You have the same amount of factual proof as the people who said he would, very little...


How about only two WRs have run a sub 4.3 40 time at the combine since 2005.

Jacoby Ford
Jerome Mathis

Sorry, but about every non-homer would agree that JJ isn't on the same speed level as Jacoby Ford...

That enough proof for you?

Nope, no 2 people are alike. Comparing different people gets you no farther than when you started.

No proof he would, but no proof he wouldn't either...

With a fracture in his foot.

Not saying he could or couldn't, but there is no definitive proof either way...

He didn't. He hasn't ever before. Other people who are indisputably faster didn't and haven't. If he could, he would. He tried and didn't. Thus, he can't.

“I can’t even tell you what Julio ran a 40 in here,” Saban said. “I mean, I coached Everson Walls when he was how old. I’d be afraid to say what he ran the 40 in. He played corner really well. But I would not want to know what he ran a 40 in at that station of his career. He could still play football. And he was the best player we had.

What did Kareem Jackson run?

Even though I'm a worthless lazy arse, I guess there's no proof that I can't run a 4.2??? Even thought the fastest I ever ran was a 4.7? GTFO with all this hypothetical BS. He didn't do it and until proven otherwise he can't.

lulz

Nice homer response.

Expected nothing else.

ETA: BTW, it's called deductive reasoning.

Football speed is what matters, when the pads are strapped on.

Also, how many times did Greg McElroy complete a pass to Julio Jones while he was running in full stride? He never got to show off his great speed due to McElroy's ineptness.



PP7 still picked off that pass on Julio.

For those Bama fans that do not believe Saban likes to throw the rock, here is a reminder...

Davey to Reed

Reed was a RB playing receiver and Davey was not an NFL Caliper QB.
Saban started with little at LSU and got those 2 to 10 wins in 2001. That was pretty impressive.

He [Reed] holds the SEC record for receiving yardage in a game (293 vs. Alabama in 2001) and season (1,740 in 2001). He also held the career receiving yardage record with 3,001 yards until 2002 when the record was broken by Georgia receiver Terrence Edwards. Reed also holds the SEC season record for receiving yardage per game (145.0 in 2001) and is second in the career receiving yardage per game (96.8).

That fracture may not even affect his running.

is that the truth, or is he saying....I don't need to know things like that to know whether a player is a good football player or not.......

yea right.....He will want to know how many times a player takes a shite so he canreally compare them and try to get the fastest ones he can.....

He knows....his is again lying....as usually.....
