He deserves rookie of the year. Hunt looked like he had it in the bag, then Watson came along but got hurt eventually, and now it looks like Kamara might just run away with it. He's the most versatile back in the NFL.

Lets take a look at all those "wild" predictions I made about Alvin last year that have come true:

1. I was the only person ANYWHERE that said Alvin was the best RB in the 2017 NFL Draft. Almost everyone else was saying Fournette, Cook, and/or McCaffrey were better. Even most Vols fans. I would say I have been proven unequivocally right on this front.

2. I was the only person ANYWHERE that said Alvin would be the next Marshall Faulk and that he would gain 1,000 yards rushing and 1,000 yards receiving in the same season. Alvin is currently on pace for 800+ yards rushing and 800+ yards receiving as a rookie. Its obvious he's gonna reach that 1000/1000 threshold soon in his career. His production right now looks very much like Marshall Faulk.

3. And finally I'm sure I was the only person ANYWHERE that said Alvin Kamara was a Hall of Fame talent. If you look at the records Alvin is setting 3/4ths of the way through his rookie season, he looks like a future Hall of Famer.

I think its time I got credit for being the ONLY person ANYWHERE to see Alvin for what he truly was. And that is a once in a lifetime athlete.

Is Dobbs even starting yet?

You should quit while you’re ahead. This prediction came true (in year 1). And I’m glad it did because Kamara is a VFL.

How are your Charles Davis, Christian McCaffrey and Corey Davis predictions going?

If I'm this right about Alvin, who I had less confidence in than Dobbs, imagine how good Josh will be when he gets his chance?

Josh Dobbs will go down as the greatest player in NFL history.

Book it.

What?

I was high on Corey Davis. He's been battling a nagging hamstring injury since training camp.

I'm confident he's still gonna be a Hall of Fame caliber player. This year was just an unfortunate injury plauged season for him. He'll be fine moving forward.

Don't know who Charles Davis is in this context nor do I know what you're getting at with Christian McCaffrey. He's exactly what I thought he was. A nice gadget player that can catch the ball but doesn't have the size or physicality to be a 3-down back. McCaffrey looks like a specialty player like I predicted rather than an all-around back like Alvin (which I made a point of during the draft when people thought McCaffrey was better(.

I meant Charles Harris. McCaffrey has 6 TD’s all year. It’s decent but it’s not Marshall damn Faulk.

So Dobbs is winning 6 Super Bowls?

Don't know.

I think he'll go down as the best ever the same way Jordan did. Remember Jordan doesn't have more titles than Bill Russell or more MVPs than Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. Nonethess, he's widely considered the best ever.

Dobbs will win several Super Bowls, MVPs, and set many statistical records. However, he'll be considered the best ever in the same way Jordan is considered the best ever. He'll gain it by acclamation. People will see him so stuff nobody else has ever done before. Similar to how Jordan did things athletically that nobody has seen before on a basketball court. It's that captivating style of play along with team success that will make Dobbs the Michael Jordan of football.

Never said any point that Christian McCaffrey was Marshall Faulk. That was my comp for Alvin not McCaffrey.

And I will need to start watching Harris play some. He has been very disappointing thus far. Don't know why. But you are right I was very high on him. And will continue to be high on him.

“High” is a very appropriate word to use, regarding your posts.

You're also that wrong about Kelvin Taylor and many other players.

Just a suggestion which you can feel free to ignore and probably will. I think two reasons you often receive flak on VN is your too often portrayal of yourself as a football prophet. The other is when even marginally correct your too frequent "I told you" posts. That's just my take on the matter. That aside, I'm hoping Alvin with his shiftiness brings back memories of Gale Sayers. In a sense at least though nobody ran like Sayers in the mud. I would have said Barry Sanders but his style was more like a tornado that thought it was Chubby Checkers. Alvin's balance, slipperiness and side-stepping to avoid tackles is much more Sayeristic. all he needs is that shoulder shake Gale did at times and he'd nail the reincarnation of the bouncing Bear.

Kamara has not only talent and skills, but a likability and humility that is often missing in elite athletes. Damn glad to see him mentioned as playing at UT, but it's also a damn shame that almost every reference to his time here chimes in on his under utilization here.

I think Kamara has driven the nail in the coffin on this years ROTY award. Arguably the best RB in the NFL this year.
