...... 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.

I will be very clear you do not tell me what I should think as-in I don't have a right to want a change .... once again if you don't quote me we will not be here it's very simple and you not being negotiable is funny as shit.

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

I completely understand, that's wishing away a really good QB who would be miles ahead of a RS Fr. (assuming Russell takes over) in terms of pre-snap and post-snap reads, behind what will be an all new (4 out of 5 spots) offensive line and a new starting TE.
 
A little dive into the numbers on Hollywood Smothers...

-Zero fumbles on 160 carries this season. 1 fumble on 88 carries last season.

-The last 2 seasons, he has 44 runs of 10+ yards on 248 carries. Alabama only had 42 of those this season on 466 carries.

-This past season, on 78 carries, he averaged 6.8 yards up the middle in the 1-4 gaps. For a smaller guy, that's making shit happen.

-In 2024, on 52 carries, he averaged 7.4 yards up the middle in the 1-4 gaps. Maybe we should hire their OL coach too?

-He's a good receiver out of the backfield... 19 grabs for 263 yards (13.8 YPC), 2 TD's and 1 drop in 2024. For some reason, this past season, he nearly doubled his catches, but his total yardage was less... 37 receptions for 189 yards (5.1 YPC) with 1 TD and no drops.
