Kyle McCord to NFL Draft

[IthacaMatt]

Now that we have the official decision from Kyle, it will be interesting to see if we go after another bigger name, experienced Portal QB. I bet we will.

I hope we don't, actually. You want all these young kids bought in.
It's like European soccer - if there's no path to being a starter, then you're going to leave.
Try these kids out. We can be a very good team with 5-8 new players, real contributors, who play positions other than QB.

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

Anyone that isn’t excited for this kid needs to consider how all of these players being drafted looks good for the future for Cuse football we haven’t had kids drafted like we will this year in years

board won’t like it but I can see Dallas making sense here.

I don’t like it

I’m already thinking about next years schedule.

A lot riding on a game that was scheduled years ago to pad Tennessee's schedule.

If Fran can somehow work some magic on August 30th we’ll be spending a solid amount of time in the top 25 next year early on even if the crazy schedule catches up with us later in the season.

I can't wait. Already have a hotel booked. Hope to see you all there!

The NCAA right now.

Other than Melo i don't know of any athlete in the history of Syracuse University athletics that has made a greater contribution to SU.
Kyle led us to one of the greatest seasons we have had in the last 20 or more years. He has led a complete culture change within the program and has completely changed to National sports narrative of Syracuse football from a negative to one of relevance.
He has put us back on the map, back in the conversation.
All while carrying himself as the definition of leader.
As far as I'm concerned he is the single most important " Event" that I can remember at SU since Melo leading us to the National Championship. Can't wait to watch him in the NFL.

 

[IthacaMatt]

Well that part but also our roster is already pretty much filled. Can't bring guys in without moving guys out right now.

Spring is for culling the herd. I expect maybe as many as 8-10 kids to get the talk and portal after they fail to impress in the spring.

Terrell’s KM6 chip sightings!!

They are at the Wegmans stores on 57 and 31!! Supplies are limited, however. Get em while you can!

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.

Nixon called great games. I only wish our defense had attacked more.

They threw him away, and they suffered the consequences.
He proved his worth. I hope he has a great career.

 

[IthacaMatt]

This just feels right. For Kyle and the program. Lets see where we go from here.

This is great. Fran and the team have the buzz. He's shown he can do it.
Next year sets up the next 3 or 4 years. Tough schedule.
If we beef up our defense, add a good center, keep last year's guards, who have the extra JUCO year.
Give us maybe a lead guy at WR, a C on offense, and then a DT, DE, LB, S, and 2 more corners.
That seems a little greedy, maybe, but I think we will have the openings - and the need.

Dungey gave us a 10 win season and win over Clemson, too. An equally great year, but in a different way.

Dungey senior year was amazing but it wasn't as good as this season. Worse schedule and didn't have the hype of beating a top 10 team. Sucks both seasons we lost to Pittsburgh on the road and I was at both of them. Lol Pittsburgh is our kryptonite for some reason

Well said. It’s year 1 of the Fran Brown era. Just saw we got another WR.

Bradford can come back as well right?

Sounds like Williams is less likely the guy but stranger things have happened.

He looked good when I saw him play his senior HS year.

Ideally they find another great portal guy for a year and give their best backup a series each half.*

* Doug Marrone would approve

 

[Moontan]

Generally, I always want a dual threat QB, but they have to actually be a dual-threat, not just a guy that plays QB and runs well but can't throw.

Jakhari can pass!

Dungey was such a warrior. Fantastic player carried that team on his back

 

[David321]

My only regret this season is that it looks like I will never get to know what the chips tasted like. But I did see every game Kyle ever played in the Dome in person so I'll take it.

Jim Brown, Ernie Davis, Floyd Little, Donovan McNabb.
