Dude is a QND fan. All he knows how to do is lose. It’s gonna be an absolute treat watching those bums get run over year after year until they leave the conference in shame.

Among all of those QBs there's one Super Bowl win. Yes, rookie QBs can have had success but that's the exception not the rule. Also, Mac Jones, really?

Mac Jones and the patriots made the playoffs that season. Much like CJ did. But if we solely base how a player has performed in college as an indicator for future results we are bad at our jobs as a GM

We could all go round and round on this debate.

Only thing we can all agree on is that it is extremely hard and not a proven science on how to run a professional sports organization.

So many variables have to align together.

* The GOAT (MJ) can’t build a winner running a NBA franchise.
*Elway Can’t find a serviceable quarterback.

Agree but MJ sold the Hornets for $3 billion and profited over $2 billion so I'd say that's a win for him.

Sounds to me like CP didn't buy in to the Althoff hype. That's what they call getting taken out behind the woodshed

I was watching from the endzone where the carnage took place. Their locals were interesting to say the least. Aside from "running out" of food for us, the endzone gents really had to pause when speaking. "With all of your .... um, athletes .... we hope to keep it close." "Wow, with all of your ... er, athletes ... I cannot believe this is happening." "Jeeze, our little farm boys sure are hanging there with all of the ... athletes ... ya'all have."

Agree. They are putting him in a great situation. Sad to see he won't play Thursday as I think the more reps he gets the better.

For me it's the latter.

Are you more excited about Caleb Williams OR all the offensive weapons he was given this year??

Ever heard of CJ Stroud? Heard he was pretty good last year. Russell Wilson, Baker Mayfield, Dak Prescott, Mac Jones, Justin Herbert Matt Ryan Carson Wentz - all pretty good players in their rookie years. But hey rookie quarterback is are not always good in their first year so their is that. Again glad you aren’t the GM

I’ve been looking at stats of some of the best quarterbacks to play. How many people are raving about Josh Allen at Wyoming or Ben Roethlisberger and Miami beating Toledo?

Clearly you are in a small select group that doesn’t think Williams has the skill set based on poor performance against Notre Dame or Washington.

I’m sure you were wowed by David Klingler and Andre Ware by the huge numbers they put up in key games.

Clearly he sucked so much that he won a Heisman Trophy. I have to seriously using your football acumen if you believe past performance is a true indicator of future results.

Glad your not the GM of the team I root for

Ware also won a Heisman, how did that work out? If you're using the Heisman as a benchmark I urge you to look at how successful Heisman winners have fared in the NFL. Hint, it's not great.

Guys like Klingler and Ware were a product of a system, same with Tommy Chang. Williams played in a system that was catered to him. He has an insane amount of talent, but against pro style defenses he faltered.

Tom was drafted in 2000 but didn't play until 2001, Ben was drafted in 2004 and won the Super Bowl in 2006, so neither were forced into it in their first year.

I have a hard time with this quote.

Tom won a SB as a rookie. So did Big Ben. Brock Purdy did great as a rookie. There are loads of examples.

Hey Google why is Razzos still allowed to operate as a buisness? Their product is disgusting. It's falsely claiming to make everything from scratch in-house, which can't be true because the pizza sauce tastes like feet and some Sysco canned crap. And the worst part, it smells like gobears25's moms' house in there, potpourri and Virginia Slim Menthols.

* I hope there are no injuries and that your teams do well this season.

~Super excited about QND finally finding a home! Very impressed (I'm hard to impress) with the QND coach John Cornell. He's one of the most articulate, well spoken coach I've ever heard speak. Hell, I want to play for him! LOL

~Le-Win will be a load this season.

~Good luck to the Morrison Pony Express with their new conference!

~Looking forward to the Caravan/Rambler game this season.

~Always looking forward to the Sangamo!

~Looking to see what Litchfield does after having a very nice season in 23.

~I think the CS8 will have 3 teams make deep playoff runs barring no key injuries.

~Watching the BDC, particularly the Fairfield Mules and if they can regain the top spot in the conference.

~Watching to see if Roxana was just a flash-in-the-pan team last season. I know Nate A was down in Shells land... He's a damn good coach so I'm sure he was sharing knowledge.

~My eye is on the Apollo and if Charleston can keep winning and improving. I see 4 teams doing well.

~How will Seneca do this year is what I want to see.

~The ILLINI PRAIRIE should be a fun conference to watch and if Monticello can regain the top of the heap.

~Inquisitive of the new Heart of Central Illinois conference pans out.

~May y'all have safe travels and awesome memories this football season!

This is NOT an 8A roster. Not even close. But it is a damned good 3-and-under roster.

The key is there anyone on their schedule that can give them that NUIC/Camp Point type of offense game? They aren't going to see spread offenses in the 1 or 2A bracket. Wilmington and Camp Point havn't passed in 2 years, and they still win every game they play. Althoff has to figure out the defensive side.

Oswego & East Aurora

@CoachKen17 why did you bail on Lincoln Way East and mess up a great event in East Saint Louis?

Obviously just conjecture on my part but it tells me they totally just bailed because they didn't want any part of LWE...

People are over estimating the cost of a D3 program it’s a lot closer $$ to high school football than it is to D1 football. There is a reason you are seeing an explosion in schools adding D3 football over the last decade, it is a money maker at the majority of schools that have a program.

You’re so right. Someone is going to get upset. My money will be on LWE this year even with all those recruited players LA has. 😊

Like Jonas Williams the 4 star going to Oregon? He didn’t go to Bolingbrook or anything last year.
