Iowa Football Recruiting
- Thread starter CyTexMex
- Start date
Actually I think he was a jack of all trades. He led the team in passing, rushing and on defense led the team in interceptions (which is still a record to this day tied with Desmond King). He was also the place kicker and punter. He played in 402 consecutive minutes of football and accounted for 107 of Iowa's 130 points on the season.
I saw that stat and it’s unreal. Lol which is why I think if there was a hypothetical list, he’d HAVE to be on it but where to place him would be the issue.
Because I think in the argument of running backs and their accomplishments, Troy Davis having back to back 2000 yard seasons is worthy of being RB1.
That's what makes an all time team almost impossible for football. The game changes too much. Baseball is pretty much the exact same game as it was 100 years ago so that makes it easier for that sport.
Ehhhh. Idk lol. I think Babe Ruth would’ve quit the sport had he had a guy like Aroldis Chapman throwing 104 at his head.
Most guys were throwing in the low to mid 80s, some hit the 90’s. No one was throwing even close to the junk they were nowadays.
Who knows how good Babe would’ve been had he been born in our time, but he wouldn’t be able to touch some of the pitchers nowadays. That’s at least my opinion. I’m sure some may disagree with me.
The junk back then was from doctored baseballs which are now illegal. They also had a higher mound until the 60's which favored the pitchers. I think the Babe would have been just fine in todays game.
If we are talking strictly WR numbers then I can make an argument for McNutt or Butler. Unlike Lazard, they did not play a full 4 years at WR and put up really good numbers.
Lazard (48 games): 241 receptions, 3360 yards, 26 TD, 13.9 yards per catch
McNutt (42 games): 170 receptions, 2861 yards, 28 TD, 16.8 yards per catch
Butler (34 games): 110 receptions, 2149 yards, 18 TD, 19.5 yards per catch
Lol on McNutt and didn't play four years at WR. He couldn't even see the field as a redshirt freshman
So the best WRs that played at each university all played recently? I find that hard to believe.
What about Quinn Early, Danon Hughes, Tracy Henderson, Lane Danielson. I recall all of those guys being really, really good for the era they played in.
He played QB in early season blowouts in 2008 when he was a redshirt freshman.
I didn't say they were the best, I said an argument could be made for those guys.
Maybe you should watch him play. He is hurt every other week and can't make a big catch to save his life. Owuegbunam will start ahead of him this year.
