Class of 2021 QB Kyle McCord (NJ) TRANSFERRING TO SYRACUSE (12/17/23)

[tep624]

I think he almost took a late visit here after he had committed to Rutgers

That’s right. I remember that too.

They were a lot of fun to play with and compete against in hoops (& track). Nate was the better hooper. Brian was an athlete on the court. Both were fast on the track.

Where did you go to high school?

Potsdam

IMO not a upgrade. They were so hell bent on running Kyle out of town.

 

[Qbobby]

Agreed, I don't see that as an upgrade at all.

This is a Rutgersian move on their part. Hillarious.

 

[Cusester]

Ryan Day, as in, his Days are numbered.

Lol McCord had better stats than him in every category. 500 more yards, 4 less interceptions, higher completion %, higher QBR. Same TDs

Duce and Fadil are all in

I really don't think anybody is going to keep track of McCord and his numbers relative to Howard's.

Nope. Nobody's going to keep track of that at all.

*Edit - this was a tweet from Thamel that appears to have been deleted, but it was in reference to Tua's little brother seeking an additional year of eligibility for his first season in which he played in 5 games rather than Redshirt.

We should all be keeping an eye on this - if Tua’s little brother is successful I can’t see how McCord couldn’t make the same claim.

I hope he’s successful. The freshman redshirt concept should be based on a participation threshold rather just # of games a player participated in. You literally could have a Frosh QB come in for 1 play in 5 games right now and lose a redshirt while a positional player could play 4 full games and not.

I don’t think he wants an extra year. He wants a year of tape and then to try for the NFL.

But it’s not like it happens by accident though.

I don't think he does either, but he did mention the mismanagement of his redshirt year being one of his gripes.

But but but he he he couldn’t beat Michigan !! He he he is not elite. Marvin made him look good!


Yeahhh okay guy. Sheesh they are up there with the most delusional fan base in the country.

We got a stud, folks

Both things can be true.

McCord is a stud, and Marvin Harrison Jr made him look good.

There is a video upthread which has virtually every pass McCord threw last season. He's a very good quarterback.

Some of his misfires were still caught because Harrison is just that good. His adjustments to the ball are amazing.

That said, maybe McCord throws for a couple hundred fewer yards and a few less touchdowns if he has merely "good" receivers instead of a "great" one?

McCord is going to be the best throwing QB we've had at least since Nassib, and maybe forever.

If we learned anything from this years CFP, it's that Ohio State should have been there.

Every great QB usually has a dude in his receiving corps. Can’t agree more it absolutely benefitted McCord. And yea agree on how good he will be.

OG begs to differ with merely good.

I wasn't referring to our guys at all... My point is that McCord was still going to have great numbers last year even if you traded out Harrison for an average P5 starting receiver. It wasn't like Harrison made that much difference. Some, but not a ton.

McCord is going to have guys that can get open next year, and he's going to get the ball to them in positions where they can do something.

Harrison totally botched the route on McCords first pick in the UM game. He giveth and taketh at times.

Speaking of, It's now January 10th and no declaration for the draft...

Where is McCord gonna finish on this list, at the end of the year?
