I logged in to say this. I am about done with this site. It started off as a place to talk with others that loved SEC football, that had some interesting articles on occasion. It has become a site where gambling has become half or more of the articles and then you throw in the ACC, and it is not what the site name says anymore. I will be looking for another site to engage with the fans of the SEC.
Shedeur Sanders won't be a top 5 pick. There is a good chance he won't be a 2nd round pick either. He will not be chosen just because he is Deion's son, he has to have something else to go on to out weight the fact that his college head coach doesn't know much about coaching, and that Shedeur is an arrogant bit of toe jam that is going to be a cancer in the locker room. It might help him if he actually won games and learned to throw the ball away.
TAMU didn't look like they were playing baseball, they looked like they were working for NASA and launching satellites.
I hope he does well. There are going to be a lot of players get UDFA chances. Sometimes they pay off really big. Even if they don't, if they can stick around for 3 years on a roster, they will make more than they probably would in any other job and be eligible for the NFL pension.
The Big12 has become a pretty good group of 5 conference. Especially with the loss of Texas and Oklahoma.
I don't remember Alabama ever having a Mr. Irrelevant. Does anyone know if he was the first?
Excepting injury, his chances of starting for the Jets are slim. By the time Rodgers retires, he is going to be coming close to the end of his contract, if he can even keep winning a spot, and he won't have much chance to play his way into the job.
He runs his mouth too much. He best keep his mouth shut and work or it will be a short stay in the NFL.
@RonMexico1 the records that were set would be the first clue. The QBs flying off the board, 2 of them thought to be day 2 picks, the Falcons choosing one of those thought to be a day 2 pick when they had just signed a QB to a $180 million dollar contract with $100 million of it guaranteed, the number of offensive players draft in like the first 16 picks, and the total in the first round. Isn't that enough to make it a crazy draft?
Just wait until April of 2025 to find out. A lot can change in a year, just ask Daniels, Nix and Penix. None of those 3 were thought to be day one picks, much less top 10 picks.
SEC123 you are an idiot. Most every Mock Draft had him going in the first round, but you in your infinite stupidity think he could have been drafted 2 rounds later. You show your stupidity every time you make a comment or reply.
There is nothing about the Bear's selections that indicate that they were winners. The odds are probably less than 50/50 that Caleb Williams actually plays to the level they hope he does. They thought they were winners when they drafted Fields. How did that work out? Though the biggest loser was definitely Atlanta. The Falcons as usual can’t get out of their own way. They just signed Cousins to a 4 year, $180 million contract, with $100 million guaranteed. Then they promptly go out and draft Penix and will have to pay him over $22 million guaranteed for 4 years. So, they just sunk $122 million, minimum, into QBs which is really going to make it tough for them to fill positions that they really need and will be an impact on their salary cap for years.

That has to be the craziest Draft I have seen. It just goes to show that where a player is picked has less to do with how great they are, than it does a team's perceived need.
I am old enough to remember watching him play for both teams. He is yet another piece of my childhood passing away. RIP sir and thank you for the memories.
A guy that is always out of position, getting beat, not needed, yet they were the leading tackler on the team. Sounds like the rest of the defense was not very good, that no one could overcome this guys faults, to be the leading tackler.
The spring game means nothing. It is a show/practice put on by the coaches, for the fans, and it allows you to see what they want you to see.
I find it just a conversation starter when discussing new coaches coming to a school. No great coach was great until he was. Bryant had never won a championship before he came to Alabama so nobody thought he would win 6, Saban had won 1 but no one foresaw his level of excellence before he accomplished it. Now Kalen DeBoer has his chance after a level of success elsewhere. The same with basketball coaches. There have been coaches that have been successful at another school, bomb when they are hired elsewhere. It is a shot in the dark and you hope yours hits the target. It is no different in basketball or any other sport.
Spring games are basically meaningless when it comes to trying to project success during the season. Ja'Corey Brooks was the star of A Day a few years ago and never was able to become a dependable WR, and there have been many others. Spring games are basically practices and you see what the coaches want you to see.
I think it is a win for UK, it is to be seen if it is a win for Arkansas. Calipari has to show he can win in today's college basketball world. His past few years puts that in doubt.
If you have only been at a school for 5 years, and the last 2 you are below .500 in conference, you have no business looking for a job unless you are a quitter or have been treated poorly. We know the last is not the case. With the loyalty this guy shows, you have to wonder why people want to hire him. I know every school thinks they will be different, but the best indicator of future behavior is past behavior.
Since 1906 USC has 14 league championships, one conference tournament title, 16 NCAA tournament appearances, five Sweet Sixteen appearances, four Elite Eight appearances, and two Final Four appearances. They are not and never have been consistent powers. I don't see how USC would be any better than Arkansas except it is close to home.
"It’s unclear if anyone can beat the Huskies", well people were not reticent about saying that Alabama would not beat North Carolina. How did that turn out? It only takes one team being hot at the right time. Congratulations to the players and staff for taking Bama basketball to their first Final 4.
This place is becoming the East Coast sports page. 4 of the 7 articles, using the term loosely, on the main page, today, are ACC, and the ACC seems to get equal to main billing to the SEC most days. I look at "Freelander's" articles and just don't care what he has to say.
Just because a QB, or any player, is chosen #1 does not necessarily mean they are the best QB. It could just mean that they are thought to be the best QB for the roster that the team has at that time. Chicago may think they can have more success with Daniels along with the personnel they had surrounding Justin Fields due to similarities in their game.
@ GeauxTigers8, I would say that Perkins has been ok. As bad as LSU"s defense has been, it is not hard to be a standout. Though this kid is 2 inches taller than Perkins, so his frame is skinnier. Perkins has also gained weight, I said Metz was going to have to gain some. A player may be able to have some success as an edge at that weight, depending on their build, but they are going to have trouble as a true linebacker when having to shed second level blocks from O-linemen that outweigh them by 100 to 140 pounds or more. If this kid was 6' it would be some different, but he is 6'3".
@ GeauxTigers8, 220 is a lot different than 200. At 220 he would only need to gain half, or a little more, of the weight he will need to gain at 200. He will need to be at least 240, maybe 250, to play linebacker in the SEC.
This kid seems more like he will be used as a strong safety than a linebacker. If that listed weight is accurate, that means he is going to have to gain a lot more to be an SEC linebacker.
Geeze O"Gara! You not only can't write an article without mistakes in grammar and English, but you also can't do math for $h!t either.
