Alshon Jeffery next year?


Montsta

Recommended Posts

You guys all know way more about South Carolina football than I do, but Foxsports.com 'never too early' 2012 has us taking this guy 3rd overall next year.

I guess my question is whether or not he is a 'can't miss' WR ala AJ Green this year? My quick google said he is 6' 4" 230?? Wow. Would it be worth it to get maybe 5 wins and pick in the top 5 for this guy as this mock suggests? I'm not saying I want to win just five games but just wanted some insight to this guy.

I watch a lot of USC games b/c my girl is a fan and Alshon is the real deal. I haven't seen any team or player that could cover him in the SEC - and if he is covered he just jumps higher and catches it. He isn't a speedster, but he is tough to defend because of his size and has great hands.

No, as a Gamecock fan I can tell you, he's no Green. Green is one of those can't miss Calvin Johnson type WRs.

Alshon is a stud, and right up there near Green.

But not quite on the same level as him.

Very close though.

We'll see how much Alshon develops this season. Perhaps he could be by season's end. Watching him annihilate Alabama this past season was jolly good fun.

Besides, we won't be picking that high anyways.

with or without cam starting, we'll be winning about 7 games.

5 at best

I know this goes against the grain, but if we happen to lose a lot of games this upcoming year, I won't be too mad. We are setting up for the future and early picks will be very convenient. I don't foresee our win/loss record being any kind of tell tale sign of our future success.

    • Holy poo... we have allowed the fewest goals in the playoffs, total. Including the teams that lost in the first round... lmao
    • It was nothing. It was a nice run in an easy schedule that did nothing but lose us DJ Moore and a lot more. We were 2-15 in 2023. Based on your logic, that winning finish should have been a launching point. For as much as you want to say we shouldn’t have taken a risk, you still can’t admit that the plans we tankers laid out were proven correct. There’s no revisionist history. We said we should have traded Burns to the Rams. We said we should have sold off anything not bolted down like Brown and Horn and even Icky because they were in the 5 year plan. There is no disconnect, we tried to keep winning and draft a rookie QB and we lost about 4 1st round picks of value that could have been given to the guys you think might be the right crew.
    • You’re assuming Fitt still gets fired at the same time. That’s the problem with all these hypothetical hindsight thoughts. If we had a fire sale so to speak I’m not sure the GM gets fired a year or two later due to a bad roster and bad record. Fitt went into win now mode, made it seem like we were only a QB away “we won’t drafting this high again” trading picks for vets etc and when he couldn’t show results he was fired. I’m sure this was all mentioned in his GM interviews. What’s his plan to turn us around and how quickly can he do it. Also you want last year’s CMC and Burns on our roster? At their price? Moving on from both was the right call, with Burns being the wrong time. If a team does a full roster strip down rebuild it can buy the GM more time as long as everyone is on the same page.
