It's not a matter of who was at fault for his lack of playing time in HS. The fact is he didn't get much playing time. As for his numbers like I said they got better each season and in his last season he was going against a much higher grade of opposition.DfromCT wrote: ↑Mon Jul 22, 2019 12:59 pmWho's fault is it that he didn't play a lot of HS ball? Yes, he had an option QB that was way more athletic than he that started half the games his first two years of HS, but why didn't he start playing sooner? And we all know the only reason he was so highly regarded is because he lived down the street from Sean Peyton who told CJ that the kid has a live arm. NONE of us debate the fact that he can throw the football. It's who he throws it to ON GAME DAY that splits us up. His stats SUCK. Ryan Griffin had a much better career on teams that were worse. He could manage the offense and call out the blocking schemes behind a line no better than anything Tanner played behind. Tanner is clueless when it comes to identifying the opposition's attack. CLUELESS. And Ryan has earned a hell of a lot more money in the NFL than Tanner will ever see. I hope Tanner has a great career, but it's not going to be in the NFL. His days are numbered whether it's this year or next, he's out of the league by 2021, and more than likely by the start of 2020.winwave wrote: ↑Mon Jul 22, 2019 12:45 pm First, remember that he didn't play a lot of HS ball. Then if one takes the time to look at his collegiate career, versus just shooting from the lip like those talking heads, you see his numbers improve each season. In his last season he improved his numbers while going against better competition. NO ONE knows if he will EVER take a meaningful snap in the NFL but I'm glad he's getting the opportunity. He deserves it.
He has an NFL CALIBER arm. I will admit that.
I've got $100 that says he never takes an NFL regular season snap. By meaningful snap I mean in a regular season game with his team not up or down two TD's. Put up or shut up. The money goes to TAF whomever wins.
As for the bet I'll gladly give another $100 to GWC if he doesn't take such a snap.
