You guys are crazy. Blackmon scored 38 TDs the past two seasons. 38 freaking TDS!!!!
Key stat: Surprisingly, Floyd had only one reception of more than 35 yards last season -- a 56-yarder against Navy. And that came on a blown coverage.
Have you watched Notre Dame this past year? Their QB situation is awful. Floyd had 100 receptions with a BUM throwing him the ball. Do you know how impressive that is, just alone?
Floyd is bigger and faster than Blackmon. Floyd has produced in a pro style offense too prior Brian Kelly bringing the spread offense. Blackmon is Crabtree all over again while Floyd will be a Nicks/Britt type WR in the NFL. Blackmon isn't a bad pick at #6 but he is not an elite talent with Richardson, Claiborne, Kalil, RG3, and Luck. And that's why all 5 will be taken before him.
I certainly wayched more OSU than ND this year - just to see Blackmon.
No way anyone had Floyd rated near Blackmon before all the running in shorts and posing at the combine.
I'll take the guy who was unstoppable on the field and had 38 TDs in 2 years thank you.
P.S. Sure it was Weedon throwing the ball but Blackmon had more receptions, yards, higher YPC and TWICE the TDs as Floyd in 2011. And Blackmon's junior year may have been even better than that!
