Prospect Analysis...Cooper Taylor

[Techbert]

Yet again you all are missing my point. He was a good NCAA S. He wasn't NFL material like our recent S's. Therefore he would be a step back to what we have had the last few years.

Why is that?

Was Joe Hamilton a step back from Rick Strom?

We are recruiting and training college football players. It does not matter one iota how well their game translates to the pros.

Or should we cast aside extremely productive NCAA players in search of someone who will be a better professional football player three years after they graduate?

I am hoping he is better. Jeremy is a full one step back from what we have had at the S position (both) the last 5 years (our SS and FS aren't true FS and SS, we rotate the two alot...)

Butler -> NFL
Landry -> NFL
Lewis -> will be NFL
Jones -> could be NFL but better than Jeremy IMO

Jeremy was a good kid, but missed a boat load of tackles and made a lot too; but was never good in pass coverage. We got torched deep so often b/c our S were out of position or not athletic enough to hang with the WRs or TE.

My point is...I just hope coop is better.

33, here's a suggestion. If you had simply said, "I think Coop is better than Muyres" no one would be complaining. Just saying.

Oh BTW, when JM played in the ACC there were 3 maybe 4 good teams. GT, FSU, clemson was up and down and UVA.

There might have been one team in the ACC last year that could be qualified as good.

Now, the talent pool for all-acc is so deep; to me all-acc back then means little compared to now.

How many of you think JM would be all-acc today if he played? Heck, he wouldn't even start on our team....

Muyres was without a doubt better than a certain safety on last year's team, speaking of the inability to tackle.

I'd take another Muyers in a second. Is he better or worse than Butler? Who gives a rat's rear? Muyers was clearly awesome, and awesome is good enough for me.

would be very happy with 'awesome' at every position, whether or not 'awesome' equates to 'nfl' or not

If I remember correctly, Spurrier (while at UF) said that they beat Georgia so often because Georgia recruits great NFL players, while Florida recruits great college players.

1-There might have been one team in the ACC last year that could be qualified as good.

2-Muyres was without a doubt better than a certain safety on last year's team, speaking of the inability to tackle.

1-There were many good teams and no great team.

2-Are you referring to the one who injured his shoulder?
