Nebfanatic Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Julio Jones Danny Amendola Who has the Superbowl Ring? It is not about the talent, It is what you do with it. One has the GOAT QB and the other doesn't. The NFL is a QB driven league. yea agreed here you can't just cherry pick players like that. Obviously the Falcons saw alot of success this season in large part due to the talent of Julio Jones and I think he proved in the super bowl he is the best out there right now. Just because the Falcons didn't win doesn't mean the Patriots would rather have Amendola than Jones. I don't think the Falcons lost due to their misuse of Jones nor did the Patriots win because of their stellar use of Amendola Quote Link to comment
Hunter94 Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Just saying national championships is not a metric we should be using for program success. Winning the big 10 doesn't even guarantee a shot at the playoff. We could go on an amazing run and not actually win a single national championship. we are f'ing light years from a NC.........and we all know it. this team still needs the right coaches and more quality recruits.......we don't have either, we just don't. It's OK to see the reality and hope we improve. 2 Quote Link to comment

Enhance Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Julio Jones Danny Amendola Who has the Superbowl Ring? It is not about the talent, It is what you do with it. That's like comparing the gearbox in a STI to the clutch in a Veyron. They're both critical components but nobody would confuse the overall products. It's about talent AND what you do with it. 1 Quote Link to comment

Guy Chamberlin Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 I think the level of hope, reality and expectation are about right. Hope is free, and it's not totally unfounded, so I think I'll run with it for the off-season. Quote Link to comment
dvdcrr Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 Do you think the Patriots would trade Amendola for Jones? Maybe. but they just won the Superbowl without him, in fact without anyone like him. They have been doing this for years. It is about buy-in, development and who wants it more. The Patriots often check down to high percentage throws to smallish hard working guys with good hands. Apparently that is pretty effective. SO it is NOT all about talent on your roster. You need a certain modicum of course, but beyond that...the real key is leadership. And having one or two studs don't hurt... Quote Link to comment

Making Chimichangas Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 Average rating for years 2, 3, 4 is 30 for NU. Better metric imo. Nearly the same though. '13 class will contribute jack to the team this year. 17 class will contribute forced into action players. Let's hope some turn into veterans quickly. 3-2 record, perhaps even 2-3, vs Oregon, Wisky, NW, Iowa and bowl....should get NU rated at seasons end. Won't be easy but very possible. The part in green...that's because just about all of them have either exhausted their eligibility or transferred out. According to my count, there are literally only 2 players left on the team from that recruiting class, and they're redshirt seniors. [David Knevel and Boaz Joseph] So technically you're right, but not for the reason you're implying. Quote Link to comment
