Surprised by this, to be honest.

Not at all surprising to me. Never been more obvious that a QB didn't have the mental toughness or commitment to succeed in the NFL. Between the problems at Clemson, the Buffalo night club incident, the leaked weed smoking on Instagram, his rap sheet is pretty long. That doesn't even account for the fact that he comes from a Playstation offense that doesn't even remotely prepare any QB's for the NFL.Quote:

I've said several times that I'm impressed Freeze was able to scheme to get as much production out of him as he did.
I'm sure the NFL scouts looked at Freeze's masterful coaching successes with Lil' Kimchee and Big "I'd Have To Say Yeah" Softy and knew exactly what they were gonna get with Swag.
The word in the NFL is Freeze can't get 'em ready for grownup football.
Maybe he can play TE for somebody since our TE decided to play QB.
Lol.Quote:

I would have been more surprised if he had been invited.
This statement is one of the many reasons why our school and fan base is and always will be head and shoulders above OM. You see talent in a kid who plays for the hated in-state rival and want better for him because you know that he won't develop where he is. I don't know if this is what you meant or not, but it's how I perceived it. OM wouldn't give a damn one way or another.Quote:

But....but, he was better than Dak! So was Bo Wallace. These NFL GM's must have a vendetta against Ole Miss.***
Besides the obvious personality traits he also never met a throw he didn't like. In college he got lucky quite a few times just trying to throw it in there or throw it up for grabs to good receivers. Professional defensive backs would humiliate him more often than not. He can spin the ball though.
Wonder if the Bills use a 7th round selection on him, just because of who is uncle is.....
You have to wonder if Jim is ever going to get tired of taking up for his complete screw up of a nephew.Quote:

Yep. He got bailed out on many passes by his receivers, who also likely won't play in the NFL because they are clueless about the nuances of the position.Quote:

Are they still debating who the best #10 is ?? Honestly some of those stupid ****s actually thought Swag > Eli.
Wait....you mean throwing 50/50 balls in a playground offense doesn't prepare you for the NFL?**
Some y'all are hitting on type other big thing. If you're a QB who wants to get to the NFL and decide to play in Hugh Freeze's system, that's like taking remedial math and thinking that will make you a chemical engineer.
heck he can't be any worse than what they already have. Dam they can get him and String fellow pretty dam cheap.Quote:
