Kyle McCord to NFL Draft

[OttoinGrotto]

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.

Nah why would people assume Collins is a dual threat QB?

 

[OttoinGrotto]

Based on what I saw last night whoever was tooting Steve Angeli on this forum was not wrong. I would definitely go after him if he ever enters the portal.

 

[UpstateSM]

He's the best I've ever seen play quarterback for Syracuse and I doubt I'll ever get to watch anybody better. It really was a magical four months and that just doesn't happen without Kyle. He should never have to pay for anything in the 315 again.

My bus shall still be named the Kyle McFord next season.

Expected!

Will be incredibly tough to get to 6 next year.

It will be tough, but we never know what teams will be better or worse then expected. Still early. But yes on paper, tough tough tough schedule no matter how you view it. 8-4 would be a great great year if Fran can pull that off!

True. Remember everyone thought NC state was a wagon before the year.

Unbelievable year for McCord & Syracuse football… first “we’re back & we belong!” feel in many years. Thanks Kyle! It’s a significant loss (obviously), but I’m also intrigued & excited to see what Fran Brown does in response. He’s certainly proven he deserves trust & belief after season 1… go do it!

 

[JRHEETER]

I thought he was going to come back and I'll own that.

We may never know why so many people were saying it was approved; maybe it was but they weren't gonna make it official unless he was going to stay, due to the headaches it would cause with precedence. We just don't know what happened with the appeal until we hear something official.

Maybe we'll never know.

Not all that claim to be insiders are insiders

I think there were some on here that were claiming independently regardless of the appeal that McCord REALLY wanted to go pro and if he got the feedback that he was going to be drafted he would go.

He also committed to that senior bowl game which means you give up your eligibility.

Lequint didn’t accept his invite until after he declared.

The writing was really on the wall, I think we were all just hopeful he would change his mind.

It sucks for us as fans because watching McCord play was special.

But I truly think he’s making the best decision for himself and that’s what it honestly should come down to.

I wish him the best and I personally am beyond grateful that he will be an ambassador now for our program

Good for Kyle! Looking forward to hearing his name called this April (or May?). I think it was a smart move to go to the draft this year because it is thought of as a weak QB class and it is really murky in terms of QB draft order rankings after the first 2. He can really propel himself up to an earlier round because of all of the question marks at the QB position. I’m sure he will be able to impress one team to snag him earlier than many expect right now. I’ll be rooting for him on Sundays!

The ultimate human mystery of trying to figure out who the true prophet is and who are false prophets.
Ultimate truth vs false pleadings. Who's telling us the truth and who is misleading us? Are we questioning you personally or rather using critical thought and questioning and clarifying to determine if your word is credible and worthy. Anything unquestioned isn't worthy of settled fact

PS Bye Kyle, Love you, I'll think of you often

 

[PAcuse]

Thank you for an amazing season and representing Syracuse so well.
I hope you have a long career.

 

[MamesJungro]

yeah, the Giants were the first thing I thought of as well. With Watson out for the season now, there is a good chance that Cam/Sanders will be both be off the board at #3. So thinking the GMen should wait until the 2nd round (3rd pick, 35th overall), and there is a decent chance that one of these 3 will still be on the board (McCord, Dart, Milroe). Then they can sign a bridge guy like Fields or Darnold for a year while the rookie develops.

Look, I love Kyle and am deeply thankful for his time at Cuse, but fans will riot if the Gmen use a second-round pick on another sub-elite Syracuse QB prospect

Steve Angeli is my hope if he hits the portal

He’s going to start for ND next year.

I’m hoping Nixon is one of the reasons Kyle did so well. Lets hope he has that same magic with next years quarterback. The pressure in now fully on Fran. Did he win because of Kyle or does he have the start of a true program makeover? Let’s hope it wasn’t just because he had a very good quarterback.

 

[BomberOrange]

Congrats Kyle! This is awesome and I am glad that he made the right decision for himself. It must have been a tough one.

 

[shandeezy7]

"McCord plans to have a great pre-draft process."

Are there guys out there that hope to have a disappointing pre-draft process? A mediocre one?

 

[Cuse1992]

152 pages and then this! I'm happy for the kid.

 

[sutomcat]

I don’t think he liked going to college. Understand where he is at. Will always be grateful for what he brought to the program during the short time he was here.

Thanks Kyle and good luck in the NFL!

There is plenty of good ITK information posted here regularly by good ITK posters and to them, I give you my thanks.

People don't have to share the things they know, so I am always grateful to hear such information, since I have no ITK connections myself.

You do often do have to sort through the posts and posters and read between the lines sometimes, as some information can be lacking truth, but generally the good ITK guys are just that.

Hmmm. School hasn’t heard back. So were our “insiders” selling us fake hope? Or is SU not telling the truth

From his stock rising, to mostly every other QB stock falling around him with ironically maybe the exception of Will Howard (will see more tonight), Carson Beck opting out of the draft, and Allar not taking full advantage last night when the narrative was that if he could play well his stock could rise significantly. The headwinds were there to where things outside his control basically made this decision that opportunity he is looking for in the NFL can be reality. I didn’t watch Ohio State religiously last year, but enough that when he announced he was going into the transfer portal I thought it was crazy they would let him leave so easily after nearly leading the team to knocking off a generational Michigan team in the Big House, this was before I ever even imagined that he could be our QB. Relieved that the answer is known and as it pertains to the NFL, I have teams I’m a casual fan of, but if by chance a franchise declares McCord to be there starter, I may start becoming a fan and follow that team. As for us, this is a big moment. Wins next season appear to be tough, but we learned pretty quickly in 2019 that 2018 success was mostly due to Dungey magic more than anything else. What we all probably expect is we’re not going to have the passing game we had this year, but the question is that will we be improved in all the other aspects of the game that can will us to close games against the best competition and maybe even wins! Is our program and culture there yet, we’re going to find out!
