Unconquered

This thread has been ridiculous.

Canolee is entitled to his opinion. So's everyone else. Canolee's opinion is Stork > Jones. What's funny is, that canolee has actually taken the time to analyze the film from this game (and others) and based on what he's seen, he likes Stork better. Y'all are going on hell knows what knowledge.

Barrett Jones is going to get drafted that highly partially because he might NOT be a center. He's played all across the line. They put him at C this year to get the five best linemen on the field. Obviously they liked their depth at T better than C. BJ is so strong in pass protect with quick feet that I think he could play as an LT in the NFL. I do not think he has the road grader size to play RT. Very smart and technically sound player. He also has more experience than Stork...proven product from the current preeminent college football powerhouse. The chance he can play T instead is why he is going to be drafted as high as he will be. If teams do not think he can play T, his stock might slip through no fault of his own.

Stork is an interior lineman all the way. Not a snowball's chance in hell that he can play anywhere other than C or G. Interior linemen are typically drafted lower in the NFL. Stork might actually be a better center than Jones....stouter, more strength. BJ struggled against Miss St. and TAMU (by his standards), when he faced off with a big DT (Cherrington) and a quick, little DT (Nealy), respectively. Nealy beat the crap out of him (below 280 lbs)...A&M really made it interesting by playing him over Jones and the other guy (forget his name) at the 3 technique.

Stork, on the other hand, has arguably been more consistent as a center all season long.

The main point of Ca olee's post was the the ol's overall are fairly equal.

How do you think we stack up across the board?

Whether Jones will be drafted high really is secondary-he will be drafted and Stork won't because Jones is better.

Canolee is entitled to his opinion and as you have said everyone else is entitled to their opinion.

How is this thread still going?

I normally try to stay out of the mud slinging, but this is becoming unbearable. I enjoy reading canolee's breakdowns, as well as everyone else's, because I have never played football and honestly do not have a firm grasp on things from a player's/coach's point of view. Unfortunately anything that might have been learned ITT was greatly overshadowed by all the immature, pointless garbage that has become a mainstay on this board over the last year. It really needs to stop. As has been stated many times if you do not like reading a poster's comments or breakdowns, put them on ignore. If you disagree, why is it so hard to do it in a mature, respectful way? The most disappointing thing about this thread is that a Bama fan read canolee's analysis and, although he did not have the same opinion, was far more respectful than quite a few of the Noles on here.

I agree this is sad. The lack of human decency is appalling, and to think we are all fans of the same team.

Human decency? This is an internet message board. Some slapdick takes some heat for making absurd comments, and the white knights of the board act like those of us who happen to disagree are running sweat shops on some island in the south Pacific.

You are on meth. Obviously.

Great until you showed up. I love reading how people actually analyze and dissect plays and players rather than just spouting empty disagreements with nothing to back it up.

The resumes of the two players have been compared multiple times in this thread.

I think the IGNORE button should work as follows: those being ignored by op, may not post on thread. The idiots would thin out quickly.

He's probably a expert in Madden.....

Can't we all just get along? Look, Canolee has taken more than enough abuse. He has maintened an excellent demeanor during the ongoing thread.

I generally find that his threads provide some insight on team performance. This was no attempt a means by me to "Shout down" Canolee from posting his observations on this board in the future.

However, people accusing others of making this place like Gene's fiefdom is unacceptable. A truly disgusting insult.

Lastly, the accentuate the positive, I don't see downvotes being thrown around like spitballs in a 3rd grade class. Now that is progress.

I actually moved into a Holiday Inn Express? Which also helped me win my leagues sack title(16) in three different decades(did it in my twenties, thirties and this year at 40).

Smoke and mirrors, ese!

Oh and I once ate my own poop and I'm pretty sure it had magical powers.
