A Lot of Teams Missed Out On a Future Star At WR

Fuller was plagued with injuries the end of his career and defenses locked down on him constantly to keep his big hit threat away. It was easy to do since he was never 100%.

I admit, I was one of the many guys on here before the season started that thought he was better than Blackmon and I didn't see anything this season to make me think different, believe me. If you could guarantee Fuller to be healthy all season and put him on OSU's offense that inflates stats like nobodies business and put him in Blackmon's place I guarantee you his results would not be too far off.

OSU the past two seasons was like a Leach era Tech. Blackmon, Weeden, and all those guys will flop in the NFL. Blackmon and Weeden = Harrell and Crabtree v2.0. They couldn't even win a national championship.

Fuller will be a star in the NFL in 2-3 years once he gets adjusted and fully healthy. When he is healthy he is unstoppable.

That's one way to look at it...unfortunately, that way is wrong.

Maybe teams didn't draft him bc he is injury prone

Having an injury to some part of his leg didn't cause perfectly thrown balls to bounce off of his hands.

Haven't crabtree and bryant had decent results in the nfl? - not to say they are amazing
Also if they are just system based players what will that make all of our future wrs and qbs?

I think fuller will do well I the nfl btw I just don't think it's fair to label people as system players all the time..

Fullers best football days are behind him. He has his chance and blew it.

Are you really comparing Jeff Fuller to Dez Bryant and Michael Crabtree?

Dez and Crabs actually caught passes and played well before going into the draft.....oh, and they were actually drafted.

Maybe Fuller just had one great year and that's it. A one hit wonder that never produced anything worthy again. You have to look past the Ag loyalty and see that last year was pure disappointment

Blackmon will be one of the biggest WR busts in NFL history. You all need to quit yanking it to Kiper. Any half way decent WR with size and skill could have done what he did in Gundy's system.

Fuller with Weeden throwing to him in Gundy's offense = 1st or 2nd round draft pick without injury.

It's a gimmick offense that inflates stats.

Blackmon is 1/10th of A.J. Green and Julio Jones as far as skill, at best.

Fuller did not have a good year at all--one good catch against bu--yes. But a lot of dropped passes and never at 100%. He needs to make sure he rehabs enough to be 100% and then be used like he should have been. He also needs to work as hard as Jerry Rice did to become great,

If Danny Amendola can make the NFL, I give Fuller a shot. It all depends on how hard he works.

It's funny we have such different opinions of this one. I felt that Blackmon would be better than Dez, when it's all said and done.

He will be a good pro WR. Sherman wouldn't allow the dolphins to sign him as a free agent if he didn't believe in him. He will help Ryan and Ryan will help him! Time will tell...Good Luck guys! Thanks for going hard for the Aggies for 4 years!

I am surprised by the amount of venom that is sent Fuller's way. Yeah, he dropped more than a couple of balls that a top-level receiver should catch in his sleep. But I don't think the guy everyone was begging to come back in February 2011 should be getting so much hate. That's bad bull, Aggies. He's one of you and deserves your support, whether you're pissed about the dropped balls or not.

It wouldn't take much to be better than Dez. Who has severely underperformed thus far. Blackmon, like Dez, is a character issue guy.

Dez and Blackmon will both be high draft pick busts IMHO.

If Sherman really believed in him, he would have drafted him.

Given that the Fins drafted WRs in the 6th and 7th, there are planning on Fuller barely making the team, practice squad or nothing.

How has Dez severely underperformed? He just missed having a 1,000 yard season, had 9 TDs, and plays alongside Witten and Austin who are very productive. Not to mention that was only in his 2nd year. I'm not a Cowboys fan but that guy plays WR like a beast.

Severely underperformed = Michael Crabtree and Darrius Heyward-Bey.

Just wish I could understand what happened between Fuller's Junior and Senior season. I do wish him well and hope he's successful at the next level.

For what the Cowboys paid, he has under performed.

Not to mention all the off the field issue he has caused. I'm just saying that he has not lived up to the hype.

Jeff Fuller is the second coming of Jerry Rice, Randy Moss, and T.O. combined! i just don't understand why anyone, not even the beer-bellied, Shipley's donut eating, porn watching NFL scouts, could miss out on a future pro bowler!

Fuller will make the squad. He'll probably never be a pro bowler, but he make a squad.

Jeff will make the Dolphins or some other NFL team surprisingly happy. Great steal IMO.

Fuller could be a great player but he's nowhere near the level of Blackmon at this point.

Nothing against fuller but a guy nfl teams passed on repeatedly in the draft ain't doing **** in the nfl. His own freaking coach passed on him!

Not saying he'll be a star, but Miles Austin and Tony Romo would like to have a word with you about not being drafted.

^ Tony Romo bad example if you are talking about players who don't suck. Bench rider turned pressure flopper. Might be why the cowgirls haven't won a playoff game in what, 16 years?

If you knew more about drafting NFL talent, you would be doing just that rather than complaining about it on a message board... amirite?

Whatever you say, Cow Puke. Have fun struggling to be bowl eligible next year now that your QB and most OL are moving on among others.
