As much as Crawford has gotten called for PI/Holding, I can't agree. I would say that you could argue that he has the highest ceiling, though. He's got something that Burns doesn't--that tough mentality and swagger that you need to be a shutdown CB. Burns is more talented physically, but I don't know that he's aggressive enough (yet).

Elder is developing like I hoped Crawford would have. He's becoming a **** nice player who can make things happen when the ball goes in the air.

He is also faster than Burns, "before I hear but he's an Olympic track star" no, he's an Olympic level hurdler. Crawford is a burner and will be sorely missed. F**k Al Folden.

Losing Crawford does hurt... Either Mayes, Redwine or M. Jackson have to emerge as the 4th CB. All of these guys are freshman.

Grolden's problem may be that he's recruiting high character players. It's more likely that these more readily see through his BS, and won't put up with it.

Grolden's a loser at so many levels.

Actually the problem has been the opposite. The first 3 years there were to many not so bright players. Last year we started to recruit players with a different mentality. This is why there was such a split on the team last year.

No, the same cycle happens every year. You just don't remember all those guys saying the same things the young guys do.
 
Im all in on the hatred on GOlden, but crawford wasnt that special...good tackler average cover corner
 
I'm gonna miss him trying to take out dude's knees on every play. He loved to fly in low... haha

Elder has made a ton of plays with the ball in the air. He must have 5 times more picks than Crawford right?

I like you as a poster, but this bit of hyperbole is uncalled for. I didn't call Elder the next Deion Sanders or anything of the sort, or say that Elder was 5x as productive as Crawford or foolishness like that. Neither guy had a pick last season, so it's not like they're both world-beaters.

As far as stats, Crawford had 34 tackles and 4 PBU's, and Crawford had 19 tackles and 5 PBU's. And Elder is a full class younger than Crawford. At this point, I'd say Elder's a better talent at this stage of the game.

Also--Elder had 2 picks in practice yesterday, both on our hyped up "next Ken Dorsey" Kaaya. And yes--I realize that qualifies him for "Greentree AA" status, but it's worth noting. Elder also made some good plays in coverage as he got more burn down the stretch last year, and very few (if any) PI/Holding calls that Crawford got nailed on 90% of the time when he was in on a play.

Corn is a good player and so is Crawford. Guys have built Corn up too much on here, and now guys are tearing Crawford down because he decided to escape the feeble, incompetent clutches of El Foldo.

I'm not buying all this sudden "ball in the air" nonsense to discredit Crawford. Crawford is a **** good CB and has a lot of talent.
 
Is it possible Crawford was average at best and our coaching staff still blows? I'm happy to hate on both.
 
Crawford will be missed. Really puts a spotlight on some subpar cornerback recruiting in the last two classes. One of Mayes, Redwine, Jackson and Henley needs to step up as the fourth corner.
