Dude, count the yards. That's 75 yds. in the air, and he caught it high. That thing was going to land 2 yds. in the endzone.
Yes, IS could chuck it.
And run the 100 meters in 10.4 seconds.
And was drafted by MLB even though he declined to play besball at UW.
Please name someone else you know who has all three of those to the degree Stanback did.
Kid was wasted here, and I'll keep arguing this for the rest of my life - vastly underappreciated. A reasonable debate can be made that IS is the best pure athlete to ever suit up for Washington. And a full 80% of the fan base doesn't even remember him.
No, I don't know him in real life. But thanks for getting me started on this again.
You and I represent most of his fan club. The fucking guy was surrounded by 2* talent (not Chambers though he could've been great), back to back 1* coaching staffs, and a fucking retarded fan base. That staff had no idea how to use him and never really wanted to use him in the first place.
Edit...what I see is a release at the 26 and catch at about the 1. Its debatable though. Somewhere between 73 and 76 or 77 yards in the air. Its fucking crazy. I also read quotes from Chambers. He said he broke stride and looked for the ball at about the 20, then had an oh shit moment and turned on the jets to run it down. Stanback had told to just keep running and he'd get it there but even he didn't believe him.
I'm definitely part of the IS fanclub and he was totally wasted by fucking Ty. I had to live through it while at UW. At least he got a super bowl ring before his career was over even if it was as a fringe roster guy.
Used to see him on campus regularly. Only time he wasn't flashing that big smile was after he broke his ankle.
Dude was humble as hell too. He never sulked or complained or even flashed an attitude.
I don't know how the fuck the guy showed up for practice everyday in the middle of a 6 game losing streak while his talent was being criminally wasted, with a smile on his face ready to get to work. Let alone not lose his shit and choke out lappano at midfield.
There were a handful of really talented guys on that team who got fucked over. And for a myriad of different reasons. Ineptitude being just one of those.
