I agree that Samuels was a better performer. But Andre, motivation issues aside, had more talent. He just didn't do nearly as much with his physical blessings as he could and should have.I would have to say that Chris Samuels was more talented than Smith ever had potential to be.

Man you sure are hung up on Bo Jackson and making something of Coach Bryant's age (or as you refer - someone's age) Funny thing is Coach Bryant continued coaching after your hero went to Farmville.We lost out on the person who could have been the BEST All-Time Tider: Bo Jackson. I'll blame that on Pat Dye for taking advantage of someone's age! Bo used to KNOW everything, including football. I can still see him walking sideways on that outfield wall parallel to the planet Earth.
Please Football Season come quickly! These threads are messing up my mind.
Calvin Culliver is from my hometown of Brewton, All. Calvin star is still shining bright, I would add Walter Lewis to that list, another hometown boy.Impossible question but I'll go by decades..again, physical skills only. That doesn't mean best football player.
60's-Namath, with Stabler a close second. Before his knee injury Joe Willie could run like a deer, and I've never seen a better combination of strong arm with a quick release.
70's- Calvin Culliver. He was almost Bo like in build and ran a sub ten second hundred yard dash.
As a wishbone fullback he had two TD runs of over 80 yards against Maryland and left everyone wondering where he went. Awesome physical specimen. E.J. Junior wasn't too shabby either.
80's-Derrick...no doubt about it
90's- Crazy choice but since we're talking strictly physical skills I'll go with Antonio London.
He was that 6'4 220 freak who could run like the wind but still be strong enough to play defensive end.
2000-2010--Julio
2010-present-Ya ready? Chris Black
There ya go...
They were both really good! sipCalvin Culliver is from my hometown of Brewton, All. Calvin star is still shining bright, I would add Walter Lewis to that list, another hometown boy.
I said Harry Gilmer earlier, but I had a brain fart and forgot Hutson.Don Hutson should be on any list.

Julio is a great example, he could do so many things well.Julio Jones or Derrick Thomas based on how many different positions on the field the could line and play and do so at a high level. Julio could play WR, CB, S, bulk up and play LB or H-back. DR could play LB, DE, TE, FB, slim down and possibly play RB and S too.
As a student, I enjoyed springs at the Rec Center, when the senior football players were released to play basketball. Biscuit had speed that was startling to see up close, and his dunks were vicious.I walked in to Foster one evening and saw some guys playing. One guy posterized Reggie King. It was Ozzie Newsome.
Hutson was a multi sport star.Don Hutson should be on any list.
