[N41D]

Let's revisit this when Jeff Grimes is a head coach somewhere come winter time.

Probably won't be A&M because I think they'll move on, but he ain't going to Baylor when Grimes bounces.

1. I know you wouldn’t know better but most of us have had that dude on ignore for at least a year. He’s some banned trolls backup burner. He looks to be making more sense lately though so let me take him off my ignore list.

2. What’s your username on there?

Bobby Layne is the QB spot JJ’s to lose?

I think coming out of the spring Cade still had a handle of the job. I think JJ is eventually going to take it, but Cade will probably be the starter game one and will be given every opportunity.

I think most people are expecting a scenario where they are down against a PSU or MSU and JJ comes in and takes the job for good.

Donell Harris medically retired ....

A&M moved Dameyune Craig off receivers and over to Jimbo’s assistant QB coach. Thank God.

You believer in Nebraska like that?

I’m with you that they’ll be better, and they were probably better than their record last season, but Wisco seemed to find their groove toward the end of the season last year despite Mertz being trash.

They didn’t say… just that an injury forced him to make a decision.

Hez Jones medical’d too, but that one feels like it’s been coming for 2+ years

I just think Mertz is so trash and the rest of the division is so meh that in a save his job season, and with an absolute cupcake schedule outside of 3 games, Frost could pull out 8-4 (maybe even 9-3) and that’ll be enough to win the division.

It’s gonna be hilarious when that 4th loss is to Clay Helton and Georgia Southern though

In for Jayhawks winning four games this year. Don't question or ask me how.

I dunno why Jimbo got dubbed the QB Whisperer, but turning EJ Manuel and Christian Ponder into first rounders was a work of art. Lincoln’s been incredible with Baker, Jalen, and Kyler…but what happened with his first fully-developed project (Rattler)?

But are we really just gonna act like USC is some breeding ground for successful NFL QBs? First rounders or not, neither school has had huge success pumping out NFL stars at the position.

I missed this in the last thread so I’ll address it here:

Spoiler

Jimbo is seen as a QB whisperer partly because of what he did with Matt Mauck (who went 7th round), Ponder, Manuel, Jameis and Mond.

But Ponder was 6’2”, and EJ was 6’4”. Each had one good season and jumped right after and each benefited from the NFL’s tendency to draft on measurables and potential. He’s never really unlocked a QBs full potential outside of Jameis who won the Heisman and a NC.

Comparatively, in a 5 year span, Lincoln had 2 Heisman winners, 2 first round picks and a 2nd rounder that most were saying 1. Wouldn’t be drafted, and 2. Would have to switch positions to make it in the NFL.

Every NFL QB Lincoln coached at OU is an NFL starter. Say what you want but that’s an absurd stat. And check my post history, I was saying that about him even before he moved to SC.

There’s also this dumb argument that Rattler is his first REAL project and he had these finished products for the entire time. Baker and Kyler left their respective schools after 1 season and after they’d effectively lost the QB competitions there. Lincoln worked with each of them for 3 years prior to their winning the Heisman. He developed them. Jalen had played 3 years at Bama so for sure he was more of a finished product but he also never put up numbers at Bama anywhere close to what he achieved across the board at OU. There’s absolutely no question Lincoln polished him, but you could even argue he leveled up once a hood QB coach got their hands on him.
