Who is the Top Receiver in Chattanooga area?

[hwfox4vols]

Great post? You have got to be kidding! Not only did he get all the stats wrong, which he did, just go check it again, but he gave no supporting evidence to back up his opinion. I will get on here and say that Grace Academy is better than McCallie.  They have a 4-0 record, McCallie lost a game.  So what do you think of that?  Where is the support for such an asinine statement?  Come on you guys, if you are going to make a statment support it with some objective reasoning, and stop arguing like a bunch of emotional women. (nothing against women, only that the stereotype is that women are more emotionally argued than are men, it may be true and it may not).

 

Robinson is very talented and has the "liability" of playing on a run oriented team, (some would argue that is no liability because he will get more pub becaues of it) but so is Skogen.  How many times has our "poster" seen Skogen play?  Probably zero and yet he is on here pontificating about that which he knows nothing.  Temple's program is not what others are, not yet and possibly not ever, but that is no reason to take away from individual talent.  Seth is 6'4" 215, runs a 4.65 as of last spring and has done pretty well.  Give a guy credit for what he has done, it doesn't mean he is the best, it just means he has done well.

Grace beating McCallie? Come on dude.

 

Antonio is the best receiver in Chattown, there's not even a close second.

UH- the grace mcCallie thing he was being sarcastic to make a point- that would never happen-

 

you can't be serious that there isn't a close second- that'sa joke- but yes I know you are entitled to your opinion (however mislead it might be)

Best "hands" catching the ball is Tight End Blake McDade from Ooltewah....

I agree with you on Blake McDade, great hands and all aroung athletism, but who else does Ooltewah have recieving? Any good underclassmen?

[owlsfan10]

Not so fast my friend.....You surely remember the pass in the Rhea County game....One of those where you're almost too open.

Nobody's perfect, and yet he still grabs anything that comes at him. He is one heck of an athlete!

Kevion Jones for Tyner is awesome! But Antonio gets my vote.

Oh my. Here once again we see the problem. I am not referring to his opinion, he is welcome to it, but I refer to the fact that he can't read. Go back and read it again...slowly. This was obvious sarcasm to make a point, the point being made was that if you are going to say something, then try and back it up with supporting evidence, that will make you look intelligent. So then, as an illustration, exaggerated for effect I say, 'Grace will beat McCallie because they have a better record'. Anyone can say anything just back it up.

 

Let's do a practice set. You say "Antonio is the best...there's not even a close second." Ok, now, why do you say that? Support it. If you can do so convincingly, then you will win the day, if you can't then maybe you are wrong, maybe there is a close second, or forbid, someone who is even as good or better.

I've had the opportunity to see Ty Levie of Baylor play and he gets my vote. He has the size to be a physical receiver and the best hands I've seen. The East Ridge game on TV he made an unbelievable over the shoulder catch and have heard that he had one like it against Central in the corner of the end zone. He also outran Brentwood's entire secondary to score Baylor's only touchdown two weeks ago.

Ok, my bad. I read through the post once and cound't believe what I was reading. I didn't bother to read it twice. Sorry.

 

I will however, give and example. Lets say Antonio Robinson is Robert Meachem from Tennessee (SP), and Skogen is some receiver at a DIII school (Temple), who all they do is throw the ball. Now, Meachem is one the best recievers in the nation, but he will not put up the kind of stats that the other guy might because he plays against top compition and because TN is a running team like South Pittsburgh. ( I know S. Pitt. doesn't play the stiffest competion, but its better than Temple's) However, the kid from the DIII school will put up some crazy numbers but will get nowhere while doing it. Who would you rather have on your team?

 

I hope that made sense. lol

 

By the way, I think Atchley would be second.

And here is what I am saying- you put Seth on South Pitt- with a quarterback who can throw like Kevin Smisthson- and nobody touches them- even without Kevin- Seth is good enough to be a reciever at south pitt and still lead the city if not the state in receptions and don't say he isn't until you have seen him play- AND the kid is only a junior-

 

I also think it was a bad analogy b/c a DIII school and Tennessee wouldn't be in the same region- or conference-

Yeah Ty is #39 he is a wide reciever and safety (one of the city leaders in interceptions) and punt returner (TD vs. Boyd). Ty is very good and is very big (6'-6'1" maybe and 185 lbs.) and has good speed for a high-school kid (4.65). I also think a great reciever is Joel Bradford from McCallie.
