They care about the perception of overpaying? Does Tech?

Do you think Bama offered comparable $$?

I feel like we are comparing prime Jessica Simpson and prime Jessica Biel here

You know Jessica Simpson would do things that would make a sailor blush.

If so Beal is Coleman

Alba. Alba vs Biel is the comparison you're looking for.

Way better

QB play between Auburn and Alabama was not comparable. Both are good players, but don't look to hard at the stats.

---

Simpson struggled with the deep ball. Horton has insanely good hands. But gotcha considering Auburns horrific QB play.

Physically, Horton gets the nod IMO. Certainly size wise with equivalent 40 times. Moffit can hopefully do wonders for him.

---

Guess who else struggles with the deep ball?

Sark seems a bit desperate but not quite as desperate as Kiffin. Their OL is gonna be a huge weakness, yet, again.

---

Mind you their worst O-line recent years beat our best D-line in DECADES....

Coleman would've been freaky amazing. Realistically, I'm shocked we got either one though. WR was not in the 3 positions I was most worried about going into 2026 so I didn't really think we'd land a splash on any of them. If anything, I was expecting a Jahdae Walker to come in and be WR4 or so

---

Kind of funny you mention a comparison to an NFL player as coming in to be a 4th.

---

Well yeah... I would love to have our very own Devonta Smith, Metchie, Ruggs, Waddle, Metchie in the 5 deep.

This was nowhere close to our best D line in decades. Nice try, sip.

It has nothing to do with pumping sunshine. It's about you making a factually incorrect statement and twisting it as fact to try and denigrate the job A&M has done on the DL in recent years. We've had numerous defensive lines since we joined the SEC that were better than this one. Aside from last year, 2024, we've had a better defensive line than texas for the last decade plus. We've taken pretty much whoever we wanted, and texas has picked up our scraps save for 3-4 guys over the last 10 years.

Best DL in decades???? How young are you? Cashius Howell was a monster in the pass rush (minus his disappearance in the tu and Miami game) but who else outside of him was outstanding? We had some players on the DL but no where near "best in decades". No one outside of Howell even received honorable mentions. That has to be ridiculous hyperbole.

This. We were getting gashed on the ground from the very 1st game of the season. texas didn't do anything remarkable against us when you realize that everyone did that to us this year.

Regis was outstanding buy we definitely didn't have the best DL in decades.

Whoever is throwing the ball to them is gonna have a helluva lot to do with their productivity

That being said, Horton has a bigger catch radius and that will be VERY important.

This is a weak take. Cam is by far the superior player, no need to pretend otherwise. Horton may very well excel here and have a great season, but let's not be ridiculous because if Coleman had committed here you'd be ecstatic.

---

Far superior in what way? Speed? No. Size? No. Production? No. No one said we wouldn't be ecstaticif we landed Coleman wr would have been. But its okay to be thrilled with a bigger faster more productive SEC player that was way cheaper. Coleman was WR #1 Horton was a #2.

---

Body control, hands, route running, contested catches. Watch both guys highlight reels. The only thing that can thwart Coleman with a qb like Manning is their interior line. It sucks. Manning may not get off a throw unless they do more in the portal. Which they may.
