One is a solid athlete, and one is a world-class athlete. That's about where the buck stops for me. Stroud looks awesome, his ceiling isn't AR's. Stroud was always the more sure thing coming out of college.
Richardson showed he has way more than just potential, that's what I'm saying. Someone on here mentioned the Colts should have gone with Levis and not AR. 😆... idk I find it funny ARs injury has skewed judgment/still super effing annoyed we lost him for the year. Colts might be 6-4/7-3 had he not gotten hurt.
CJs been really good, I think he is going to be the 2nd best QB in this draft. Which, I thought that pre draft, as well.
But make no mistake... I would have no interest in an even swap, Stroud for Richardson.
this is the one where we take money from our pockets and send it directly to the athletes of our favorite school, in hopes they won't transfer? Is this that one? or?
NIL is wild to me lol
dressed up as "Hoosiers connect" 😆
They got him Thielen. That's literally the best FA WR that I can remember.
Acquiring talent/weapons through FAs really doesn't happen. Contrary to Colts fans beliefs.
We had Colts fans clamoring that Ballard was clueless he didn't sign Jarvis Landry and Allen Robinson two years ago....
Weapons are drafted or traded for. There really isn't an example or many examples to offset that.
I still don't see that UM gained that big of an advantage. Or really any advantage, and there are other teams doing shit very similar.
Hard for me to care about this.
But just execution it took to go from 48-42 FGCU with 1050 on the clock to 61-50 with 4 mins to go. Massive stretch right there.
But that isn't the whole story.... You also have Malik playing a completely new role with big-time added expectations and importance. Same with Gunn/Banks.
All of that is normal for any team (players in different roles than the year prior).. but it doesn't mean there isn't a learning curve. 5 of our top 8 are new with one of those coming back from not playing since early last December and Malik playing a much more prominent role.
