Hate to say I told you so but I FUCKING TOLD YOU SO! Who am I kidding? I love saying it. Gaskin was a great college player but is not coveted by the NFL. Every draft eligible RB under the sun is getting drafted before him. The NFL wants big backs (215+ pounds). That's what works at the highest level of football both in the NFL and in college. And if you're not a big back you better have elite speed. Gaskin has neither the size or speed the NFL is looking for. That's the reality and what I've been saying for years. Sorry not sorry for being objective. Gaskin's a Husky legend and that's great. But he is and remains a 3-star talent who outperformed his ranking in college but still doesn't have the talent level the NFL covets. Best of luck to him trying to make a roster.
Sounds like Phillip Lindsay.
So, you think that Lindsay way better than Gaskin or is much more suited to the NFL?
Stop comparing Gaskin to a an extremely rare instance. He's not Lindsay. He's not going to go undrafted and then become Offensive Rookie of the Year. Just stop. Yes, Phillip Lindsay is better than Gaskin.
This is really weak, I expect more from you (or maybe it's exactly what I expected)
- Lindsay was a decent college player for a half-decent program (for the years he was at Colorado there anyways)
- his physical measurables are actually less than Gaskin. He's shorter with about the same dimensions.
- Gaskin did more in College than Lindsay did (although if you put Lindsay on UW would he have done as well?)
- he went undrafted, got his shot and made the most of it, good for him.
But this is what you said in response to me ...
"don't bring this example up" and "yeah, Lindsay is better"
Ok.
- why is Lindsay "better" when he did less in college? ... and when his physical measurables are even less than Gaskins?
You have lots of details in most of your posts and try to back them up with your inconsistent logic ... but you have none for me?
- why exactly can't we bring this example up? Because it's inconvenient for you? You have to think to hard to manufacture some obtuse answer or reasoning?
