So you basically want to waste a drive on a team that is struggling on offense so you can watch a QB that runs? Lebby has given KT some one read plays- and KT usually runs on those too. Happened against Tennessee.Quote:

Very, very few posters on this board have even a basic level of football knowledge.Quote:

If nothing else, you put out there that KT will throw the ball, his short yardage series will be much more effective. What we got to lose? 16 straight sec games?Quote:

Also to be clear, players should turn off the phone when playing, I relize it's the world we live in and as a society in America and the world, it's gotten out of hand and sickening to me. Do it private but stay off social media about players or at least choose words more carefully!
Hey, blast me all you want, I ain't preaching plus I may have choice words but it's more in public.
100% agree. It has gotten way out of hand attacking players, especially on social media. I searched Blake Shapen on Twitter after the game and some of the stuff I saw, from people whose bio says they are True Maroon or whatever, was just sickening. Like he lost a game and lost in excruciating fashion but some of the comments went way over the line.Quote:

KT cost us a TD vs A&M with the motion penaltyQuote:

Once the offseason gets here- he will begin film study sessions and such to help him continue to get better and learn whats going on. He will have time to throw routes on certain days and all that. Then Spring practice begins where he will be 6 months older and more used to the speed at which he has to play at. Again- Eli Manning RS'ed. Dak did too. Cam Newton didnt do anything his 1st 2 years of college and then showed at in juco in his 3rd year. This year's Heisman frontrunner at the moment- Ty Simpson- RS'ed his Freshman year. Sayin at Ohio State RS'ed also.Quote:

One lineman jumped. Hard to pin that on KT. If it were 2-3 guys that moved, probably soQuote:

Best advice. My oldest kid got off of it for toxic friends/connections. Other than this board, I do very little on social media and happier for it.Quote:
