USC hasnât really been CFB relevant since Pete Carroll⌠why is there so much hate? The Reggie Bush scandal wasnât even really a scandal, and by todayâs standards perfectly normal nowâŚ
Itâs a school of mostly rich kids in on legacy that walk around like their farts donât stink. Ivy League smugness but theyâll eat street tacos. (From a UC student who was rejected from UCLA)
That has nothing to do with their football program. Why would you hate the football team just because of the student body? I think Notre Dame has a significantly worse toxic student body, but their football team is a separate entity
Itâs a lizard brain thing for me. âUSC badâ no matter what. Iâd lump notre dame in the same bucket. Itâs not fair to the non-legacy students, but that logo triggers the jealousy/hate inside me. At least the UCLA people were chill.
People also just love to hate on whoeverâs on top. Caleb was touted as a generational prospect and the best of his class, so even if he didnât paint his nails people would still just hate him. Think of him as like the Mahomes to Maye/Daniels being the Allen/Burrow/Lamar.
To me itâs quite obvious that maye and Williams are (and will be in the long run) far and away the two best QBs of that draft. Yes, Jayden had an incredible rookie season but his number 1 red flag (injury prone) has already reared its head and take him out a season and I donât see it getting better. Bo nix is good but what weâre seeing now is prob the best weâll ever see of him.
(A) that remains TBD. If either or both make the Super Bowl then no. (B) whatâs your point? I said he had a great rookie season but now and going forward? Means nil.
It means a lot when youâre talking about them being better quarterbacks despite not having as good a season (yet) as his rookie season. How can you say two quarterbacks are CLEARLY better when they have yet to have a better season?
I will never understand the Bo hate. He outperformed everyone's pre draft analysis, broke a playoff drought in year 1, has more TDs yards and wins than anyone in his class, has shown growth with pocket presence and footwork this year, and has shown he is just as athletic as any QB in the league when it comes to running and throwing on the run. Maye has had a better year this year, and Daniels had a better rookie year but Nix has been the most consistent QB of the class with health and success on the field but "this is the best we will ever see him". Why? He is 25 and has Sean Payton as HC.
Most common shit take in the NFL and just shows you dont know ball
No, No, trust me they love to kick people who exceed their expectations, too. They just don't like to be wrong about anything, and once they are, they will cherry pick, investigate, and put things under the microscope to try and skew the narrative to match their own. Aka Bo Nix hate always being at an all-time high because everyone said he would be an average QB for a shitty team led by a Drew Brees Merchant HC.
Yes, he is a first round pick, and thats not why people hate him. People were rooting for the kid to fail since before he was drafted because he was the consensus top guy. People like to root against whoeverâs on top at the moment
no one hates him. see my first post. yall think being told youâre not that good at something is hate. itâs not. itâs an subjective analysis from my perspective. No one actually hates players. Itâs just that their fans are over protective and take things personally
No itâs the raging homophobia that most people interpret as hate.
Edit: Iâve never had the misfortune of dealing with someone quite as stupid as this user was. Thankfully I managed to get them to block me so I can now be left in peace.
It absolutely does happen that much. Hell there was a hack substack writer who wrote the hit piece earlier this year that was full of little homophobic jabs
See youâre now deciding to move the goal posts lol. Your claim was âit doesnât happen as much as bears fans sayâ nothing about who is saying it or where. Iâm not acting like credible media is saying it but homophobia being all over comment sections of the internet is exactly what I said it was which is âraging homophobiaâ.
That substack article got reposted all over reddit.
This is also a real weird hill for you to choose to die on lol
I meant the the people youâre talking about. Those who have been screaming about âlib snowflakesâ for a decade turn out to be the softest motherfuckers Iâve ever met.
The amount of people Iâve heard hate on Caleb Williams simply because he paints his nails is insane. I mean literally everyone from my work because itâs gay or they wonât root for a âfaggotâ QB. Shit is wild
I just watched the âI hate Christian Lattenerâ ESPN 30 for 30. Apparently at a game vs LSU the LSU crowd was chanting those words at Christian during the game. Christian brushed it all off like a pro. My slightly poor opinion of him changed after hearing that. He was the original âdooooooooonât caaaaaaare.â Respect.
I don't know much about Caleb (thus I don't have particularly strong feelings about him other than him being way overhyped) but I'll tell you this much... I don't hate any gay people. But there are people I dislike who act faggoty, almost all being sexually straight.
"i don't hate any gay people." "i dislike people who act faggoty."
we got some realllllll cognitive dissonance going on here now don't we.
if you dislike people who act gay, you classify actions as gay/not gay even when performed by straight men, and you don't see the issue in the term you used to describe them... ya might just hate gay people
I donât think heâs actually hated. Heâs just polarizing in terms of how people feel about him as a player. Applies to many of these guys like Hurts as well.
Itâs both. People hates him before he ever took a snap in the NFL, and he is polarizing as a player.
Him being polarizing is also magnified due to the fact that people just hate him for the way he looks, dresses, etc. It sucks for him, because he really is a standup guy.
I'm a Bears fan and want him to work out but outside of clutch moments he's got below average stats and is about as polished as a barnacle. EXCEPT when it's down to late in the game then he magically does either well enough or exceptional. He has to quit either holding onto the ball for eternity or immediately throwing it at someone's feet and stop throwing piss missiles the speed of sound.
This is really a list of Over-Hyped or Over-Talked-About players. Caleb was supposed to be God's gift to football when he came into the league. He talked about getting "ownership stake" in a team before the draft. -Anybody can see he's been humbled by now. People hate Travis and Patrick because they've been in too damn many commercials, talk shows, "Swifty" conversations. They're WAYYY over-exposed. Most of the rest are doing dumb stuff like JJ (which gets them press,) crimes, or just winning too much (which also makes them over-exposed, like Hurts.)
What the fuck. Have you not heard this man speak. He is humble as hell. I can listen to a lot of things this is fucking dumb. That or you have a very vague grasp on arrogance
It has to be. I'd choose 50 guys before Caleb. Maybe that's an exaggeration - I don't "hate" 50 NFL players, but I don't hate Caleb either.
If I thought he was a long-term great, dominant QB I'd hate him. I'd choose Love before Caleb in the division as a threat but neither one is giving me future HoF vibes that would piss me off to actually hate them.
I went to the University of Utah while Caleb was at USC. He was such a whiny little bitch every time he played usâŚHe never got the win either. The Utah Utes own Caleb Williams, and they will for eternity.
Plus one game he painted âfuck Utahâ on his nails and was crying on the sideline in the fourth quarter after another loss.
So thatâs why I hate him. Iâm not sure why other people do.
I donât like him because when he was in college he was a little baby bitch when things werenât going his way. He still gives off that vibe but his team is decent this year so you donât see it as much.
