Quote from: Jesse on Today at 12:26:19 AMIt's pretty rare to see any QB come up directly from college, much less one with his name recognition.
Quote from: Blue In BC on Today at 02:35:20 AMWhen we cut Bridges we need another CB so Parker was moved from safety.
Yes Vaval as the spare for in game but a veteran DB is not a bad idea. Using Vaval as a CB doing double duty is a double risk issue. That and he's only played briefly as a CB.
It's another risk analysis since a veteran won't want to sit on the PR and we probably don't have one as a DI.
As you mentioned, most DB's age out quickly often due to a series of injuries and rising SMS.
I think we'd all like to find a rookie sensation CB but we haven't really done that for a few years. Moxey is a great addition but didn't come cheap.
Quote from: Blue In BC on Today at 12:17:05 AMLofton was injured in TC wasn't he? So Randolph may or may not have won the spot outright.
Quote from: Tecno on Today at 02:27:53 AMHe was so-so for most of the season and then pretty useless in the one playoff game. I think guys who really blew the playoff got the burn-the-witches treatment.
Plus, I think Parker is ageing out (same for Houston). DB is a very short-lived and ruthless and underpaid position. Sucks to be a DB.
Plus Parker was slotted as a FS originally, then we soured on that idea.
Plus, we have Vaval as the spare, so quantity becomes less relevant than quality.
I do like that we gave Parker another chance after he healed up from bad injury. Can't say we didn't try.

Quote from: theaardvark on April 27, 2026, 07:43:10 PMI really don't want Vant or Rand as 3rd IMP oline. They've had far to long to grab that spot, and haven't.
Quote from: Blue In BC on April 27, 2026, 09:53:53 PMIf Parker left because of wanting more money, does this create an opportunity for him to return? If would we be interested? I'm not sure, we don't know the exact reason for allowing him to go to free agency.
Quote from: Throw Long Bannatyne on April 27, 2026, 11:52:27 PMWhy not? He's a rookie and probably has nothing better to do, the sooner he gets with the program the better.
Quote from: Throw Long Bannatyne on Today at 12:08:16 AMRandolph beat out Eric Lofton and Vanterpool for the RT job last season and started every game, but Broxton most likely owns that spot now.

This is going to be a pivotal camp for the Oline, I'd love to get a guest coach in here... and you know who...
