I stand by my claim that the different systems make the comparison useless.<BR/><BR/>It's stupid, anyway--nobody should hold it against Rice that Williamson is Gamecock that sucked.Pacifist Vikinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16630996018868040440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23140411.post-52760244447985874272007-04-29T10:47:00.000-05:002007-04-29T10:47:00.000-05:00I wan't saying anythng about the comparison to Tro...I wan't saying anythng about the comparison to Troy Williamson beng warranted, only saying that your claim that they were under two different systems blurs the line.<BR/><BR/>Rice is his own person and I think is a better WR than Williamson, the guy has done nothing but produce at SC. All I was saying is that Rice was recruited under Holtz and spent a year under the regime. If anything I think it shows that he could be amazing considering how quickly he adjusted and produced under Spurriers Regime.

You could also compare him to Sterling Sharpe and Robert Brooks.Pacifist Vikinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16630996018868040440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23140411.post-158310615813603732007-04-28T22:25:00.000-05:002007-04-28T22:25:00.000-05:00I agree with you on Cleveland.

The way I would spin it in Cleveland is hey we gave up our 2nd round pick to take our 1st round pick for next year a whole year early.Blue Viking Devilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04816148189650832893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23140411.post-23242117928647846062007-04-28T22:22:00.000-05:002007-04-28T22:22:00.000-05:00It may be true that Rice played under a different ...It may be true that Rice played under a different system, but do note that he was recruited by Holtz and his "redshirt" year was under sir Holtz also.<BR/><BR/>That being said I was prepared for Rice as our 2nd round pick, but I was prepared thinking we wouldnt have the possibility of taking Jarrett or Steve Smith. I wanted Dwayne Jarrett, but I am okay with Rice.Blue Viking Devilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04816148189650832893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23140411.post-66686668874618562622007-04-28T22:07:00.000-05:002007-04-28T22:07:00.000-05:00i like where you called drafting a cornerback a 's...i like where you called drafting a cornerback a 'slick move.' <BR/><BR/>rkAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
