It still doesn’t make any sense purely from a football perspective. We’re talking about a guy who was already our best WR, and we just hired an offensively-minded head coach, to put it lightly. It’s not like Bond was struggling for playing time.
From his standpoint though, He's going to where he knows the QB can get him the ball, a lot. Honestly, there's still risk of that NOT happening here . While I think Simpson, Lonergan and Sayin all show signs in practice reps of having the ability to get the ball out fast, Simpson and Lonergan showed that last season also and we still ended up with what we had; a QB who can't get the ball out quickly, in practice or in games, at all...

I dont see that happening this season unless Jalen improves astronomically............everyone starts with a clean slate

I’m genuinely shocked he didn’t reconsider, knowing who we just hired. Loyalty and school pride mean nothing to these kids.
I think that`s pretty much totally gone......along with the " old" college game as we knew it. I`m already to the point that I don`t care nearly as much as I used to.

You just aren't going to be able to manage your roster the same way you did before. You can't keep guys who may try to divide the locker room. You have to get rid of them. You can't necessarily keep guys and clog up spring practice and take reps from players who can perform in the system.

This will be the most important spring practice in 17yrs. You must have the bought in guys out there. And now its easier to do that than it was in 2007.

Sometime telling someone to move on is as good for them as it is you.

But was it? Without a QB who is willing to throw to the TE, he’s wasted.
But I was constantly told that I was wrong in believing that a quarterback doesn’t affect the receiver room. The receiver position is full of the stereotypical prima Donnas in that they want the ball and the glory. If you don’t give that to them then you have rebellions. There are very few Devonta Smiths at the position.

I don't know how he does it but he needs to get the players in player-led pass skews pronto. These guys are just sitting around answering the phone and can't even window shop...

I would take all the film of UW photoshop it with crimson jerseys and have it playing everywhere...
