Prince Amukamara misses out on Thorp Award

[Red_Alert]

The guy couldn't even pronounce his name.

Patrick Peterson from LSU won it..

That was just horse crap!

Prince should have owned this... and I am not using my bias ties
to say that... Prince is a great player and will make some serious coin in the next level.

Popularity decides most of these awards.........Prince is hands down better than Peterson and nobody is really close as far as being a shutdown corner.

 

[Red_Alert]

No doubt. The sign of a great DB is when nobody will throw toward him. Unfortunately he didn't get the limelight..

The funny thing is the other night over on the main board I brought up how Alex Henery is the best kicker in college football and everyone laughed at me..........Aggie goes, "He hasn't even made a 65 yard field goal or anything like that, he's shit." TexasMan agreed...........

Then I said, "I'd rather have a kicker who is 42 of 43 in his career from within 40 yards."

They never said another word. See, watching ESPN gives all these people the idea that any SEC player is just automatically on a different level from all other players............they don't really know what a player has accomplished because they don't pay attention..........only to the media

Do you guys really have any idea how good Peterson is? This dude is bad ass!!!!! He IS the best DB in the country. He will be drafted before Prince.

I have watched him.......being a good corner means being a shut down corner. He has broken up 6 passes to Prince's 13 this year........and Prince has been passed on like 20 times this season.

It's not even close. He will get drafted before Prince because of the hype......Prince will have a better career.

I guess I respectfully disagree

Well you keep saying Peterson only has 6 broken up passes. Technically it would be 10 because he is breaking up the intent of those 4 INTs that he has. Do you think anyone is throwing towards Peterson?

You are wrong, it is close, but Peterson is better. It isn't hype if you can back it up.

Meh...

I look at total stats, not just broken up passes.

Prince is a complete player… look at tackles etc....

Not sure of straight line speed vs. NFL speedsters, but quick enough to manage most.

Petersen will be a solid player in Big League, but I would go with Prince over Petersen for total player attributes!

Just My Opinion.... plus, is anyone sure Petersen is going in this draft or playing another year in CFB?

I agree, I look at total attributes as well. I was just talking about the broken up passes because that is what kept getting thrown around.

No, not sure Peterson is going into the draft but when you are projected as a top 5 overall pick you are more than likely going to go. I think it is a pretty good bet.

I'm more pissed off about the Groza award then I am this award. Prince will make his coin on Sundays, but Henery doesn't get any fuckin run.
