We have to got to find another one of these GUYS!!!!!!
- Thread starter TEBOW TIME
- Start date
Good luck. There probably has only been 2-3 (Harvin & Reggie Bush) of those guys since I have been watching college football since the early 80s.
Yep. Fred Taylor. Percy Harvin. Emmitt Smith. If you get one a decade you’re lucky.
I feared him just as much if not more than any1 fsu has EVER played. Definition of a "playmaker"
We gotta get 2006-2010 talent. We had playmakers and coaches that would run you off the field by halftime. Now we have to watch games and nerves shot by the end of the game.
Look at Spurrier's reaction at the 25 second mark. Percy had 5 rushes for 147 yards and 2 TD's at this point in the game.

So this year we sit Damien Pierce most of the time when it was 1st and goal inside the 5 yard line in the red zone? WTF?
Hopefully he gets a better shake in the NFL. Man plays his guts out. God bless him.They were on championship teams. Diggs, Dalvin, Spiller, and Desean Jackson were all that good.
They were good. They weren’t Harvin/Reggie Bush good who could play RB or WR. Those 2 were a little different.
It’s all in the offense. Take out Dalvin, and they were all clones: six foot tall elusive open field guys with speed to separate. Reggie Bush and Percy Harvin had balanced offenses that were stacked with NFL players.
We can agree to disagree. Since I’ve been watching college football I haven’t seen players quite like Harvin and Reggie Bush with those same skill sets. Those guys you mentioned were good but I put Harvin and Bush in a different category.
Not a Gator but seriously, you guys forgot about Barry Sanders? Little guy who played for some shit tiered teams. Where does he rank?
Different type of player than Harvin and Bush. Yes Sanders was great. He wasn’t a receiving threat however. The OP specifically mentioned getting another player like Harvin. I took that as a type of player that can score multiple ways (running/receiving/KR, etc).
Percy took down Arkansas in the SEC Championship just about all by himself. They had Darren McFadden and Felix Jones.
And there’s something to be said for showing out in the biggest games. That certainly differentiates players. Part of what makes Peter Warrick who he is is that his best game was in the BCS Championship against Mike Vick.
Pretty darn good in that 2008 national title game against OU as well and wasn’t 100% b
Meh. I'll still never forgive Marquand Manuel for letting a pick six go right through his hands and allowed "The Thief" to get a touchdown against UF. "There's a special place in hell for that".
High ankle sprain that caused him to miss the 2008 SEC Champ game against Bama.
IMO, the Noles had their version of Percy, and that was Devonte(sp?) Freeman. I really felt he wasn't utilized enough back then.
Then there's former Dwag Nico Hardman, who I believe his talent was pissed away at Georgia. He seemed equal, if not more talented than Kadarius Toney of UF.
It’s Black Friday, and you’re going to criticize a guy for getting a great discount on shoes?
If you told me we could have Dalvin or Percy I think it would depend on the offense. Both were elite players but Percy could play receiver and running back. I think Percy was the better playmaker but if push came to shove, I would choose Dalvin simply because of his running ability. Better playmaker is Percy better runner is Dalvin. I think they are different players tho, they are hard to compare.
He’s the truth. I actually stopped watching after the td right before halftime of the usce game because it felt like we had quit. The kne guy I knew never would was Pierce. I’ll always be proud to call that guy a Gator.So this year we sit Damien Pierce most of the time when it was 1st and goal inside the 5 yard line in the red zone? WTF?
The fake punt on 4th and 11 out of our own endzone was a bit of a game changer as well.
