I jumped on the CG bandwagon this last couple of weeks due to what I was seeing out of Zac Lee.
I have jumped back off.. (you can ridicule me if you want)
The main thing that I want to go back to is when we recruited this guy.
I watched his HS film and what not, and honestly, I never saw anything that spectacular with his play. I didn't understand where all this man love was coming from.
I take some intangibles into account, and still didn't see a "winner".
Some guys are scrappy and just get it done. Others have superior gifts.
Others still have the heart.
Now, I do watch allot of film of recruits, and I didn't understand why this guy was so highly ranked or recruited.
CG is a decent runner, but not as good as Jammal Lord was.
CG is a decent passer, but not as good as Joe Ganz was.
So, in time, I've come to a conclusion on why CG was so highly ranked and recruited.
Physically, he is very mature beyond his years...
He was a Man playing HS football, solely out of his physical maturity as compared to 16, 17 & 18 year olds that he was facing in high school.
That's it.
He has great size, great maturity physically, but I don't think I've seen any intangibles during his film that would make me think he is a gamer or a tommie frazier or even a joe ganz...
I know some people are going to rip me a new one, but I'm just being honest with my assessment and I bet LTW is better at both running and passing than CG.
It's like good old Josh Freeman.. he had some skills, but was never a game changer, just had size.
I like Taylor Martinez and Tyler Gabbert's film much better.
Ok, rip away
