CFN: Most Overrated SEC Player

[GH2001]

Looking at those stats and then how Bama spread the wealth in the passing game, I wouldn't categorize him as underrated.  Hell, how many times do we hear that a player is great or not able to live up to potential because of the system they play in.  You can't argue with a system that despite being a run first, play action offense, still throws that much and spreads it around to that many pass catchers.  As far as the drops go, he's probably stereotyped much the same as Ziemba is for his false starts. 

My vote for most overrated, like someone said before, goes to Garcia.  Now, he may light it up this year...hope not....but this kid has had all the hype coming out of high school right up until now, and he's done squat...even with a supposed QB guru like Corch Superior

Julio draws a lot of attention as well ala T.O. in his prime, as evidenced by the numbers shown of how much the ball is spread to other guys.

No, he really caught a bad case of the drops in 09. I think his biggest problem with that is he is thinking upfield before he gets the ball secure. But, as No Huddle said, he made some clutch catches and won us the game against LSU and AU.

The reason that Alabama beat Auburn last year had nothing to do with Julio and everything to do with Javier...

Seriously...the game I watched had everything to do with their D making adjustments and shutting us down for the last 3 quarters and Julio making clutch grabs with the game on the line in the last 3 minutes. Without those catches, they don't win.

I hate to say it, but you're right.

Arenas gave those bastards a short field all day long. I honestly think that if Alabama didn't have Arenas last year, Auburn would have won that game.

Of all the people that Alabama will miss this year, Arenas will be the most vital.

I have heard several talking heads and also bama fans mention this as well and the fact he will be missed more than many like to admit. Arenas was great at creating short field situations. Sure would be nice for someone at Auburn to step up like so.

No worries, Corch Boulware is on it.





  Oh God, I kill me sometimes.

Ok Alf, that wasn't that funny.

I quack me up.

However, I don't look for anything in our punt return game to be a threat.  It looks like they've been doing nothing more than trying to find someone NOT to drop the ball.  Maybe Quandravionte Carr is more of a threat than I imagine he is (Hope he takes it to the house Saturday night) but even his own quotes I've read ceneter around having trust in him to catch the ball.   Baby steps.  Now, the KO return could be another story with Untayreo and Demondog Washington carrying the rock.

This is what I have been saying.

He gave them a short field all year long. They would have probably lost the Tennessee and/or LSU games as well without him.

Dude, we all know the L Train could do punt return. Just give him the ball and let him carry 11 defenders to the house.

I agree with you here on Arenas. I think they will miss him very much. More than they think.

Actually they probably would have lost the LSU game if the ref had even halfway decent vision and could see a big chalk line.
