AB enters the transfer portal

He's a phenom that we don't use. Should have designs to get him the ball like UF used Percy Harvin. This sucks, hope he finds a team that uses him.

I think that's what we all expected, but after watching him play, I don't think he's that type of player - at least at this point. I haven't really seen him do anything well other than run really fast past the defense, which was important last year when our offense was so inconsistent that flinging it deep was often our best bet. When he's gotten the ball in space on short passes or punt returns, I haven't seen him make people miss, and he's gone down pretty easily with contact.

It's always going to hurt to lose somebody with that kind of speed, but I think we'll be fine.

He wasn’t ATL for the last 3 games.
His last action was vs BC, 1 rush, 1 pass caught.

No, he hasn’t been used as a target at all this season. Even when he was ATL, which hasn’t been the case in weeks, he wouldn’t get targets. I guarantee you that he was pissed that Collins wouldn’t do anything, Collins said that it was either the 404 way or you don’t deserve to be on this team, and AB got pissed. I can GUARANTEE you that’s what happened

Yeah this is pretty much how I felt about Brown plus he's been injured for half the season. Everyone was in agreement that we needed him back but now it looks like he'll never return. This does open up a spot and we should have wide receivers shooting our of our ears soon enough.

James Graham... numbnuts

Graham’s talents are not suited for this type of offense. He was better suited for the 3O.

Brown was quick but small, in size and stature. Plus he has been injured a good part of the season. In his absence, Sanders and Harris have stepped up.

Oh, I'm sorry, Carson Newman expert on GT, we need to throw to a player so his damn fee fees don't get hurt. I forgot.

Yep, I was surprised Collins went so hard after AB. For a staff that focuses on measurables, AB was an outlier. Had he not gotten injured this year, maybe they could have designed some plays for him. Too bad. Best of luck AB, not many guys can match a CJ record.

Good lord. James Graham looked like warmed over D2 talent, to be brutal about it. If Lucas Johnson had remained healthy, Graham would have ridden pine all last season. If we were running 3-O, he would have been playing behind Tobias.

This fiction that Graham was somehow our savior at QB is just that. Fiction.

Graham could be placed somewhere else, even if it wasn’t 3O. We still could’ve used him as a rotational QB instead of having Sims in there the whole time. I still would’ve liked to see graham start and we slide Sims in instead of throwing Sims into the fire. I think Sims has the tools to be successful, he just got thrown in way too quick.

A player like Brown, if he loses a half step of speed, all the sudden becomes a burden on roster management. I don't know what his injury was, but apparently he never recovered to form and his playing option window going forward was narrow.
