New QB
- Thread starter Vv83
- Start date
Supposedly there were a couple of schools sniffing around him lately. If we managed to grab him we might have us a steal. Southern sure thought they had a diamond in the ruff.
Yay...but 4.9 in the 40?

He still may too so don't post negatives. Damn I know it's not too negative but **** I'm tred of reading stupid *** posts from people that don't know a damn thing. Think before posting stupid ****!
I'm not trying to be negative, he looks great, I don't see how he ran a 4.9? Today that's your average OT. He seems much faster than that.
Nebraska, Kansas State and TCU didn't seen to mind...

This article says he runs a 4.7 40.
Anyway, article says "Williams attracted official offers from Nebraska, Kansas State and TCU last summer, but those invitations were withdrawn to the regular season as the schools received commitments from other quarterbacks."
Plus he's full academic qualifier.
Given this late hour, I will have to say Mullen has hit at least a stand-up triple, if not an inside the park HR.

Interesting, if you read the 2 articles from the same newspaper, apparently Williams got .2 seconds slower in the 40 from the time he committed to USM to the time he planned to come visit us.
What was Relf's 40 time?...
...Relf was never going to win any 40 yard dashes, unless he was racing Deon Mix. Yet Relf went on to become an Egg Bowl & Gator Bowl legend. When it comes to option QB's, 40 times are about as meaningful as a tit on a boar.

Good call, Relf ran a 4.85 in the combine. It just seems all the DT's out there are listed at 5's and 4.9's, I guess they both have good acceleration.
Obviously I know Tom Brady isn't anything like this kid, but didn't he run like a 5.2 in the NFL combine? He's probably the worst athlete of all time in that sense.
Put that together with the fact that Relf ran a legit 4.9 and had a lot of success running in the SEC, I honestly don't care what he runs.
So he's not a RGIII, he's a Tebow... I'll take him. He'll pick up 5 yards instead of 10. That works.

agreed. I like him on his film. He has a lot of arm strength. he flicks it, and it goes 40 yards. I also like how he puts the smack down on db's once he breaks the los.
the question is can he throw it into some tight windows when he needs to? He can sure run it at this level. he has lots of time to develop.

He shouldn't have many tight windows to throw it in if we will get back to running our ground game. This crop of WR's will be in one on one coverage with a huge height advantage, and we will be able to throw it deep when they crowd the LOS. I don't agree with a lot of the Mullen moves, but I like the way this WR crop lines up with Dak, Cord, and Williams. Throw Shumpert in the backfield, and a 4th year group of O-Linemen...we could be dynamite on offense in a few years.
Agree with you on most of that. I love the idea of these big wr's, and a running game. however, you are always going have tight windows when your playing alabama and LSU....always.....even if you had mike irvin/megatron playing wr for you.
^^^^^^^^^THIS^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Everyone acts like the sky is falling. Mullen is playing chess while all the negative nancys here are playing checkers. This class is looking at the 2014-15 year and it is shaping up to be something.
Cadaver Dawg didn't even mention our defense. With our current commits and last years class, we should be something fierce.
megatron aside. You disagree we (MSU) are going to have infinitely tight windows to throw into against LSU and Bama's defense?

I think he is actually more Russell Wilson than Tebow. I'm acquaintances with a Rummel assistant coach and texted him this morning and he seemed excited for us saying that he is a really good kid in addition to a talented QB. Lots of read option in their offense and his throwing motion is already cleaner than Tebow which excites me to his ability to be a nice Dak backup/future replacement
