Would you trade secondaries with OM?

You are insane if you think Banks wouldn't start on this team.

First we see MSU message board posters supporting the Clarion Ledger, now MSU message board posters are bashing Johnthan Banks. What the hell is going on here?

We have some uncertainty at safety, they have some uncertainty at corner. If you don't believe moving Cox to safety will turn him around, then we're relying on hughes being fully recovered and Market. I think you take UM's DBs if you don't believe in Cox. But if you believe in Cox (I do), I think you have to take state. I'd feel a lot better about moving one of our CB's to S than I would about moving one of their S's to CB, and both of those are potential realities if there is an injury to the wrong person.

I didn't say he was better, I said he was voted as such by the AP and USA Today.

Again, if you would take him, that is fine. I am saying ON A MESSAGE BOARD that I would not take him as I feel his stats greatly outweigh how good he actually is.

Just to clarify, you're saying you'd take Market, Cox, and Hughes over Prewitt?

Call me crazy, but there's a new sheriff in town. His name is not Cover 3 (or Cover 2).

ETA: Somebody find me a screenshot of Banks lining up within 5 yards of the line of scrimmage at Miss. State.

 

[esplanade91]

Was he a consensus all-american? Did he even make the AP, ESPN, or SI 1st teams? He was a great CB, but all things even, he wouldn't start on this team.

He called Calhoun the second coming of himself. So, Jones better plan on being in the Thorpe discussion if he's going to be the best at the end of the year.**

Wictory Wed to the Wescue!

Whoa.

Banks might be the best player to ever play for Mississippi State. When he eventually retires from the NFL (where he was an All-Rookie!!!!!) and becomes a coach for MSU he will probably be able to walk into practice and be the best DB on the field that day.

But bringing it back to Prewitt, Banks won that award largely because he started for 4 years. He wasn't the best corner that year. He was close, and his entire body of work put him over the edge.

Again, it's a benefit of starting a guy before he should.

 

[RebelAlumnus]

If anyone moves to CB it will be Mike Hilton, who has consistently played that position over the last two seasons. He also is backup for Conner at Husky.

I believe that is what I said IN THE FIRST POST. Again, it is a message board. If you didn't take your guy, you aren't much of a fan. Especially when, in this case, I am telling you that there is not as much difference as is made out in awards. I always love how the rebs love to come to an MSU board and try to find fault with MSU fans being MSU fans. I would venture to say that there are a lot of FS in the SEC that are better than Prewitt. However, he gets more praise because he has been a 4 year starter. THIS IS WHAT THE ORIGINAL POST SAID.

 

[Shamoan]

its simple...compare passing yards surrendered last season, factor in who you lose/gain, then weigh them. im holding a baby right now so i cant do it myself, but its that simple.

 

[BiscuitEater]

Yes, Cox will be better than Prewitt; he was out of position last year

Textbook Bugs Bunny debating:

 

[KurtRambis4]

It's funny

bc it seemed the general consensus over here was this (even before he picked state, and flipped). However, we were ridiculed by nafoom for it, nonstop.

 

[dawgstudent]

I'm sure you told us after the 2012 Egg Bowl that Banks was not good.

 

[AFDawg]

I love Banks, but you can make a pretty good argument that he wasn't the best corner on his team that year.

 

[AHSDawg]

EXACTLY... And, add to that mocking him winning the Thorpe

 

[HD6]

Banks and Slay would both start over Calhoun and Love.

 

[AFDawg]

No doubt.

 

[RebelAlumnus]

I don't see where anyone anywhere has given him any kind of award for being a 4 year starter. He was honorable mention AA as a sophomore. He was 1st team as a junior. Where is anyone giving him awards based on being a 4th year starter?

You are such a tool.
