I sure hope his lack of production at his last spot was due to injury or some other non-football reason, because his production thus far is not inspiring confidence. Nice to have another guy I guess.

Great! I only heard about this guy today on the Blockcast podcast. He should be a great depth piece and looks to have the size/talent to make some plays for us in the future.

Let’s tone down the Isaac hate. He is still a member of our team and is working hard to rebuild confidence. Your exaggerated hot take certainly won’t help in that regard.
We’ll see if he can process the game faster and make better decisions in the future. If so, his arm strength/talent alone could make him a solid part of our QB room.

Hopefully he turns into a good player for us! Go UTES!

I saw that. Good for Covey. He is one of my all-time favorite players. I hope he get a chance to play receiver.

I’ve been a fan my whole life and I’m 54. Wilson was the worst QB I have ever watched in a Utes uniform. The running game was average & the play calling poor. Not sure how good Dampier is, but anyone, myself included, is better than Wilson. Wilson was so bad he would have been third string at Weber State.

He could be a great big body option for short turn in routes for touchdowns and conversion plays for first downs. Dampier excels at quick on time passes, so Merriweather fits in nicely to Beck’s offense.

2 things Utah has done very well over the years

1. Recruit players ‘under the radar’ and develop them over a few years into great contributors, often ready to play on Sunday.

2. Players that play here a few years, get a feel for a ‘family’ type atmosphere and bond together as a unit.

NIL sort of ruins both of these. A rising star heads to…[Read more]

Well, the problem is that when I said “Cal”, it’s just an example that also applies to many more universities. I always said that this new world of unlimited transfers, NIL, etc…would lead to a series of unintended consequences, of which many universities dropping football or athletics in general is just one. Here’s another…we all know that a…[Read more]

Can he block?

He was hurt while at Cal that certainly hurt his production.

This is good news, but I’m not going to get my hopes up. There were like 5 WRs ahead of him at Cal in terms of production.

One thing I do like is that he seems to be someone that stretches the field well. Most of his catches seem like long-ball type plays.

Excellent news!

BREAKING: Utah lands former Cal WR Tobias Merriweather from portal

Uh no.

I’m saying that if Dampier is throwing like he did last year, the offense is likely to resemble what we generally saw pre-Rising – a conservative offense with a game manager under center. Traditionally, that style of offense has limited Utah’s potential but also a big reason these receivers are skittish coming to Utah.

It will be sustainable for some, not so sustainable for others. So, I do expect a significant realignment and schools that were at a disadvantage in the old system (say SMU and BYU) emerging as potential powers, while some schools step back because they don’t have the resources to match the higher rollers.

Wow. Didn’t know that. Interesting.
