re: Jacob Coker. Can we believe the hype?

I for one was looking forward to Coker being named the starter over Winston last year and was disappointed when it didn't happen. I thought he deserved it and he would be the better choice as he had all the physical tools as well as an extra year in the system. Needless to say, Winston being named the starter apparently turned out pretty well.

My opinion of Coker never changed though. Kid has all the tools (both mentally and physically). He also is extremely competitive, although I think losing the starting job was a big blow to his ego.

As for his film this year - keep in mind that when Coker was in the game, he was behind a second string Oline and throwing to second string wide outs. Who knows how well he would have performed with the first-teamers?

I truly hate to see him go, but wish him nothing but luck - he deserves it.
