Yeah, I got to see Jeudy do it, and I guess I just never had the opportunity to see Cooper do it live (i only went to two games) or in his HL tape. I heard all the people telling me he was godlike in his routes. Either way, I've been eating that **** call for like a decade. I have some other pretty bad ones, too:Yea kid was a technician as a route runner early on...just like Jerry Jeudy...that wasnt Bama coaching. Those 2 came in to Bama with those route running abilities.
The thought process i got what were saying..a kid with his size and speed...being coached up at db by saban would have made it into the nfl as well.
- thought E. Clements was going to be better and he couldn't put it together
- thought Yearby was going to be better and he was closer to his ceiling than I imagined
- thought Matthew Thomas was going to be significantly better - still unsure what happened there
- thought JoJo Nicholas could have been an NFLer, and that didn't pan out
- Isidora and Darling underperformed my expectations
And more, I'm sure.
No shortage of **** calls over here. If you're evaluating 16-18 year old kids and commenting on a lot of them in terms of degrees (for instance, I admitted everywhere Cooper was a top athlete, but hadn't seen what others were seeing), there are gonna be some ugly takes. All in the hobby.
