Podcast GSS: Jay Walker (10-18-22)

[Bandwagon King]

Blah! Blah! Freaking Blah! You can keep the first paragraph because that means nothing to me, or anyone else who has followed the game for 50 plus years. The NFL Hall Of Fame is littered from top to freaking bottom with guys who were not highly recruited and In many cases not recruited at all. Any moron can look at Leonard Fournette & see that he was a can't miss. It takes a real talent evaluator to look at a Jerry Rice, or Walter Payton & say that guy is going to be special. So your first chapter is pig ____.

Your second chapter is Irrelevant because the only thing Napier did was recruit the guy along with Mike. And NONE of us have any idea what the situation was at Freso State so you can place that rant in file 13. And you can throw the last part of your rant in the trash can because if there is one thing you & Jay have in common, you're both major suck ups & hate it when you feel your "monopoly as an authoritian of knowledge" is being invaded.

We do know the situation at Fresno State, because anyone with a keyboard and a brain can look it up. He was in a battle for the starting job with Jake Haener and he lost out to him as Jeff Tetford said that JH gave them a better chance to win. We do know what happened here as you said that Billy Napier just recruited him, that is false as well, CF beat BW out as the backup QB at UL. If LEVI, not Levy, was asked to leave the game (injury, helmet coming off, etc) CF was the backup, not BW. And coach Napier did not ask him to hand the ball off, he asked him to throw the ball.

I am a suckup to no one. I speak my mind always, sometimes to a fault. That being said, like I said before we can agree to disagree on a lot of things. I don't dislike you, you are who you are. I just think some/most of your takes are off base, but I appreciate your passion.

As far as the recruiting services go, I agree with you. They are not right all the time, I was just pointing out that his 3 college coaches and most recruiting services have not seen this the way you have and I trust these people more than some guy behind a keyboard.

None of this would be happening had we just slept in the dorms during fall camp!

None of this would be happening had we just slept in the dorms during fall camp!

That is another good one, but that is all it is . . .

Ha Ha, that is funny, good take.

So . . . it's not about feelings . . .

Help me out. What is Fresno State's record in a conference with 3 of the bottom ten teams in the country? And once again, when a fresh transfer comes to town who doesn't know anything about your culture, much less your system & you have Levy Lewis at QB. Does it matter who is 2nd string & who is 5th string? And once again you are implying that I hate Chandler & I don't. Chandler is the exactly the kind of guy I would want as my 2nd string QB. He prepares himself to be ready at a moment's notice to go into the game & be ready to run the offense. He's a good game manager. he won't do anything stupid to lose you a game. And he has a decent arm. That is a lot to like about a guy.

The downside is he's not going to take any risks. And the reason is he fears costing his team because he understands the limit of his own ability. I wouldn't doubt that a guy like Chandler ends up in coaching & becomes a very successful coach one day at any level. But make no mistake about it. he doesn't bring the same level of talent to the table that Ben brings. And having taken part in the recruiting game. I can tell you "recruiting services" are full of ____. Absolutely & completely dung holes. They miss on guys as much, or more than they hit on them. And considering how many studs come out of high school each year. That takes some real stupidity.

Actually you are mistaken that is exactly the opposite of what both Napier and CMD have said about the comparison between BW and CF. The reason CF was chosen for the most part was that he had more of a chance to make things happen because he is much more of a risk taker than BW. In fact that was a direct quote in the offseason from CMD. He said that CF can get himself in trouble because he takes too many chances, while BW is more of a guy that you know what you are going to get. Please go back and listen to some of the press conferences, I hate when facts get in your way.

Now that might not be translating to the games that CF has played because maybe he has been looking over his shoulder too much and concerned about getting yanked for BW. But that has been the main take on CF, is that he is a gunslinger and will make mistakes but will also make plays because he takes chances. CMD said that is what gave CF the edge. Again, he has not shown it this year, but that has been stated over and over.
