NFL talent doesn’t imply college prowess, nor the reverse

This, I agree with.

Suh, I’m sorry, cannot be the best player because he wasn’t as devastating for his defense as Harvin would have been on a similarly skilled offense.

This, I do not. If Percy Harvin played on an offense where the other 10 guys were as useless as the rest of Nebraska’s D was last season, I don’t think he would have been nearly as impactful.

True and fair, but NFL talent doesn’t imply college prowess, nor the reverse. And Suh, I’m sorry, cannot be the best player because he wasn’t as devastating for his defense as Harvin would have been on a similarly skilled offense.

Think of it in baseball terms: Harvin’s VORP would be higher, and because skill players on offense are more important in college (less concentrated talent means a few studs are that much better than their competition), that’s an even bigger edge to Harvin.

Also: Why didn’t we think of Crabtree? He fits.

i actually agree with this but as an individual, not taking into account the fact that nebraska’s other 10 guys on D were atrocious, suh was as devastating a player in the middle since dorsey was at LSU.

crabtree should’ve been on there.

Ole Miss isn’t on the schedule. So, yeah, I’m sure.

a gambler!

(since i hate florida, gotta admit i wasn’t up on their schedule).

Really? Well, maybe because the other 10 guys were not very good. Since when does one DT make an ENTIRE defense?

What he said. No Huskers fan here, but Suh will be a Top 5 pick next year. Too bad Denver traded away their own first rounder.

Nebraska’s defense as a whole so terrible if they were possessed of such a demon up front

they lost andre smith? dez bryant? tim tebow? beanie wells? ndomonkun suh?

all were better/more important than percy.

In order: Maybe, no, no, no, why was Nebraska’s defense as a whole so terrible if they were possessed of such a demon up front? And it’s not about importance, which is why I wrote best.

Look, Harvin was Reggie Bush in orange and blue from a production standpoint. At 75-80% in the BCS title game, he was the best player on the field.

That’s enough for me.

you sure you are not confusing starkville with oxford, you know, ole miss? mississippi state is going to be BREW-TAL this year. horrible. florida isn’t losing that game either.

Ole Miss isn’t on the schedule. So, yeah, I’m sure.

Bringing up MSU was a ‘uge stretch.

Have you seen Florida’s schedule? You have to stretch. A loss at home to an up-and-down Ole Miss team was also a stretch.
