re: Who has/had more potential: Clayton or Randle?

I'm just saying they had two different styles of play in college

not really

The RH and AP comment was that they have vastly different styles of play.

bowe and clayton were pretty much the same WR in terms of style

bowe was just better, but dropped the ball a little more and had to split time with better WRs (but with a better QB)

they both ran the same routes, blocked as well as each other, and were the "big" WR in jimbo's offense

bowe was just better

ugh, no he wasnt. they each did certain things better than the other but all you have to do is look at the stats.

i dont think its even in doubt that Clayton was our 2nd best reciever ever. Bowe is top 5 to me. but outside of his last year he wasnt that solid of a reciever. he never had a 1,000 yard season.


and Bowe wasnt really "faster" than Clayton. Clayton was clocked at a 4.52 and Bowe a 4.51. atleast thats not enough to brag about.

and clayton played along D. Henderson who was a very solid reciever and outshined him.

you cant say that Bowe was "just" better and NOT say IMO. bc thats all it is, your own opinion, not a definite fact.

the only fact yo can base it on is statistics, and Clayton has him beat im almost everything outside of TD's

clayton didn't have that kind of competition late in his career (he did have reed his freshman year)

is Devery Henderson, a 2nd round pick, not good enough competition?

and the fact that bowe has done something outside of 1 fluke year in the NFL

---

what they did in the pros has nothing to do with were they stand in LSU history.

i know Bowe is a better reciever in the NFL.

but while he was at LSU he had major league struggle with simply catching the ball. you cant say that about Clayton. he was about as sure handed as they come.

if RR is accepting of a lesser role than he is used to until he learns the playbook, adjusts to living away from home, etc. he can be better because i think Crowton is one of the best around.

Clayton was a better player over his time at LSU vs Dwayne Bowe == no player can possibly be better than clayton until LSU sucks again???

---

the whole "better player" label gets put on clayton b/c he played DB for 1 half of an exhibition game and played special teams

now that we have more talent, we don't have to rely on our best players to do shite like this anymore

as a receiver, their blocking was equal. bowe had many more big plays. clayton made more small plays consistently

Bowe had a great Sr year, besides that he wasn't on Clayton's level

bowe is an amazing athlete

he's not even the fastest guy...just faster than clayton
