Kamara Showing Out

[Caleb59seal]

I think he just penciled himself in as a 1st rounder... Go get your money man... We are proud to be represented by you.

Honestly this is my thinking also...you can always find value RBs

The more I look at RB class, the more convinced I am I wouldn’t take one of these guys in the first round. They don’t decide games anymore.

Draft one in third. Beat him up. Run him into the ground. Let him go. Draft another. Cruel. So don’t let you sons grow up to be RBs

They don't decide games anymore???? This is the most retarded thing I've read all day and that's saying something.

Prisco's a bit over the top, but it is absolutely true that the position is devalued. Teams spend less and less on RBs every year, even though the cap keeps growing.

Devalued due to injury and it's not that hard to find a replacement. But to say that they don't decide games anymore is beyond stupid.

Kamara's combine performance tells us what about CBJ?


Oh yea, D4H is an buffoon..

 

[LittleVol]

More from Bucky Brooks...

Interesting observation... McCaffrey, Kamara and few others ran routes from the slot at the end of the RB workout. Both looked natural @ WR

I've said this same thing
Ad nauseam.

So many fans on here thought Kamara would be a 4th rd back at best!!

Unbelievable.

Anybody could see Kamara was special. Except our Head coach...

 

[MockingVol]

He was getting late 1st/early 2nd grades because scouts were banking on him doing better than an average of 4.59 in the 40. 40 matters too much for RBs for that not to hurt him. His jumps were awesome, but they aren't going to outweigh the 40 time. His bench press was also bad (which doesn't matter a ton, but still hurts).

Lol no

 

[Caleb59seal]

Dude was a game changer and we didn't get enough value out of him

Honestly... AK will be thanking us later for not using him as much... Those hits in college start taking a toll after awhile... Fornette can testify to that.... Or atleast will be able to in a couple of years... When he is getting piled up with injuries...

I am glad to see we have so many experts here on running backs. It's also amazing that so many people attend football practice every day to make sure the coaches get the right players in the game.

Kamara is a talent and a solid running back. He deserves everything that he can get. That doesn't mean the coaches played the wrong back. That means we had two great RB's. When Alvin got here he was a year behind Hurd in learning the system. It is a credit to Alvin that he was ready when his opportunity came. It is also a credit to the "idiot" coaches.

 

[Dobbs 4 Heisman]

He was caught from behikd on his big run at Florida in 2015, left sideline. He has excellent speed for a qb and he's an outstanding athlete in general. But let's not make him out to be Michael Vick here. I'm guessing he runs in the low 4.6s tomorrow.

No. He slowed down cause he was waiting for his blocks to develop. I forgot which receiver it was but guys were blocking down field for Dobbs while he was running. So he wasn't really caught from behind.

When a guy gets caught from behind its when he's totally clear and has a clear path to the end zone. Dobbs didn't have a clear path to the end zone. There were players in front of him.

 

[Dougie_D]

He's going to the Chargers. Book it

 

[Dobbs 4 Heisman]

I said no way in hell. I have been saying second round for a while now. I still think so. His 40 times did nothing to change my mind.

Did you think you were about to get a gotcha moment?

Well you're alone on the no chance at the first round since just about all the experts on TV have him going in the first round right now.

Whether its Mayock or McShay, they were saying he was a first rounder before the combine and they were saying it after the combine.

No one said anything but praise for Alvin Kamara yesterday.

 

[dcm3w]

No. Butch Jones is just stupid.

Remember it took injuries for Dobbs to also see the field.

Worley was a better passer but him being on his back constantly allowed Dobbs to show his talent.

 

[Dobbs 4 Heisman]

Prisco's a bit over the top, but it is absolutely true that the position is devalued. Teams spend less and less on RBs every year, even though the cap keeps growing.

And yet 4 RBs are projected to go in the first round this year and if not for Mixon's off-field issues he would have made it 5. Mike Mayock said he had a first round grade on him as well.

I said last year that 4-5 RBs would go in the first round and folks laughed at me. Now its looking like it'll be reality. Even though the names will be different than what I originally thought.

2017 RB class is one of the most talented ever.

I was the first guy to say Alvin would be a first round pick.

I was also the first guy to say last year that 4-5 RBs would go in the first round.

When I said both these statements people also said I was stupid/crazy. And now its looking like reality.

 

[Dobbs 4 Heisman]

Statistically that is not true. Dobbs has better passing numbers across the board. Whether its completion percentage, yards per pass attempt, TD to INT ratio, oe QB rating. Dobbs outclasses Worley by a significant margin.

There is no objective truth to this myth that Worley was a better passer. None. And people need to stop saying it cause it has no proof behind it.

Just check out the stats:

Not even close.

You wish.

Kamara is a first rounder. And better than your boy Derrick Henry.

Sit down son. You're done.

All credibility has been lost in this thread. After he didn't run the 4.3 40, i see a bunch of excuses and redirection.

You're comparing stats that are diluted with different Vol teams. Dobbs is a better quarterback but because he was mobile, you will see better stats. There was no way any pocket passer could have sat behind that line without putting mediocre numbers. Also, 2013 and 2014 is all I'm going to look at. Oh wow, Josh had 2 TD and 6 INTs? Then 9 and 6 the next year... So Eliteeee

LOL @ comparing Dobbs as a true freshmen to Worley as a redshirt junior.

We're talking about who should have been a starter going into 2014.

Dobbs was clearly better in 2014. He performed better during the spring game. And when he finally got his chance against Alabama he proved to be much better.

You're reaching bro. Nothing in those numbers suggest Worley was anywhere close to the passer Dobbs was.

Says the guy who said "all elite RBs dominate in the NFL year one."

In that matter, if Dobbs was so talented, he should have been phenomenal but he wasn't. He was an average passer, and a gifted runner. Give up trying to hold on to your claims.

Do you even see your biasness? It's quite amazing.

Are you seriously going to compare the transition from QB at one level of football to another with RB? Seriously?

If that is your argument then just quit already cause you lost.

Why is it dumb when your comparisons are outrageous?

Sorry, let me make a comparison to your level. Worley was hindered by Butch's play calling. He would have been a 5,000 passer under a real coach. He didn't get drafted because the scouts don't see talent like i do. If he would have gotten an NFL start on a play off team, he would be the next Tom Brady. I like that comparison, Worley and Brady.

 

[Orange_Vol1321]

I'm all for hating on Bama fans....but no way can you regulate someone posting on a rivals board who is well within rules. I suggest you just get over it

I don't think rivals have no buisness in this paticular forum putting down our coach, players and team.

We have enough Bama fans on here with Vol names doing that. I do give him credit for keeping his true name while doing it.

Did you think you were about to get a gotcha moment?

So every NFL expert says he is looking like the #1 RB but you still think 2cd round? Does that mean you think Cook, Fournette ect will be behind him in the 2cd round also?

But you don't care, right? After all, you said you don't take this stuff too seriously. Or is that only true when your wild predictions don't come to fruition? Instead of just taking your licks like a man, you try and justify and rationalize your irrational claims like a chump.

And this is why no one takes you seriously.
