Keiland has the most healthy body out of the bunch in terms of taking beatings atleast...

Spiller should be worse, Best should be better.

Anyone see Dwyer returning for his senior season? If there's many quality backs in this draft it would hurt his draft money, I would think.

If you give Scott and KW 20 carries a piece KW would finish with more average yards per carry... Book It! like they say around here.

Man ive been hearing nothing but good things about Jahvid Best. Be sure to tune in week 6 (October 3) when Cal takes on USC, Cal being the home team. Should be his biggest defensive challenge of the year.

Best should top that list off. I think it is good for Keiland to get his credit. He would start at almost any other school in the nation.

The best part begins where the article ends... USC fan gets OWNED....

SailorGabe is incredulous that there are 2 LSU guys listed ahead the first mentioned USC back, so he lists "USC Greats" in the NFL past/present... Response?

You are kidding, right?

Matt Cassell -My niece could QB the Pats, he will be a HUGE BUST in KC.
JD Booty - Didn't take a snap - Pathetic
Mark Sanchez - will disappoint in NY.
Steve Smith - would suck like all the other USC WR's if it weren't for SEC's Eli Manning.
Terrell Thomas - please

What about:
Mike Williams - Huge Bust
Dwayne Jarrett - All-Time Pathetic 10 receiver - Huge Bust 2 yrs - 16 Recs.

Sedrick Ellis - Had 30 tackles, Dorsey had 46, the FACTS SailorGabe!
Lofa Tatupu
Troy Palamalu - only decent USC player in the NFL
Justin Fargus
Lendale White - Big, fat & over-rated. Good at drinking Patron.
OJ Simpson - Double Murderer

Joseph Addai - Pro Bowl, Super Bowl
Dwyane Bowe - 86 - 1,022, 7 TD's
LaRon Landry - 65 tck, 2 INT's
Ryan Clark - Super Bowl, Steelers
Michael Clayton - Tampa Bay 38-498 yds., 1 TD
Alan Faneca - 8X Pro Bowl, Super Bowl
Kevin Faulk - 83-509 yds., 3 TDs; Rec.: 58-496 yds., 3 TDs; PR: 10-132 yds.; KR: 2-36 yds.
Randall Gay - N. O. Saints - Def.: 47 tackles, 3 TFL, 15 PBUs
Kevin Mawae - 7X Pro Bowl
We know the SEC has the Most Players on NFL Rosters, Pathetic 10 is fourth out of 6 BCS Conferences!

Y. A. Title - 7X Pro Bowl, 3X All Pro, 2X UPI NFL MVP, 2X NEA NFL MVP
Bert Jones - All Pro, Pro Bowl, NFL MVP
Billy Cannon - AFL Rushing Leader, AFL Champs 2X, 3X AFL All Star
Jim Taylor - 5X Pro Bowl, 3X NFL Champs, Super Bowl Champ, All-Decade Team
Jerry Stovall - 3X Pro Bowl
Tommy Casanova - 3X Pro Bowl

Anybody can play this game, but the fact remains you have to go way back to find a decent USC player in the NFL. Sorry, there is just no comparison with the SEC.




SailorGabe's EPIC FAIL of a response:

quote:

Correct me if I'm wrong but are you comparing an entire conference to USC? hahahahahah point made.

Just curious but that JaMarcus Russell sure is good!!! LOL. Don't try to compare LSU to USC its an insult. Now Alabama ok, those guys have the tradition and honor to back it up. LSU???? LOL, too funny.

You know the funny thing about your list of all-time greats? I pulled mine out of thin air.....you had to actually look and see....worse....I left out so many players its not even funny.

Is he still playing? Jeez, he's been there forever. And will he carry the ball more than four or five times a game? He does great when he carries the ball, he just runs out of steam by the second quarter.

Southern Cal does get alot of pub for putting players in the league, but people fail to mention that the majority of them don't do shite in the pros.

FWIW: I think Dwyer and Scott are the best backs eligible for the draft this year (I'm biased towards big backs that can carry the load).
