If I am right I'm gonna be looked at in a different light but I'm still sticking with my prediction:

Clowney (South Carolina) will get drafted by some scrub team next year and will be a MAJOR BUST!

I have had gut feelings about it for a while and I don't see him living up to the hype.

I get that. But why?

 

Because he's going to be too fast and his molecules will vibrate every down causing him to go back in time before the game.  Also, he will hit linemen so hard, they will explode and their blood will cover his face, thereby letting the RB run past him.  His athleticism will hinder him greatly :)

And with their first pick in the 2013 draft the Raiders select .  :thmup:

There is no way he can live up to the media hype. I personally don't see what the hype is about. He is a good player.....no doubt. Without that hit against Michigan would he still be considered the potential number 1? 

 

From what I have seen he can make an impact. I just don't see him as some dominant force in the NFL (at least at DE).

 

Is he projected to be a DE or OLB?

He was projected to be the best defensive player in college football when he was in high school. Heck, the best defensive player for several years. According to Mel Kiper, Jr., Clowney will be what Griffin or 12 are to the QB position at DE. A lot of experts say that this 20 year old kid could be a dominant force in the NFL right now if he was allowed to be drafted.

I'm still waiting for somebody to give me a reason instead of "he won't live up to the hype."

 

I see almost no flaw in his game.

 

I agree.

 

It is just like people wanted to believe the Luck hype because he was going to be their pick and embraced it and gave every reason why he will succeed. When they know someone is not going to be a Colt, in all likelihood, they feel the urge to throw stones or nitpick. Let us just call a spade a spade.

 

Clowney will have a Michael Strahan like career, IMO, if his health holds up. He has all the tools to be successful at the next level.

he has all the tools to be a great player, but i have heard him already being compared to LT, thats some pretty big hype

Yeah, but 12 was compared to Elway. That's a lot of hype too. I think Clowney will succeed in the NFL. If he gets drafted number one by the Jaguars next year the South will be known for having two monsters. I would hate to have to see him twice a year though...yikes.

I didn't see much of him this season. I watched a total of 2 South Carolina games (Outback Bowl and Georgia) so I didn't have a lot to go from. The only other way I can see anything is youtube which are simply the highlight reels. Will try to see more of him this coming season. Hope his neck recovers.

    • Thanks for this as yes, I sometimes don't adequately express my take I guess..Ha!! Happens. 🤷‍♂️ But you are correct. Cam to me as you stated was never a consistently good QB at the NFL level and that is why I was never a fan of his game. I guess it's all about how one views what an NFL QB should be or look like. I'm not a fan of Lamar either as I think he is somewhat in the mold of that type of QB. Great athlete who just happens to play QB. Outside of that Raven scheme, I'm not sold on the fact the Jackson could ever flourish. It's why over 90% of the time if Lamar is needed to bring the Ravens out of a deficit he can't do it. It's not his game, yet there are those who think Lamar is superior and he has achieved personal accomplishments. Ravens do consistently win though but it's an entire team deal as their defense is normally rock solid to compliment that run first style. We don't have that here in Indy
    • I already laid out the injuries.  You can say what you want but one was the coaches pulling him in the Rams game because they were down multiple scores with little time left, two of the others were a concussion and a shoulder injury that required surgery so that rules out toughness.  Then the Steelers game he tried to comeback and clearly wasn’t moving well and it’s reported he has injury that does cause players to miss time and there is a chance he plays Sunday which seems to be counter productive to people who want argue he’s not tough enough.  None of those involve him lacking toughness.  It’s a nonsense argument made up by fans who are tired of him being injured.     also Richardson has taken wicked hits and hopped right back up from them.  To the point people complain about the league not protecting him with roughing the passer calls.  If he had no pain tolerance he wouldn’t get up from the those hits.   yes he needs to be better at protecting himself.  Again that has nothing to do with toughness.   Also I am not comparing him to Luck if you read my post.   I am pointing out Irsay is acknowledging they are being cautious with Richardson and injuries because of what happened with Luck.  That’s not comparing the two players.
    • IMO the only reason to not play Richardson (when healthy) is if you've given up on him. Joe Flacco has a role on this team and that role is secondary or tertiary to the main goal of this team at this moment - namely developing AR and figuring out if he can be our franchise QB. The best way to do both of those is to play him and let him gain experience and playing time... And, ultimately to get enough snaps that you feel comfortable with whatever decision you come to about his long term prospects. And IMO the only reason to bench him is if you think you've gotten the answer to that primary question and it is negative.    Otherwise, we are doing the same thing we were doing the last 3 years before we drafted him and IMO that's the worst place to be as a franchise in regards with your QB... Where you not only don't have a franchise QB but you don't even have the hope of having one on the roster.   I can't believe this conversation is even being had. If he can play... He has to play.
    • The kid chose not to slide to protect himself and was in a really awkward position when he did get a good NFL wallop. It’s absolutely brainless to do that after getting knocked out of games and the season.   Maybe he needs to sit on the bench for another season. Let him play  play play, what, for another game or two until the next stupid injury?  He still has a lot to learn and it looks like to me we are rushing an inexperienced kid into something he isn't quite prepared for.   AR seems humble, maybe a bit more humility regarding a possible Superman complex would serve him and the Colts very well long term.  What AR IS in years 4 and beyond is what Wise Colts fans should be concerned about. And yes, like me, many here are getting old enough we Want It Now! It's an unreasonable expectation for a kid that can't throw an out that isn't a mile high, and hasn't the sense of when and how to protect himself. 
    • I don’t listen to games anymore because I don’t work on Sundays anymore. But man sometimes listening to the game is better than watching it. Kinda miss Matt Taylor getting all pumped..  I-N-D-Y lol
