Aston Jeanty is crazy overrated

For the record, I don't think Jeanty is "crazy overrated". I just don't think there's much if any gap between Jeanty and Hampton and if you like your RBs to double as receiving threats you might actually prefer Hampton. I think they're both legit 1st round RB prospects which translates to elite RB prospects in the modern NFL

This dude is a 5’9 RB that is 215?  And doesn’t have a blazing 40 to his name?  And played against inferior comp at Boise State?  Any team taking him over Omarion Hampton is nuts but in the first round is just not smart.  He will get hurt consistently at that size.  Someone explain this to me.

I haven't researched him at all, but I will say that 5'9" and 215 sounds like a load. I don't get why you'd say, "He will get hurt consistently at that size." In fact the dude everyone wants us to get is 5'10" and 219, with a decidedly more physical running style I might add, but I'd say that the guys may be shorter, but they aren't slight.

He's 6 lbs lighter than Hampton but also almost 3 inches shorter so the same comparable build. Dude is just being a homer because the logic he's using isn't there.

We'll know who RB1 is in a few years.

I just find it funny how State fans come running to talk poo about how UNC fans always do something any time anything UNC is mentioned. Oddly, I don't recall any UNC fans shitting on Icky as a prospect because of where he went to school or mentioning his college team when he's looking like a turnstile in pass pro. The inferiority complex is just annoying.

Are any Carolina fans talking crap about any State prospects this year? I wouldn't mind at all to draft Belton in the mid-rounds. I don't give a poo where a guy went to school. If he went to UNC, great. But that's just icing on the cake.

He looked very ordinary against the one good defense he played against.

Maybe for casual fans that only watched him during the CFP.

Folks that paid attention though saw what he did vs. Oregon early in the season and knew it was gonna be a wild run.

Do you want to die on that hill?

And what is "inferior"? How "inferior" is the Mountain West to the ACC, really? There isn't as big of a gap as ESPN would like for you to believe. You also have to remember that he is playing behind a Boise State offensive line. He isn't playing behind Georgia's line in the Mountain West.

So what you call "inferior", I call a level playing field. If he was just another dude who beat up on smaller schools, he wouldn't be considered to be drafted where he is.

Oregon was completely exposed as a fraud in the playoff.  Do better

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      By TheSpecialJuan · Posted

      Jeremy Fowler draft intel on the Panthers: “Carolina was high on Proctor. If he somehow slipped to 19, he was a viable option.” “Caleb Lomu was on the Panthers short list too.” “Panthers weren’t totally comfortable with Stowers there at 49.”   https://x.com/panthersontap/status/2049827264972353727?s=46&t=xeIgh_-Vr2aKxBkBJdfnKA

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      No saying he mostly sucks is saying that he doesn’t suck the minority of the time.   Like if he took 17 tests and had a couple of really good showings and a handful of pretty good scores sprinkled in among the typical sub par results.   Like a golfer who went out and shot an 89.  There will be some real nice shots sprinkled in there but at the end of the day it is still 89.

      It's worth mentioning... Game 1: Oct 11 in Raleigh. 4-3 OT win with a complete starting lineup. Game 2: Dec 13 in Philly. 4-3 SO win without Jaccob Slavin. Game 3: Dec 14 in Raleigh. 3-2 SO win with a complete starting lineup. Game 4: Apr 13 in Philly. 3-2 SO loss with the AHL roster.  Those early season games were no indication of the Canes team that finished the season. Miller and Ehlers were still trying to figure things out, Nikishin was still a work in progress and the Stankoven line was just another line. Make no mistake, the Canes team Philly will see is nothing close to what they saw at any point in the season. If the top line starts producing, Freddie stays hot and the blue line does what it does, this could be a sweep as well.
