Gwilly, one of these days I'm taking you to the Grove. Everyone needs to do it proper at least one time in their life. I don't want you to be sad. I want you to think only of all the beautiful women.

You think Brady tears it up in Tampa? Arians + Brady is something I'm super excited about.

You think people really believe that? Maybe they do, I don't know, but Brady is almost universally considered the GOAT for a reason.

Totally agree.

Yeah this isn't even debatable. This definitely is. I'm not sure that I agree with it, but it will likely be proven out as DAG said earlier.

If we're framing the discussionaround how good these guys actually are as individual players, I totally agree.

It will help...I'm very curious to watch both guys play. That said, if Stidham doesn't succeed in the NFL, it's hard to quantify what that says about him as a college QB, if anything at all. On the other hand, if he succeeds, it probably says a lot.

Pure speculation on my part, fwiw.

Yeah, even with better protection, I agree Stidham never showed anything like the ability Burrow did as far as pocket presence.

I think Stidham would have adjusted to their system much better than he did to ours. Burrow was also well protected most of the season. Comfort in the system and confidence in your line make a big difference in the pocket. I'm not saying he would have put huge numbers to a certainty, but I think we would have seen a different Stidham than the one we saw at Auburn.

If it were with Jarrett Stidham at QB (circa 2018)? Just a thought that occurred to me recently. I think Burrow was perfection, and I don't think Stidham would have achieved the same numbers, but I think he could have come close. I really do.

This is such a great post. And also a little frightening how closely it mirrors my inner-monologue when grilling conecuh, save for the Kerri Strug analogy, which is beyond my genius.

Loved and laughed

Fresh seafood is so hard to beat. Almost as much as the unique beauty of the low country and intertidal waterways, it's my favorite part about visiting. Luckily, I think I've just about perfected CQ's Salmon, so I can recreate it for ourselves.

The rental is in Sea Pines, so I assume we have private access. I spoke to the rental company about 1.5 weeks ago and they had not changed any policies regarding cancellations. We're driving and were only planning on eating out once or twice originally, so staying in won't really be a bummer. It was originally planned as a typical island trip, but I think we're all happy to stay in - the house has a big kitchen and a pool. So, in total there will be 10 of us, including three young ones. Basically my wife's family. Curious to know whether we would be ticketed on the beach. That would certainly be a deterrent. Obviously, there are a myriad of concerns that we are considering, but at this point not willing to cancel in hopes that the situation will begin to improve by May. Subject to change. Rental company is "The Vacation Company" fwiw.
