JohnboyND7 Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 He's your nephew right? Either way he's got the measurables that GMs drool over. He's a great all around athletes and very smart. He's got a lot going for him, he just needs to have a great season and win everything. The reason I wad poking holes in the previous statement is because he was doing the old ndsu fan stretching the truth about their players greatness thing. It gets old. Some ndsu fans think Crockett can be an emotional leader in the NFL locker room... Very difficult group to reason with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GDPritch Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Are you upset that my favorite college football team sells out every game and plays on national television even though they haven't been declared a national champion since '88?Maybe not upset, more so mystified or puzzled to be honest. Not sure what folks are drinking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damn proud of the kid because I know all the work he has put in to get where he is at. On top of that he is as humble of a guy as you will find.

GDPritch Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Oregon isn't a powerhouse. UCLA certainly is not. Princeton and Yale were definitely powerhouses in the day.Agree 100%, UCLA Princeton and Yale currently not power houses. Gotta think though Oregon is a powerhouse though, seems like they've been in the hunt/top 10 (I could be wrong?) the past several years/decade, have they not?

nosidel Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Some ndsu fans think Crockett can be an emotional leader in the NFL locker room... Very difficult group to reason with. I'm not sure that Crockett has the physical ability to play in the NFL. But, if he can get himself into a regular position in an NFL lineup, I don't doubt that he can be an emotional leader in the locker room for whatever team that might play for. Crockett's an outgoing, high energy kind of guy. He fits the profile of a locker room leader well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crockett's an outgoing, high energy kind of guy. He fits the profile of a locker room leader well. I agree. Crockett has some shortcomings when comparing to NFL talent. 1) lacks a little vision 2) marginal lateral movement 3) if he has a hole for 3 yards, most times he gets you 3 yards (where an NFL type runner would get the 3 yards plus a couple more and even break long runs when nothing is there) His physical upside is when he has a hole for a home run, he has the speed to break it, but at the next level?? He is also durable, I don't think he missed much game time. All things considered.......I don't see NFL for him but it's an extremely high standard. Who carries the ball more next year for SU?? Morelock or Fraizer? I think both bring a little less to the table than Crockett, but what's the view from SU guys? Anyone else going to get carries?

nosidel Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 The context of NDSU fans and revisionist history? No, the context of the sentence you're critiquing is the NFL draft, and specifically the 2016 draft, since we're talking about Carson, who won't be available for the draft until 2016. In addition to omitting "senior-to-be", Rory also didn't say that Carson was the #8 "college" QB in the nation. Are you going to criticize Rory for stretching the truth because there are more than 7 NFL QBs who would rate above him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Used Flacco as comp, said Wentz has 1st RD potential Didn't they rave about Brock Jensen and yet he got cut in favor of the QB from Northern Colorado. Jensen isn't on any NFL roster, nor CFL either.

Jensen isn't on any NFL roster, nor CFL either. I wouldn't put too much stock on what that scout said. Jensen didn't get near the attention Wentz is and they are 2 completely different quarterbacks. Wentz has as good of chance as any other North Dakota QB in the past to make it to the next level. I'm sure if he had decided to play for UND and this praise was directed at him still this place would explode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SWSiouxMN Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 I think the Flacco comparison is about right key word in that statement is POTENTIAL. If he has another big year and a great pro day/combine... why can't he be a 1st round QB? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm saying Bison fans gushed over how great Jensen was even saying the best ever, and how he can make it to the next level, was the 32 teams in the NFL wrong about him? Miami had him and cut him twice in favor of a guy from a bottom feeder UNC team. Wentz has played a full one seson as a starter and yet he is the next Flacco? I guess that would have made Jensen the next Montana or Manning going into the draft his senior year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
