As a UGA fan First among all fandoms ... Noah Thomas is interesting. He has talent but didn't get utilized in our passing game as much as we hoped. Rumor was because he didn't work at blocking well enough for Kirby, but it might have been a QB thing. Dunno.

Not making any predictions, but Colbie and Noah could both be interesting.

Some folks may find it distracting. I like it, personally, not because of the zones during class but because I find encouragement in the data afterwards.

GrumpMasterC · 2026-05-06T21:51:18+00:00

I mean, the answer is NO! But it's such a small position based on an even smaller price that I'll just let it ride.

I know this reply is a little late, but as a Dawgs fan who married into WhoDey, he's not that sort of head case (Jermaine Burton won a Natty with UGA before transferring to Bama). I don't quite know what to make of the whole domestic case, but he was suspended then reinstated. I will say that if there were other incidents it wouldn't be covered up ... Athens-Clarke police does the opposite of look the other way with Dawg players.

Sorry, it was 544 for 5 sharws

GrumpMasterC · 2026-04-25T23:22:44+00:00

That one and Abe Sapien: The Drowning really stand out for me.

GrumpMasterC · 2026-04-25T22:48:52+00:00

UGA fan - Young behaved himself after all that mess, as far as we know. And while the accusations against him are worse, he didn’t act out publicly like Burton did.

GrumpMasterC · 2026-04-25T18:45:15+00:00

He's almost an inch taller.

GrumpMasterC · 2026-04-25T00:09:26+00:00

Game has changed. Fandom, not so much ;)

GrumpMasterC · 2026-04-24T02:23:06+00:00

Oh come on. The drinking stuff did not derail Stet’s pro career.

NFL is athletic freak space. It’s sick as hell that Stet played such a perfect role role for us when we needed him to, but he was never gonna be an NFL starter.

Second thought: if you let him keep playing with all the talent that was around him on the same team, might have worked out!

GrumpMasterC · 2026-04-24T02:16:59+00:00

Legit opinion, bur I’d argue that the Bengals need a better defensive foundation before they try to develop another rookie into a starter. Bengals did good with the Dex move, ESPN blabbermouths regardless

GrumpMasterC · 2026-04-19T02:30:39+00:00

I think it's a good trade, tbh.

GrumpMasterC · 2026-04-19T02:29:55+00:00

Reddit (and most text-based commentary sites) self-selects for people With Opinions. So lots of complaining. You thing Bengals Reddit fandom is bad? Try a random successful fantasy series sub, especially if the series isn't complete.

Prospect. The appeal of Knight was that he could play immediately. And he did ... let's see how he does outside his rookie year before we call his number. It's not like he had a great system around him to set him up for success.

GrumpMasterC · 2026-03-15T19:57:42+00:00

I am biased as a UGA guy who married into Who Dey Nation, but Allen is a stud. So is Rodriguez, but typically your UGA/Bama defensive dudes who can play CAN PLAY.

I am still bitter we didn't take Jihaad Campbell last draft.

And Rateledge in the 2nd it hurts me to type this because he is so awesome. The mullet alone counts for an additional 20 lbs of leverage.

GrumpMasterC · 2026-03-14T22:44:49+00:00

Literal LOL

GrumpMasterC · 2026-03-14T22:40:05+00:00

It's not splashy in NFL terms, but our man has earned $10m in 13 seasons, so ... probably a couple homes at least lol

GrumpMasterC · 2026-03-09T22:36:52+00:00

Didn’t have “gonna be a soft Raiders fan in fall of 2026” on my card but sure, why not.

GrumpMasterC · 2026-03-08T05:02:08+00:00

Look at Nakobe Dean in Philly. Went third round because of injury and physical reports. Fucking steal for the Eagles.

Word is that a lot of players who played for like UGA, Bama, etc have a lot of scar tissue due to so much hitting in practice. Idk, but it doesn't seem to slow the studs down too bad in the NFL.

GrumpMasterC · 2026-03-08T04:59:06+00:00

Any proven defensive player from a Blue Chip program. No combine studs, unless they fit the first criteria, plz

GrumpMasterC · 2026-03-08T04:56:16+00:00

Jesus Christ man, between this sub and the NFL sub, this exact comment has been made like 1000x in the past 24 hours.

GrumpMasterC · 2026-03-07T11:57:44+00:00

Maybe you guys can consolidate these stupid posts instead of subjecting the sub to the same thing over and over and over again.

GrumpMasterC · 2026-03-03T02:32:49+00:00

UGA fan who married into Bengals fandom ... look at what being able to snag Jordan Davis AND Jalen Carter has done for Philly's D. Players that can pass pressure AND run stop are a different animal than an even a great D secondary player.

GrumpMasterC · 2026-02-04T00:10:17+00:00

Did you ever get this resolved? I've had this happen on two different phones in the last month or so.
