The argument that if a person plays for UT then they are awesome is silly. Jump along with about 5-6 other guys should've never been on the field. If you want feel good stories go follow Wyoming, or UTC. This is Tennessee, we have high standards...
The "big eye" don't lie....the film always exposes players.
We went 4-8 last year because we had to play a bunch of guys that were CJ's caliber...
It's just extremely sad that many on here think CJ signing as a FA with the Saints validates him as a quality FB player...He's worked hard and has earned a shot....but every team invites these FAs to fall camp and very few actually make the team. It's just a fact of NFL life.
Nevertheless, I am glad that he will get a shot...and wish him the very best.
That young man was never supposed to be a day one starter, but kept getting tossed into the fire each and every year he was here when others were injured. He went out and gave 100% each and every time he was on the field. Was he perfect? Not at all, but there isn't a "perfect" player out there. But that young man never quit even when the chips were down.
He kept putting on that Power T and represented the team with dignity for all four years of his career. Maybe he makes an NFL team, maybe he doesn't. But the credit is due for giving his all for Tennessee.
And I dare one of you chowderheads that's never sniffed the field in a UT uniform to say otherwise.
Okay....maybe those who want to believe in his "talent" are looking for validation of their own opinions---in the same fashion as those who do not believe he is that good of a FB player are trying to validate their own opinion (like me).
I don't hate the kid, nor do I have any criticism of his effort. There's never been a doubt in my mind that CJ gave his all for Tennessee.
But his all just wasn't good enough for a SEC team--just like Kongbo, Kmac, Abernathy (see Fla loss), etc...etc...etc...
And that's just a fact that is underscored by the 4-8 record the team posted last year.
When you are a starting LB on a defensive team that gave up an average of 250+ yards rushing per game...you're just not a very good player...:blink:
Lets post the compilation of jumper getting toasted in coverage and missing half of his tackles
