    Stroll out in Q1 in the third fastest car. What a clown.
  2. Burt Macklin
    Except the Ravens have no way of acquiring those better QBs so it’s not comparing Lamar to Burrow. It’s Lamar compared to a guy like Derek Carr or Will Levis. And they can move on from him after Year 3 so they’re only really committing to him for 3 years. If he’s declining, then they can move on then.

    Oh yeah, I forgot the other thing making this thread shitty. Derka taking every post, most of which aren’t even talking about him, as a personal attack and Derka’ing the ever loving shot out of this thread.

    I got lost in all the different scenarios being discussed. You’re saying Manning staying if Murphy is the starter for 2024 is impossible?
  5. Burt Macklin
    No, it really doesn’t. He was either a good choice as a basketball coach or not. Like I said, I understand the pressure that was on them and going with someone other than RT would’ve been very difficult for the decision maker, but the optics and outside pressure surrounding the decision don’t change it from a bad hire to a good hire.
  6. Burt Macklin
    This is a pretty fucking stupid response. I understand the pressure that was on the admin to hire him and expected that to happen unless we could land a Jay Wright or Billy Donovan type, but that doesn’t mean it was a good coaching hire decision.
  7. Burt Macklin
    Yeah, this group 1, group 2 thing is fucking stupid. This thread has been a beating to read because people got so entrenched in their positions in the should we hire RT thread that they can’t even interpret individual events reasonably. Hopefully this will stop so this thread can become readable again, but continuing to lump everyone into two separate factions won’t allow that to happen. I don’t think RT was a good hire, but he’s our coach now so I’m going to root for him (and thereby the team) to succeed until I know he’s not the guy, a la Shaka year 3. The silver lining to this situation is that we actually have an AD now, and he won’t let RT stay for 7 got dam years if it’s not working.

    Lulz. You’ve had a hate boner for Lamar all offseason, writing unprompted critical posts about him all offseason, saying he and his mom screwed up the situation horribly and then he signs one of the biggest deals in history with no agent and rather than admitting you had no clue what you’re talking about you’ve now shifted to what a mistake it was by the Ravens. Signing Lamar may not get them to a title, but it’s a much better option than losing him this year or next and wandering without a QB while they have a playoff roster everywhere else. The Ravens can also get out of this deal in 3 years without too much trouble. The odds they find a QB better than Lamar in the next 3 years if they let him go are extremely low.

    You keep saying this, but he wasn’t running with the ones and spring and it sounds like the staff would rather try to find a way to get Williams on the field at G over Neto. I hope he develops and it would be great if won the starting job, but there’s been nothing to show so far to support him winning it by fall camp. I also think guard’s his worst position. He’s a better athlete than mauler/anchor, so T or C would be better fits for him. You’re stupid and wrong. STFU.
  10. Burt Macklin
    I can’t think of many names that fit in better at Oklahoma than Konnor. He must’ve been named by an illiterate meth head.
  11. Burt Macklin
    Fuck yes! This is a huge get! He’ll be our third guard this year and could stay at UT for 2-3 years.
  12. Burt Macklin
    Doubt this is how it goes. If Murphy isn’t named the starter by the end of spring 2024 he’s probably transferring. The writing would be on the wall at that point.
  13. Burt Macklin
    Whoa. Looks like Kansas is dropping major bags this cycle.
  14. Burt Macklin
    JFC man. This is how it reads after you edited the post?
  15. Burt Macklin
    Now we’re fucked. Ian Boyd publishing that article guarantees OU’s defense will be good next year.
  16. Burt Macklin
    Congratulations, sir! You have just hit one of our recruiting bingo squares: “Olds on Surly try to interpret social media activity when they have no fucking clue what they’re talking about.”

    No. You're confusing the minimum roster salary with guaranteed money. If it's actually guaranteed money, then there's no requirements, you are guaranteed to get it once the contract's signed, and teams can guarantee more than just the signing bonus. There's other things like roster bonuses if you're on the 53 at a certain time, but those aren't counted as guaranteed money. Teams can guarantee more money to UDFAs than what the 7th round contract slot will guarantee.
  18. Burt Macklin
    It’s irrelevant whether the guarantee comes from salary or signing bonus. Guaranteed money is guaranteed money. 7th round players don’t get any guaranteed money past their signing bonus, so teams can still give UDFAs better contracts than a 7th round pick.
  19. Burt Macklin
    People? No. KKL? Yes.

    That's just not what happened at all. From laps 13 to 30 Leclerc lost 16.5 seconds to Perez and 15.5 seconds to Verstappen. From 30 to 50, he only lost 2-3 seconds, even though RB has way better tyre life and Leclerc was falling back to Alonso by the end of the race due to deg. From 36 - 50, Leclerc was always between 19.5 and 20.5 seconds back from Perez. They were absolutely managing the gap right at about 20 seconds for basically half the laps after the Safety Car restart.
  22. Burt Macklin
    I think I heard Max was asking to come in because he had worse tyre deg than Checo and didn’t want to give him DRS and then be susceptible to the overcut, but yeah they should’ve waited a lap. I think it all happened in like less than 20 seconds though, so hard to think it through and react.
  23. Burt Macklin
    Is he saying Morris wanted to pick DePaul over KU?
  24. Burt Macklin
    It’s not as binary as you’re making it out to be. The hit rate on high school one and dones is much lower than proven transfers and a lot of the one and dones are super expensive to secure. So it’s generally a more efficient use of money to go after transfers and you also have a better shot of keeping them for multiple years. The majority of HS 5 stars declare for the draft or transfer after Year 1. Im not saying we should completely forego one and dones, but we should definitely focus way more of our resources on transfers and program guys out of HS.

    The most important number is the guaranteed amount. Bijan will get the full amount of his contract, but all the other guys will need to make the roster this year and stay on, otherwise they’ll only get the signing bonus plus a little extra. DMO and RoJo are safe to make the roster in Year 1, at least, but Coburn and Ojomo could only get their signing bonus and then be fighting to make a practice squad for $277k per year.
