I agree. And it makes me wonder if the kid is afraid of the unknown, the high expectations. Maybe he is a loyal local kid. Or maybe he lacks the mental fortitude.
He lacks "the mental fortitude" because he refused to transfer to a place where it's easier to win? Football and fans have really changed. Wasn't that long ago that people were criticizing players for being "disloyal" and questioning their character. Now, we have players being criticized for being too loyal lol.
The last couple of games Simpson has not looked good at all. Lets see how he plays against a very good Oklahoma team, who the Tide lost to earlier in the year 23-21.
I need to take a closer look at Sorsby. I get the feeling that McVay wants a mobile QB. Sorsby is big, athletic, and has a strong arm. Looking at his stats, it appears he's been up and down this year, so I want to see why.
My initial impression is I'm not sold on Simpson. His deep ball accuracy is really bad when we're talking about potential 1st round prospects and I think that's where you have to start when you're trying to find a potential difference maker at QB.
I hope he's returns to school just to stop all the "let's draft Norris" talk. He ain't near ready to play in the NFL. Anthony Richardson 2.0.
After Mendoza, I wouldn't use either of our 1st rounders on a QB. Especially if MS9 plans on returning for even just one more season.
Easy tiger. We don't know his motivations. Truth is he is all upside. Played like dogshit behind a dogshit line then went back to the same trough for more.
I was also (and still am primarily) a metal head and ALSO went to see Prince on the Purple Rain tour, haha. Good times.
I still kick myself for not going to any of their concerts.... heard they were great. I was too much of a bullet headed metal fan.... though I did go to Prince's Purple Rain tour.
Say whaaaaa? I had a few IROCs myself back in the day, and I only remember them being available in hard top or T-top. Only sunroof I ever saw on an F Body of that era was an aftermarket job that leaked worse than the T-tops did, haha.
Hopefully he finishes strong. That benefits us either way.
What matters is the busty babe in the passenger seat.
Oklahoma is an excellent test and then Indiana. So, lets see what Simpson has? I still see him as more of a backup option at the next level, but against the likes of Oklahoma and Indiana, I hope he proves me wrong.
Funny story used to work with a lady that had a t top trans am back in the day. She thought it would be a great idea to have the custom plate "TplssTA"
Yeah, I'm going to go out on a limb and say that the QB who refuses to transfer from his struggling team because he wants to turn things around is not less of a "competitor" than the QB who looks for an easier situation to win.
If someone is determined to be successful despite more risk, doesn't that mean they have more mental fortitude, not less?
It's fair to doubt him as a passer. He needs work there. My objection is to questioning his intangibles because he refuses to transfer. (And let's be honest, Taysom Hill doesn't lack competitiveness.)
Precisely my point.
My comment was in part because you were so quick to act like the kid is sticking around due to only good reasons. Trying to keep it real. There could be much more in play in that young head of his, and we don't know what his motivation is.
