Johnny...... Is this game over now?

Seems like we finally have a good locker room culture with leadership. I'd keep #4 away from the team. Talent be damned. Gimme Mike, Luke and Von

Agree that bringing back a QB makes sense...surprised to see so many pick Johnny. All things equal, I might go with Reggie or even Jerrod. Sometimes hard to tell how much was Johnny and how much was Mike going up and getting the ball. Now that we've had a glimpse of their pro careers, i'm sort of leaning towards the idea that Mike Evans just makes QBs great.

Gimme Von, Mike, and Luke

Im also reallllly tempted to throw Randy in here.

John Roper, Quentin Coryatt & Sam Adams

Not sure if serious. Yes, Mike Evans made johnny much better. Even with out, Johnny >>>>>Riggie+Jerrod

Von, Dat, Johnny

Von, Evans, Matthews

Gotta protect the QB

Evans can't be covered, I don't care who is throwing him the ball, just put it in the neighborhood and he will go up and get it

Von would make our pass D look infinitely better because of the threat off the edge. Him opposite Garret? Wow. I'd be tempted to replace him with Sam Adams or Nguyen to shore up the run D and the middle of the field though. Unfortunately we're a little more than 3 players away though.

Johnny,Dat and Aaron

I probably wouldn't pick Johnny but he was ****ing good, not taking away from Mike Evans but just go back and watch Johnny highlights, you don't see anybody do the kind of **** he did

I've liked what I've seen out of Knight so far, but if you view QB as anything but a serious unknown at this point you're kidding yourself.

Our LB's could turn our defense from a good to a great one this fall, but if Knight simply doesn't have it we will be a fringe top 25 team at best. Our offense lives and dies with QB play. Our defense can be solid (if not elite) with another year of mediocre LB play.

Having said that I completely agree with the rest of your list, and I would put Dat at 2:

1. Johnny
2. Dat Nguyen
3. Luke Joeckel

As for Mike Evans, we have some pretty good WR's (even if they aren't as good as Evans). What is uncertain is good QB play. I don't care how good of a WR you have, if he has a bad QB throwing to him he can be shut down. Just look at Larry Fitzgerald throughout his career at Arizona during times when he had good QB's throwing to him (K. Warner and a healthy Palmer this year) vs. years when Arizona had mediocre QB play or Palmer was injured.

Bertolet, Fran, jaxson Appel

Our need positions are LB and OL, and Joeckel, Matthews, and Dat.

Can I choose to bring Swope back for 3 years?

Swope, Dat, Von.

FWIW, I'd bring back OT Richmond Webb, LB Quentin Coryatt and LB John Roper.

All three guys are tough as nails, superior athletes and play vital positions of need. They'd each fit right in and they would become premier SEC players with no problems whatsoever. In particular, Coach Chavis would be on cloud nine if he had two LBs like Coryatt and Roper at the same time! Ditto for Coach Turner with regard to coaching Webb (he'd absolutely love coaching him).

I think y'all can't help but dis Johnny based on his current status. Talking leadership, do you not remember his sideline "take it" speech to the defense against Duke?

With our improved defense, I'd take a 2012-2013 Johnny any day.. We have the receivers. Other 2 would be Dat and Coryatt. Even with an improved defense, imagine them at the linebacker positions that we could use right now.

Put this back on the field and we'll be bringing home trophies.

Johnny 2012
Coryatt
a lock down corner (Aaron Glenn or Kevin Smith would work)

(Johnny 2012 takes a lot of pressure off the OL)

Kyler Murray, Kyle Allen, and Ass My Dude.

Miller, Nguyen, Evans

Quentin Coryatt
Kevin Smith
Johnny

Von and dat would make our defense elite, Johnny would make the offense elite. We'd win a championship book it

Von will be on most people's lists, but we are set at D End. We need O Line and LB like nobody's business, and anyone who doesn't put JFF is just wrong.

Dat, Von, and Sam Adams. We wouldn't even need to score.

What about Sonjay?

Exactly. I thought about putting Von instead of Dat but outside pass rush is the best skill of our entire team this year, bar-none. What we're missing is the sideline to sideline run stuffer who can drop into coverage that Dat was.

Your original choices should have included Ray Childress.

Dat, Childress, Johnny
