Roberson
- Thread starter kevin-w
- Start date
We have the only coaching staff in the world that has a highly ranked recruit not work out. Some of you people live in fantasy land.
The kid couldn't even get off a snap in Iowa. He was a backup to a qb that couldn't move. I'm not saying he needs to be a star, just serviceable.
I’ll bet you there are a lot more just like him all over the history of college football. Sometimes highly recruited kids just suck at the D-1 level.
IMO this is more on the recruiting services that ranked this kid as a 4*. We've seen this countless times. Just because they look good on a 7-7 drill in shorts doesn't mean it translates to games. Rivals puts way too much emphasis on their camps.
But and here it comes.... Franklin and staff still recruited him so....
And no other coach ever recruits a kid that doesn’t work out? Wow, I did not know that.
You really are an ass and just looking for a fight aren't you?
I think we win the game if Roberson plays. His running ability would've been a game changer. Especially in OT. His problem is most likely due to being on his 3rd OC.
He has more than most. He has no eye for talent… he thought a Slade was better than Sanders.
Since all the critics have been labeled the Coaches Advisory Committee (CAC), constant defenders should be labeled the Franklin Ball Washer Committee (FBWC)
There’s fine lines between open minded, a contrarian, and a troll.
He put Miles Sanders in a timeshare with Ricky Slade. Sanders should have gotten the Barkley treatment.
Obviously, we don't see practice so it's all conjecture. But there is something seriously wrong in that qb room.
You're talking about the 2018 season?
The season where:
Miles Sanders --- 220 carries for 1274 yards
Ricky Slade -- 45 carries for 257 yards
that's a timeshare?
Yea, I didn't get his original post at all and his follow up was even worse.
Roberson mostly had his ranking from his performances in camps.
It doesn't help that he was recruited for Rahne's system which is very different from MY's system, but hey let's not use logic or anything like that.

Did anyone see TR on Saturday during warm-ups? Is there a chance he got injured in practice before the game, hence why Sean had to play?
Roberson was Franklin's vision of a Trace McSorley replacement. They are pretty close to the same size. But then ...
- The offense changed. It's no longer all about the read-option run. The Yurcich offense is served better by a more traditional pro-style quarterback -- tall, strong arm, able to see and exploit the entire field.
- The offense drifted towards being even more pass-oriented, because we can't run. Nothing has changed on how we (do not) develop offensive linemen.
- As usual, the backup (now Roberson) has almost no playing time. He was put in a tough, unfamiliar situation in Iowa -- like parents sending a grade school kid immediately to high school. I would blame the parents.
You’re the one who threw it on Franklin that a recruit didn’t work out as if it never happens anywhere else. When you post stupid things, you’re going to get called out for it.
Or maybe it just turned out he wasn’t very good and his ranking was wrong….just a thought.
Oh good Lord just stop. Stop being disingenuous. You know exactly what I meant. And yea when YOU post stupid shit I will surely call YOU out on it.
You have to put in the disclaimer that I knew what you meant, but I’m the guy posting stupid shit….interesting take.
I say that because you are not new here. You and I have a long history of posting and you know exactly what my feelings are of Franklin and this program and recruiting. So yea just stop looking for a fight where there wasn't one to begin with.
I just got a text from a fellow alum and it seems there's smoke on another site. That's if the screen shot he got sent was real.
I know you're a Den member. If it's true I'm thinking you'll find out before us free board flunkies. I don't want to start rumors.
Yep. Watched alot when they were in sweats around 11 AM and TR looked fine during passing drills. He didn’t put a ton of zip on the ball, but that time is as much about getting loose as anything else so not a good barometer.
The issues are as outlined by KnightWhoSaysNit. He was recruited as running QB for the old offense. If Allar and Pribula commit TR would portal out, IMO.

Inconsequential at this point relative the other breaking, perhaps promising, news.
He's a coaches jock rider and he is sitting in the corner with a dunce cap on now that he is the minority on his own apologist board.
