Nobody actually believes you when you say I lied or can't read, but it keeps getting funnier the more times try to save face with that line instead of admitting you were wrong. You can still critique our offense while acknowledging that BV knows a little bit about LBs.

Also want to highlight how hilarious it is that Teddy is considered the ultimate authority on LBer play, while questioning the very coach who taught him how to play LBer. And also taught the Butkus award winner right before him. Yeah, we probably shouldn't have any faith in the LB that BV...

I don't follow that pod has religiously as you do, but if Teddy is comparing him to Stutsman, a LB that had 124 tackles as a sophomore...that's pretty high praise! Sounds like an upgrade, which is what pretty much everybody has said.

Oh 100%. I absolutely would not have bedwet about losing a backup while retaining our proven starter, who would have been drafted had he closed to turn pro. But like usual, when our staff decides they truly want a guy, we simply don't lose defenders. I'm sure it'll happen eventually, but it...

PJ was a guy I was worried about losing. Very talented but has had to compete with a lot of really good players, so playing time probably not what he'd hoped thus far. He entered the portal but is already out. The impressive retention rates continue! We rarely lose guys we want to keep.

When I compare QBs, I want to see their contribution to winning. It doesn't matter how they do it. Regardless, I mentioned about 10 other reasons QBR is a better metric, even if we excluded the QB run game because...well I actually don't know why we're excluding plays that they are performing...

Both metrics will suffer with poor OL play. Even if not sacked, if you're under pressure, almost all metrics are going to be worse if given a large enough sample size. That's going to be true of all team sports, as it's simply not possible to isolate outside of individual sports or 1 on 1...

Would love to hear more about this. Please give at least one example.

Correct, QBR is very different than passer rating (or passer efficiency as it's called in college football). Also correct that you're in the minority for using the outdated formula created in 1973 when we had limited technology to compute advanced stats. - Passer rating values a 7 yard throw...

What do you think QBR stands for?

Maybe if they had better culture, 4 of their top 5 skill position players wouldn't have entered the portal.

Half this board explained to you the difference between QBR and passer rating, and somehow you still lack the intelligence to understand the difference.

Sandell is returning, so not sure how that's a lie. I would say that stating Beck's QBR as 37 points higher when it was 16 was a lie, but lies imply intent, and I think you just simply can't handle basic numbers.

Sandell returning! Rough offseason for those that continually mock our culture.

Depends on how the season finishes.
