Kyle McCord to NFL Draft

[McNabb2Brominski]

Probably the right move for him.

Next year is going to be rough breaking in a new QB with that schedule. 6 wins would be a success.

 

[Toga]

When he gets that 2nd Round money, I'll be expecting a substantial NIL contribution.

 

[UpstateSM]

I'm sad

[FasterCuse]

I’ll go with Pete Thamel saying he didn’t hear over Internet posters

Pete is fed from his insiders what they want him to release. He releases that exact information to keep the pipeline flowing.

 

[RedtheGOB]

Tough news for us but not for him. He must’ve heard enough that he wanted from the NFL.

“The people in that McCord thread on Syracusefan.com are giving me stalker in the movie The Bodyguard vibes. I’m outta here.” -Kyle

 

[RF2044]

Zero hard feelings about this.

Thank you, Kyle McCord, for producing such a great year and making SU football fun again. I don't know that we'll ever have another QB with the passing skills / arm talent / accuracy you had. Like, ever again.

What a unicorn.

Everyone Collins isn't a dual threat QB he profiles as a pocket passer just as an FYI for everyone saying they are excited to move to a dual threat.

 

[Giants1973]

That's to bad. Had a Awesome yr.

 

[Orangefan1]

Good for him he will be one of my favorites of all time even with just one year I hope Brown can find someone

 

[CbusCuse]

Doh! What i was expecting but not what I was hoping for for SU. Completely understand this though. It had to be a close decision either way but ultimately I think it was probably in his best interest to go now as well.

Good luck Kyle! Thanks for an amazing season! You will always be an Orange favorite. Go kill it in the NFL and make us proud!

A day of mourning for us all.

Don't count out Carney as a true frosh. He's enrolling early. Staff is VERY high on him.

 

[oldpinepoint]

Smart move! Best of luck to him!

 

[storange]

It’s just selfish, he’s doing what’s best for him instead of what’s best for me.

What position do you play

 

[JRHEETER]

Don't count out Carney as a true frosh. He's enrolling early. Staff is VERY high on him.

Perhaps our actual Lanorris Sellers

Don't count out Carney as a true frosh. He's enrolling early. Staff is VERY high on him.

Also profiles as a pocket passer I don't think we will be moving to a dual threat.

I'm sad

yep sad not mad. Makes complete sense for the kid.

For us, yeah, sad. Keeping him would've brought in more top flight kids we may not have otherwise got, and kept the (likely) illusion we could compete at the highest level. I say "likely" because if and unless they make huge wholesale changes to the current system as is and reign in the wild wild west of what it is now, I fear 10-3 is the ceiling for Syracuse due to lack of competitive resources ($$$$!). And if that's true, this great coach once his young enthusiasm wears off to reality, he'll bolt to somewhere he can achieve that NC hope and goal.

That's my depressed glass half empty take now that Kyle is gone, the euphoria of the bowl and seasons done, tune in next week when I put back on my orange blinders to get back to my glass half full to continue to try and delude myself that the skys the limit!

dude don't gloat, part of your take was that he would'nt even have the chance to come back. He did. He could've.

 

[Cuse12]

it’s the right decision for him. His stock is at his personal highest since being in CFB obviously, and even if next year he came back there is no guarantee his stock would raise. He will get drafted. Dream come true and now another cuse player in the league.

 

[Toga]

What position do you play

Sidelines chain guy and a damn good one.

 

[RF2044]

Next man up:

• Williams?
• Carney?
• Collins?
• Portal QB?

Glad Carney / Collins will be here to participate in spring ball. Going to be an interesting off-season in the QB room.

We could have been better than 10-3 this year. The ceiling doesn't exist in the new landscape. Just have to get a bit lucky in the portal and with your HS recruits.
