Where did I say that it was gospel? All that means is that it was another set of eyes on the kid. Not someone who saw him in camp settings. These are game settings and how he's played. Isn't that what this thread is about before you came in and fricked it up, as usual?

quote:
until he's in college, when his work ethic actually matters, who cares what he does in high school because he doesn't have to try!

Step back and read that a few times. Then read it again. Do you see how unbelievably dumb that is after you think about it? So you're saying he'll just breeze by in HS without trying and then step on the field @ Alabama next year and start immediately like most BAMA fans are expecting? Awesome. Work ethic means nothing.

quote:
.there were a lot of factors that made him slip to the 3rd rd.

Yeah, mainly this.

quote:
Montgomery, a junior defensive end from LSU, admitted that he would take plays off and give less effort against weaker opponents. He also admitted he would make bets with a teammate based on who would perform better in games.

...and now....

An UDFA beat him out for a spot....

quote:
He also beat out third-round pick Sam Montgomery from LSU, who is currently the third-stringer at that position.

...and was inactive in Week 1.

I've read a few times and heard on the radio that Montgomery's "injury" was just a way for him to save face.

I jumped in the thread b/c red and LSUTool basically said he wasn't good.....before him committing to Alabama they were drooling all over him!

How is it dumb? Some kids are good enough that they don't have to try in high school football. They are bigger, stronger faster, etc, than some of the crap opposition they line up against. The only thing I said was that he "might" take plays off b/c he knows he's better! I never said he'd start at Alabama day 1....you added that! And just b/c he might take plays off in high school doesn't mean he'll do the same in college and have the same exact work ethic.

I didn't know you were an NFL scout.

Ok, it doesn't mean that he was beat out b/c he takes plays off or because he bets on football. "Maybe" the other guy is better which is something totally different.

Ok, maybe his injury was to "save face" But like I said before, maybe he's not as good as his teammates.....which doesn't mean it had anything to do with his work ethic or betting on football.
