I dont mind FSU as of late, and I like Fisher as a coach. THe biggest thing for me though is taking it away from the the SEC.
I hate FSU and everything about them, but I'd love to see #GoACC take the crystal ball away from the $EC
I have amended an old phrase - "Close enough is only good enough in horseshoes, hand grenades, and Johnny Manziel's throwing arm when Mike Evans is on the field." The kid's a hell of an athlete, but his receiving crew, especially Evans, made him look a hell of a lot better.
This makes no sense whatsoever. If he gets drafted in the 3rd or 4th round, it won't be for the purpose of being converted to TE. No one is going to waste a 3rd/4th round pick for the sole purpose of taking a flyer on converting a guy to play TE who's spent the last 7 years playing QB and has never played a down of TE in his life.
If he gets drafted that high (and I think he will), it'll be because someone think's he can be a QB and he's going to get ample opportunity to do so. If he goes in the 7th round or undrafted (and I don't think that's likely), then I could see a GM thinking we might have a QB or we might have something else -- let's find out.
There are dozens upon dozens of guys who people say would be a better fit at "x" in the NFL, but rarely does that work (and I don't mean being moved from T to G or FS to SS). The NFL simply doesn't have the time for a guy to develop an entirely new skill set -- in their 20s -- after spending years refining their motor skills, reflexes, and body toward a different skill set. Just watch Hard Knocks...there's always 1 or 2 guys trying to stick in the NFL by moving from, say, TE or LB to FB -- and they generally struggle.
That's a little bit much, I think. Manziel was great against Duke, but lets keep in mind the relative scores of the Duke games when comparing FSU and T A&M - FSU did not HAVE to score 52 points to win, otherwise, I think they could have. That game was just over by halftime.
As for the Vick comparison... pump the brakes. Manziel is exciting and dynamic, but he's not really anything like Vick. His arm isn't as strong, and he's not nearly as much of a home-run threat. They're totally different players. A better comparison might be Archie Manning at Ole Miss.
It wouldn't shock if Manziel succeeds in the NFL, but it wouldn't shock me if he didn't either. I imagine we'll see what the NFL decision makers think of him in a few months, I guess, but I'd be surprised if he was in the upper half of the first round.
It saved me the trouble of posting a thread myself, so thank you.
I saw the 45 he put up before his defense came in to save the day with 2 picks.
This is a big-bodied kid, his frame reminds me of Marcus Davis. Sitting at 180 lbs, he too, like Andrew Ford, has tremendous upside. 2 years in Gentry's program and he could be a legitimate deep threat over the top. Regardless of position, you have to feel great about the direction of our program. We are competing in living rooms like we haven't seen in 4 or 5 years...our staff is hungry! Gobble-gobble.
BTW, Joe, if this was a no no sorry
Down-voted for expressing my opinion by agreeing with another poster's opinion.... umm confused?
Broncos already have a tall back up.
It might be a contingency plan if Ford doesn't work out, it might be a double contingency plan if Harrison doesn't work out.
that makes no sense...that's like saying VT is completely uninterested in him..I doubt that
If the edmunds brothers can be half as good as them then we have something great to look forward to in the next 5 or more years
Talent is an attribute that gets you there, skill is something has to her developed to keep you there. Stars can't measure a persons heart, or will to win or work ethic.
Haven't we already gotten commits from enough WRs (Harrison, Phillips, Bradshaw, Holland & possibly Ford & McMillian if he doesn't pan out at QB)?
I think this guy is "considering" Virginia Tech the same way I'm considering taking Jessica Alba to a nice seafood dinner and calling her afterwards.
I meant just in physical traits. And Logan also never crashed a motorcycle without wearing a helmet. Bonus points.
*sigh* ok, let's say we won the NCG like that. THEN, he'd be happy with 5 passing yards.
No, he wouldn't like that.
It means the passing game is a comedy and the opposing team can sell out on the run next game.
Million dollar question (ok, maybe not a million, but probably worth a solid $600,000) right there. For the last couple days I've considered asking him on Twitter. I guess we'll see in a couple months.
Is RVD still projected at Whip or are they thinking of moving him inside?
With the O recruits we might be getting, we'll win in 2015 by not having to lean on the D as much.
Perhaps even the Sum of All Interceptions. Combined, the Fuller brothers have 20 INTs in their careers. Given that Kendall had as many this past season (6) as Kyle did in his career, clearly he is on an exponential trajectory. In three years, he will need to get 99 picks, but for The Final Fuller*, this should be a simple task. Our opponents won't be scoring at all by 2016.
* Of this generation
He wasn't playing because for the first time in his career he got hurt, healed then got hurt again.
