Kyle McCord to NFL Draft

[CuseBlood44]

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!

Best of Luck to Kyle. You will forever be a part of Orange Nation.

 

[SmilinBob]

Thanks Kyle for the fun year, see ya on Red Zone next year...many many times!

 

[DoctorBombay]

To paraphrase a Syracuse football legend:

"Everything comes full circle".

Good luck and Godspeed, Kyle!

 

[sufan59]

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!

I can imagine his mindset of going to classes and doing homework for classes instead of developing and watching film was probably many of us equivalents of being stuck in too many meetings at work instead of having time to do the work.

The best part of this whole thing is no mention of OsU. This is all cuse and he will rep cuse everywhere from here on it. Congrats Kyle. Every kids dream to play in the league and he will do that soon. Excited to see what JW and RC do but I’m beyond high on JW

 

[swish7]

Good luck McCord

Best of luck to Kyle... I'm sure he's going to make a great mayor for the city of Syracuse some day!

 

[Crusty]

Thanks for the memories and excitement. You will always be Orange royalty.
Best of luck in all you do.

Am I doing this right?

Seriously though, congrats to you Kyle! Thanks for everything you did for SU. Go kill it in The League!

Forever Orange!!

 

[storange]

Yes, if the pros are telling him he will be drafted in the first two rounds, probably even the third round. If the pros are telling him the fourth round or beyond, he should come back and climb the draft ladder.

Obviously, he should go to the Giants, said one "unbiased Orange fan".

Giants would be the spot, couldn't possibly be worse than what we got . (Rock Bottom)

 

[OttoinGrotto]

Aller was coming back anyway, but his stock was going to drop like Shane "Football Steps" Falco after that one Sugar Bowl that everyone saw because nobody had anything else better to do that day.

 

[dasher]

Even if we already know that reality deep down, maybe it’s better to save this sentiment for… idk… a few days after we’ve had a chance to digest this kick to the groin.

For the record I am just as concerned.

Waiting a few days doesn't change a thing.

 

[OttoinGrotto]

McCord is up there with Melo as greatest one and dones at Cuse. Wish him all the success in the world. Would love for him to be a plus starting QB in the NFL.

What is the car crash all about?

What is the car crash all about?

It's a crashed Dodge Dart.

Carney is a non factor

He enrolled early and committed knowing he was going to redshirt his first year.

Not sure about non factor at this point. Not sure if anything would be off the table. He may have said he plans on Red shirting and that is the most likely outcome, but it is also a way of showing respect to players already on the team. Devito seemed to tick off Dungey abit saying he wanted to start as a true Freshman. There is confidence and there is cocky.

 

[qdawgg]

Don't even want to be an "insider". I like passing on what I hear for the discussion. We're all SU fans here. But when it's something people don't like it gets questioned and that's when it gets annoying.

Story of my life during the Dino years. But some people loved their "diamond in the rough" recruits whose next best offer was Colgate.

 

[SuFTW]

Maybe Kyle did Fran and us fans one last favor earlier this week. Too many people were positive the waiver was approved and then the nil wheels were turning for it to be all fake.

Im thinking that maybe Kyle saying if I come back that NIL money better be ready with the money was no matter what going to be a win for Fran. From what everyone said here the NIL was ready and it was competitive.

I hope Fran can tap that same money that would’ve been spent on Kyle to go get another portal QB or other impact players that he thinks he needs.

Sure its a little of bit of a bait and switch for the big donors but whatever. If by Kyle saying he was weighing his options and that got people to give an extra million or 2 in NIL to the program that still is a win For us peasants on this board.

Not sure about this. They may have been committing to pay Kyle, not the general NIL fund.

It's a crashed Dodge Dart.

No need for it anyway. He can use NIL to Uber and In about 3 months hire a driver.

I'm as pessimistic as they come and I've been watching SU FB since the early 90's (I know, that's nothing for some of you). With our lack of overall success since Mcnabb left, this year has been really special. I'm glad McCord was here, he's one of the best players I've ever watched in CFB and he played on my favorite team. It's been a really long time since I could say that. Absolutely special season I'll never forget. Now it'll be fun to follow the whole draft process too and see how he does in the draft.

The name of the thread has been changed! This makes it even more real.
