    lol you couldn't have a more devastating injury to this team than gaines

    amazing

    Disagree, slightly.

    Losing Black Beast is worse.

    Good thing we don't have to worry about that anymore!
    losing hunter bryant is not worse than losing greg fucking gaines.
    I know it's going to be an unpopular take but hear me out.

    Right now Aaron Fuller is our best pass catcher. I like Fuller and think he's underrated here but he's best suited as a #3, at best.

    Bryant would be by far our best threat in the passing game, at least out of the gate. We have no BTEs behind him who can stretch the defense unless Culp is far more ready than I expect.

    I think the people behind and around Gaines are more ready to fill in for him than the people and around behind Bryant.

    I'm not saying for the whole season but for the Auburn game, which basically is the season.

    I think our receiving core will be very good by the end of the year but like Auburn's OL I don't think they'll be good out of the gate. For this game I think we can handle Auburn's OL without Gaines. I think Bryant would be a bigger difference maker.
    I think much like a lot of our "talent" our receivers will be good against lesser talent but inadequate against the big boys. I'm hoping that at the end of the year getting Hunter back and maybe being able to burn those four games for a redshirt freshmen will give us the talent depth needed in the Pac championship and our bowel game.

    Who is the black beast?

    Fuck you fat ass. Nobody cares what you think. You're a WSU fan on a UW board.

    At this point in his career they're going to hold him out if he gets a paper cut. Not worried about him. He'll be ready to go. It's good that some other guys behind him are getting more reps in practice.

    You explained your rationale well, but I still think it is wrong.

    Reasonable people can disagree!

    Gaines is a much bigger loss
