    Spencer Rattler was good at South Carolina. Their offensive line was horrendous.

    Xavier Legette is 2 years older than Brian Thomas Jr, so he's had two extra years to develop physically and technically

    Legette objectively did not produce. Like, he failed to produce at a nearly peerless rate. You can like him, I don't care, but be realistic and honest about it haha.

    You're comparing two different kind of guys. Both have things you can and cannot coach. You can value Legettes more but BTJ absolutely has reason to believe in that high ceiling too.

    Still though, of all the angles we can analyze college players from, “he had more production” is the most fickle

    college schemes have so much more variety in terms of what works against most defenses than the NFL does. It is very common actually for a worse player to have better production because of his team’s philosophy. Particularly when we talk about schemes that focus on half field reads or only throw to the sidelines and not the middle.

    What if I don’t think BTJ’s ceiling is that high? What if i think Marquez Valdes Scantling is a very accurate comp for who BTJ will be in the league?

    Then you have an agenda cause a WR of that size and speed with great hands has a high ceiling. MVS had a high ceiling! It doesn't mean they reach it, it just means their potential outcome is higher due to being a rare combination size/speed/athleticism

    Does Thomas Jr. have issues with drops?

    More production I don't care much about. But elite production vs. 423 yards in 4 years? Yeah, I'm going with the former there for sure.

    I’m also factoring in trends in NFL strategy though. WRs like that don’t have nearly the same prominent role they had even 10-15 years ago. Defenses have gotten better and better at taking that stuff away

    That last year of production is not unimportant, please stop glossing over the fact he did get almost 1300 yards his final season in a rushing offense

    Also, “athleticism” in football is more about “can you change directions / speeds quickly in pads” than anything else. BTJ is fast and tall but he’s not a complete athlete. Legette is quick changing directions in pads and that’s the main difference that makes me think he *could* run more routes while doubting that for BTJ

    The rivalry is back on

    gonna be honest, I want my offense to be that simple. if the handoff lane is there, JT gashes you; if it’s not, BTJ/Pierce beat you downfield in single coverage; if that’s not there either or that look is doubled, Pittman and/or Downs is singled over the middle; if all those are covered, AR beats you with his legs

    I think it would work awesome in the regular season but would be the reason you lose to a quality playoff defense in the post season
