Against my judgment, I turned Finebaum on today. Apparently, Stidham is going to be on the show today, if anyone is interested. WDE

Glad to say... no MMW; doesn't count.

MMW: Miami wins the ACC! MMW: CCL wins the Broyles! MMW: Carlton Davis wins the Thorpe!

I'm okay with this. In a few of the plays, he didn't HAVE to make any second reads. Couple that with the fact it was a SPRING GAME (vanilla offense) with a guy that has only been with the team 3-5 months. Also, with Oklahoma, he was a true freshman (although an early enrollee) and still stepped up to the plate and played admirably. What was the point of the Cam Newton insert? All the examples weren't even read plays. It was a pump and go to the primary receiver. If he's saying Stidham will be in the same gameplan as Cam, I ain't mad at all. Not much weight in this for me.

Also watching that game. Also pissed at that knee-down no-call.

Mr. Cox is such the diplomat. Such a likeable dude. I have always had a soft-spot for FB/H-Backs; hope he keeps on keepin on!

3 crystal balls in the past hour or two to the good guys. I do believe he's next; we shall see.

That's scary...

Thanks! That was a brain fart. I can dig all that. Great points. (still scared)

Love the post; great breakdown. I'm primarily scared in regards to 2. The pessimist in me is comparing this to 2008 when we hired Tony Franklin and Loeffler in 2012. I understand those are worst-case scenarios, and I'm likely being overly half-empty, but it seems like when we go "against the grain," we crap out. That said, I am completely sold on Stidham with White as a back-up, and I think the OL will be a force to be reckoned with if they gel early in camp. Skills position is sewed up with Kyle Davis and NCM wide (among others) and Jason Smith and JF3 in slots (I have high hopes in getting that kid the ball). I'm stoked as all hell with a legit TE/big WR prospect in Sal Cannella (hoping he has hit the weights hard) and legit TE Brandon Fulse. RB is stacked with a great duo in KP and KJ and Chandler Cox in there for a H-Back and change-of-pace RB. Defense was a strength last year for once in a long while, so I really hope we continue momentum there, and I have faith it will be a strength. ST, same boat. New staff, and in need of a punter, but I have faith. Offensive philosophy just scares me. Time will tell! I've heard great things about CCL, but I had with TF and SL also.

You keep mentioning BF... typo?

With all due respect, doesn't a recruit become a player once they have signed the papers? Saying somebody is the MOST IMPORTANT RECRUIT in history definitely does not equate to the MOST IMPORTANT PLAYER in history (or decade, whatever). It's impossible to compare a recruit to a player...

The whole saga has been strange...

If anyone needs, it's on ESPN2; my guide says 30 for 30.

Wow.
