I was not the biggest fan but he received a scholarship, got a free education at usc and pitt. That’s not too shabby.
I mean he got a free education at usc, something that aunt Becky paid over 300k for with her daughter.
Kid seems level headed and has a good perspective on life. If not starting at qb for USC is the worst thing to happen to someone, I don’t feel too bad.
Good luck to him

Just my opinion but he would have been a star QB in a league like CUSA or something like that. For example, he picked apart the RICE defense in 2017. Reason being there was limited pass rush from the opponent. That pace of play seemed to suite his processing abilities.
Doesn't work that way in the ACC or PAC 12, though.

Yep he got a free education and no I don’t feel bad for the kid at all. He was bad a QB. I’m just saying most 5 star top rated players who do nothing typically act entitled and have a big head. Then when they fail at football...but this kid treated ppl right and acted as a good person. Because of that he has a chance to do something in life because ppl are more willing to help a good person.
I respect ppl who take responsibility and don’t blame others. This kid said he sucked and didn’t make excuses.
That's a good observation. Often we have not seen such startling difference from our QBs from level to level. Some might do a bit better against G5 than P5, but not a total 180 like he showed vs Rice compared to our more advanced opponents. As i recall he was essentially perfect in that Rice game.
and he was a helluva lot better crew rower than her also...
That $300,000 was just to gain admission; add another $300,000 plus, for four years at USC.
Max did okay.

Greg Odem recently joined a panel at Ohio State aimed at reaching all those who have difficulty in post athletic life. I'm sure it isn't fun to stand in front of people and talk about failed efforts.
I'll save my criticism for the loud mouth, trash talking, never was soon to be deadbeats of the world.
I know this, 99% of all the world does their job without placing their names across the back of their shirts.
Max did nothing to deserve anyone's legit criticism. I think he has a much thicker skin than most people. That will serve him well in a country with more than it's fair share of sniveling whiners.

I don't know why QBs, of all people want to take such a huge chance of never playing significant snaps. Honestly, if I was a 5 star I'd go to a Pitt-level school with the promise of a guaranteed starting job, then either declare for the draft after Year 3 or grad transfer up
He does a decent job breaking down film on his twitter. It is mostly USC or other Pac 12 games, but not a bad follow.
Being able to perform under pressure, both physical (pass rush), and mental, is what separates the star players from the crowd. Most of the players who make it to D-1 have at least some talent, but can you perform when Aaron Donald is roaring towards you, and you know you're gonna get hit? Can you make the pass when it's 4th and 10, and your team is down by 4 points, with 50 seconds left in the game? The guys who can, are the ones you see playing in January, including some who are only modestly gifted, but have that ability to perform under pressure. Conversely, there are plenty of guys who have arms like a cannon, and who can run like a deer, but crumble when the heat is on. They don't make it.
Max got a bad deal at Pitt. Watson’s offense, a crap oline and wr’s that couldn’t catch a cold in the first few games. He was beaten badly due to a lack of protection. I respect the way he carried himself and wish him the best.
