His name is Parson, Chris Parson. There is no "s" at the end.
Everyone wants to be a beast...until its time to do what beasts do.

Another factor is this: You get Gabriel, you attract other top talent at WR And TE.

And you're right about qb too. Have to get that position right and then the rest will start to fall in place.
Also will recruit for years to come. Have to show what we have and can do here. A lot harder to build after a bad year. No one will want to come. Show out and you'll have receivers, qb wanting to come in. Will have to pay then but maybe not as much or at least hopefully not have to pay more and could just match other offers and win

Lebby doesn't owe Parson anything.

I love your enthusiasm but there are 21 other players out there. It is a team sport, and we are lacking greatly across the field on both sides. We need to see what else happens for us in the portal before we start assuming any kind of finish.

meh- I was giddy over finally getting rid of the AR. I would have said the Knute Rockne's offense would look good.
We dont have players and our talent level is down. Tulu is in the portal and rumor is Z Thomas is headed to LSU- it wont help the situation either.
We need an infusion of talent desperately that will likely take a couple of cycles

I'm just saying, it happens.
exactly. Takes more than a QB

Bottom line - our team is better next year with Gabriel. Lets just make that happen first and see how much better he makes us.

You know, as much as I hate to say it, I agree with you.
College football has turned into semi-pro football with the NIL. Dont think if Parson was offered the correct sum of money that he would not leave us behind in a flat second. No one is safe anymore. If someone doesnt fit your plan, they will be cut out and that money can be used elsewhere. Think of it as making room in the salary cap, if you will.
I hate to say it but that is how it is going to be from here on out.

I can't make myself care about losing anyone from this team. This is a complete reboot. We will likely suck next year regardless

When you lose one of your best players that actually has eligibility, it stings. We have enough holes to fill wo filling his. But is what it is.....

That's fine. Can't over spend on him. Just have to find a comparable replacement. I like the Vandy WR

Usc had the heisman winner from last year and is usc and didn't do much better. I like your optimism. But it's not set in reality.
