How in the world

[CountVolcula]

does Marques North get voted 3rd team All SEC?

Are there that many better WRs in the SEC?

I may be biased, but to me that is just crazy

Doesn't make a lot of sense to me either.

Without his playmaking ability, we don't win the SC game

Add the other great catches, especially the one in the Georgia game, and you don't get a 3rd team WR

 

[huskyvol]

I don't agree with it either, but hopefully he will be 1st team at the end of the season.

 

[Biopsyman]

F the preseason predictions. See what happens after the season with that guy.. 60+ catchs and over 1000 yards.. Book it

 

[LotteryPick]

I think right now, Cooper and maybe Coates are better.

By the end of this season, I don't think anyone will be better.

 

[HuntlandVolinColo]

496 yards in 10 games.

I understand Amari Cooper, and Treadwell? at Ole Miss being good. GA & FL WR were/are still banged up. USCe and Miss St have one or two good ones each. Aub has highly rated WRs but it didn't really show last year except a few flashes.

Mizzou, LSU, aTm, Vandy all depleted.

Ark & UK N/A.

 

[LotteryPick]

Forgot Treadwell; he's up there, too.

Let the 'know-it-alls' rate our players and team the way they are. I really think there will be some surprises this year. Lets be patient and see if the rankings are the same at the end of the season.

No

We must embrace our lack of respect. It can do nothing but motivated us. :loco:

In fairness, he didn't have a ton of yards last year despite his freakishly athletic catches.

 

[VolStrom]

It will make us look that much better when we win games they didn't predict us to.

 

[Grand Vol]

I don't know about the rest of you guys, but I'm pretty happy almost everyone is underestimating us.

Because when we start biting people in the azz, there's a lot of crow to be served.

Screw the sportwriters and anyone else that still thinks this is a pushover team. I want this team to prove them wrong so bad it hurts.

F the preseason predictions. See what happens after the season.

This is the perfect response for every prediction the media is making.

 

[BeecherVol]

By the end of this season, I don't think anyone will be better.

Maybe Cooper, Coates is a push.

Both of those guys have played in better offenses thus far.

 

[YankeeVol]

I'd bet a paycheck he ends up higher at the end of the season.

 

[norrislakevol]

North is probably the best NFL prospect in the SEC at WR. 6' 4" 220lbs and runs a sub 4.4 in the 40. He will be very difficult to cover this year and will likely post better numbers than anyone barring injury.

 

[madbamahater]

Ummm because he doesn't have a QB that can get him the ball

 

[TopDog4TN]

IMO they base too much of these preseason things on last years stats and not actual ability. Which would explain a lot in this exact situation.

 

[Dickel#12Vol]

Ummm because he doesn't have a QB that can get him the ball

A target as big as North,, and a wing span that he has.. you and I could get it close enough for him to catch...

 

[Rooster1]

Ummm because he doesn't have a QB that can get him the ball

Only thing holding him back from 1st team All American is a QB/OL that can get him the ball consistently, he is the best talent wise in the league outside of maybe Cooper.

 

[livefaith]

I'm gonna go out on a limb here (albeit a thick one) and say MN will change that position by seasons end too. Everything I watch this guy do looks NFL ready. Beast IMO.

Exactly, last season's stats are the only objective measurement. What matters is his ranking at the end of this year which I think will be very high unless his stats are diluted by all the other targets our QB's have to throw to.

I Like the ol' underdog roll. Every spring, Bear Bryant would moan and B***h about his team not being very good that particular year and they would end up beating most of the teams they played. Let 'em all think we are not very good!!
