The Next Big Thing: JacQuizz Rodgers P.2

JacQuizz Rodgers,

There aren't many 5'5 196lbs runningbacks doing good in the NFL, in fact there aren't many that fit those description's at all, but this one seems different...

Quizz has the ability to break tackles which it seems the rest are missing, the best agility since Barry Sanders         (I'm not saying as good but the best since) and the strength and toughness it takes to get back up after being hammered by an opposing player, but JacQuizz Rodgers has more on the line than to just prove himself; if JacQuizz Rodgers becomes a feature back or even a good returner and 3rd down back it will prove team wrong about Ken Simonton, Yvenson Bernard and every other back that was considered too short. With so many people proving height wrong on the o-line (Jeff Saturday), d-line (John Randle and Dwight Freeney) and wide receiver (Greg Jennings, Steve Smith, Wes Welker, DeSean Jackson and Laveranues Coles) running backs seem to be next...

With the likes of MJD and Ray Rice becoming top backs in the league teams have drawn closer to little stars more than ever, but JacQuizz a small player with first round talent was left until the 5th round, a chip has been placed on his shoulder that will lead to something special. I don't know whether Quizz being left 'til that fifth was bad or good, he always gave 110% but now it looks like h is going to be giving 200% and with the talent he has that can't be a bad thing.Quizz will prove everyone wrong, just ask NFL starting linebackers Clay Matthews, Brian Cushing, and Rey Maualuga they all know what trying to stop Quizz feels like! The
Falcons got lucky picking this stud up in the fifth! Thomas Dimitroff's draft was genius!


Good Luck to the Falcons and Quizz
JacQuizz Rodgers is The Next Big Thing!








P.S. I already had my Jacquizz Rodgers Falcons Jersey made! First one ever!

? Vs ?: Jacquizz Rodgers Vs LaMichael James

The first thing I will show you is this:

That picture/graph showed the difference in their careers at that point. There are many similarities in their careers but not in their games. LaMichael is a pure speed-back who uses his speed to evade people, JacQuizz is a scat-back who makes people miss and on the off chance he doesn't he breaks the tackle. There are flaws in this graph including the fact that JacQuizz is 5'5'' and 193lbs well as far as the NFL is concerned. Quizz and LaMichael are linked whether it be until they retire or whether it be forever, but they have been compared so far and I have a feeling it will last a while; Both are Texas born and bred and both go/went to Oregon college/universities, these are some of the similarities but there are not many in their games. The ongoing question though. Who is better? In many minds it's JacQuizz; he has a Barry Sanders talent set, I'm not saying he  is close to as good but that he has Barry style assets, his amazing lateral quickness and juke moves (which I will testify are better than anyone ever other than the Lion King himself) his ability to stop on a dime, and his burst, my choice as the greatest burst in the NCAA in the last 3 years. LMJ on the other hand is more of a Ladanian Tomlinson, a speed back with a killer juke, there are many things that will not let us see them compete properly; like Kenjon Barner another offensive threat to take pressure off him and what about Darron Thomas/Masoli or the fact that he has a good offensive line all of these guys take/took pressure off LaMichael. Unlike LaMike, Quizz only has his brother James and Ryan McCants, and his offensive line? Atrocious, if Quizz was in the same position as LaMike, In fact lets pretend he played for Oregon, we're talking about a minimum of 1,500 yards every year in my mind he gains around 1,800 yards in his junior year and goes 1st round in the draft.

So maybe LMJ is better right now but if you flipped it JaQuizz would look better. We will never know who is better, If you must... Choose yourself, but we will try to provide you with as much evidence as possible.
