It should not be a shock that Tyler Boyd declared for the draft. He is that good, and barring injuries should have a successful NFL career.
Whether he goes in the first or second round is up for debate, but I don’t see how his draft stock will really rise any further if he came back. The only seeming knock on Boyd is that he lacks “elite” speed, so that won’t change. All the other stuff he possesses, he has shown in spades in the past three seasons.
— Hands. Yep.
— Great route running. Check.
— Very versatile — able to stretch the field or play in the slot. Hell, yeah.
— Constantly successful against opposing teams’ best corner and facing double teams. Very much so.
If Boyd had chosen to stay, he would be dealing with a third offensive coordinator in four years. No matter what promises Head Coach Pat Narduzzi could have made him, there just would have been no guarantees. It’s not like he could be showcased that much more.
To say nothing of the risk of injury — even with an insurance contract.
I wish him and his family nothing but the best, and only hope that he finds the time down the road to finish his education to get that degree from Pitt.
us win. Chad threw a perfect ball. A play before he kicked a player on the ground. So his head was not in the game. Yes other reasons we lost namely House and awful special teams and defense but if he catches that ball we win.
Hiring him has been like a gift.
Hope he stays in that culturally devoid abyss forever.
Come on man – throw the flag…
The only Pittsburgh players you like are those who don’t go to Pitt
Skills did NOT translate to the Game. Lost some Athletically relative to other Players. Did NOT look fast.
Doubling Down in saying Pitt got the BETTER RUNNINGBACK in George Hill.
Too many SKILLS to simply shove off to Defense.
Whew!
Of course there’s still this image that they are above reproach, even after running a pedophile ring for 30 years….
There’s still that cult worship appeal though I guess….
I can’t believe I heard the following from the announcers: “many are saying that next year will be coach franklin’s first year due to all the sanctions and scholarship limits”. They obviously haven’t been watching how many recruits the peds have signed the last few years. Who believes that crap? Bill Obrien did the heavy lifting. Franklin is a liar and as such, recruits well.
So do we root for Fraud, Hoopies or a tornado tonight. Ok, just kidding about rooting for the hoopies.
The Dairy College game will be won in the trenches. Georgia had some nice speed that matched the Dairy Farmers.
One thing though, the pedos DL looses Nassib & Zettle to graduation and most likely Johnson to the NFL draft.
Hackenberg 184-345 for 53%; 2386 yards, 16 TDs & 5 INTs and a 128.3 PE rating….79th nationally
Peterman 193-314 for 61%; 2287 yards, 20 TDs & 8 INTs and a 138.7 PE rating….44th nationally
Remember all that is with Peterman playing one less game than Hackenberg did.
This is why some PGH media types and a few TV announcers have been saying NP might get drafted. I haven’t said that, but some others are. After a decent SR year though he could get a shot at the NFL.
Hackensack is tired of being beat up at the place QB’s go to die….ped st.
Personally I think Foster is a late 2nd-3rd round pick at best. He was a good college player but I wonder how his skill set will translate to the NFL.
Reed – You mean Boyd is a 2nd or 3rd rounder?
I think hackenberger texted his decision to the media as soon as he went into the locker room with a bad shoulder.
Reed-I think the jury is still out on Foster. With a big year next year he would be in position to declare early. Unfortunately, I think he plays second fiddle to Ridley, believe it or not.
Plague feels better. Haha.
A few years back I though Baldwin was a 2-3 rounder also but his attitude sucked.
The thing about trying to predict drafts spots is that we fans really don’t know what the teams needs actually are.
Reed – I agree. Sticking to 4th round.
He went elsewhere…move on.
