Canzano Reports it's Thomas over Costa

[BLAZER PROPHET]

I'm surprised.

 

[Wheels]

I'm not really... if they are that even.. then you give it to the guy who will be around for th enext 3 years. If they werent even, then yeah if Costa is ahead you give it to him. But Costa is what he is IMO.. Thomas if (as allegedly reported) every bit as equal.. he isnt at his ceiling.

 

[Mediocre Man]

Thomas is from the Houston area.


Local boy done good baby!!!

The Rogers brothers are from my area also. Actually, until the new HS was built, my kids would have went to the same HS as the Rogers brothers.

 

[Wheels]

"Rodgers"... just sayin

 

[BLAZER PROPHET]

I guess I was surprised as this team may be so good that I would have wanted a veteran to keep them poised. Not that I discount the point to have a three year starter in Thomas, but think it unnecessary as he would have gotten plenty of snaps this season with their schedule and would have easily been ready for next year.

 

[Wheels]

I see your point. But I also was reading that Thomas is better at rallying guys around him... just seems to have more of that leader aspect. Of course this is all from what I'm reading... I have only seen the Spring game this year.

Canzano is stating that the players and people are all the opposite. That Thomas is just a pup... That's why Canzano is a crap journalist.

lol well I'm not gonna turn this into a Canzano Sucks thread... but the stuff I have been reading was from like Ken Goe I think.

I'm pumped to see Thomas play! Another Dennis Dixon!

Assuming he can beat out Bennett next year. The kidd is looking really good.

What's Bennett's story? Haven't heard of him.

A white boy from Califonrnia, who has a good arm, but is solid on his feet as well.

I'm more excited about Jerrard Randall than any of them. Crazy fast kid the Ducks nabbed out of SEC country.

11' class is shaping out nicely and its just getting started.

Randall, Sumler and the Russian kid from Arizona are already on board. Plus, I think they have the inside track on the beast kid at Hillsboro high that schools all over the country are slobbering over.

LOL... except Thomas is the drop back passer and Costa is the runner. =) I think Thomas is much more like Joey Harrington... but I am excited either way... can't WAIT for college football!

I'll make you a deal.

I will stop posting the 2 things about Houston a year, if you stop posting the 200 things about you a year. Deal?

Also, I think it might be impossible for the 4th largest city in the country to be boring. Hot, is another thing all together though.

From what I've seen and everything I've read, DT is the superior runner. Costa did post a fraction faster 40 time, but Thomas has more shiftyness and size/power. He also has a much higher release point on his passes as Costa is both shorter and has a side armed release. I've followed the preseason reports, and he's seemed to have a slight edge in both completion % and throwing less interceptions. It sounds like the coaches chose the guy who showed better.

stoked for the season

Like Wheels mentioned if all things are equal I think you go with Thomas because he may be around for 3 years. From what I remember when I saw him play... which wasn't much... but he didn't look like an option guy... which will be interesting to see if they make him one or if it just was something he didn't get a chance to show... because Oregon's offense seems to depend on that so much.

200? That's a low estimate...

coming out of HS, rivals ranked Thomas as the #6 dual threat QB. They also listed him as having a 39" vert and a 3.3 GPA. He spoke of possibly being a receiver in college...dude's a top shelf athlete

This would make me very happy. Though I'm not looking forward to the mental mistakes Thomas will most likely make this year, I think he simply gives us the best chance to win. It makes the other team have to prepare extra hard.

Thomas has the potential to be something really special, better than Dixon as he is already better than him at this point.

If Thomas has a good year, I think the Ducks might have another BCS in them. The one team I am worried about is Oregon State who look mighty fine this year as well.

Two Oregon teams are the best teams on the west coast (again). Who woulda thunk it?

Oregon State has brutal schedule early... that combined with their usual slow start... could spell trouble for them. TCU on the road and the smurfs on the blue turf... ugh.

 

[MrJayremmie]

Meh, OOC games have really not much of an effect on getting in the Rose Bowl or winning the Pac-10.

They aren't a national title contender either way.

you probably know this as you seem to be following recruiting, but next year's club will also have a highly rated soph transfer cornerback from Texas

http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/football/recruiting/player-Marcus-Davis-60658

and while I'm with you on being pumped about Randall, their other two QB recruits look pretty decent as well. Both Mariotta and Manziel have flown under the radar with the recruiting sites, but they'll be garnering more scrutiny now in their Sr. years with D1 offers in pocket.... I expect both to see their Scout/Rivals ratings bump up significantly. Mariotta was the back up QB last year to a Sr. who recieved D1 offers and signed with Utah, so this will be his first real time in the spotlight. Manziel plays in a lesser Texas HS league, but has been putting up ridiculous #'s. Here's a local recap of his game yesterday

Yeah, I believe Canzano did a segment about justifying that he wasn't racist for this reason. He said originally that Thomas (the black athlete) was the faster. Then worried he'd sound racist and looked up to see that their HS Senior year 40 times. Thomas was 0.1 seconds faster AND Costa has had 3 majory surgeries on his knee (i think).

 

[tlongII]

Thomas is almost as good as Ryan Katz. Almost.

Well, we still need to see a few games out of them, but...
