OkI'll give you 50-1 odds on that.
Nice to dream...but don't see that happening wrassler. It would be like you pinning Dan GableKids a gunslinger! Wouldn't put it past em!
Hunter is a gunslinger and will surprise us all! You heard it here first!Nice to dream...but don't see that happening wrassler. It would be like you pinning Dan Gable
I believe Hunter can be better than Ramsey! Just watch or my name ain't Titanium999/Wrassler/ Whacko!I haven’t checked other years for comparison, but “five-star” or “top ten” does not always equate to “can’t miss.”
On the below list:
Davis Mills has been ‘fine’ at Stanford.
HuJo is still hoping for a breakthrough at his second school.
Jake Fromm is a third-string NFL’er, and Georgia fans will remember him as “the guy we chose over Justin Fields”
Robison and Hill have transferred twice.
And #9 Mac Jones was a Heisman finalist, though the third-best Heisman finalist on his team.
Wrassler...aren't you are sports psychologist? Maybe you could take on HJ as one of your clients?? HJ has all the physical skills to be as good or better than anybody. Perhaps you could tap into his skills and fix him between the ears?? If you can, I would vote for you as assistant coach of the year!I believe Hunter can be better than Ramsey! Just watch or my name ain't Titanium999/Wrassler/ Whacko!
I wouldn't call any of our players "stiffs".Not a chance. He's a stiff..
Hunter is gonna make the NFL! Jusr you watch his development this coming year! People will be saying Ramsey who?Wrassler...aren't you are sports psychologist?

It would be great, but I bet he does not even start for us. Have you seen someone as lost as Hunter appeared last year turn it around? He did not have a redeeming moment that I can recall last year that would give me hope.
It was clear in the spring game before his senior year that Kafka was going to be special. But he also excelled in our upset of Minny the season b4 when Bacher hurt his hamstring. He ran like a gazelle vs them!Uh... Mike Kafka.

The recruiting stars mean absolutely nothing when the live action starts in Power 5 football. HJ is among many many QB's who had the stars and measurables but not the intangibles that make a great QB. I know for a fact that the coaches found out pretty quickly that HJ had trouble "seeing the field" and "throwing people open". Dabo figured it out pretty quickly too. Great kid, good size and arm strength, but does have it for this level. Wish he did!

These discussion should be on the private (pay) board (or not at all)This thread sucks.
Agreed! Hunter will spend one year as the starter and then 7 years or more in the NFL.You may be correct, but with the new Offensive Coordinator his talents may well come to be optimized. That added to another year of maturity could bode well for this year’s play. On top of that, whatever injury issues he had should now be in the rear view mirror.

I'm not aware of any restrictions as to what can be posted on this board compared to the private (pay) board. Are there some?These discussion should be on the private (pay) board (or not at all)

Ramsey and RCB bailed us out on 3rd and long many, many times this year. They're both gone.
Nonetheless, I agree with what you're saying. HJ gets another shot to prove he belongs with a fresh start and a new OC/QBs coach. HJ could do much better in a run heavy offense where he's asked to occasionally place a nice deep ball, instead of constantly timing a perfect pass on a crossing route.
Kudos to EvanstonCat for resurrecting this thread. Looks like all of us are not always wrong all of the time.Hats off to the Wrassler!
I can pin that " old fart" Dan Gable! He is 72 years old and has had over 20 surgeries. Definitely can beat that dude in golf and tennis 🎾Nice to dream...but don't see that happening wrassler. It would be like you pinning Dan Gable
Hunter is very fluid, with great mechanics on the long ball. He just needs to shorten his drop ( shoulders and hips on the short passes) which I believe are corrected.What nonsense are you talking about. Hunter was in a three way battle and lost out to Kelly Bryant (incumbent starter who was ACC offensive player of the year) and once in a generational talent Trevor Lawrence.
Here's what Dabo had to say about Hunter: “But he’s an unbelievable talent and player.”
“He’s going to be a pro. He’ll be a kid that’s going to play this game a long time,” Swinney said. “Just a guy that I’ll be connected to forever. We’ll be friends forever. He’s truly one of the best players and one of the best young people that I’ve ever been around. We’re going to miss him, but wish him well. I know he’s in a good place that I think he can achieve his objectives and goals. We’ll pull for him all the way through and can’t wait to watch him be successful.”
Hunter may not win the starting job this fall nor ever play a snap for NU ever again. He may for whatever reason not be able to be our starting QB. But, please try not to rip a kid by talking from out of your ass.
That is two years of added maturityYou may be correct, but with the new Offensive Coordinator his talents may well come to be optimized. That added to another year of maturity could bode well for this year’s play. On top of that, whatever injury issues he had should now be in the rear view mirror.
So what was the bet?I'll give you 50-1 odds on that.
Wrassler = savant
LOL, you should start charging me rent for all the space I take up in your head. I like my prediction capabilities just fine. Certainly when it comes to football players. At least I have a clue what I am looking at. Do you really want to dredge up some of your finest pearls of wisdom that were spewed during some of your classic neurotic in game threads? There is a lot of material going back at least 20 years. Probably best not to go there.If its a prediction to be made, and you've got Wrassler, Corbi, and Clucko the Chicken, I'm going with Wrassler all the time. Though I imagine Clucko would give him a bit of a challenge.
OTOH, shorting Corbi's calls wouldn't be a bad strategy either.

Unfortunately, that is his most intelligent place to speak fromWhat nonsense are you talking about. Hunter was in a three way battle and lost out to Kelly Bryant (incumbent starter who was ACC offensive player of the year) and once in a generational talent Trevor Lawrence.

Yeah, let's go there.
So what have I ever said that was as wrong as McCall is a good OC, McCall is here to stay, and HJ will never start for NU again? We never poach other school commits. We only make offers to kids if they've visited campus. Oh, and my favorite, our defense and offense cannot possibly be good at the same time, because that wouldn't be complementary football. Yes, you certainly have a clue at what you're looking at.
You might not want to start with the perspective that you chastised me the most for - thinking HJ might have a chance to one day compete for the starting QB role.
In any case, I do not profess to be an expert on anything as it relates to NU football. I bow down to the Wrassler on such things, at least in relation to you. And let me be clear. I know jackshit about NU football. The only difference between me and you in that department is that I'm self aware.
