Beck to the portal, Ewers and Milroe to the NFL. Just like everyone predicted

Really strange NIL consequence. QBs going pro with remaining eligibility used to mean they were a top ten pick. Now it seems to be the new "nobody wanted to pay me obscene money for one more year"

Can’t believe he actually declared, in no world is he ready. Just cockiness, especially when teams are offering $4M+ for you.
It's a pretty wide open draft for QBs. There are 10 guys that could all go 1st or 10th at this point cause nobody is a sure thing. Leonard falls into that group as does Ewers. Ewers will also light up a pro day or combine and someone will take him to high because of it.

This is one of the worst QB classes in quite a while. All of them will be drafted much higher than they would normally this year because QB's are always needed and there are plenty of coaches who will think "they have great tools, I can fix them".

If Ewers or Milroe came back, they would probably hurt their draft stock tbh.

I only see one reason that we take a portal QB. Cj Carrs elbow has him behind schedule and will not be full go come spring and/or fall. I'm assuming anything else is pure clickbait. Any other thoughts out there gentlemen?

At this point the portal is closed for most and there aren’t very many QBs left that we could take, at least before the spring window. Just a few random GTs who’d be heading to the NFL if they were good enough.

Klubnick and maybe Ewers were the only two who ever made much sense, really. We have good options in-house, which raises the bar considerably for portal guys.

So....we expect this to move to a "highly regulated" environment without the resources to truly monitor what's happening? So it's a near guarantee we'll see the cheaters rise to the top again. That really sucks but I suppose it's inevitable. Hopefully, there is a better system employed moving into the future for penalizing offenders. If you don't have the manpower to keep a watchful eye over programs, then you must have harsh penalties for the offenders. Loss of eligibility, sizable reduction in annual budgets, reduced scholarships, etc.

Players can't claim ignorance of these rules as they are now employees and operating in the market.
They are not employees. If they were, NIL and transfers would look different.

How would it look different and how are they not employees? They offer their talents/skills to the team/university, in exchange they are given money/board/tuition with built-in bonuses and renegotiations for outperforming their peers.

Just because it's the wild west doesn't mean it's not a market.

Even in dark mode, there’s a lot of white.
Let’s get that improved mods.
I'm the only one who usually screws with that shit now that Clash is gone, RIP. I'll see what I can do when I get the time.

(BTW, not to dig on the others or to toot my own horn, it's just I think Clash and I were the only ones to typically screw with how the site looked or anything. Those other guys are my sugar daddies.)

I was just kidding.


BUT now that you’re messing with it, I have a hard time seeing the unread “bold” threads in dark mode. Is there a way to make it more distinct?

It will take some time tinkering with colors but hopefully I can figure it out.

I mean the dudes likely made plenty of money already so he's probably ready to move on.

No offense to the kid but he's looking at a Case Keenum/Ryan Fitzpatrick type of career ceiling IMO if he can even stay healthy
