Video starts at 4:36 you are welcome. Matt likes to Yap about nothing at the start of every video as we all know
Thanks
thx!
Agreed
god bless you!!
Dude I wanted to never listen or watch this guy's videos again after that waste of life that was the first 5 mins... geezus h christ that was brutal...
The reason Jalen Hurts stayed for the whole season was so he didn't get his schoolwork interrupted. Student first, athlete second. Worked out pretty well for him.
He already won a national title. he stayed because of the transfer rules not some super connection to his class work. Jalen is hardly known for his scholarly approach to his craft
@@richknisley9287 yet he finished a Masters Degree while prepping for and playing in the Super Bowl. But sure, he doesn't care for academics.
If you believe he did that by actually doing all that work, then you never played high level athletics of any kind. i did .i know. ive been there ive done that. athletic depts protect their investment.
@@richknisley9287 did he get a master's degree? Really you played sports at a high level? Id love to know where and who you are? I did not have that experience but I do know a couple of high level athletes including Steve Shields who was a pitcher for the braves and graduated with honors lmao wtf you talking about? Just bc you couldn't juggle both if you're telling the truth doesn't mean there aren't OVERACHIEVERS in this world
Some people will never understand being good at something.But your heart just isn't in it anymore
I relate to this guy. Back in the 80's...I wasn't the "5 star" guy...but I had offers to smaller schools. My heart just wasn't in it. I didn't LOVE, LOVE football that much. I wanted to be a STUDENT. Join a fraternity and have that "college experience" that athletes don't fully get. I don't regret my decision a bit. My "heart" wasn't in the game. I had bigger fish to fry.
@@scottbaron121 I have had multiple friends decline offers to play D3 or JUCO basketball, football, wrestling, etc to just focus on school and life. Can’t hate them but couldn’t be me
And also knowing you have a rich ass family and you can do whatever you want and you will be rich. That makes it real easy to do what he did. 😂
Sounds like Phil Robertson
Being a rich pro football player is not the pinnacle of success! The dude happened to play football and be good at it! He also happened to be a great husband, father, and grill master! People need to stop projecting what they think a successful life is! He looks happy, his family looks happy, and he looks to be successful with his business! The rest of yall who hate on him can kick rocks
Damn is he your husband? 😅😅
People who live in cold states never want to realize most athletes don’t want to live in cold states 😂
The money is MADE in cold states weirdo- OG
But the best QBs we know play for cold states in the NFL
Why not? When u play in the NFL u have to play in the cold. So why not get ready for it? Why just play in the heat? But yet all Alabama QBs suck anyway. They only had 2 good ones. Joe Nathan, and the dude from Miami dolphins.. everyone else pretty much sucked!!
@@Ken-fg7br Just for it to get taken in State and federal taxes 😂 there’s a reason players are happy to go to the south when they go pro. And you recover better from injuries in a warmer climate.
People who live in warm states never want to realize that most athletes don’t care about the weather
This is not meant to be shade in any way; he seems like the kind of guy with solid, wealthy parents and probably didn't need an NFL payday to do just fine in life.
Seems like he made the right decisions he could at the time and has turned out to be a solid dude. You love to see it.
My parents have a lot of money. My dad said get your a$$ to work. Do you know how pathetic it is to say "My parents are wealthy so I don't need to make money". And you celebrate that? Christ.
@@danielrn133 You’re focusing on a specific detail and misreading it rather than actually understanding my comment as a whole.
I’m saying he has a good support system in place and turned out to be a good man. As he should, he has the qualities of coming from a good family.
Not a lot of people in life grow up in the right support system and with financial security both.
Great kid came to terms with his career and moved on with his life nothing but respect !!
😊
Yes, my brother is friend's with him and his family. He doesn't own a barbeque business, but works at a barbeque restaurant. Other than that, great video!
When he committed to Notre Dame, he was 4th, but when he decommitted and committed to Bama, he became number one without any improvements. shitty rankings
Great job! Never heard of thisguy before but I have a lot of respect for him after seeing this well made video.
It takes a great deal of character to be humble enough to know when to walk away from anything...
Matt, I have been following you for sometime now. First thanks for this video! I always wondered what happened to Bama starting QB who was ahead of Jalen Hunts. As I recalled that year Bama Offensive Line was not good. Blake was suppose to be a stud but without blockers he looked suspect! If Jalen Hurts first read wasn't open he would just run. Without a QB spy that threw off the defense and made Jalen looked like a stud. With Blakes injury he did what was best for him and his family. Once again thanks for everything you do. ROLL TIDE!
This was a good video dude
NCAA 25 content loading
Dude I was at that USC game when Hurts came in and stamped his legacy at Bama! When Barnett transferred it was a shock and disappointment but like you said two sides to every story! Props to him for making his next move his best move after football! Blake Barnett keep grinding bro! Roll Tide!
He's a winner 🏆
Shoot, as a dude from Alabama, I remember Blake Barnett well, and the hype was real!
I thought he was gonna be a beast at ND, never knew the reason he decommitted. Nice video
That was the problem with going to alabama in the saban years. You better perform and do it quick
You can say what you want, but Barnett was just making excuses. He came from money, and when it was shown that he was clearly overrated from the rankings, he moved on 3 separate times before an injury said, "im done."
Dude never had any real love for football and you can see that.
He had options. A lot of guys feel like their only option is football, thus they put 110% into it. A lot of the best athletes (there are exceptions) come from poor opportunities. He wasn't worried about facing poverty if he didn't make it. The decisions he made in recruiting and college career weren't very well guided either
@@gearheadgaming1537 agree with everything you said.
I remember that game clearly, when the camera showed a close up when Bama had the ball, he had a deer in the headlight look. I knew he was done
He did just fine with his life
kelly bryant former clemson qb went to missouri haven’t heard a thing since
Bro got ran outta Clemson by T Law 😂
@@__yklimnot Ty Law but Trevor Lawrence
Bama fan here and a big Blake Barnett supporter. I was so disappointed when he didn't win the starting job at Bama. Lane Kiffin was a great OC but he always favored the running QBs and not the pocket passers. As for Saban, I would point out that he had great relationships with other offensive players such as Hurts, Tua, Mac Jones, D Henry, etc, so I think that's not a fair statement. But Barnett is winning at life because he has a gorgeous wife and family, and he's got a good career. I'm glad he's doing well. The NFL may be flashy but it comes with a price, so I don't blame anyone for not having the desire to play in the NFL.
Great video of the real story on Blake. I know the feeling of disconnect with a new coach. Had no idea the full reason on why he transferred midseason. Us Bama grads/fans think our school is the end all-be all, but sometimes it’s just not a good fit. Not for everyone.
I enjoy your videos and sense of humor. You bash people but usually cut them slack in the end to stay objective. Roll Tide.
PS. You should definitely try to get Agiye Hall on the show. Hope he’s gotten his act together and has a good year.
self aware man who wanted to focus on his family, can't hate on that! great video
Yo matt ima need ncaa 25 content😏
No
@@jonn8911 yes fn
Play it yourself dummy
He alluded to the fact he didn’t sell out multiple times.. IF TOU DONT SELL OUT FOR YOURE PASSION.. SONEONE ELSE WILL!!
Maybe bring a superstar nfl qb is not what he wanted! Did you ever think of that? Some people are no willing to sell their souls and morals just to be a rich professional athlete
It is so cool to hear Clarence all grown up doing sports TH-cam videos. I wonder how Jeff and Sumo are doing these days.
Hey Matt, can we get a reaction to the NCAA 25 trailer and the athletes that are on the cover cause I’m surprised you didn’t make that video yet
So early thats theres no comments only bots😂😂😂
That's how recruiting works. Ever notice how if Alabama, Ohio State or Georgia even looks a players way he jumps 1 or 2 stars in the rankings. As soon as they do, every other program is putting them on the radar. And that is part of the reason some kids with skills and potential will slip through the cracks and then end up at directional state U leading an upset of a major program.
Half these hs clips are of Blake Barnett from Erie Hs in colorado, bro committed to kstate. All the orange helmets and black and white jerseys are erie
Barnett has that "Zach Wilson" look about him.
Jalen Hurts replaced Barnett back then and now Hurts earns $51 million per season.
It just wasn't in the cards for Barnett.
He did make it further than you!
life happens can’t judge the gentlemen to bad .
Dude made excuses, quit immediately when he wasn't the starter, and quit football altogether after one injury.
He never really cared about it much. He came from money, so none of this bothers him.
It's so much that goes on with football though u never know bruh
I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE "WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO THIS GUY" CARMONI VIDEO!!😂 See you in about a year or two for that one!! 😂😂
Crazy hate
There's no one named carmoni
@@user-bd3zy6wo7l yeah well you know exactly who I'm referring too........
@@__yklim It goes well beyond hate!
I remember that season opener against USC. You nailed it Barnett didn’t play “terrible”. just the offense moved so much more fluid with Jalen hurts. His dual threat ability was just too much for defenses to handle.
Yes, I believe that you are correct about Blake Barnett being happy. I'm sure he is happy that he is a husband, a father, and most of all a business man. Earning his keep for his family. That's a winner in my book.
Pulling up the stats for that USC game was very disingenuous. He recorded pretty all those yards and the TD in garbage time in the fourth against backups.
As a USC fan I remember his first start vs USC. When he was ass then Jalen Hurts came in to destroy them
Cold weather only sucks for guys not playing.
I remember watching him kill it at the Elite 11
The only team in a cold state pro athletes want to play for is Green Bay. And even that is iffy.
Honestly I respect Blake for his insights and candor when talking about his football career. It seems to take many more things than just talent and hard work to persevere in football.
Blake is a winner, great attitude!
Being a life long USC fan and my dad being acquaintances with the guy; Labe Kiffin WAS a Deadbeat Alcoholic coach who didn't care about his players and caused scenes in bars ALL THE TIME. Ive heard good things from him being at Ole Miss
Tom Savage's journey from starter to transfer sitting two years then starting again with Pitt. Short NFL career. Interesting story.
Can u make a video on the ncaa game coming out
No
He did it
@@UnknownSource08he did it
@@howtogetawaywithgaming2146 just to say he’s been busy making videos. We all know what road to glory will bring. We don’t care about white Randy’s destiny
Legend. Great channel. Great story. Struesgod.
is there any correlation between "The Ranch"'s Colt Bennett and Blake bennett ?
You left out Barnett looking scared and fumbling the snap when he got pulled
The new transfer portal is crazy . A bunch of divas nowadays. Not solid football players .
He was great at USF, a winner for sure, unfortunately, injuries got him.
Oil up matt
What happened to shame 💀😭
@@crilinramirez55😂
Do a story on big time recruits that goy hurt in high school. There are plenty of us. We might have made it but the injury derailed our career
Jalen Fumble on ghat first series and me and my friend said that fumble will be legendary 😂
Anything on NCAA 25?
What do NFL scouts think of players who "Don't like playing in cold weather"? If you want to go pro,you have to learn to play in all weather
Man I forgot about him. Great video Matt!
Defensive coordinators are the best transition to QB development. You want to know how to beat defenses? Get with a genius on defense.. learn every look and get better.
The baseball hat says it all. He’s a geek at heart. Problems scoring a woman?? put on a wedding ring. They’ll beat a path to your door.
He didn’t start till his Junior Year because his high school is bigger than some colleges.
Billy Napier ended up at Louisiana for 2018 season, who was the original coach who recruited Blake to asu?
Chip Lindsay
Damn..whose the blonde at the 8:00 mark??
Tenn Vols fan here, but one of the greatest WR was by the name of Tyrone Prothro. The dude was legit. What ever happened to him?
He was. Working in banking and finance from what I heard
Phil Robertson threw away his career..the only reason Terry Bradshaw got a shot.
Why does it seem like Arizona State is always the school a guy either comes from or goes to. It’s like the school for 5 star rejects or 2 stars who turn into 5 stars later on
Money is rich, it’s just numbers. He didn’t have the passion to play for his life. He’s richer now than other QB’s in his time that are playing in the NFL, he’s got a family and kids and doing what he loves. Other people’s opinions of what he should be doing or is doing with his life is wrong. This kid made the decisions he made for himself and that’s it.
Man this kid would be on his 2nd contract right now. Making 40 million a year…….wow
Ok. Im creating him on CFB. Got my story line…
Just like with the young lady playing basketball, if his name would have been BlakQuan, nobody would have judged him as harshly. And half the sports reporters would have put him over and make excuses for him. People can lie or pretend. But it ain't fair and it ain't right!
we need the what happened to danny etling he fell of a cliff
Didn't he go to Purdue & transfer to an average on offense LSU team. I believe he was a late round draft choice & a career backup. Weak arm QB that could not run.
I thought it was ridiculous that he was rated as a 5 star with those throwing mechanics.
I said he would never be the starting QB for Alabama and I was almost right. He was the starter for one game.
He didn’t know it snowed in Indiana?
Sideways.
Matt it's USF not UCF. If you did say it correctly. My apologies.
Kinda reminds me of a taller Stetson Bennett
He got 7 snaps with a brand new o-line...
Canadian Labor Laws limit the number of foreign born players in the CFL, only 2 per team, not really a huge opportunity for American born players.
I’d say he left due to his family and he simply lost his passion for the game with those bad experiences.
Matt, why do so many quarterbacks transfer to and from Arizona State? We need to look at why they get these guys and can’t groom them to the next level🤔
Literally most pro football players don’t start till junior year
How dare he make a life decision for himself. You should be ashamed of yourself.
I can't imagine why a California kid would want to go to Alabama.
Matt be great at stealing videos. 🤣 That one got blurred so you just steal a whole interview from someone else. Lol is this one gonna get blurred too?
I would have to say that Matt wasn't in the club, so he wouldn't be signing a Faustian bargain. They need club members to do their rituals. Life is darker then we know about. Good for him because he wouldn't have to sacrifice any of his family, friends or pets. Plus he wouldn't be dying by the numbers.
Before this vid goes futher i just want to say "he quit to sell Pokemon cards!" lets see if im right
Uh Oh
Sunny 24/7??? You sure about that? If it's sunny for 24 consecutive hours I'm fairly certain that the temperature will not be 75°.
Mitch Mustain would be a good video
I want to try that BBQ
11:33 that narrative is getting flipped buddy
Could have been a IE LEGEND
So what happens when you make the NFL? They play in the cold. Are you going to sit out when you have to play in January at Lambeau Field? Or Foxborough? The “i don’t like cold weather” is a huggge red flag 🚩
I think it's kind of a bad thing to be the #1 ranked recuit. It just adds more pressure and you'll never ecxceed expectations. If you're the #6 player and you don't pan out, it's not that big of a deal, but if you're known as huge bust there's a bunch of youtube videos about you. Beingn in public in public must be awkward when you see the reaction in the peoples faces that they recognize as the #1 ranked player that was a bust
You saying Notre Dame isn’t a prestiges school like Ohio State is insane.
#MattbeMilky
Stop milking Matt
#MattbeMaladroit
"Threw his career away" 🥴🥴🥴
He just didnt keep pursuing it bc he didnt love it.
Pretty misleading title man
If Blake was any good and balled out, he would have started..
5/6 for 100 yards and a TD is not an 18.5 QBR, ESPN has the wrong numbers. In fact, Barnett was much better than Hurts in that game. See football reference for real stats.
I don’t want to play in the cold.
WEAK.
Decommitted is the weakest word ever even though it has become common. Failure to honor a commitment is called default, exposing a lack of integrity. Changing your mind is fine and good, but you do all that before you make a commitment or else you just lied. Sometimes you have to suck it up buttercup.
