    Just make college like the pros. You sign a contract with a team, you get paid, NIL is handled via agents, unions, agreements, etc. There's no transfer portal, just free agency if you sign a contract for less than three years, etc. College is only masquerading as amateur at this point. Stop...

    This. Do away with the NIL nonsense and just have players sign contracts. Currently the system is chaotic and incredibly shady.

    I have no problem with players getting paid but since they are I think they should have to sign contracts like the pros do. No more transfer portal shopping around every year. You sign for 3 years and can't play for any other school for that time.

    I don't see how the Falcons can justify giving Morris another year. He's not a first time head coach figuring out the job. This is his third stint as a HC if you count his year as interim. Everyone was making excuses for his awful HC record when he was hired and it turns out the excuses...

    The Falcons are the worst run franchise in football. They legitimately hired Raheem Morris, a guy with one of the worst HC records of anyone alive (minimum 50 games) because their front office was afraid of losing power. Blank was high on Belichick but BB would likely try to take over the front...

    Georgia had the ball down close, poised to score a TD twice and came away with 3 points. Once they fumbled and the other they had the dumb sideline infraction. Without those mistakes I think they probably punch it into the end zone both times. Georgia out gained ND 300 to 244. The area where...

    UGA couldn't get out of their own way. All year this was a sloppy team. It's uncharacteristic for Kirby Smart. I think a lot of it has to do with the fact Georgia's assistants are terrible. The good ones have all been poached leaving only guys no one wants. If Georgia plays cleaner they maul...

    Morris wasn't stuck with Cousins, he actively campaigned for him. In one of his interviews with Blank he laid out his plan to compete immediately and signing Cousins was the lynchpin. He then bungled the handling of Cousins as it was obvious he had nothing in the tank long before he was pulled...

    Odd clock management is being kind. It was an absolutely epic screw up by Morris. He said he hoped to get the snap off quicker and save a time out. There's 30 seconds on the clock and you have 2 time outs. What are you saving them for?!?! Raheem Morris was a disaster in Tampa and wasn't great...

    Barring an improbable deep playoff run, TF has to be gone. I just don't see how, after barely surviving Smith's departure, he could screw up with Cousins this badly and keep his job. The guy is a lousy GM. Personally, I'd clean house. Fire TF, McKay, and the entire coaching staff. Then I'd go...

    Looking towards 2025

    I don't buy that AA intends to exceed the luxury tax again. He might be willing to in the right situation but that situation hasn't arisen and doesn't look to arise. I think he foresaw there being no fit to spend on and is using that towards the team's long term advantage. He could prove me...

    This is 100% accurate. The fact the front office and Morris didn't do this should cost them their jobs. Just total incompetence.

    I hated the Cousins signing because I thought it was basically lighting money on fire but I hated signing him and drafting Penix even more. If you sign Cousins, you need to use that first rounder to go for it all. Cousins was a win now move. I'd you draft Penix then you sign a stop gap who...

    I'll let Morris' career record speak for itself. To say Cousins velocity isn't there is an understatement. Balls are floating on him. He probably should have had 4 picks again yesterday. It took Drake London wrestling for the ball and a favorable call by the officials just to keep him from 3...

    I'm pretty sure one of the main reasons Fontenot was able to get Morris hired by Blank was by the two of them convincing Blank the Falcons could compete immediately and signing Cousins was part of that. Fontenot campaigned hard to get Morris hired as the alternative was Belichick who was...
