His off-the-field actions were more than just the locker room. I still believe he is a talented player. However, there is some baggage that I would not want if I was the coach.

Two weeks ago, I wanted him to stay. Now, I think it is better for Utah and Isaac if he moves on.

I wish him the best.

IW was part of the problem. Not part of the solution. When I heard that the Ute’s hired a TDS guy to run the offense, I was less than thrilled but the guy has a clean slate to work with and why bring back someone who helped poison the well in the first place. I’m more willing to give Beck a chance to right “our” ship than Wilson being the deliverer.

He is what 18years old? It sounds like he acted immaturely which is fairly common for a young man. If he can learn from this and come back with a good attitude- that would be a win.

The team needs both quality and quantity in the QB room. The arm talent/running ability that made him an elite prospect are still there and the experience he gained…[Read more]

I don’t see the upside to him unless he can pack on 15 to 20 lbs of muscle and run the ball more. I think he’s too little and timid, otherwise.

I’d welcome him back so long as there are no expectations that he’s the starter or even back up. He’d have to earn it himself.

Summary:
He was really good in practice but not so much on game day
Teammates saw this right away and thought that Rose should be the back up
Ludwig stuck with him despite other players coming to Lud with concerns
IW then proved them right on the field and apparently in the “locker room” as well
After he was pulled in the Houston game, he…[Read more]

Like what?

As long as we don’t have to pay the max to get his replacement. If so, we should have paid him. So hard though because our other CB’s would then be mad. Tough environment

I use it for my broken back and it works excellent

Has nothing to do with morals, beliefs, etc..

It’s 100% about big pharma. Do the research. Pharma couldn’t make money off of it and planted these ideas (morals) into our minds. It’s similar to the concept that fat is bad for you. We all still believe that even though research suggest otherwise.

Also, nobody is going to prison for smoking or possessing weed. It just is not happening.

Might not be getting imprisoned, but there are certainly lots and lots getting arrested. (around 170,000 in 2021 alone).

It is not just a old white religious guy thing. There are credible arguments to restrict it that have nothing to do with one’s skin pigmentation, age, or religion.

Anecdotally, I have seen it mess up multiple people. But I have seen it do nothing negative to others. My point is there are definitely potential negative consequences to it. And not…[Read more]

I’m directionally in the same camp, but probably a little more pessimistic generally.

I initially would’ve said B+ for Beck (given he was the third choice), but maybe it is an A- now that A) we got Dampier and B) it looks like Whitt isn’t going to micromanage as much as feared.

I’m meh on Detmer (so a C), mainly b/c I don’t know much about him…[Read more]

I wonder why they haven’t fixed this. It feels like it’s been bad for years now. On top of what you mentioned…

FG kicking has been spotty (unreliable) and it’s a miracle if we gain positive yards on a punt return. It’s been a dumpster fire. I think the only positive thing is that our punting has been good…but haven’t we had one or two…[Read more]

we. need. a. new. special. teams. coordinator.

Honestly, I’m ambivalent about Shah as a DB/CB coach (and could care less about the real housewives drama). But Special Teams used to be a strong point for Utah, and now we can’t even get a kicker who can give us consistent touchbacks or design coverage schemes to prevent multiple runbacks for TDs.

I can only hope that fans will pressure the NCAA (or possibly legislative intervention) to create some sort of correction in the next couple of years. I can definitely envision a salary cap for the school contributions, and perhaps some sort of combined cap for all $$ associated with a team and/or a requirement that there be a demonstrable quid…[Read more]
