I’m remiss to make an argument in favor of Odell Beckam as I’m in no way an ODB fan, but an argument could be made that Amani Toomer is not “easily the greatest receiver in Giants history.” This depends on how you view counting stats, IMO.
Toomer has played in more than 3x as many NFL games as ODB but the latter’s stats stack up:
TDs:
Amani: 54 to ODB: 44
Receptions:
Amani: 668 to ODB: 390
Yards:
A: ~9,500 to ODB: ~5,500
Catch rate:
A: 54% to ODB: 63%
Amani put in work for the G-men for a long time but ODB is well on his way. I hate to say it, but if I needed one of them for one game, I’m probably not taking the Michigan man here.
If anything, football was dirtier before the rule changes (see Dick Butkus, Ray Nitschke, Dick Night Train Lane) and advancements in video technology catching player’s every move now.
re: Jerry’s size and style...he reminds me a lot of one Antonio Brown, who’s had a bit of success in the modern NFL.
“No way a guy like Jerry Rice is as prolific in the current state of football.”
Based on what? Certainly not statistics. Even casually fans know that passing/receiving yards/TDs have increased dramatically since the Rice/Montana/Young era.
Love this- appears to be a great hire from a fit and recruiting standpoint.
What are the board’s thoughts on bringing back Hoke for the DL spot? We know he can get it a done from a talent development standpoint (at the DL position) and would be a plus from a recruiting standpoint. He certainly wouldn’t be a risk to the maize n blue by electing to pass on a QB recruit every other year.

Bonafide NBA player? Try “Jordan Poole is a bonafide G leaguer.”
It will be interesting to see how Michigan, and all teams for that matter, handle the impending scholarship crunch given the extended eligibility.

Go with a Weber- it’s a bit pricier than some other options but the quality and customer service make it well worth the dough.

This is correct.
Unlike pizza (or sex for that matter). When it’s good, it’s good. When it’s bad...it’s still pretty good.
He has a relationship with Washington- he recruited Juwan’s son at Oakland.
Is Jordan Poole definitely in, or is he still wading the pre draft waters?
Correct. The unverified Friar announcer also claims we offered Cooley $6million/year. Not likely.
He’s a BAD man!
Really cool story- thanks for sharing!
I was previously on board with bringing Juwan back home, but this story further strengthens my opinion.
