What One Player From Each Era Would You Choose?

[Carolina4]

Some of you guys can go further back than I can, but what ONE player would you take from each era and add to THIS 2018 team to make it better? This isn’t the best player from each era, or even your favorite player, but players that can meet our needs. Since some players played for multiple coaches you can be creative.

Paul Dietzel:
Jim Carlen: George Rogers (RB)
Richard Bell:
Joe Morrison: Brad Edwards (S)
Sparky Woods: Tony Watkins (S / ST)
Brad Scott: John Abraham (DE)
Lou Holtz: Sheldon Brown (DB)
Steve Spurrier: Jadeveon Clowney (DE / LB)
Will Muschamp: Skai Moore (LB)

I feel Bentley is capable at QB so I chose to pass on Taneyhill during the Sparky era and choose the high leaping, hard hitting, cast wearing Tony Watkins instead. As you can see I feel most of our needs are on defense. I’m sure there are O-linemen that should be on here too. It was tough to leave a few names off the list.

Thoughts? Your list?

Love Brad Edwards but hard to leave out Sterling Sharpe

Definitely a tough one to leave off. And very easily could be on there. I just feel better about our WR’s than our secondary.

Era

Richard Bell

He was in between so look at it as a freebie. Of course I did not include Shawn Elliot’s interim run.

Dietzel: John LeHeup - Defensive Tackle

 

[Horseshoe 04]

Elliot Fry
(almost forgot, and he counts in the Shawn Elliot era, so does playing for 3 coaches put him in a select category)

 

[Carolina4]

JC great but have to go Lattimore

The way I did it was once these players were added, they met the need. So I took George Rogers over Lattimore. One of the factors in that selection was that if I took Rogers (which wasn’t that difficult of a choice) I could have Clowney.

Just felt we needed more help on the DL and the Spurrier was loaded with talent there.

 

[Carolina4]

Elliot Fry
(almost forgot, and he counts in the Shawn Elliot era, so does playing for 3 coaches put him in a select category)

It should. But probably should’ve taken Collin Mackie from the Sparky Woods era. I believe he played for him at the end.

Richard Bell Era is is one year and we were not that good, but Andrew Provence was good that one season, his senior year, 10 sacks, a school record, Sporting news All American.

Give me Provence, and I love Brad Edwards, but Im taking Sterling Sharpe every day of the week from the JoMo era

Agree completely.

Paul Dietzel: Bobby Bryant (CB)
Jim Carlen: George Rogers (RB)
Richard Bell: Andrew Provance (DT)
Joe Morrison: Sterling Sharpe WR
Sparky Woods: Wont be popular but give me Corey Miller (LB/Buck)
Brad Scott: John Abraham (DE)
Lou Holtz: Travelle Wharton (OT)
Steve Spurrier: Jadeveon Clowney (DE / LB)
Will Muschamp: Hurst (TE)

Kind of need to list my runner ups, lots of good choices

I would take these guys, but our running game would be awesome and OL and Sterling and Hurst would make Bentley happy. Our pass rush would be unstoppable, and I got Bobby Bryant helping in the secondary and blocking kicks on ST and scoring TD's.

These pass rushers would make any safety look good so I will keep our current group. What Muschamp and Robinson and Thompson would do with Clowney vs Ward and Deke Adams did would be awesome to see

No kicker for me We should not need to kick field goals with those additions on O is my opinion

If we are out of Parker's range, just go for it

 

[Carolina4]

Paul Dietzel: Jeff Grantz (QB)
Jim Carlen: George Rogers (RB)

Joe Morrison: Sterling Sharpe WR
Sparky Woods: Harold Green RB

Lou Holtz: Travelle Wharton (OL)
Steve Spurrier: Jadeveon Clowney (DE / LB)
Will Muschamp: Zack Bailey (OG)

Kind of need to list my runner ups, lots of good choices

Agree! We should’ve done Offense / Defense. All great players that would make us better. I just would still be worried about our secondary. But still a good list to me.

 

[Mr CockStrong]

C - Leonard Burton (Joe Morrison)
OL - Travelle Wharton (Lou Holtz)
OL - Jamar Nesbit (Sparky Woods)
OL - A.J. Cann (Steve Spurrier)
OL - Del Wilkes (Joe Morrison)
TE - Willie Scott (Jim Carlen)

I love your thinking.

 

[Horseshoe 04]

Champ = Bryan Edwards

 

[Carolina4]

Champ = Bryan Edwards

But we already have Bryan Edwards on the current team. Again, this isn’t a best player from each era...it’s taking a past player, putting it on this team to meet the needs where we have weaknesses.

So Hurst just cause he doesn’t work here anymore

We’ll definitely miss Hurst this year.

So my attempt to get 2 Zack Bailey's a 2017 and a 2018 already on the team was not allowed, changing to Hurst

 

[Carolina4]

I see. I wasn’t even thinking that way but it’s interesting. Heck, you guys can clone Edwards and Bailey if you’d like. Just not sure how the NCAA will feel about it.

 

[Jon Snow]

Sparky: The guys who defined the positive parts of the Sparky era for me are Robert Brooks, Corey Miller, Norman Greene, and Tony Watkins.
Brad: I think of Steve Tannyhill, Anthony Wright, Duce Staley, and John Abraham.

As for picking a guy from each era, I'd take Corey Miller and John Abraham. You can never have too many pass rushers.

they would have to sit out a year, thats the NCAA style

Chief Hendrix....time to go to WAR Nasty Boy! Believe he was a Sparky Era. Always need that nasty SOB LB.

 

[Horseshoe 04]

Alex English or BJ McKie

 

[pettyw]

Billy Gambrell, Bobby Bryant, Jeff Grantz, Warren Muir, Monty Means and Clowney

 

[Mr CockStrong]

Chief Hendrix....time to go to WAR Nasty Boy! Believe he was a Sparky Era. Always need that nasty SOB LB.

Morrison era ... Joe Lee Dunn's blitz masters. I agree with you, he was the nastiest ever!

I read one article where Chief said he hated clemP so much, that he would run over the orange cones in highway construction zones.

 

[lowcountry_cock13]

With our safety position with question marks I’d have to but DJ on my team. Bigger need than RB. I love Marcus but dexterity was always an issue. I would love to have Jasper Brinkley also, wasn’t he a Holtz recruit?

 

[Athenscock1]

Alex Hawkins Giese Sp? Hawk could and did play offense and defense (No platoon back in Hawk's day) He could run the ball, catch the ball, throw the ball, kick the ball, return kicks and play quality defense. As versatile as anyone who ever played for us.

Hawkins played 1956 to 1958, I didnt see the Warren Giese ERA offered

I would love to pick from the W.H. Whaley ERA as well

 

[sgacock]

End of Deitzel era. The most dominant run blocking OLinemen in our history. Steve Coursen

Nice one, one tough dude

 

[Art__Vandelay]

Where is our biggest need?

QB- Not sure you waste a pick here. Think Jake can be as productive as anyone we've ever had.

RB- Tough to turn down a Heisman winner and/or a should-have-been Heisman winner. Think we're solid though

WR- Even though we've had all-american caliber receivers, I don't think you waste a pick on one of them with the talent we have on this team.

TE- See above

OL- Think you need to beef up here.

DL- The impact someone like a John Abraham, Kalimba Edwards, Clowney can make is too much to pass up.

LB- Same as above. Holloman, Wadley, Brinkley, etc.

DB- Same. Plenty of good options from Holtz/Spurrier eras to take here. Or Edwards as mentioned.

 

[bayrooster]

Era: 489–480 BC, King Leonidas (QB)

 

[cockymark]

I really like jake...but come on Connor Shaw is the best!

 

[HI Cock]

It should. But probably should’ve taken Collin Mackie from the Sparky Woods era. I believe he played for him at the end.

Dude didn't even sniff the NFL, though.

 

[HI Cock]

Steve Wadiak? what era was he?

Jeez. Could you imagine.
