So does every other conference in America. Theres no denying the talent level in the SWAC is greatly reduced compared to the larger conferences.

True... my point was that there are some good players that come out of the SWAC... don't discredit them because of the conference they play in... Steve McNair is another SWAC alum... these guys can play on the pro level just as good as the guys from the bigger conferences.

Yes but realistically, on the whole, a conference like the SEC will be by and large stocked with far more talent than one like the SWAC.

Dude you're preaching to the choir... I realize the SWAC isn't blessed with the caliber of players that come from BCS conferences... especially the SEC... I'd never compare SEC (when did I say this anyway?) to any other conference because there is no comparison... but what I'm saying is... there's talent in the SWAC. Especially at skill positions.

These guys get looked over because they play in a small conference... but if you look deep enough you'll find diamonds in the rough. All they need is a chance.

This guy is running step for step with receivers in that video. I don't care if its the SEC... PAC 10... Big 12... or Big East... but 4.3 is 4.3... and a ball in flight is no diff in these conferences than it is in the SWAC...

Have y'all gotten my point yet? :dunno:

simple, if you watch the tape his skill set seems like it suits man to man coverage and not cover 2. I love this pickup, what's there to lose?
 
Wasnt Dathan Brown a guy we had last preseason who was as fast as this guy and was raved by Darrell Green as being perhaps the best young corners he's seen?

If staying step for step was all it took they'd just be track stars at the position. He couldnt break the Bears lineup at corner then why would we/ I thought Payton promised this wasnt the old Saints, no matter taking other teams scraps? If he was any good at corner other teams would have been after him with his speed especially. I understand the Bears dont need him on kicks, but I guess if its to compete with Skylar next year, what can it hurt?

There was no way Fassitt could of broken the Bears lineup.

Have you seen their depth chart at CB? nearly all of those guys each one started at some point this season OR have had plenty of playing time. I know this for a fact cause I live in Wisconsin on the border with Illinois and know alot about the Bears.

Lovie Smith has a good eye for DB players, so this guy could be something. But we shouldn't hold our breath.
