Message: [QUOTE="pokercuse08, post: 5157537, member: 6535"] Yeah, listen, almost everyone is going to underestimate Syracuse because they don't think we're a "real major program" or whatever and they're going to write off McCord because Ohio State didn't want him and he "only" ended up at Syracuse, and who knows more about evaluating football players, Ohio State or Syracuse? And the conventional "wisdom" will rule the narrative and they'll mock the people who have paid attention and see what this kid is. That's not just ok, it's great. He sure seems to be embracing proving the doubters wrong, and a talented football team being handed the ongoing bulletin board material of not being given their due respect is a powerful thing and makes for a hell of a fun ride. McCord is going to be an NFL QB, maybe a first round pick if he keeps this up. We've got an NFL TE on the roster, we've got a couple young receivers who at least have a chance at playing on Sundays. If the OL holds up and Allen stays healthy, we can be really hard for just about anyone to beat. My brain says it will be the powerhouse teams with 8 deep NFL-potential DLs that can rotate bodies and wear us out that will be the matchup we may not be able to overcome... But that ain't happening in our regular season, and even if it does, McCord may be able to get the ball out fast enough anyway. The preseason ACCCG talk was NOT nonsensical craziness. This team can win the ACC. Beyond that, if I'm being honest with myself, we will need a lot of luck. But, if we stay healthy and this isn't a mirage, we have an actual chance to make the playoff and to do so with the best QB left... I don't think that's hyperbole. It's far from a given, but it's also not crazy talk. [/QUOTE]
