If he is anything like his film, then he'll yes. I just get concerned being he playing single A football.

I’d take a single A state champ QB over a single A non state champ QB. Also, PACS beat Swainesboro who could beat some 4 or 5 A schools.
 
Also just watching film, Williams looks like he played against middle schoolers. Philo at least looked like he was playing against high schoolers.

This take is so repeated and so wrong. No one makes you view anything on Twitter that you don't want to. You pick who to follow and if you don't like what they post then you unfollow them. There is a ton of great information provided by knowledgeable people on just about any topic you are interested in if you curate your feed. And there is no substitute for getting unvarnished takes on current events, free of the rotten mainstream media.

I daresay that the character limit, the difficulty in having a coherent, nuanced conversation, and the general likes/dopamine economy is a prime contributor to the endumbening of society. Sure, you can curate it to make it less toxic, but that doesn’t change the fact that Twitter and other forms of social media are hastening the downfall of society.

I've been hearing about the supposed "downfall of society" since I can remember. But when I actually look around and compare things now to how things used to be, it's actually not all that much -- wait, we're ööööed.
 
I have seen Philo mentioned in a couple of posts but nothing about him. Here is the AJC article announcing his commitment ---

GEORGIA TECH
By Ken Sugiura, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

Aaron Philo led his team to state championship in December

One day after a quarterback prospect withdrew his commitment to Georgia Tech, another one jumped in with his declaration to be a Yellow Jacket.

Aaron Philo of Prince Avenue Christian School announced his decision on social media Thursday evening. Philo, who threw for more than 9,000 yards in his first two seasons as a starter, led the Wolverines to the Class A Division I state title in December, completing a 14-0 season.

Philo, listed at 6-foot-2 and 200 pounds, was the successor at Prince Avenue Christian to Brock Vandagriff, now at Georgia. Philo is a three-star prospect rated the No. 104 rising senior in the state of Georgia (247Sports Composite). He also was The Atlanta Journal-Constitution’s offensive player of the year for the state in Class A Division I.

Philo’s announcement followed four-star prospect Jakhari Williams’ declaration Wednesday that he was withdrawing his commitment to Tech. Williams, from First Presbyterian Day School in Macon, made his commitment in November, the first player to accept a scholarship offer from Tech for the 2024 class. Philo himself previously was committed to Minnesota, committing in March before pulling back in April.
Philo announced his scholarship offer from Tech in January, among the first teams to do so. He also has reported offers from Indiana, Central Florida, Coastal Carolina and Cincinnati, among other schools.


Philo has been Prince Avenue Christian’s starter for two years and has thrown for 9,326 yards with 103 touchdown passes in his career, according to the Georgia High School Football Historians Association, including 4,598 yards with 54 touchdown passes last season. (That’s a per-game average of 328 yards and 3.9 touchdown passes last season.)
Were he to replicate his passing yardage from last season, he would break the state career passing yardage record held by Trevor Lawrence by 22 yards.

Tech’s 2024 class stood at six players as of Friday, ranked 32nd nationally and eighth in the ACC.

And his tweet ---

Better league than Jakhari. They also play a few teams in a higher class every year and since they go far in the playoffs do end up playing 4-5 legit teams.

Might need more time to develop but it goes both ways: Yates dominated at a high level but it was because he was surrounded by great talent and couldn’t over come his physical limitations.

You realize Williams plays private school (Independent) football? Basically even lower than Philo.

In FL small private schools recruit all the top talent and almost all of the best teams are small privates. I guess things are different in other states?

Having gone to a small private HS in FL that recruits talent and is a state powerhouse in its classification, I would still not consider the team one of the best teams in the state.

There are some like that in GA but those schools play in the GHSA with all the public schools. The independents that play in GISA aren't quite the same, especially the really small ones.

Like you I’ve been hearing of the downfall of society all my life. My theory of this is the change that each generation encounters seems strange and different to the older generation. Now that I have made it to actually being a member of the older generation, I can see the reasons for the proclamations.
