Reading some of these NU threads lately, it's almost as if I walked into a bar and there were several guys sitting around a table muttering, "We suck. We Suck" into their beers. There might be some truth to it, but it's not very attractive behavior.

Are you seriously going to try to question my dedication to the program and willingness to put my money where my mouth is?
I enjoy watching JJ, CT, AC and the Cat offense.
It isn't?
Are you saying Tyrell would be good enough to offset how bad this OL is? I hope not because that is non-sense. Adrian Peterson would have trouble gaining ground with the holes we had last week.
Clayton isn't as elusive as Persa or Baz. You don't need to be a scout to see that. How's his arm strength compared to them?
We don't have a three and out offense. We have only had that when we have been manhandled at the line.
We have 3 studs on offense and you managed to slam each of them. JJTBC is not elusive is a silly statement.
....
Still don't think Jackson is elusive. He breaks tackles and is very durable more than he makes people miss. Just my opinion and it does not mean that he lacks value. Typical reactionary Cats fan on here.
You're totally right. He does it with such ease and sense of anticipation that it doesn't look like it takes much skill.Oh my god. Do you watch the games? His ability to make guys miss at the line of scrimmage is rare. You are nuts.
We were very close to beating Ohio State and Wisconsin and Wisconsin game all we needed was JJ to make that first down and 4 Clayton at the front on the 30-yard line that's 14 points if we going in the score against Ohio State we need to get a three-yard runClayton has an awesome arm, but his footwork and pocket presence are still under development.
Considering we have been manhandled at the LOS in 4 games that I can recall, we were three and out quite a bit. A football season is judged by the totality of performances, not just when we showed up and played well.

Actually elusive is the word I would use for JJTBC. Not bit or overly fast, just elusive.Clayton has an awesome arm, but his footwork and pocket presence are still under development.

If you had been at those games, you would wonder where those people are the other home games because those games were great.
It's an indictment of Cats fans perhaps -- and supportive of your argument admittedly -- but two of those games were the only times in my entire Cat fandom that complete strangers gave me high fives.
We're just not that kind of fanbase but for those games, we were and it makes you wonder how we can catch it in a bottle like 1995-96-97-even98 again.
For fans who went to the Duke massacre leading off 1998 (which came off a very disappointing 1997 season), remember the crowd? Hot day but full stadium every bit as animated at kickoff as any time in late 1995. Of course then the Blue Devils demolished us and by then the crowd was dead and departing.

His change of direction skills are exceptional. Very rare.You're totally right. He does it with such ease and sense of anticipation that it doesn't look like it takes much skill.

We disagree and it may be semantic or not. I feel he is great at breaking tackles more than he is great at making people miss. Those plays at the LOS involve quite a lot of contact and he doesn't go down easily. I feel this is different from the Barry Sanders style elusiveness where guys can't lay a hand on him.
I just see more Emmitt than Barry in JJ. Not that there's anything wrong with a durable back who breaks tackles and rarely fumbles but lacks top end speed.
At this point I could compare Thorson to Unitas and somebody would insist Thorson is more like Brady and what a poor NU fan I must be.
They're good players even great at times but they are not in my opinion thrilling game breakers. Welcome to disagree and understand why you feel the need to defend them since they're the current stars. I just enjoyed Tyrell, Venric, Persa, Bates, Autry on a different, greater level. Thorson still has plenty of time and Jackson is not done yet.
JJTBC seems to have picked up a 0.1 second in his 40 time this year. But even he agreed last year that he didn't have great top end speed. I agree with you about elusiveness.You can't lack top-end speed, not be elusive and get three 1,000-yard seasons in a row.

He has broken off some decent ones. I think I remember one of 57 yards. I guess the classic example of a successful back without great top-end speed is Walter Payton, who probably relied on power more than Jackson does. My all-time favorite combination of speed and elusiveness is still Gale Sayers. To this day, I've never seen a back who could cut better than him. And despite the fact that some guys had better dash times, I never saw him caught from behind until he was injured.
It's impressive that you have been timing him with your stop watch at home....JJTBC seems to have picked up a 0.1 second in his 40 time this year. But even he agreed last year that he didn't have great top end speed. I agree with you about elusiveness.
So you would say Jackson is similar to Sayers then? After all you say Jackson has top end speed and great elusiveness. Pfft.
No, Sayers was way more fluid (sort of like Roderick Campbell ) and faster.So you would say Jackson is similar to Sayers then? After all you say Jackson has top end speed and great elusiveness. Pfft.
