You value experience, I value feet.  

I value both actually. Just could not understand preferring an unproven mobile guy when we already had one in TJ. Granted he is gone now

Mendoza + Hemby would be an absolute dreaaaammmm

Yea.  Not fun waiting to see where these two sign.  We need 'em, and some OL, and some edge rushers.  And we have to keep our key guys until the portal closes in six days.  Cig said 80% of the good portal players are signed already.  Going to be a huge week!

Football is a game of inches, not feet.

I think Beau is significantly better than TJ, especially his feet.  

I don't believe in unproven either.  You can play or can't play.  

I think we fare better at ND if Beau is our Q over Rourke and Kurtis is experienced. Kurtis is experienced and was awful with pressure in face/evading... 

Not all that relevant.. we aren't getting Beau.

I think Pribula visited Ole Miss before he was supposed to visit IU, maybe they locked him up.

Mendoza seems like he can run if needed so I'd be fine with him.

I think you are overselling a quarterback's feet.  Tennessee's quarterback can run.  Did absolutely nothing against Ohio State.

 No, I don’t think I am. 

We won't ever beat a top team without a QB that can move. Rourke was awful in evading pressure against ND. 

[Certified Sunshine Pumper 9,216]

What advantage did Rourke "incredible accuracy" do for us against ND and OSU? 

Not a damn thing.

I like Mendoza a lot. We certainly won't allow him to be sacked 40+ times in a season.

OL. Need to add depth and upgrade the OL, priority number one. 

[Napleshoosier 10,355]

Cig said we had seven visitors yesterday.  Do we have any names?

Any potential targeted names? Really wanted the Bowling Green OT just for his rating and position alone.

Can any of them punt? They look kind of small to be linemen.

What advantage did Nico Iamavela's legs do against Ohio State for Tennesse?

Not a damn thing.

That's absurd. He was the only reason they moved the ball.

Doc, but he's primarily a kicker.

Anyway, we already signed a punter.

[Certified Sunshine Pumper 9,216]

Kinda crazy to watch Rourke be completely worthless, a net negative in our two biggest games and then not realize we need a QB with feet.

You're absurb.  He was 14 of 31 for 104 yards.  If you can't protect your quarterback, the ability to run is lipstick on a pig.
