Capital H Posted August 17, 2019 Group: Member Topic Count: 106 Content Count: 1,318 Reputation: 265 Days Won: 2 Joined: 08/15/2008 Share Posted August 17, 2019 PFF have done a very good job of analyzing players and their potential at both the NFL and College level. They have an army of nerds watching tape of every player in every play of every game to compile the data. They were the first "media" high on Baker last year, and have been super high on Kyler since week 1 of last year. They aren't perfect. No scouting system is. I would argue their evals of potential college success are going to be more open to error because of how large the variables are. At least 25% of most rosters are new. The players are at an age where there are still massive opportunities for improvement physically, mentally, etc... I wouldn't be surprised if Blake finally puts it all together, and combined with a QB friendly offense puts up the numbahs to be much higher than 44. Also wouldn't be surprised if what we saw the last 3-4 years across three different teams is what we get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

USF: BLAKE BARNETT Barnett has found his home, finally, in Tampa. After failed stints at Alabama and Arizona State, he finally showed what made him such a highly sought after recruit in high school. He had only three game grades lower than 69.9 a season ago and routinely lit up the competition in the AAC. An underappreciated aspect of his game also came out a season ago as he toted the ball 82 times for 427 yards and 27 combined rushing conversions. Potentially an even bigger ‘breakout’ year is coming for this former highly-touted recruit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has a lot of upside and can are a lot of throws but he did not finish the year well. Obviously injuries had a strong role in that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He started strong, but his play fell off with the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's had a year on the field with the offense now, so hopefully the down-slope stuff won't repeat this year. He's good enough, hoping the best for this kid to fire up!

He actually has passing routes and options this year. Hopefully he won't have to make as many plays with his legs. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
