the issue that stands out, at least to me, is the 4 star QB recruits at Georgia, he had to beat out.
Come on man. You're trying to create a self fulfilling prophecy. I see lots of discussion here without to what you're alluding.
Many top QBs were 5th year seniors. The fact that he had a 5 star recruit come in and get the nod, then he transfers, adds a year, then he is on the outside trying to get in while they have another highly regarded young gun doesn't really tell me much about his football IQ. It tells me he would need to climb a pretty tall hill at 5'11" to take over starter duties. Is that heart? Brains? Quickness? All of the above? I don't know but it's fairly remarkable any way you look at it.
The fun part for me is watching the reports about him looking and doing good in OTA's and knowing people who aren't high on Bennett will call it coach speak or team speak and ask what else anybody thinks would be said. As 503 said people are focused on self fulfilling prophecies. To some he'll never be good enough and it's sad so many people have made up their minds about him, and other players and positions as well.
I hate that stuff.
I didn't want to draft him, I'd have preferred a couple others but I didn't dislike the guy or the pick or where we picked him. Willing to give him a chance and like what I see/hear about him so far.
that is why i looked up the stats, a 4th round pick has a 6% chance of becoming a starter, this according to FORBES, so the pick is no big deal
if its not it will soon be, but it sure is record for a 4th round pick.
Could be. Hard to say. We have a pretty active membership so we do get some long threads at times. Funny too because if I recall correctly, there are more posts per page than other boards as well.
Let me introduce you to my little friend..
This reminds me of the "Aaron Donald hold out thread" back a few years ago. I believe that was the longest thread on an active player. He was holding out and we were losing our ever loving minds as fans, I mean ready to jump out a window if we lost him, and all Aaron would say is "it's between my agent and them" . I think we all came on the board 50 times a day and night seeing for any news that they worked it out and signed him to a long term deal. He was worth every penny and every sleepless night.
