Is the low amount of bammer responses due to them shaking their heads since they knew it was coming or are they feverously Google searching for a rebuttal?

Well give us three RBs on a single team that has more talent collectively than those three.

You do know all three of them will be NFL RBs right?

Eta: I'm assuming he meant on a single NFL team. If he meant any 3 NFL RBs then yea that was stupid to say

RB is so hard to project anymore in this NFL. Yeldon is about the most NFL ready. Henry and Drake have a looooooooong way to go to be considered along those same lines.

Call me a homer but I don't think it's that outlandish of a statement.

Assuming he means on one NFL team. His words aren't all that clear as to what he means.

You're fricking kidding me I hope. I know we're all homers but Jesus Christ. Do you really think there aren't any NFL teams with 3 backs better than 3 guys sitting on a college roster?

eta: And just when did Lane Kiffin become the end all be all talent evaluator? Dude has shite all over every job he's ever had.

Define "talent."

Because I didn't take it to mean "better" right now. I was thinking more along the lines of natural ability or potential.

Let's assume he's right even though I think it's wildly and laughably off base. What does he stand to benefit from spewing shite like this to the media? Now think about the potential damage it could do to him. Balance the two. If your final conclusion is Kiffin is a moron, then you're right too.

Arkansas has sent 7 RBs to the NFL in the last 8 years, 3 played together on one team, 4 on the other.

We could easily say all 3 of our current RBs will find themselves in the NFL one day, but that is a far cry from claiming the 3 are better than every RB roster in the NFL...

The extreme disparity in level of play between the NFL and college football is lost on many here. It's truly stunning to see the difference in speed of everyone on the field at that level - especially when you can see games in close proximity, such at LSU at Tiger Stadium on Saturday night and then the Saints in the Superdome on Sunday.

Come on guys, just stop. This really is a ridiculous statement. Don't make things worse.

They are great talents, no doubt, but its just not a smart statement. He's coaching a team loaded with talent, in college, while resurrecting his coaching status, which looks terrible if you look at last 3 stops. Then, says he's not only coaching NFL talent, but the best NFL talent. He doesn't know how, on a rudimentary level, to play the expectations game, and its a no-win for him. If they are good, its talent. If they are subpar, he sucks....Saban would have said, "Its about the process, and we will try to improve every week"...Its like Kiffin has never grown as a coach anywhere he's been, and I think he's hoping that talent/opportunity that he's been blessed with will resurrect his image...Just an empty suit from outside looking in....
