I think he could, but the teams with the higher picks need QB’s, and only for that reason could he drop. I wish the Falcons could get him, but should not trade away picks to get him. Right now they best go after a shut down corner (draft or free agency), as that may be their biggest weakness.

I’m sorry but AJ Green aint gonna be the #1 pick in the draft. NFL teams do not like to tie up that much guaranteed money on a position that is given to being a diva. Calvin Johnson was a better talent than Green and topped out at the #2 pick. And Calvin Johnson was a coach’s dream because of his work ethic and attitude on top of his enormous talent. Green has shown immaturity and lack of discipline with his suspension this season. And despite how talented Calvin was, he did not elevate the Detroit Lions the way you expect a #2 pick to do. A team without an established QB is not going to spend $40 million guaranteed on a WR with character concerns.

Just when we need to have one of our ‘players’ show a little loyalty – like a Tebow or a Luck – and return for another, and final, year in order to accomplish something, even if it’s only to prove that this past year was a fluke, you invoke the ‘Mel Kiper’ crap about A.J. being in the top three or four, and now, possibly No 1. What does Kiper know anyway, other than a guy with a 60’s-style hair-cut and a smart-a$$ed attitude?

Give A.J. some credit. At least speculate that he might want to show that he really did, and does, care about some sort of legacy at Georgia, and come back to show just how good he really is…besides he could use the extra strength and conditioning (like put on some muscle) before he moves ‘to the next level’.

Dirty Dawg, Andrew Luck made a decision that frankly shocked me. And don’t forget there is still time for him to change his mind, especially if his coach ends up leaving.

I think Mr. Luck really sets a good example for all of these money hungry yahoos that play the sport today. I guess one would have to be FROM money to be able to experience it though. He’ll take out an insurance policy like they all do, so he’s not really losing anything anyway. What are the chances he gets hurt so bad he can never play again??? Slim to none, those are the chances. He’s not an idiot, he just has his priorities right. His parents obviously did a better job of raising him than some of the other players leaving THEIR teams early and going into the draft simply so they can make money.

These guys will never get the opportunity to go back and play for a National Title again. That’s something you can’t take away for as long as they live. Kudos to Andrew and his family for seeing the big picture. I wish more players would do.

On top of all of that, it screws everyone up involved with the NFL draft and gives these writers one more topic to write about. Good for everyone, except the Carolina Panthers I guess.

First of All AJ Green (to my knowledge tried to sell his jersey last summer timeframe, so don’t know why you stated Independence Bowl Jersey) unless he was dumb enough to do it more recently while he has still NCAA eligible to play at UGA.

Secondly, it’s pathetic for UGA to hang their hat on the notion that they would have 2 # 1 draft picks in 3 years with Stafford & AJ Green.

This would be akin to Auburn continuing to ride on the coat tails of #24 Carnell (Cadillac Williams) & #23 Ronnie Brown being the #1 & 2 NFL draft picks in 2005 NFL draft after Auburn went undefeated in 2004 and beat VT in the Sugar Bowl and were locked out of the Nat’l Championship game…

Anyway, UGA has had a nice run along with Auburn University and the entire SEC for having the most players in the NFL draft overall for a long time… I’d love to see that stats compared to other conferences as I am sure SEC blows them away for the# of players that play on Sunday…

Just thought I’d give ya’ll that nugget, WAR DAMN EAGLE here we come Ducks, TIGER MEAT, TIGER MEAT…Here we go Auburn

2010 SEC CHAMPS,

If you can’t accept *all* of the data available, you *will* end up with false conclusions.

By the way, this will be the first time EVER that the Pac-10 champ and SEC champ will play for the national championship. Also, the Pac-10 has an edge on the SEC in inter-conference play the past 10 or so years. This might be the nail in the “SEC Superiority” coffin.

If Oregon beats Auburn I will congratulate Oregon on a great win over a great SEC team. But, I don’t think Oregon can beat Auburn.

Oregon beat one good team this year that had a big bowl win over a team that lost to James Madison. Also, the ACC is a crappy football conference. VT has won how many BCS games? ZERO

Oregon has played more teams with losing records than they have with winning records.

Cal held Oregon to 15 points. Cal didn’t have a winning record.

Auburn beat the defending national champions in their own stadium in front of 100,000 Bama fans.

Auburn scored more points in the SEC Championship game than ANY other SEC school in history.

Auburn’s defense has faced speed in Arkansas, Alabama, USC etc….

Cam Newton weighs six pounds less than Oregons biggest defensive lineman.

Auburn has the best offensive line in college football.

NO HE COULD NOT.

Carolina has way too many needs on both sides of the ball to draft him #1. No one is going to pay #1 overall money to a WR any more (so that rules out the “trade up to get him” crap.) Carolina would do better to draft Bowers, Fairley, Dareus, or Peterson, or trade down and wait for Mallett (or, laugh, Locker.) Carolina desperately needs to replace Julius Peppers’ production on defense.

I defy you to find a team that’s made solid strides forward who made a point of drafting early-first round WRs. The Cardinals may have been the exception with Fitzgerald a couple years ago, but I doubt anyone would support that now, considering they didn’t even have to go .500 to make the playoffs and failed. The Lions are probably the next best counterexample, and it took Stafford and Suh to make Megatron look like a worthwhile pick.

AJ will not need a degree to “fall back on” if he is the top 5 pick that everyone expects. He will have millions of dollars to fall back on. All of this romance about coming back for a degree and your teammates is very heartwarming and would make for an excellent Lifetime movie, but in the real world people get up every morning so that they can earn money.

Jeff, Carolina doesn’t need a receiver. They need someone who can throw the ball. You see, the way it works is–you have to have someone who can throw the ball before someone is able to catch it.

AJ is gone! Why would he stick around for this mess? Richt won’t be around after next year, and UGA’s problems will not be fixed until he’s gone. I’m not sure AJ will be the first pick, because I’m not sure Carolina would draft a WR when they have other needs. But I do think he’s an easy top 5 for sure. I think Stafford and Knowshon left a little early, even though I can’t fault either of them for taking the money. However, I can’t help but feel a little used as a fan when those guys let for the NFL. It just seemed like both of they both kind of held back a little bit in 2008, whereas in 2007 they were balls to the wall. AJ on the other hand gives 100% in every game he plays in regardless of the outcome. I have watched him singlehandily put the offense on his back in games. He’s one of the best WR’s I’ve ever seen. Not only is he ready to play at the next level, but I would actually think less of him if he stayed.

I am sure AJ is gone because that it is the general consensus that you should “take the money” and if you don’t you are a “fool”.. Is that all there is in life….money? Sure it is important but, trust me, as someone who has done well financially while raising 6 kids I see first hand where there are a number of other issues that really determine someones true happiness in life. Personal accomplishments, other than just making money, actually give greater and longer lasting pleasure. Money can come and go easily, but things you have done in the past & relationships you have made cannot be taken away. As much as many of the UGA players would like to make a lot of money they have experienced something I will never get to do…run onto the field at Sanford Stadium with the Georgia “G” on the side of your helmet. How much is that worth?

I applaud Andrew Luck for his decision. Those that say he can “afford” this decision more than someone from a less fortunate childhood are not dealing with reality. My success was shared with my children as long as they were living in my house and under my direction. As soon as they left for college they were “weened” off until graduation when they now must make their own financial success.

AJ can set new records while endearing himself forever to the Bulldog Nation by making the decision to come back next year. Fans love it when players let them know they love the team as much as they do. As I stated in the beginning I doubt seriously that AJ will stay, but if he does he will always be remembered as a damn good dog by the faithful. Either way, I think AJ is a quality person, although I am a bit upset with him for the jersey incident, and I wish him the best.

To lunch.

Let’s run down the top 10 SEC teams, and their counterparts in the Pac-10:

1) Auburn – Oregon;

4) LSU – Arizona;
5) South Carolina – Arizona State;
6) Miss State – Oregon State;
7) Florida – Cal;
Georgia – Washington;
9) Tennessee – UCLA;
10) Kentucky – Washington State.

You might want to reserve crap talking about Oregon State, considering they were 3-4 against top 30 teams (Sagarin), compared to Miss State going 1-4. Yes, Oregon State played 7(!) top 30 teams. Georgia was 0-5 against top 30 teams, Washington was 1-5, and went on to beat Nebraska in a re-match. Granted, South Carolina is probably better than Arizona State, but the argument that the SEC is stronger than the Pac-10 grows weak, especially when you consider the above list does not include Ole Miss and Vandy.

You’ll see a guy who had already mentally checked out of UGA and was protecting his body and biding his time for the NFL.

“Sounds like you admire dumb women who could beat you up.”

If by dumb, you mean a woman who ran the largest state in the union, can kill a bear with her bare hands and break the nose of a pasty skinned loser like you then yes. LOL

“No wonder you love Auburn so much…all those fat cows from the sticks will be glad to strap one on and give it to you how like it.”

Speaking of strap ons, how did it feel taking it from Air Force?

What’s interesting about your moronic comment is the fact that you’ve written about being gay more times than I’ve written the words Sarah Palin.

Something tells me you’re an angry person who’s parents didn’t take your news well.

CATHOLIC SHAMMER has been arguing this all day. She says that Oregon played more tough teams yet when I posted Oregons schedule it turned out that Oregon played 7 teams with losing records while only playing 4 teams with winning records.

She also thinks that since Stanford beat VT, a team that James Madison beat, they can beat anyone in the country.

Gotta love stupid people.

For SEC fans, who has a good conference other then the SEC? You guys seem to think every other conference is terrible and has no right to even be mentioned in the same breath as the SEC so im just curious what you think. Big Ten is terrible, Big 12 is terrible, ACC is terrible, Pac 10 is terrible, so who is good? No one? Is the SEC the only good conference in College Football?

“Take, for example, Oregon State, a team that went 4-5 in Pac-10 conference play. Why were they only 5-7, over all, at the end of the season, you might ask.”

Because Oregon State sucks.

“Likewise, Cal was 3-6 in conference, and played UC Davis, Nevada, and Colorado out-of-conference. ”

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW NOT UC DAVIS!!!!!!!!!!!!

It’s always great to hear from racist bandwagoners, but I think I’ll go find something else to do.

I’d offer to help you with your strange fetish problem, but you wouldn’t take help from my kind anyway.

Pathetic.

I had always heard Auburn was full of dumb rednecks, but I didn’t believe it. Maybe only the “fans” who pull for them when they are having a good season fall under that category though.

It is when he’s on scholarship and NCAA laws say you can’t make any money while getting a free ride.

All everyone else knows is that The PAC 10’s leader for the past 10 years was caught cheating,paying players and are now suffering from NCAA sanctions.
We and everyone outside of Auburn know that Auburn has a 30 year history of paying players, players never attending class, credidation issues, firing coaches who were not going along with the system, paying coaches for lifetime to keep them from speaking about the “Auburn Way”( Wayne Hall) and Board Members who control the athletic department like a bully on a 6th grade playground.
