The Blue Board

Ok, lets change the game

What is the best position player your state tends to produce?

Better?

Then Alabama should be the answer. 3 BCS titles in a row leaves no doubt.

I don't drink. Outside of Pouncey(who was born in Oklahoma), there isn't a current NFL or college OLineman from Florida who is starting or seeing significant time on the California or Texas teams. Currently UF, FSU, and Miami have absolutely deplorable offensive lines and the one halfway decent QB between the three is from Virginia. USC alone has a top 3(nationally) QB and OL, not to mention pretty decent skill players(all from California). Outside of Seantrel Henderson(from Minnesota), is there a single player on offense from any of the Florida Big 3 who is seeing the field at USC?

QB? would you like Aaron Rodgers, Tom Brady, Matt Barkley, Drew Brees, Andrew Luck, RGIII or....? Don't know about you, but I like my football teams to have a QB and offensive line. The discrepancy between Cal/Tex and Florida in QB/OL talent is way way way way way way way bigger than the discrepancy between Florida and Cal/Tex skill position talent.

For 2011

California University:

QB - Andrew Luck - Stanford
RB - Curtis McNeal - USC
TE - Colby Fleener - Stanford
OL - Matt Kalil - USC
OL - David DeCastro - Stanford
OL - Khaled Holmes - USC
OL - Mitchell Schwartz - Cal
OL - Jonathan Martin - Stanford
WR - Robert Woods - USC
WR - Marqise Lee - USC
WR - Keenan Allen - Cal

DE - Nick Perry - USC
DT - Aaron Tipoti - Cal
DT - George Uko - USC
DE - Ben Gardner - Stanford
LB - Mychael Kendricks - Cal
LB - Chase Thomas - Stanford
LB - Dion Bailey - USC
CB - Isiah Wiley - USC
S - TJ McDonald - USC
S - Delano Howell - Stanford
CB - Nickell Robey - USC

I can respect that answer.

I will get back to you on that one though. I need to do some research.

I feel its unsafe to post unfactual info when drunk.

Right forgot about Tipoti, but I think Uko is better than Juicy right now.

Thanks.

Crazy how offensive heavy that squad is though.

Lmao only if you give us Timmy J in return Andrew.

Owa is a bust as of now. If Datone Jones doesn't get injured, he is the one replacing Horton.

California

This is what I was thinking as well. Also the team has to be coached to win. Texas would have problems as well as Florida.

You're asking for at best a push. The real determinant is who's doing the coaching. If your answer isn't Bama, I'd like to hear your argument vs. Saban + talent.

No, no its not. I'd like to see how your defense is going to stop Andrew Luck going Peyton Manning on Saban's defense at the LOS, then throwing to three 1st round WR's and a 1st round TE behind a wall of 1st round offensive linemen. What are you going to press and play man? Cloud like Luck won't read your safeties? Play eight in the box? Disguise your blitzes?

That offense doesn't need a coach when Luck reads your defense on every play. Luck was created by the best coach in CFB bar none in Jim Harbaugh, and if you think Saban is better than him you are out of your mind.

What is AJ McCaron going to shred the secondary? Lmao your best offensive weapon is a running back, which is dime a dozen. You can find RB's anywhere.

Saban's coaching would be immensely degraded if we disallowed him over signing the best players from OOS.

This simulation eliminates recruiting.
