I hope USC or whoever pays handsomely for his services.
He needs to get his shit together and decide if he’s serious about playing WR in the NFL. I don’t think he’s gonna like the outcome if he doesn’t make some drastic changes in the way he plays. I know. Ice cold take.
Great point about Whittington’s contributions as a blocker. He definitely got other players yards and TD they wouldn’t have gotten if he were a selfish teammate. His contribution to the team is far greater than the numbers he puts up. The opposite of Worthy.
My hope that Worthy stays is primarily FOMO; that he’ll go somewhere else and out up big numbers but I don’t think that happens because I don’t think he’s the type who will suddenly care about route precision, or sell out to catch a ball that’s not perfectly thrown. And he’s never shown the ability to make tough catches and he drops a lot of easy balls.
I have no idea who Brennan Thompson is as a player, have no idea what Neyor will be like coming off an injury, Cane is who he is, and you dont want have to rely of true freshman. Hope was can find a killer via the portal.
I don’t get the criticism of Whitt. I agree he’s not lived up to 5 star and he doesn’t play as fast as you’d think but he gets open, has very good hands and moves the sticks. He doesn’t pull away from defenders but he fights for yards. He plays in a part of the fields where there’s a lot of traffic. He’s less likely to have huge gains.
He’s reliable, physical, high effort guy.
He’s a way better number 2 receiver than Worthy is a number 1 receiver or Cain is a number 3 (or whoever we consider the no 3).
Don’t buy the broken hand thing. I could be wrong but seems like a convenient excuse for dropping a lot of balls. Problem is he’s always dropped a lot of catchable balls.
Amazing comeback story. Despite winning the Doak, I’d contend that he was under appreciated nationally during his final season at Texas. It was the 3-5 yard runs that made him great. On a team with little offensive talent and a poor OL he rarely got caught in the back field or for negligible yards. Always found a way to get yards where none existed.
Man that wrote up by Tarp is brutal if you are an aggy.
The two things that gave them hope after a 5 win season were:
1. Expectation for a “big dog” OC hire that would take control of the offense and
2. Restocking talent quickly through the portal.
Now they ain’t got shit to hope for. Just blind faith that minus some of their young talent that left, they are essentially going to do the same thing next year and somehow it’ll work better.
I look forward to the civil war between the realists and the sunshine pumpers when the new, underwhelming OC is announced.
