  - Watch almost any pass play. Plenty of time one, two, three missed WRs. Many wide open TDs. [NT] - oldirish - 9:23pm 9/23/24
    - I'm not saying he's a fantastic passer. - wrdomerson - 9:48pm 9/23/24
      - It's relative. Angeli > Leonard relative to QBs we have. I love you're seeking for ways to paint - oldirish - 9:54pm 9/23/24
        What's your basis for Angeli > Leonard ? - Chrisb - 11:22pm 9/23/24

        Don't forget... W/o Rees, Golson would've had 3 losses in 2012 - Final drive come from behind @ PUR - oldirish - 1:13pm 9/25/24
        That was a great final drive by Rees. He used that player that was Manti's buddy from Hawaii. Rees - THEISMANCARR - 6:12pm 9/25/24

        We are in agreement on many, many points and close/symantically different on a few others. [NT] - oldirish - 1:15pm 9/24/24
        I think this post is a perfect snapshot to encapsulate our entire coexistence together.. - Chrisb - 7:22pm 9/24/24
        Yes. That small amount of difference is how iron sharpens iron, IMO. That's how we learn and grow by - oldirish - 9:55pm 9/25/24

        You do not consider the Sun Bowl a meaningful game ? Great performance [NT] - ColeyO - 1:07pm 9/24/24
        No, what were they playing for? Angeli looked good in that game for sure.. - Chrisb - 1:59pm 9/24/24

        The rub is RL isn't doing it in the game, Angeli is/has. So, is practice really that relevant from - oldirish - 7:01pm 9/24/24

        Excellent post. 100% follow your logic and agree. - WoodstockIrish - 8:41am 9/24/24
        Thanks and agree. I do think Freeman is embarassed for whatever reason. If not, then he's not suited - oldirish - 1:20pm 9/24/24

        I hate to admit it, but Saban is good. I 10000% agree with that take on the portal. He's right. [NT] - oldirish - 2:57pm 9/25/24
        
        You say you want to have a conversation of substance but you didn't respond to anything I said. - wrdomerson - 10:08pm 9/23/24
        1. I don't see the relevance of the botched FG. Optically, yes it looked bad and compounded ugly QB - oldirish - 10:21pm 9/23/24
        The FG has nothing to do with Leonard- - wrdomerson - 11:06pm 9/23/24
