Just do away with the 3 point shot.

The NBA is already a slog. Why make it even worse?

Future_Tacos

9:45am

The NBA is a slog? Every game is like 115+ points

reagan21

9:47am

Then what would they do all game? That's the only shot players take now

WJCougar

9:46am

You get 2 points

reagan21

9:46am

I'd first try making the 3 pointer extend beyond the sideline so you don't have the corner 3.

OPINIONS

9:48am

It would be wild with all the out of bounds calls.

ochobeeguy

9:50am

I think they should make the court bigger and push the line back.

BlueKoolaid13

9:49am

Making the court bigger would only make the game less physical. Already too

spidercoug

9:51am

NBA is just 3 pointers. CBB is just scrappy guys trying to take charges.

ochobeeguy

9:51am

I do actually think they should move the line back

HRCougar

Aces. This guy is such a crazy follow.

Borg

9:42am

I actually agree with Rex Ryan. Sliding seems to expose yourself to harm way more than alternatives.

P-Boy Squad All-American

9:39am

I hate the slide rules. This game happens so fast. As a defender, you now have

mudpupper

9:42am

And then you have guys like Mahomes who either pretends to slide or run out of bounds and then keeps going

P-Boy Squad

9:43am

Yep, the offense has a serious advantage here and the defender has to play it

mudpupper

Basically what I said yesterday. Either slide way earlier, or know that you're

If you're going to slide it has to be earlier.

It's sad, really. An average QB will receive no competition for starter.

I think Jake will win the QB competition, but don’t you think that

Say what you will, at the end of the day he's 10-2 as a starter this season

NumbersGuy

Only issue I have is valuing 9-3 SEC teams too much.

They need to scrap polls and make it objective. They want to make it like pro sports with NIL, its time to use their

AltTabbins

9:38am

I would be fine with polls if they had no bearing on the post season.

PFF grades put Retzlaff as #3 in B12 behind Sanders & Leavitt. If he works like he did last off-season, he'll be better

Soupie Grandma Sycamore

9:22am

But CB says that Jake sucks and needs to be benched.

MoodyBlueCoug

9:23am

very few people are saying that, he does need to get better though

JOPE

9:26am

He needs to stop with the horrible turnovers. No more fumbled snaps inside

LakeshowCougs

9:38am

That's my hope for him too. He's shown he can make improvements.

Gunga Galunga

9:25am

That's fair. Release point, decisions under pressure & touch would be my hopes for him.

Soupie

9:26am

I would say he needs to mostly work on decision-making when pressured/blitzed

Then the coaches made a poor decision not to play Bohanon

Beggar

So why was he playing then? Is the QB depth that bad? The regression is definitely concerning

kimdaddy35

Will he be able to develop touch?

kimdaddy35

9:35am

He definitely needs to learn to not throw a fastball on every pass

Can we sticky this so half the board can shut up and move on

2FarGone

Yeah, people forget that MOST p4 QBs aren't good. Why? P4 defenses are tough.
