Penn State "D", How good are they?

[deliverance]

Who was better in college? That's what this is about, COLLEGE. Not NFL. You get drafted by what you do in COLLEGE. ENOUGH SAID.

[The Ancient Enemy]

You just contridicted yourself.

[deliverance]

No, see I didn't contradict myself. You're just too stupid to realize what I was saying. LaVar Arrington got drafted at #2 because of how well he did in college. Poz will not get drafted near that high. He'll be lucky to be in the first round. He's not as good as LaVar.

[The Ancient Enemy]

Thought you just said that college is what we're discussing, not the NFL? You get drafted by what you do in college, right?

WHOOPS!

[deliverance]

Right, that's what I said. Good try, though. Compare who gets drafted higher. You get drafted because of what you do in college. LaVar did more. He was drafted 2nd. Poz will not go near that high.

[The Ancient Enemy]

Right. And that's exactly why Timmy Chang and Eric Crouch play in the NFL.

[frostlion]

Of the two I would say Lavar is ahead.

In a related point, I think what truly is an outrage is how very very little atttention Poz has gotten in the national media. All you have heard is "AJ Hawk is the greatest linebacker." BLAH BLAH BLAH and how OSU has the greatest trio in history. For someone like Poz who now has 3 consecutive Big 10 POW honors, and probably will get one or two more, its an outrage that he doesn't at least get mentioned as _one_ of the best in the country.

JoePa said today he'd be very surprised if he wasn't the best LB in the nation.

Hey deliverence, what about Matt Jones getting drafted in the first round, as a WIDE RECEIVER, when he played QUARTERBACK in college? Sure, he could run fast, but he had never played wide receiver before except at the one all american senior game. How could he get drafted on what he did at college? The NFL draft is only partially based on what you did in college. It's much more about how you perform at the combine, which is a measure of size, strength and speed. The NBA, for instance, drafts a 7 foot tall guy who did a little in college over a 6 foot guy who was his team's leading scorer and led them to the Sweet 16. It's all about potential at the pro level, not performance at the college level. Which reminds me, why was Carnell Williams, Ron Brown, and Cedric Benson all drafted so highly when a 2000 yard rusher (J.J. Arrington) fell to the second round. Sorry, you lose. It ISN'T all about performance.

[frostlion]

JoePA says that, not only because I think Poz is, but because he sorta has to.

Didn't you think Joe looked a little "younger" today at the PC?
