Yeah... so this is what I really don't get.

Since which season / recent game is he the best? By what measure is he the best?

Have you seen MH Jr this year? How in the world is MH Jr the second best on the team?

What am I missing?

@Captain Buckeye i'm not flaming you... i'm just reacting to something i've heard a lot this year from everywhere, while marvin harrison just goes about doing his job everybody still enthralled with a very distant memory of JSN. makes no sense to me.

I’d say the assumption JSN is best WR in country is aggressive….

That said…….I’ve never seen Day flex a TE as much as he has done for Stover. I think it’s to have a blocker on the WR screens but it’s been clumsy. I love idea of JSN coming back, and moving Cade back to a more traditional spot on the field as TE, and benefit both the pass and run game by having Cade at end of LOS rather than no TE or Mitch Rossi.

JSN can absolutely make a huge difference in our game planning. Personally, I have not liked Stover flexed out this much….I feel like it minimizes our strengths. He needs to be on the line,IMO.

If JSN can play, it moves Cade to where he should be.

Why? He was quite literally unstoppable as a true sophomore. When healthy, he is the best WR in the nation.

As we know though, if JSN can play its a different ball game. Hoping that it has been the plan to hold him out until the playoffs. What an amazing story that would be.

If the plan was to "hold him out until the playoffs" it backfired spectacularly in the Shoe a week ago Saturday. Thank Utah for a second chance.

The plan should have been hold him out till the penn state as soon as he soon as he got hurt if not TSUN but we tried to play him too early and kept retweaking it. Oh well knowing what we know now he probably would have been reinstered Maryland to knock off some rust for TSUN

Was the best. Last year.

With two future hall-of-fame receivers drawing the opposing defenses' attention.

Well, the easiest explanation is because Marvin Harrison Jr. is a better receiver…..haha.

This.

Is the best. This year.

While getting the other teams' FULL attention. All year. Every snap.

i doubt there was a "plan".
i think the coaches and staff have been trying to give him time to heal up, while he's been pushing and pushing to get playing time.

and i doubt that anybody on the staff thought we'd need him last saturday. and then, well, we all know what happened.

what's that quote from mike tyson? "... everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth."

This.

Is the best. This year.

With no decoys.

His 2 best games were with Wilson out, and then in the bowl game playing with 2 freshman WRs in their first starts. Even in games with those excellent WRs, he was the clear #1. He can also move around the field and is more versatile than MHJr.

His two best games of the year he didn't have Garrett Wilson and one of them (Rose Bowl) he didn't have Olave either. Trying to discredit what he did is like discrediting the Bama WRs from a few years ago or the LSU WRs in 2019. Olave and Wilson were certified studs...and JSN was better than both last year.

I think you're missing my point.
You insist on going back to his performance last year.
I'm talking about MH being the best this year.

JSN was one of the best last year.
MH is the best this year.

Again... the key phrase here is "last year".
I don't care who did what last year.
What I'm saying is that it's throwing shade at MH to keep talking about JSN being #1 this year... because JSN hasn't done squat this year.
Give MH the respect he's due.
