The 2008 and 2009 numbers indicate production in a spread, the 2007 numbers for Bradford indicate production in a pro style offense.

I was pointing out the strawman argument that Landry Jones played just as well as Sam Bradford when the numbers clearly indicate otherwise. Maybe it's not just you but I seem to keep hearing stuff like "oh Landry Jones put up the same numbers as Bradford" or something to that effect when that is clearly not the case. I mean maybe you can make a case that numbers don't mean everything but in this case they clearly do.



What I want to know is how can all these Big XII school recruit all this amazing talent (Okung, Kindle, Robinson, Bryant, McCoy of both Colt and Gerald, Suh) and yet apparently they get downplayed "because their defenzes aren't as tuff as dem SEC defenses right der." I mean which is it? Do these teams just recruit on the offensive side of the ball and then visit the trauma unit at your local hospital to find their defensive players?

The two best defensive tackles in the country are Big XII DT's.

You know what, in the SEC it's easy to be a great defense when most of your opponents run the most vanilla offenses in the country and you practically refuse to play quality out of conference opponents. Thats why Florida has kicked so much ass since Meyer came, a lot of the SEC teams outside Alabama can't handle a well designed offense.

Don't forget about our man ORAKPO! LOL The Big 12 does have good D but hell when you have Bradford, McCoy, Zac Robinson, Dez Bryant, Jermaine Grasham, Crabtree... the list goes on. Its hard to stop all that talent. I love the SEC also, but I do agree that the offense in the SEC is down, other than Ole Miss and Fla, you really don't see alot of scoring. That being said they have won 4 straight Natl titles because their teams Defenses are so damn good. BTW I know this is completely off topic but John Wall is one the funnest BBall players I've ever watched at any level.
