    Never saw Spiker do anything and his HS film was very good but not truly elite. Same with Osborne. Although Osborne had more upside because of his size and possession guy capabilities. Always thought they were overhyped as 4 stars.

    The higher you go in football the more it matters to be very good at at least 1 or 2 things. Bynum can do sweeps and he always catches the ball. Ergo he plays.



    Say it louder for the fucking doogs in the back.

    I'll say it loud for the people who don't get it. It's not about those guys vs Bynum. It's about those guys not getting a look when all we saw were Fuller and Baccelia.
    Why did Bynum get a look? Why was he featured last half of 2019?

    I'm not defending Fuller. I'm not even defending Bachellia, but at least he was highly productive in getting us to a Rose Bowl. Watch the last 2018 games. Ok I'm defending Bachellia but it's not his fault he was slotted as a #2 receiver. That wasn't his role when he was successful in 2018.

    Again, Pete fucked up 2019. But last few games of that season we got the right guy, who was Bynum.

    If anyone knows Osbourne's dad, tell him to come post here. He can say anything he wants, except for calls for genocide

    Full support.

    That was a Pete problem. Over complex shitty playbook combined with devotion to seniority. That doomed Spiker and Osborne as long as Fuller and Baccellia were around.

    Fast forward to year 1 of Jimmy. Puka, Jalen, and Rome are all better than Spiker and Osborne. Plus Junior never recruited them, so they don't play.

    Two seasons, two different reasons those guys didn't play. Also, maybe the coaches were pissed about Austin's dad on Dman. He's been bitching for a while.

    Yeah I get all that. I think there was more to them being buried in 2018-2019 than ability. Smart move for their careers would have been to leave sooner with no hard feelings rather than lingering and airing things out on the internet.
