Interesting to see those comments. Most of the stories I read lately are debating if the LSU guy should be taken before Drake, with Drake sliding to QB3.
At this point, I always wonder if those are reality based or designed to draw clicks during voids. One thing that hasn't been mentioned when I've seen Caleb and Drake compared are the demands/family backgrounds. Some interesting stuff came out from Caleb's dad last year where they allegedly wanted a percentage of ownership as part of any team drafting him. NFL quickly and quietly came out with a rule prohibiting it and it went away. But, I think it speaks volumes about how they see themselves respectively when you start making comparisons. This is going to be a fun ride. I just hope Drake goes somewhere that the circumstances are relatively fair for him to succeed.Interesting to see those comments.

It's based on emotion. A Heisman winner is always going to get a bump, especially before the combine. I suspect that Drake will move back to a solid #2 after the combine.At this point, I always wonder if those are reality based or designed to draw clicks during voids.

You are not wrong. There is a reason this period of time is known as the Lying Season.lol at ownership stake.
I agree with your first thought but I also think sometimes teams plant stories in the media to throw other teams off their scent. With regard to potential trades, it can behoove certain teams for stuff like this to come out.
denver/payton want mccarthy and they need assets to trade for him based on what i’m reading…sam would just sit there.Sam to the Seahawks. Was hoping Denver might get him, but pretty much anyone is better than Washington.
My scenario didn't include them going after another QB.denver/payton want mccarthy and they need assets to trade for him based on what i’m reading…sam would just sit there.
Does this change the scenarios much? How does this force the ACC to settle? Or how might it make an exit less insanely expensive? I haven't been paying a ton of attn.Dominoes are starting to fall.
Clemson files lawsuit against ACC over exit fees
In a lawsuit filed Tuesday in South Carolina, Clemson calls the ACC withdrawal penalty "unconscionable" and "unenforceable."www.espn.com
It doesn't force them to do anything, but now you are fighting two court battles (my guess UNC will file their own before EOY, so soon to be 3). These are the types of situations where no one wants to go to court and go through depositions. There's a reason all these conferences settle. It took about two years for the ACC to settle with Maryland, so it's not going to happen soon, but it's the beginning of the end for the current ACC as we know it.Does this change the scenarios much?

Hope springs. Of course we have no idea what college fball will even look like 2 yrs from now.It doesn't force them to do anything, but now you are fighting two court battles (my guess UNC will file their own before EOY, so soon to be 3).

Is he playing football this year?I’m really REALLY pulling hard for the kid and like him a lot but it’s gotta be said (and no I ain’t got the balls to say it in radar)….cadeau is not coming close to living up to the hype. Everyone likes him and makes excuses for him and that’s fine. But all know is what I see and that ain’t nowhere close to what we were told to expect. I hope he can turn it around.
Maybe that’s why he’s struggling. Why is he playing football? WthIs he playing football this year?
I never paid attention to whatever "hype" there was for him. I think he's been a great addition to this group. I didn't know he was supposed to be a prodigy. He doesn't "look" like a prodigy, but looks can be deceiving sometimes.Maybe that’s why he’s struggling. Why is he playing football? Wth
he might be gold in the triple optionMaybe that’s why he’s struggling. Why is he playing football? Wth
People on radar were saying he was going to be just as good, if not better than Ford.I never paid attention to whatever "hype" there was for him. I think he's been a great addition to this group.

I'd like to see him come back for a sophomore season.
I hope so, his deep ball isn't going to scare anybody..he might be gold in the triple option
Oh... well, I dunno how you can even compare those two. I know Ford was an all-time UNC guard and legacy player. He won the Case trophy as a freshman, I think.People on radar were saying he was going to be just as good, if not better than Ford.
The way I understood it was that a big part of the reasoning for what’s his name transferring to Ariz was to make room for EC Leaving high school early as the next great pg. although there was other stuff too I guess chemistry wise. I’ve seen prob 1/3 of the games. To my untrained eye he’s not a 5 star elite talent. He can’t shoot a lick, can’t play defense, and commits stupid fouls. The “experts” claim when he’s on the floor there’s better spacing and ball movement and so on and he does avg a decent amount of assists. So that’s good. I just see a kid struggling. But I’m also the guy who said Felton 2 would have his jersey in the rafters.Oh... well, I dunno how you can even compare those two. I know Ford was an all-time UNC guard and legacy player.

Elliot definitely seems to help the overall effectiveness of this team. He could definitely become one of the greats, I'm sure. He's barely a freshman!
Sounds like unrealistic expectations from people whose optimism and zeal clouded their judgement. If he was the catalyst for Love transferring, then I think everyone benefited from that.The way I understood it was that a big part of the reasoning for what’s his name transferring to Ariz was to make room for EC Leaving high school early as the next great pg. although there was other stuff too I guess chemistry wise.

when i saw ray play in the hs title game here i thought he was going to be ford…i have never seen a high school guard carry a team to a title like that…he was an amazing player, probably my favorite with cota.I’m also the guy who said Felton 2 would have his jersey in the rafters.

those aren't Carolina fans on Blitz? I've seldom seen so many fans overhype a player so much. I've been around a while and I've seen some overhype. His overhype was right on up there. I guess they were just desperate for some salvation.For starters, I don’t specifically remember many Carolina fans overhyping Cadeau.
yes…he’s fantastic eye level, just not a scorer on every level…and that’s ok, just like marshall.those aren't Carolina fans on Radar? I've seldom seen so many fans overhype a player so much.

After a while, I made the comment I just hope he doesn't trip over his cape (cause you know, superheroes wear capes a lot). So he turned out not to be quite what they thought he would be. But I think he turned out to be just what we needed, and if he sticks around long enough, he might even end up being more than we ever hoped for.
He has some limitations, but what floored me is the way he stepped into that aftermath of a train wreck and from the get-go ran the floor like he'd been on the job a year already.
I don't think Cadeau will be the assist machine that Easy Ed was, but then Ed had some special help since it takes two players to complete an assist.yes…he’s fantastic eye level, just not a scorer on every level…and that’s ok, just like marshall.
to me right now, he’s cota plus the motor…cota found his shot later.
Man you coulda said “cota plus the mota” and won the internet today. But you blew ityes…he’s fantastic eye level, just not a scorer on every level…and that’s ok, just like marshall.

The anticipation can hardly be contained!We're playing football again this year. Well, we are going to attempt to play.
Kinda hurts the ACC, but with a 12 team playoff they could still make it.The anticipation can hardly be contained!
Looks like GT had fun today!
