What other accomplishments are out there for him?
BSmack wrote:It's his DURABILITY which still has some serious question marks. Question marks that will not be resolved until he plays a couple of seasons in the NFL.
Based on what again? I'm still not understanding what is making a RB who played 8 games in the NFL the best at his position. He is having a fantasic ROOKIE year but be sure to check back in about 3 years (after you're done genuflecting and massaging AP's testicles.)Dinsdale wrote: And he IS "the best." No ifs, ans, or buts.
Quantitatively, that would be the NFL statistics.jiminphilly wrote:Based on what again?
The fact that he's done the most damage of any RB in the NFL?I'm still not understanding what is making a RB who played 8 games in the NFL the best at his position.

Never injured the same body part twice?Dinsdale wrote:And btw-while dude has missed a few games in his college career, he has never suffered a "major" injury, and has never injured the same body part twice. The "injury-prone" label is so overexaggerated, it's not really a factor.
BSmack wrote:
So what you're saying is that he's brittle all around?
And had he stayed healthy...???Dinsdale wrote:Yeah, he's so brittle that after coming in as a third-stringer freshman a couple of games into the season, he set the record for most rushing yards by a freshman ever. After 3 short seasons, he's just barely behind Billy Sims and Joe Washington on the OU all-time list... just barely.

Out of retirement for one post to fucking RACK Dins.Dinsdale wrote:So, this is the part where you desperately spin after getting busted in a lie?
And yes, YOU might dismiss someone just on the basis of being a rookie. Those of us who A) follow the college game, and B) actually have a functioning eye for spotting superlative talent, wouldn't do anything so foolish based solely on calender age/NFL experience.
So, you weren't impressed. Dude just set a new standard by which single-game rushing performances will be judged... against your fucking team.
Fucking priceless. Way to "call your shot," bud... you're looking like a genius.
Next time I tell you to "shut the fuck up," you might wanna listen next time -- I wasn't kidding.
But go ahead and tell more lies to try and save face -- no, it looks good on YOU.

Check back with me when he puts together great back to back seasons.
When you start comparing him to somebody who has been doing it for six years and is 4th all time in rushing touchdowns, it makes you an idiot.

1. Eric Crouch- Far from being the multi-purpose threat Nebraska's hype machine advertised, Crouch demonstrated that his one real skill was being a multiple quitter. When a guy doesn't even try to play in the league, he's a bust. I don't care what system he played in college.Dinsdale wrote:Besides "system" and option QBs, care to name the Heisman winning "busts" over the last 20 years?
How did Cry Me A Rivers do his first year?mvscal wrote:2006 Troy Smith QB Ohio St: Drafted 5th round couldn't beat out Kyle Boller for 2nd string behind an ancient Steve McNair.
Actually, he's definitely "jury is still out" material, but is looking like a below-average pro(3.7 per... but the jury is still out)2005 Reggie Bush RB USC: Still early, but beginning to round into a solid pro.
"Jury is still out." To call someone a "bust" based on minimal playing time in Arizona just reeks of "spinning."2004 Matt Leinart QB USC: Bust. Was in the process of being benched in favor of a has-been who shits his pants and fumbles every time someone shouts BOO.
2003 Jason White QB Oklahoma: Who?
Maybe the light is coming on -- PAC10 QBs play in a "pro system," not a "college syatem" or traditional option. Non "system QB," NFL star.2002 Carson Palmer QB USC: Legitimate franchise QB
Option QB, running out of a Power-I. Care to list off all of the other Power-I QBs, or any Nebraska QBs who have made a mark on the NFL?2001 Eric Crouch QB Nebraska: Bust
FSU is something of a "system QB" team.2000 Chris Weinke QB Florida St: Bust
Or, "in year like 9 of an NFL career, and leading his team in rushing as the starting featureback."1999 Ron Dayne RB Wisconsin: Bust
Led the NFL in rushing yards? Pro Bowls? Ring any bells?1998 Ricky Williams RB Texas: Bust
Still starting as a DB on an NFL team(a top-rated one, at that), right? 10 years later? That's a "bust"?1997 Charles Woodson DB-WR Michigan: Decent player, but never came close to living up to the hype.
Are you fucking retarded?1996 Danny Wuerffel QB Florida: Just awful. I felt bad for his family.
Yup. Wasn't utilized correctly, but was a very good p[layer nonetheless.1995 Eddie George RB Ohio St: Great pro.
Already adressed -- health problems, and nothing to do with talent level (still holds some Bear records for rookies).1994 Rashan Salaam RB Colorado: Bust
Undersized, and again, gets into the "system QBs" at Florida State.1993 Charlie Ward QB Florida St: Didn't even play football
Also something of a "system QB." Not sure why you're struggling so badly with that concept, besides your complete lack of knowledge of the college game. System QBs are very rarely a good NFL choice.1992 Gino Torretta QB Miami-FL: Makes a living as a punchline.
1991 Desmond Howard WR Michigan: Bust with a capital 'B'
Gee, a "system QB"... at BYU? Color me :shocked:1990 Ty Detmer QB BYU: Career back up
You mean the guy they damn-near rewrote the definition of "system QB" for?1989 Andre Ware QB Houston: Bust
1988 Barry Sanders RB Oklahoma St: Great pro
HoFer, probably.1987 Tim Brown WR Notre Dame: Great pro
Still employed at 44. 'Nuff said. Oh, and there's those Pro Bowls and stuff.1986 Vinny Testaverde QB Miami-FL: Career journeyman
BSmack wrote: 1. Eric Crouch
OK, typed slowly...
OPTION QB.
Do I need to type that 50 more times? Option and system QBs were excluded in my original set of qualifiers.
I'd strongly suggest knowing what the fuck you're talking about before making such statements.
2. Chris Weinke- Absolute God awful failure in the NFL.
SYSTEM QB.
Sinking in yet?
Uhm... do you know what a "feature back" is?3. Ron Dayne- Contrary to what Dinsdale would have us believe, Ron Dayne has never, and will never be a "feature back" in the NFL.
Apparently not.
I'll help you out -- it's the guy who gets the most carries for a team. Like, say... Ron Dayne has by a wide margin this season.
Educate yourself... THEN start mashing "submit."
4. Rashaan Salaam- Had one good year and then couldn't avoid injuries or bongs. Bust.
So, we agree that it wasn't for lack of talent, and durability was the issue.
OK. You can just say "I agree" next time.
Because other Duh-U QBs did well in the NFL (not like Miami lacks for very high-level talent in recruiting), that means Miami has never employed a "sytem"?5. Gino Torretta- You cannot call a QB from a school that gave the NFL Vinnie Testaverde, Bernie Kosar and Jim Kelly a "system" QB. He's a bust.
Try the Logic Soup -- I hear it's excellent.
Newsflash, dumbass -- Miami had a revolving door of coaches during that era... tell me you knew? And those "systems" might have been different, or not traditional college "systems" of offense at all. Tell me you knew?
Moron.
Winnign a SB MVP and "bust" will NEVER go together.6. Desmond Howard- He was passed around the NFL like a groupie at a Motley Crue concert. Why? Because he was a lousy route runner. Had one good game. Lucky for him, it was in a Super Bowl.
7. Ty Detmer- BYU gave the NFL Steve Young and Jim McMahon. Not a system QB. Just a bust.
Dude... just. Stop.
BYU is very much a "system offense." No if's, an's, or but's.
VERY much a system school.
And your continued use of the Anti-Transative-Theory isn't going to change that.
Again, something of a "system QB," and dude weighs about a buck-eighty with a brick up his ass... was never a plausable NFL prospect. Again, not a lack of talent, but a lack of size.I'll give Charlie Ward a pass, since he was drafted by the Knicks back when that was a good thing for a baller's career. Even so, it was apparent that nobody in the NFL thought he'd make it.
So there's 7 out of 20 by your criteria. In reality, since 1986, only half of the Heisman winners have been worth a drop of piss in the NFL.
Too bad we're talking about the NFL. You know, the place where a Heisman Trophy winner has a 50% chance of sucking ass.Dinsdale wrote:Apparently, the one where people know the first fucking thing about college football.BSmack wrote:What the fuck planet are you posting from Dins?
You should try visiting sometime.
BSmack wrote:Too bad we're talking about the NFL.
mvscal wrote:Yeah but if you don't count all the guys who suck, Heisman winners have a great track record in the NFL.
Did you know that last week was Peterson's first 30 carry game in the NFL?Dinsdale wrote:Yes. You finally got something right.BSmack wrote:Too bad we're talking about the NFL.
Of course, it's the same NFL where myself and plenty of the other CFB posters called their shot loud and clear years ago about AD.
And we were right.
How much more is left to say? We were right, you doubters were wrong. EOS. Any further attempts at subject changing or spin are pretty futile at this point. I guess it just burns up the NFL diehards who don't follow college that those CFB guys knew more about something than they did. Funny shit.
