I made a similar meme to this last football season. It was a play on the faces of Vader meme.
This just made me even more ready for the season. It can't get here fast enough.Peyton offers tips to Jalen.
Yea, I didn't mean to knock him for it just that it's something he needs to work on. From the above it sounds like he has been really working on his footwork which sounds promising.Yup..That was expected playing a TF QB..Hopefully that won't happen with the experience he gained as starter last year..
Wait, dude asked him about Sarkisian? Goodness...
There are a few other factors that go into things, but this is main one. What was the competition for the position rankings in that given year? I like to use the 2010 recruiting class as the best example. We all loved getting Phillip Simms because he was highly ranked for his position. Turns out, the majority of that QB class was hot garbage.Krazy - you're not wrong but each class is compared only against that years available talent. The Bateman/Cornwell/Barnett comparisons don't hold up.

I understand the point in respect to other quarterbacks, but when ESPN says there were 60 other senior high schoolers in the state of Texas better than him, that's just way off the mark. To get back to Bateman, ESPN had him 44th in the entire country! So yeah you can say sure talent is better overall one year vs the next, but when they say Hurts is 61st in his state and Bateman is 44th in the country, that's heck of a wide margin between the two (when if anything the inverse is true). It wasn't just that they didn't have Hurts as the top QB or anything, that's understandable. No one had him as a top 100 player at all (Bateman, Barnett, and Cornwell were all top 100 overall by at least one service).Krazy - you're not wrong but each class is compared only against that years available talent.

I think its fair at this point that almost everyone missed on Hurts. I know it can vary for each service/scout/style but I always assumed 5 stars were supposed to be immediate impact starters. Hurts certainly fits that description.I understand the point in respect to other quarterbacks, but when ESPN says there were 60 other senior high schoolers in the state of Texas better than him, that's just way off the mark.

You can say that again. I`d be surprised if someone hasn`t been in his ear regarding a transfer. That kid can tote the rock.That said, I do think Jacobs is the bigger miss. Dude is a star and if it wasn't for the incredible depth we have at RB the whole country would know it.
To be fair, I'm pretty sure his high school coach didn't do much publicizing until around December, which is why he was so under the radar. If a coach doesn't send out film on a guy and the player doesn't attend many camps, recruiting services won't know about him.That said, I do think Jacobs is the bigger miss.

True ... I'm just glad both are playing for the TideTo be fair, I'm pretty sure his high school coach didn't do much publicizing until around December, which is why he was so under the radar.

I have a sneaking suspicion Daboll has a sizable roll for him in his offense. The patriots have always been creative with their RBs and Jacobs is a versatile guy. I would like to see him getting reps in the slot so he can become a good route runner as well. He might fit the Lewis role to Bo's Blount role.You can say that again.

Good point. We are lucky to have found him. And to think, OU could have really used him with the departure of Perine & MixonTo be fair, I'm pretty sure his high school coach didn't do much publicizing until around December, which is why he was so under the radar.

Yep, RB James White had 10 catches in the Super Bowl and Jacobs had several catches in the spring game including the catch and run that set-up the game winning FG for the Crimson. He will get some carries but he will really be unleashed with catches matched up against LB's in the open field and they will have no chance with him.I have a sneaking suspicion Daboll has a sizable roll for him in his offense.

Also, saw a PFF stat showing that Jacobs and Bo ranked 1 and 4 respectively in their elusive rating last year.

I laughed.That would be like me being a counselor at a camp for fat out of shape adults.
