Doesn't matter. I'm not being a dick.... but this is the worst thing that could happen to us at this moment.
Why?
We've got a freshman at QB.... ya.... he's a talented freshman..... and he is the future. But I can tell you right now, he's not quite ready.
That backside blitz that UTSA put on him- he couldn't "feel" it coming.
Georgia, Bama, Ohio st send that blitz and it's lights out Manning and hello (gimme a sec while I google) Trey Owens.....
It would be Garrett Gilbert part two.... ya.... Garrett had a chance to win that game-- legit, he did. But Bama pulled a blindside corner blitz and just like that- poof- Garrett Gilbert's career started a death spiral from which he's never fully recovered from. In the last 10 years he's been on 11 NFL practice rosters and 1 arena league roster.
Dude was MEGA talented. Jackie Sherrill said he was "the best quarterback I've seen since Dan Marino"....
Do you know who coached Dan Marino in college at Pitt??
Jackie Sherrill....
If Garrett Gilbert came to the league and was HALF as good a Dan Marino-- he'd still have made a few pro-bowls.... but he didn't.
Why?
I believe because he wasn't ready. It ruined him.
The 2nd reason this is bad for us is because--- NOW that asshole at Georgia, Kirby Smart, has something to motivate his boys with. They were running out of motivational material, certainly. Not anymore.
3rd-- we don't need a target like that painted on our backs. Aggy sucks right now but they've been here in this jungle of the SEC longer than we have. It wouldn't surprise me if the sheepafiers started taking up collections to pay NIL money to Georgia or Miss st or arky or Kentucky, for knock outs.
"But Clob-- nobody has ever paid players for a bounty on the head of other players........" dramatic pause
Mmmmk.....
Yay-- we're number 1.......
