quite a bit different from "proclaiming" "the next great" one. Particularly when it's given in the context of giving a young kid a warm welcome into the program.
And besides, did I somewhere miss the performance that let us all know for sure than Mr. Critchlow (as our fresh RM) had no shot in different circumstances of indeed amounting to a very solid D1 QB?
As I recall, he had one very promising game as a starter. And another game where he was one of several QBs who failed to do much of anything — in a game where our OC was obviously lost on several levels.
Similar makes chickens outa eagles. Which is certainly what we got here — to the delight of the mob.
