Makes you wonder... How would a player such as Snoop or Dayne do with 4 years in Chipster's "O"?

Doubt anybody with that potential ever sticks around that long.

Snoop could easily have been close to breaking the career school rushing record had he stayed 4 years, but would have probably ended up short due to having to share carries with JJ.

If I had to give a guess as to when LMJ would opt for the NFL draft I would guess:

2011 after his RShirt SO season 15%
2012 after his RShirt JR season 55%
2013 after his RShirt SR season 30%

Uh, I'd say it's 100% after his SR season. Lol

I'd say 1-2 % after his SO season.
Maybe 20% after his JR season.

I really think he's going to stay through his Sr season, but we shall see. He's going to have to share a lot of his carries with the other talented backs kinda like USC did with their the stable of backs. Their already saying their going to incorporate Barner more in the backfield with LMJ maybe at the new tazer position. Then you add Williams and Seastrunk. There's only so many carries available.

I guess I have mixed emotions on this issue. I would hate to see James go pro after this year, BUT if he was slated to be a 1st rounder, that means we totally blew up this season and would have likey won the Rose Bowl for him to get that type of national hype so....

Besides, I have no issue with Barner, or Lache, of Bigelow coming in and filling James spot should he be a first rounder. Only means better recruiting in the future.

The Pac 10 might be the conference of QB's but Oregon is becoming the conference of RB's.

RB's currently on NFL rosters:
Cal - JJ, Jahvid, Marshawn, Justin
Oregon - LeGarrette , Jeremiah Johnson, Maurice Morris, Jonathon Stewart

We can do this by current depth chart also.

You tell me who's the running back U in the Pac-10, now and in the future.

current depth chart oregon > cal.

With the exception of JStew and possibly Jahvid (he's proven nothing in the NFL yet and can't stay healthy) this is a bit like arguing who's the skinnier fatkid.

JJ Arrington is nothing but an average-at-best special teamer, Marshawn had one solid season and has been a headcase ever since, and Forsett is a mediocre starting RB... would probably be a great #2/change of pace guy but currently he's not. Sorry but this list is FAR from impressive.

LeGarrette, like Jahvid has done nothing in the NFL and obviously has alot of work to do personally just to get a shot. Jeremiah will never be anything special, MoMo had a few decent years with Seattle and Detroit, and, well, Jonathan Stewart is unquestionably the best RB that you listed.

If we're going off of current players in the pros this is a pretty flimsy argument from both sides, however I think LaMichael, Barner, Dontae, and Lache give Oregon the edge in the "now and in the future" argument.

[buckmarkduck]

Cal RB's have been a joke in the NFL. Both Oregon schools have put a lot higher caliber backs in the league than anything Cal has.

Really, you want to compare our current RB's and depth chart, UO wins in a landslide and it's not even close. UO has James 1500 yds as a FR, Barner over 1000 return yds last year and will be getting a lot more carries this year, Williams 4* stud recruit and Lache who was rated the #2 RB in the nation last year.

Hey Cal 42-3!

Well, JJ Arrington just got released by the Eagles so now Oregon has more RBs on NFL rosters.

Cal has a 3-2 lead now that JJ and LG were cut. I imagine LG will get picked back up by Tenn after week 1 so his contract isn't guaranteed.

[buckmarkduck]

LGB has been picked up by Tampa.

Hey Cal 42-3!

Really? Your claim to fame in the last 6 years has been Jonathan "he'd be stud if only he could stay healthy but he never has so where does that put him" Stewart ... any other impact offense players? You must be QB U too since Dixon is starting for the Steelers

And to educate y'all, our depth chart is Vereen, Isi, Deboskie-Johnson, Yarnway ... all 4* RBs coming out of college.

I'm not really questioning Cal vs UO in terms of NFL-caliber players, both have had hits and misses (more hits than $UC tho!!!). I just took offense to the announcement that UO is the RB U of the pac-10 and wanted to point out we've been pretty damn good in churning out NFL players, including RB.

And please, let's not bring in last year's score EVERY time we talk college football. Over the last 9 years or so, its like 5-4 ... we can talk again this year when you visit our house

I believe his name is Jonathan "I've played in all 32 games since I've been in the league and had almost 1,300 yards of offense and 11 TDs last year while only starting 3 games" Stewart.

[MacDuck]

I see that Cal stud Marshawn Lynch just got beat out by the rookie from Clemson.

[SteelTown43]

and Fred Jackson, but seriously this is way off topic.

[Quackers]

I see that Cal stud Marshawn Lynch just got beat out by the rookie from Clemson.

Marshawn was injured, that's why he wasn't getting played.

Still, pretty stupid argument if you guys ask me. Both teams should look to try to continue their string of excellence regarding placement of talented players in the NFL - not worry about what each other is doing.
