Re: SDSU at JMU Semi Final Thread
Goedert is far from loved on this board but it is just a rumor. He could play with one leg and people would still hate him. What help is a guy really if he's playing not playing at 100% and has the risk of hurting himself more? Whether it'd be for the next FCS game or future NFL opportunities he has? The Wentz and Goedert situations are very different IMO. Wentz had 3 months to come back to 100% and Goedert has 7 days and we don't even know how hurt he actually is.

Right. Goedert is already pegged as the #1 TE in the draft, this game won't change that one way or the other. Carson didn't have much body of work and while it was risky to come back there was also a big upside. I believe before he did so he was regarded by most as a late 1st round or early 2nd round pick. I don't think there's any question that his performance in that game and the character he showed by playing it helped his draft stock.Originally Posted by wagsabison

Decoy factor? You have to account for a guy like that, hurt or not.
I disagree. Carson was always going to shoot up draft boards at the Senior Bowl and in individual meetings. Once people met him, they fell in love.

Perhaps...but he had no way of knowing that.
It doesn't really matter anyway I guess, I doubt Carson ever seriously considered sitting out just due to his competitive nature alone.

Nobody knew that was going to happen before the Senior. It was during and after the Senoir bowl it took on a life of its own.

Playing in the chipper just added to the legend. Even if he'd of sat it out, I'd bet his performances at the senior bowl, combine, and individual workouts still would have shot him up the draft boards.

Re: SDSU at JMU Semi Final Thread
Quite frankly, that's a lie. You could easily tell people were going to fall in love with him after meeting him. How could you not? The kid is smart and grown up, in today's world that is severely lacking. Look at his football IQ. The writing was on the wall long before that game. I knew as soon as someone got him in a room talking X's and O's, they would fall in love with him...it only takes one team. Joe Flacco flew up draft boards because of the long ball competition before the draft.
You think a kid as well grounded and confident as him didn't think he would wow people? The competitor in him was going to play in Frisco regardless...but I don't for a second believe he didn't know he was going to shoot up draft boards.

Believe what you wish. All the NFL teams had been to Fargo. All the real background talk that really had legs started at the senior bowl.
Now give your CW blow up date doll a break.

Re: SDSU at JMU Semi Final Thread
No shit all the teams had been here, whats your point? Totally different beast than giving a guy your playbook and him crushing it. Weirdly, after the Senior Bowl is when Wentz had some time to spend with those guys because he was done with his season...but you know, let your narrative take where you want.

These teams know every QB in America. If one guy has a little bit of head steam...they'll do their due diligence. The senior bowl helps...but really, his pro day was well attended by 18 teams, some couldn't make it in due to weather.
These guys knew about Wentz probably in his first year. Hell, we did.
