Look to the Transfer Portal: Discussion thread

[gogeta4]

It’s not just football, with all their resources Oregon hasn’t won a team national championship since 1930. Perpetual underachievers.

FOREVER UNDER ACHIEVERS.

THEY HAVE NO PUSH BACK OUT WEST AT ALL AND CANT WIN SH*T. NOW THEY ARE IN A BETTER CONFERENCE I DONT EXPECT THEM TO GET OVER THE HUMP IF THEY DIDNT SO THIS YEAR.

They wont have a yearly pass playing in the pac 12.

 

[Mr. Dynasty1]

You can see the gap between us and the top programs getting wider and wider

 

[WeBallinBoyz]

That’s over dramatic

The team as it stands is not a 6 win team, nickel/emory were an 8/9 win team

We also didn’t get Damien Martinez and sam brown until the spring portal

No RB is coming to sit behind fletcher and Lyle so complaining about not landing a 3/4th string RB in the winter portal is just silly

We’re a 9-win team?!?

Oh man…you know what, good for you. Or I feel sorry for you, not sure which one.

 

[cway313]

The schedule is never as easy or tough as initially perceived. There is always a surprise team in the ACC and a couple preseason favorites end up being mediocre when all is said and done.

Also we will lose to a bad team.

Did we loose to a bad team this year?

I’ll give you RB is not a huge concern and we can definitely add one in the spring.

But we are going to struggle to add starter level talent at all the other positions.

Georgia Tech

Georgia Tech

Eh Idk if I would consider them a “bad team”.

Why not they finished the season 7-6? When we played them they telegraphed every forward pass by substituting out the QB that couldn't throw a forward pass. That is the epitome of bad, maybe not terrible, but certainly bad.

What other positions (outside of QB) are you referring to when you say “all”

“All” insinuates a lot

We already tackled CB & Safety (Lucas on the way seemingly), DT, TE, WR1

I can think of QB, slot WR, and maybe 1 LB?

I’m only even saying WR because the staff was trying for some but I think our young guys are better than what we can find anyways

What a brain-dead ignorant post.

The "QB that couldn't throw a forward pass" was coming off an injured shoulder, missing the two games prior to Miami (both losses). He also went 6-for-6 against Miami, so it appears that he could throw at least six forward passes.

In the 10 regular season games in which Haynes King played, GaTech went 7-3, including an 8 OT loss to UGa.

Not a loss to a "bad team".

Lol.

 

[WeBallinBoyz]

Take him. Won’t scare anyone off, except he has a shot to win the starting job (or at least be featured prominently).

With that said, he’s probably going to get a P4 starting role somewhere.

 

[Damiencane86]

Also we will lose to a bad team.

That's why I said both easy or tough. At least no Ga Tech this year which is a guaranteed L.

GT is a sore subject around here. Tread lightly.

All of the ones in the post I made that you quoted originally.

QB
2nd WR
LB
DE
2nd Safety

They might not be bad but 7-6 is the definition of mediocrity, and we should have won that game by 20. They ran a popgun offense that we had absolutely no answers for. With what we had at stake, and the injury to their qb, one of the worst losses we’ve had in recent memory.

personally i think we just need QB, LB, and WR (although i think after missing on branch, might as well play our young WR talent that is more than capable in my eyes)

Safety - obviously i'm not in the "know" but lucas seems like a lock at this point, him and poyser completely fixed the safety room

DE - we had the best DL class in the nation last year, if Jason Taylor is worth anything, they will be ready to play - USCe and Texas sure are using their young DE's


it is 100% possible to get a LB and 2nd WR in spring portal - we got sam brown in the spring portal

QB is the one where it's getting bleak

I'm not disagreeing with what YOU said. We should not have lost the game.

Having said that, Georgia Tech was not a "bad team". They were a team coming off a 2-game losing streak when their starting QB was out. Imagine how we would have done against a couple of good teams if we had to start Poff.

As for that popgun offense, they executed it. Again, that doesn't make them "bad". Gimmicky, maybe. Bad, no.

They had good players and a good gameplan. They were well-coached. That is a team that definitely should have won more games if they had more favorable health, and they showed how strong they could be taking UGa to 8 OTs.

Miami was not the only good team that GaTech did well against.

Just had some bad mid-season luck with the Haynes King injury. Not a bad team.

If we aren't playing a blue blood traditional power our fanbase automatically leaps to the conclusion of the team we're playing sucks and we should blow them out. Ga Tech and Cuse were solid teams, should've won but they were in no way trash squads.
