What is the general feeling about Knowshon and Stafford going pro?

Personally, I bet Knowshon goes pro, but I think Stafford might stay. Stafford's family has a ton of money, he doesn't need it as much. Then again, I doubt his draft stock would get any higher than it is now, so I think it would be the better choice for him to go pro after this year.

What is the word among the UGA circles?

the homer in me hopes they both stay... i just dont see it happening though if they are both projected to go top 5 or so... i mean how do you turn down that $$$ especially with the uncertainty of the collective bargaining agreement and clamoring about rookie pay scales being introduced

bingo.

staying could cost stafford tens of millions of dollars. he would be the top qb prospect if he goes. heck even without the potential rookie salary cap matt leinart cost himself many millions of dollars by waiting one year.

I think Staff at the very least stays. He loves the college atmosphere. As far as Moreno is concerned, I really think it depends on who else comes out early and where his advisors tell him he'll be drafted and what type of money he's looking at. Honestly, if a few players come out, I think Moreno stays because his stock is lower than theirs. I'm keeping my opinions to myself on which baks I think would be taken ahead of him, but I think it's iffy for him to stay depending on who else leaves early.

What RB out there has higher stock than Knowshon?? I think he'd be a top 10 pick for sure and probably top 5. Same with Stafford after he does his personal work outs. Scouts will fall in love with his arm, if they haven't already.

Moreno is gone. youre talking about dangling a million dollars in front of this young mans eyes and asking him if he wants to wear a different uniform for it. Running Backs should always go early especially as healthy as Moreno is.

well they did just sign culpepper to a two year deal and knowing the lions they probably go after crabtree or something ridiculous.

Don't they have a new GM or at least fired the old one. I think Stafford will be the hot name this draft because of what Ryan did for us. The importance of the quaterback position when it comes to turning around a franchise will once again come to the forefront. It had become real popular to back off the QB position in the top first round (I'm not saying none weren't taken) just a little when it came to the draft.

the only one ive even seen close to comparison by the media is Beanie Wells and his injuries have to push him down a bit

ehh im not buying

C.J. Spiller

2006

129 carries, 923 yards, 10 TDs, 7.3 avg.

2007

145 carries, 768 yards, 3 TDs, 5.3 avg. (banged up last year)

James Davis

2006

203 carries, 1187 yards, 17 TDs, 5.8 avg.

2007

214 carries, 1064 yards, 10 TDs, 5.0 avg.

So they just all of a sudden decided together that this year they would be unable to run on good teams?

im too lazy give me stats against ranked team for last year

You may actually have something here.

vs. Virginia Tech

James Davis: 6 carries, 9 yards

CJ Spiller: 6 carries, 3 yards

vs. Boston College

James Davis: 12 carries, 10 yards

CJ Spiller: 11 carries, 52 yards

vs. Auburn

James Davis: 23 carries, 72 yards

CJ Spiller: 8 carries, 112 yards

You might be right, **** I thought they were better than these stats are showing. Spiller was good against Auburn but he had 9 carries against Furman for -1 yards for god's sake.

I admit defeat sir.
