On managing young talent

Except Akeem played in 2017, wasn’t very productive, and got beat out by the player that was playing at a higher level. The one that was drafted higher in the NFL and made an active roster. He probably sticks around awhile too. If anything, that’s proof that the coaches okay the best player.ToddTurnerLIVES said:
Sirom and Yankoff entered the transfer portal after Spring and Pete had to go talk Sirmon off the ledge to get him to come back. Azeem, a fan-favorite and leader in the locker room was left to die on the vine in a position room that sorely lacked depth. Those are concrete examples of talent mismanagement.bananasnblondes said:Your entire take is based on projection that hasn't happened. I actually do think Spiker may transfer, not because he isnt getting time but because he has absolutely sucked ass at catching the ball in practice. Do you want Pete playing a guy who sucks at practice just because hes a 4* recruit and you want to keep him happy?
Puka is getting reps and will continue to get more, hes just not getting the ball thrown to him.
And no, if a guy sucks I don't want him to play. I just have a hard time believing that Spiker sucks so much that he has earned essentially zero in-game reps. -
Except if we aren't playing McMillan, either TBSing is broken, or the coaches are FS about seniority. He's a borderline 5* that has film that shows he's a more or less complete receiver with the physical tools to play today.bananasnblondes said:
Next year will be the same shit except it will be "why aren't we playing McMillan and Rome?"RoadDawg55 said:The OP is off his rocker. How are Spiker or Osborne elite talents? Because of their high school rating.
Spiker ran a 4.8 at a camp. He was ranked highly because of his high school production, not because he’s an incredible athlete. Osborne was a mid 4 star recruit. Neither of these guys are going to be stars.
Nothing wrong with that. Not every 4 star is going to be a really good player. Star ratings are percentages. That’s it. Quit taking them so literally.
Oh and "why the fuck didnt we redshirt Fuller?" -
Eifler blows

Are you seriously propping up Azeem as an example? His NFL career (or lack thereof) is proof positive that the guy stopped giving a shit and was just mailing it in towards the end. Starting BBK over him was an absolute no brainer. All of Azeem's shortcomings were his fault and no one else's.ToddTurnerLIVES said:

Yankoff SUCKED ASS. He would have never seen the field.ToddTurnerLIVES said:

Azeem dug his own grave, that had nothing to do with the coaches.
Bad examples. -
Arguing that Azeem should have started over BBK is not only dumb but flies in the face of "we should play the young guys" argument. Azeem was great as a junior but something happened before his senior year that he never recovered from. When he did play as a senior he looked like a 40 year old drunk guy running around out there with a big beer gut and talking shit after every play.
