I knew someone will post it.

You failed your own policy ....

 

[64Tide]

We need 3 inside LB's

I would try 18 out this spring at ILB. He seems to have football savvy. O had zero instincts as an ILB. His 1st step was late and then he got covered up by the OL. Glad that cat is gone.

This the #0…,made one memorable play, stripped the ball from SCar QB

 

[Justneedme81]

...and LB's...

And long snapper.

Can't create a policy if I'm not admin

TS is projected to be the third QB taken I hope he goes I'm ready for a change.

I'd prefer he stay and play another year with, hopefully, better players for the scheme. Give bama a qb with 3 years in the system and significant in game experience. I think Russell will be a good, maybe great, qb but all we have right now is a lot of high school tape, info from practice, and some garbage time play. If he's ready let him beat Ty for the job, if not there is a first round projected pick starting next year.

You are certainly entitled to your opinion most fans I know are ready for a change.

Who's most fans?
It's usually the one who doesn't know the full details behind his struggles ...

-Lower back injury vs. South Carolina impacted him the rest of the season.

-Gastritis from the anti-inflammatory for his lower back.

-Elbow bursitis vs. Georgia in the SEC title game (impacted CFP).

-Broken rib vs. Indiana.

Then you had OL line struggling with protections at times. TY deserves some of the blame but not all is on him enough for you to say that you are ready for a change. He is a first year starter. C'mon .

I get this and It make sense. For me, I think he does need to come back but I wouldn't be upset if he left.... I'm okay with it either way

This sports is nothing but change. I wouldn't mind a little stability.

Dumb-ass read my post " most fans I know" ...... I do by best not to read your posts because you are the biggest know-it-all on the board. So once again don't quote me so I don't have to read your BS. And who the fuck are you to tell me what I should think?

...... What? Yo man chill with name calling. You're going too far with this.... This is second time you've done that. Nobody is telling you what to think or what to say.... I was just making conversation and pointing out things about most fans who probably don't realize the full extent of Ty struggles.

It's called having dialogue on a social media. You don't have to agree, or continue conversation.

But let me be clear on this..... I don't insult you. I don't call you names. I don't disrespect you. I don't talk to you in any kind of way that would warrant disrespect from me at all. I expect the same from you... This is the last time you'll call me out of my name. Cool? I'm very clear on this and it's not negotiable. So I'm firmly telling you .. chill with the name calling. I'm not addressing this anymore. Now, back to the regular program.
