Ifyouonlyknew was the one who initially brought up Calhoun- hence the comparison. And you know as well as I do that our back-ups played roughly the same amount of snaps as our back-ups- so even though it's not a great comparison to start with comparing players on both 1A and 1B is somewhat relevant. Even though I normally wouldn't pick Calhoun to compare Coman to.
I think Coman is capable of improving- but as I just explained literally minutes ago I believe his ceiling is limited. Especially when compared to someone like a Jamal Peters whom I believe will be a special player for us- and that's something I don't throw around a lot. The last two players I thought were special were Bear Wilson and Chris Jones.
I didn't say Coman wasn't capable of playing LB, just that he never has. Fortunately we'll never find out.
Do you think Coman could beat out Brown, Brown, Jackson, Green, Gray, Harris, Jung, or Leo at a position he's never played? As a Junior?
Peter's and McLaurin are almost the same size as Coman...if they don't shine as freshman or sophs, are you going to want to move them to LB too? Sometimes it takes a year or two to get used to the speed of the SEC.
Not arguing, just playing devil's advocate to your point, Bc I disagree.
