I just said Allen in my view, should win it. Thatâs taking nothing away from other kids whoâve had stellar seasons. My next question is, so voters take into account previous years when voting? I kind of think if they are only supposed to do it for one years worth, they at least subconsciously do it for their career, otherwise Mr. Estep should have been a finalist.
FoSho Wrote:You are the one that thinks college offers dictate who deserves Mr Football. I was just making sure you understood who does the voting.
Dusty Bonner was 6'2" 220 lbs.
A better example is Baker Mayfield who was a walkon at Texas Tech and Oklahoma. While only 6' he was 200 lbs and was not highly recruited. He worked his way up and ended up doing some remarkable things if you'll recall.
Now if you're being honest wouldn't you say that some coaches over looked Baker in the recruiting process? You haven't been very honest in your assessment of some things on this forum so I'm just checking.
And for the record, I'm pretty sure that the Boyle Co QB would have more yards in his career than Allen had he thrown the ball as many times. But some things get sacrificed in the name of TEAM and WINS and CHAMPIONSHIPS.
Hound05 Wrote:I never said a college offer dictates it? Please show me where I said that. I said people who do know football better than me and YOU, talking about judging a player.
A better example is comparing him to a Heisman Trophy winner? See how that works when you take and put words in peopleâs mouth.
Ok Iâm done with this conversation as Iâve said itâs become circular. Your OPINION DOESNT MATTER. MY OPINION DOESNT MATTER. once again voting will come down to those three and deservingly so.

I said this very thing in the Boyle County/Anderson County thread:Kelly Wilson is a game changer for sure! Has to be accounted for every snap! And I agree with ya i love seeing someone âoutside the norm of whatâs sexyâ win it. People place to much emphasis on stats. Some stats canât be measured. Which is why my vote would be for Allen, but smith and Mayer both would deserve it. But I brought up Oxedine, as well. Iâve not seen as much of him as I have k. Wilson but his highlights are amazing.
I keep hearing all y'all debate on who should win Mr. Football, my vote is for Big Wilson Kelly. Why not? Why can't it be one of the big guys? Show me where it says that Mr. Football has to come from the "sexy" skill positions. I think it's about time one of the "Big Hawgs" gets some glory. Why not start with #73 from Boyle County? This guy is as dominant at the line of scrimmage as anyone I've seen. We keep talking about the best players at their position being mentioned for this award but never does the big guys get any love. Why is this? Am I way off base here or do I have a legitimate point?
FoSho Wrote:You brought up Dusty Bonner as a "small QB" in DI. I brought up Baker Mayfield as the ultimate recruiting oversight in history. Trust me when I tell you that it happens ALL THE TIME.

Btw, donât be so humble over there around the pond. Iâve seen some damn good lineman from there in the last couple of years. Probably one of the best individual lineman Iâve seen in my time.
#55PirateFan Wrote:We've had some pretty good ones for sure. But I heard, and it's just what I heard, that Wilson Kelly had like 9 tackles and 7 sacks against Anderson last night. That's why I brought his name up. My God, 7 sacks! Unreal!
Hound05 Wrote:Bad thing is, you know he was probably being double teamed during it all as well. I agree with you though, Iâve always been a defensive guy, if they canât score, they canât win! Let Mr. football start reflecting that as well.
Heard Dixon looked amazing the other night. Heâll be Mr. football before he leaves Hs.
#55PirateFan Wrote:I didnt see the game but I just about bet he was double teamed. You have to double team a player like Wilson Kelly! Lol! Dixon looked great last night. We're a different team without him for sure. Just glad he's finally back.

Cledog30 Wrote:Allen looks good between mediocre team and bottom of the barrel teams. Boyle put a running clock. But put him against some the the best defensive teams and he get raddled. Even Bourbon had some good hits on him and he came to the sideline looking scared. I think Boyleâs two guy look pretty tough. I can tell that the Refs are trying to protect Allen also. So more than likely they already have him in as Mr. Football.

Woodsman Wrote:Ummmm.....what number were you watching?!? I donât think you quite understand what is asked of Mayer. There is absolutely nothing remotely lazy about him and Iâm afraid you are sorely mistaken. Iâm assuming you base your assessment on his defensive game? Do you really understand his defensive keys and responsibility? Lazy? Thatâs definitely a first.

FoSho Wrote:Yes, there are two awards now and just so you know how ridiculous and out of touch the AP Poll is...not a single Boyle Co player was on ANY of the AP All-State Teams....NONE (not even Honorable Mention). Contrast that with the Coaches Poll and there were FOUR (Smith, Kelly, Roller and Lanter).

#55PirateFan Wrote:I agree with about everything you said here my brother. It was a flat out shame that no kid from Boyle County was selected anywhere on the AP All State list. To me, that took away some credibility. And I said so when the lists came out a few months back.
One problem I have with the Coaches Poll is that my boy wasn't no where to be found on their list either. I think you know me well enough by now to know that I dont think that Ethan is the best and am not the type to give a kid credit if he doesn't deserve it. And I'll go ahead and say it, I don't think Ethan is close to being the best Offensive Lineman in the State but I don't think he's terrible either and not good enough to be somewhere on their list. Maybe he's not, but deep down inside I think he is.
The AP had him on their 2nd Team but on the Coaches Poll, he was no where to be found. But, like I said, I agree that it was a shame no player from the Rebels made the AP team. Makes you wonder just exactly what both polls are looking for. One would think, if they both knew what we think they should, both Polls should damn near mirror each other. But that's just my opinion.
