What’s your standard for his “QB to find him” ? Looking at just raw stats, Florida’s leading receiver was Ricky Pearsall (33/661/5). Their second leading receiver was Justin Shorter (29/577/2). Their third leading receiver is as Xzavier Henderson (38/410/2). Pearsall played in 13 games for Florida, Shorter played in 9 games and Henderson played in 11. Per Game: PEARSALL 2.5 REC / 51 YDS / 0.38 TD SHORTER 3.2 REC / 64 YDS / 0.22 TD HENDERSON 3.4 REC / 37 YDS / 0.18 TD Mind you, Florida was 10/14 in the SEC in passing attempts in 2022. Sure, Richardson was a 1st round pick, but it’s not like there was an abundance of opportunity to catch the football. He was 20th in receiving in the SEC as part of an offense that was towards the back half in passing.

That’s not the issue Gunner. I don’t feel strongly about Iosivas or Shorter. He can have whatever opinion he wants. It’s the inconsistent standard as to which he’s holding players to prove his point. TLDR on his views upthread: Kincaid ain’t as good as Mayer because Kincaid didn’t make an impact against Florida (SEC School). Shorter isn’t as good as Iosivas because Iosivas had more yards, receptions and TDs… but doesn’t adjust for the fact that Shorter played in the SEC.

Since I know you’re just looking at volume statistics for Iosivas and Shorter, going to point out things on per receiving snap and per target basis. Iosivas 64 Receptions 85 Targets 924 Yards 7 TD Shorter 29 Receptions 51 Targets 577 Yards 2 TDs Iosivas played in 10 games, was on the field for 358 snaps and was targeted 85 times… roughly 24% of the time. Shorter played in 9 games, was on the field for 247 snaps and was targeted 51 times… roughly 21% of the time. On a per snap basis, they were pretty damn close and Shorter played against SEC defenses… which was your own standard you put in place up thread. You’re also missing the fact that despite Anthony Richardson being a high pick, he’s a project and one of the biggest knocks is his ball placement and accuracy… which made Shorter’s job even tougher against SEC defenses. FWIW the Princeton QB was the best QB in the Ivy League… so relative to his peers (you standard not mine) he was the best.

Now we’re talking about practice?! You specifically referred to how he “played in the Senior Bowl, and still separated enough against high end talent.” Now I’m supposed to believe that separation against DBs in PRACTICE carries more weight than in-game performances against Georgia, LSU and Tennessee?

Ah yes, his wonderful Senior Bowl performance. 1 carry for -1 yards and 0 catches for 0 yards.

If Andrei Iosivas has never separated against SEC secondaries, what makes you think he will be able to separate enough against NFL secondaries? It’s not like the man played in another Power 5 conference. I know, I know… Stetson, Lehigh, Columbia, Lafayette, Brown, Harvard, Cornell, Dartmouth, Yale and Penn are likely a tougher defensive opponent than teams that Shorter played this year like #33 defense Tennessee (7/155), #1 defense Georgia (3/66) and #17 defense LSU (3/71/1).

I thought he was an All-Pro QB?

Yeah, against Ivy League schools. Your point about measuring against SEC competition is fine, you’re just manipulating when it’s applicable or not. Why are you referring to Anthony Richardson as an All-Pro QB? That’s an honor given out in the NFL. He’s never played a snap in the NFL. He wasn’t even All-SEC You’re moving the goalposts so much that you’re contradicting yourself and throwing around terms that don’t even apply to the conversation at hand.

And then simultaneously you’re in other threads advocating for the WR from Princeton, who played football powerhouses like Cornell over Justin Shorter who played in the SEC. Which one is it?

Do you expect 7th rounders to start in the NFL?

That’s like saying you don’t trust our talent scouting at QB because they took Jake Fromm.

No, that doesn’t make any sense. He was a 7th round pick.

Spector was a 7th round pick…?

Hahaha the fact that you’re lumping yourself in with Pete Prisco like it means something is hysterical It’s also “bet against Prisco and me”😂

The irony in this statement is hysterical. You don’t. You continue to remind people that you like Hall and Woolen.

Holy moly. It’s to be the year 2050 and you’re going to be telling your grand kids about the time you posted on a message board about Breece Hall and Tariq Woolen. Give it a rest.

Sprain*

Then the Mystery Machine pulls up, Scooby Doo jumps out, pulls off Brandon Beane’s mask to expose Kevin Costner as the real mastermind.

Yeah, but he’s never been particularly good at just calling plays either.

Ahh yes, avoiding the travel bans and highway closures. Classic competitive advantage. Your whole argument was that if they had a roof they could play… then the Sabres had to move a game because of weather 😂

If the current one had a roof, there’s no way they would’ve moved that game against the Blue Jackets this season. Right @SUNY_amherst ?

Jordan Addison and Sam LaPorta with our first two picks would be great gets. I’d be pretty happy all things considered. I’m in agreement with you there, that’s who should have gone off the board. I’m hoping for an OL in RD2 or RD3. Dawand Jones is interesting-ish in RD2 but he’s a RT and we have a raw athletic freak there already. I wouldn’t hate the swing though. Ultimately I’d have a hard time passing LaPorta there. Cook Harris Hines Diggs Addison Davis Harty Shakir Sherfield Knox LaPorta That’s a nice supporting cast for Josh on game day.

Why is it odd? He’s directly replying to people like you that keep trying to create a story about a declining relationship because of a sideline tiff in a major letdown game for the team. It was a sideline argument. That’s all - stop making more out of it.

It feels like every competitive team has guys like this - sign 1-year deals for half a few years and contribute steadily. Shaq and Jordan Phillips are finding their way into this category as well. Not the flashiest/best guy but fills a role. I know we gripe about running it back, I still want upgrades at OL and WR, but we're in fine shape.

I’ve had about 4 friends tell me the same thing and nobody has any other details despite being cops, neighbors, friends, etc. They all just throw around the same “facts” that have been floating around for months unsubstantiated. Do you mind if I ask how old your friend is? Because the rumor is the girl was a 19 y/o UB student…
