basically means he's a 4th-round prospect right now. 4th-round NFL draft picks get contracts in the $4.5-5M range, meaning he would make somewhere around $1.25M per year before taxes. This is where Trinidad suing to come back makes more sense - I don't know what we've offered him in terms of NIL/revenue share money to come back next year, but I'd bet my manhood that it's higher than $1.25M, probably somewhere in the $4M-$5M range. As long as Trinidad doesn't completely bottom out next season, he will still be a 4th-round prospect in the 2027 draft, but he'll be one year-older and $4M+ richer before his rookie deal kicks in. Seems like a no-brainer to me.

I don't know what his NFL draft outlook is, but his stock will only go down by returning to Ole Miss.

It's definitely a risk returning after the year he just had, but he doesn't project as a super high draft pick even now. He's too small and isn't accurate enough as a passer to warrant a draft selection in the first two rounds, maybe not even in the first two days. I don't blame him for trying to come back another year, make a few million dollars in NIL/revenue share, then test the NFL waters. He might make more in NIL this year than he ever makes in the NFL if he doesn't pan out after his rookie deal

The SEC has been plagued with bad coaching and bad QB play for a few years now. Think about it - how many teams in the SEC last year had head coaches that are considered great? Maybe three?

How many starting quarterbacks in the SEC last year were considered great quarterbacks? Chambliss, Pavia, and Stockton? Hard to put any other SEC QB in the "great" tier.

Until we as a league start making better coaching hires and producing better QBs, we're going to continue to lose on big stages.

Think this tweet is fake. I’m not seeing it anywhere on our sites

Everyone is tampering these days. Anyone getting upset that tampering is happening needs to be upset at the NCAA for being little do-nothing bitches that aren’t making any rule changes to reign in the madness of the transfer portal.

Uhhh, he’s talking about NBA isn’t he?

His original tweet was about the Thunder, but the spat he’s getting into in the photo OP posted was about Ole Miss. He later deleted a tweet he put out last night that basically said “I don’t have to pretend to like college sports fans on any personal level”

11 of them started by fans of other teams

Kiffin to LSU broke that fan base
