Clowney would be best served by sitting this season out. His stock has nowhere to go but down.
Now that would be bad for football.

He really is a badass, but in general I agree. I'm really tired of hearing about "the hit" too.
This for sure. They never seem to mention that the RB is only 5'6 and 175 pounds. Clowney is close to a full foot taller and almost a hundred pounds more. Still a great play, but he doesn't demolish SEC RB's like that.

Don't know if it was posted or not but Clowney told Jessee Palmer today on the SVP/Rusillo ESPN Radio show that....

he wants to go against James Hurst all game so he can "expose him. I want to cost him millions of dollars."

Every other segment is about Clowney. No kid can live up to that much hype. He is a very special player, but he is blockable. He makes mistakes, mentally and technically. The best defensive player ever? Not even close. Not yet at least.
This is how people felt about Honey Badger as well.

Lawson will be better

eh, mathieu didn't start to garner national hype like clowney has until a few games into the season. and no one tabbed him as the best defensive player at his position ever, just an amazing playmaker. there were still plenty of people that thought he was overrated. he may have been overhyped, but it wasn't exactly the same. he was also on the #1 team in the country and making game changing plays almost every game.

I don't think the level of hype are near the same.

I can see why. Mathieu wasn't ever considered the greatest at his position. Not even close. I think Clowney could be a once in a generation player, but his #'s don't show that, not yet at least. Would have liked to see Clowney play before the spread became popular. He may have set some records against the traditional pro set offenses.

I'd rather hear about Clowney than Johnny Football. Ironic that Clown is a part of Clowneys name. Should be a part of Johnny Circus' name.

We ALL would rather hear about someone else.
Can't wait to see how TMZSPN handles this. Will Joe Schad be offering exclusive reports from Clowney's jock strap?

There's a laundry list of college FB players ESPN has done this with. They love to put 'em on top of the world and then document the downfall and/or not living up to the unrealistic hype/expectations that THEY put on them. Just off the top of my head:
Reggie Bush (NCAA investigation, not as good in NFL)
Vince Young (didn't dominate NFL, went crazy for a bit there)
Tebow (from the draft up through his continuing NFL saga)
Tyrann Mathieu (drug issues)
JFF (partying, NCAA investigation)
Clowney (we'll see...)
Feel free to add to the list. ESPN has turned to shite. It's better to be in the Russell Wilson/Teddy Bridgewater scenario. Talked about but not hyped.

Posted on 8/29/13 at 4:31 pm to 4CEofN8URE
