Yes, I have.backthepack said:I like Dick Newton. He’s just not good enough. Have you seen Jonathan Taylor, Travis Etienne, JK Dobbins, Clyde Edwards Helaire, De’Andre Swift, Najee Harris etc.?
Nobody like that exists on the UW roster.
This is why people tell you to shut up. That Ballz character really got into your head and made you retarded. -
He can’t even hold the bag.BroadcastingDawg said:

And Polk and newton are nothing alike. I like newton. But Polk had speed and broke plenty of long runs.
Not sure newton will ever be that guy. He may be an every down back. Not sure yet. I would lean toward no. -
Neither did Greg Lewis. (Google him youngster)backthepack said:
Because one game against Boise makes it true!! He’s a good situational guy. He lacks the wiggle to be a legit starter. Salvon and Cam Davis are both better optionsBroadcastingDawg said: -

Even if we did have one of these guys on the roster... they're not running behind an Alabama, Clemson, LSU, Georgia, Ohio St. or Wisconsin OL. Not to mention Najee Harris and De'Andre Swift were like the top RB's in their classes.

Newton has shown nothing but positives in his freshman year. You really think he can't get better? This is just who he is? Last I checked Polk avg'd 1.7 yards per carry on 20 carries?
And Kalepo is just done huh? Man, guess they should just revoke his scholarship now.
Why do you say this shit? I just don't understand it... does it make you feel good? -
Whoosh on kalepo. But in reality he has a long way to go. Not very coordinated or quick in the feet.
Were you like 4 years old when Polk was a freshman? You do know he was injured vs BYU and didn’t play again that year and if he wasn’t as good as he was that would have been a redshirt year he would have filed for after his junior year.
If you think Polk and newton are the same type of back that is just wrong. Doesn’t mean newton is bad -
I really don't care... I see that Polk avg'd 1.7 yards on 20 carries his first go around. I see that Newton avg'd 4.3 and had 10 TD's... I think they are the same kind of back, bruisers who make their money carrying guys and breaking arm tackles. You really think people were high on Polk after '08? Difference is Newton has actually shown you something!AtomicDawg said:Whoosh on kalepo. But in reality he has a long way to go. Not very coordinated or quick in the feet.

I think Newton will eventually hit some long runs when he's settled into a starting role on this O. To just expect him to come out and burn guys for 50+ yarders his first season is insane. Especially in an offense that nobody liked the play calling and the passing offense we mediocre at best. Hitting on long runs is seldom just because the running back is fast, it takes catching the D in a bad set, effective blocking at multiple levels... opposing D's didn't respect our ability to pass it down the field all year and stacked the box to stop the run.
20 other D1 programs thought Kalepo was worthy of a scholarship... including USC and Oregon... discounting him is nuts at this point in his career. -
Then you can’t be helped. You obviously started watching football very recently. Don’t let logic get in the way of any assumptions and doog the fuck out.BroadcastingDawg said:

You've seen a freshman RB avg 4.3 YPC and get 10 TD's in his first go and you're not high on him?
Could be the dumbest take I've ever read.
All you are is some HardcoreHusky moron that takes the traditional woe is me attitude. Fuck off. -
Neither Ahmed or Newton is nearly as good as those guys. UW has never had guys that talented except for Napoleon and Dillon. Guys like Sheehee, Polk, Sankey, and Gaskin, are at the next level. And Ahmed is not even at that level. His closest analog is a guy you may not have heard of, Beno Bryant.backthepack said:I like Dick Newton. He’s just not good enough.

You think bringing up 5 stars makes you a "high standards" hardcore evaluator, it doesn't. It's just a distraction from being able to assess actual UW personnel.
Newton and Ahmed each have serious limitations that make their games short of elite.
