If we land Taulia, all of this bickering is for nothing**






**this is CIS. who am i kidding

The kid told Pete Thamel that Dawson said he reminds him of Stetson

That’s a better comp to me.

 

[Ghandi]

Does anyone in the building know Baker Mayfield? Personal friends? Coached him? Not trolling--just curious the reliability of this claim.

I never reported that on the Liberty QB.

My understanding is there were multiple character red flags there, which explains why he didn't land anywhere.

I recall the character red flags being mentioned but it’s gotten swept under the rug as usual because it doesn’t fit the narrative of whiffing on QB’s.

 

[JustAFanHTX]

Very simple. Our LBers tackle and we’re not dumpster diving for the “SFL 5*”

Now does that mean he’s not lacking in areas? No he is.

I mean I guess

 

[Ghandi]

Definitely not Baker Mayfield

More like Stetson Bennett with an offensive supporting cast with half the talent and a top 25ish defense instead of the best defense of the the last 15 years of college football.

Looks like 7-5 to me!

Kid isn’t a bad player but Mario’s system is going to make him look so much worse.

I just don’t see the arm strength to make some of the throws we’re asking our QB to make.

Literally Anthony Brown 2.0. Very similar tools and ability. Shorter version. Reminds me a lot of someone else we were seeing mentioned… Jordan McCloud.

10-4 season for the boys next year?

I've been trying to find who Mario was looking at the year they got Anthony Brown. Was it Jamie Newman he wanted? I think it was something like that...Newman never played and Brown was ok for them.

 

[BostonCanes47]

Is that true though?

No idea, post #43 in this thread is a screenshot from a gaby post saying he was a lean / silent commit there

 

[Ispyin]

I love this - website talking about outliers, and expecting the same thing to become the norm

 

[407cane]

we land taulia and poffenbarger then I'd feel much better about the qb room going forward

obviously taulia situation is out of our hands.

would suck to lose ward and taulia to nfl/eligibility and not to other college teams

As much as I hate this if we don’t get another qb, I will say I prefer him over McCloud, that one made my head hurt.

They were always concerned with speed, and they believe the film against FBS competition validated those concerns.

Wh also have speed guys that are under utilized, - Washington, Joseph and Johnson

 

[Ispyin]

Is that true though?

 

[Yoyo82]

I don’t see how we look at who Mario is TODAY and say he’s better than manny Diaz. I mean that wholeheartedly

Pros and cons.

His portal and gameday management pale in comparison to Manny.

He's a better recruiter.
Better developer of talent.

I think selecting coaches is a toss up at this point except Manny has Lashlee on his resume now.

 

[JustAFanHTX]

I would usually come in here and say that you’re crazy…but I agree with you.

It’s more than recruiting. You also have to ******* WIN.

You don’t ******* WIN with guys like Hamburger Helper

I would have called myself crazy but then I looked at it.. and the people who think they’re far off from each other have to do a lot of reaching to get to that conclusion

Manny has Blake baker as well.

To be honest though hamburger helper mac & cheese is pretty solid on a Tuesday evening which I is where I think the occasional FCS game gets broadcast

 

[Yoyo82]

True.. he's moved up quick. And Banda has done well also.

 

[Lilgwag]

Told someone else the same thing last week. Mario is literally just Randy Shannon all over again.

I told someone the same thing yesterday. Other than his recruiting prowess Mario is Butch Davis as far as game day decision making. Mario is allergic to difference making QBs and WRs

our LBs tackle? you saw the bowl game right
