Actually, it's not because had it not been for Washington making the bet with Stallworth who would go higher when Washington declared before him, Stallworth would have been here his senior year.

There may have been something going on with the decision to declare for the draft or not, but would you really want a kid to play his Senior year after knowing he had become a top 10 NFL draft pick? Getting "confused" by Kelley Washington was probably worth millions to Stallworth.

Nope, just not willing to throw him under the bus or be real critical of him when we have had issues for years before he ever stepped foot on campus. Nice try though.

Nice try? Know this, I drop more knowledge, rational thought, and forecasting in one post than you do in 20.

So because you have a name like "Business" and a Rodney Dangerfield avatar that makes you more knowledgeable than someone else on here. Get real, go get in a pissing match with someone that actually cares. If you want to argue intelligence on a message board, then you have some self-esteem issues.

True, his ceiling had been met in his Jr. year. And Stallworth had the last laugh ultimately.

I think he, as a collegiate athlete, finds it funny that you are offering up all these posts about learning valuable lessons in sports.

Honestly, looking at how bad the 2002 team ended up being, Stallworth would have made us a little better, but the season would have made his draft stock a lot worse.

No, just saying if I had an obsession with a coach and protected him in every post I made, I would at least make my motives known.

So that has to do with learning valuable lessons in sports?? Also, him being an athlete in college makes him more knowledgeable than people on this board is an extremely bad one to be having on a message board.

Damn, even straight talk around here gets taken and twisted so others can make their points look stronger. What? You want me to say he's a horrible coach and should have stayed in D2?? I am far from protecting him, but his bubble of forgiveness is far bigger than Fulmer's. Hey if you have a problem with Clawson, then look to the man that hired him. Fulmer only hires people he can control or trust. See Sanders, Cutcliffe, and now Clawson.

Eric, calm down. I was just offering you a little competition. Giving you some experience in the arena.

Who's job is it to have the offensive unit ready on Saturday?

I haven't twisted it, I have taken what I see the context is and commented on that. I haven't said anything about anything else other than what I perceive to be self absorbing comments that are neither good for him or benefit this team. If that's twisting, I apologize. I will refrain for commenting on them again. :hi:

Fulmer's then Clawson's. That's the pecking order I see right now.

Really?? So that's why the year he proclaimed himself "The future" he only had 443 yards receiving?? He also SCREWED Donte' Stallworth and he couldn't get out of the draft like Washington did. Remember that?? Yeah, backed it up alright.
Click to expand...

He had those 443 yards receiving in 4 games, averaging just over 110 yards per game. He only had less than 100 yards once, and that was in the game in which he was hurt.

Also, I don't really believe Donte made a life changing decision based on a dare, or even a double dare.

To have them both back the next year would have been fabulous.

Hindsight is 20/20, but that's why we reflect at the past and wonder what could have been. I don't do it often, but part of the reason Washington had the season he did was largely due to Stallworth drawing double teams the majority of the season.

Therefore, you don't think the out of sync ways of the offense (e.g. False Starts, Delay of games, ill taken timeouts, etc) has anything to do with Clawson? It all has to do with Fulmer?

I'd say that when Washington set the single game receiving record for a UT player in his third game that that excuse really went out the window. The fact that Kelley's success continued with an inexperienced Tony Brown (no chance he's drawing a double team) on the other side of the field also crushes that argument.

We had a new injury every day of the 2002 season. I criticize Fulmer a lot for how the team played then, but he was in a pretty horrible situation.

If Clawson has to be the one calling for all the discipline, then I guess it's his fault. I also think that the positional coaches have to be blamed just as much if your handing it out. Greg Adkins is definitely looking rough right now.

That was such a tough time. I did feel bad for Fulmer then.

Fabulous for us as fans . . . Donte probably felt OK with the 7 figure income though.

The way things went in 2002, I'm not sure it would have mattered.

Ehhhh.....You know what we suck. Everyone from the head man to the Locker Room managers just isn't making it happen.
