i dont care if he is the best of anything, he's doing his job very well and plays his *** off. i'll take him on my team anytime
Coker is a nice player and is having a great 2nd half to this season, but he still has one fatal flaw that eliminates him from any discussion of the best of anything, and that is his total and utter lack of speed.
He is probably the only starting RB in the B1G that is incapable of turning a gaping hole into a long TD.
He is working really well in Iowa's scheme right now, but saying that he is better than Montee Ball is just foolish and makes me question whether or not the person making that statement has actually seen either of them play.

This is just foolish. McCall has all of what, 9 carries on the year? Coker is not even close to being the same back as he was on Sept. 3. He is the best back on this team. Period.
Ironically your making more of an assumption based on 9 carries than I was, I said "might be", your the one making definitive statements. Thats foolish.
Im liking Coker more every week but McCall is going to be excellent, and IMO will at least be splitting carries evenly next year.
Had Iowa ran him in the fourth quarter against Minnesota he would have got near 300 yards.
He may be only a sophmore but a lot is going to depend on how graduation hits the OL.
You did see him bust those long runs vs a athletic missouri team yes? okay yeah thought so, once he starts rumbling he picks up his speed. He is 240 lbs dude, get real.
Props to Coker, he has really stepped his game up. Hes running with vision and confidence which were both lacking early in the year.
Coker may be the best starter in the league, its close between him and Ball, but the crazy thing is he may not be the best back on the team.
Next year will be the best group of backs Iowa has had since Young, Sims and Greene.
He had exactly one really long run against Missouri, dummy.
Outside of that one run, he has looked painfully slow in his career.
I even remember remarking at the time of the Mizzou run that he looked really slow then, as well.
Really, what is your deal? 40 and 50 yarders, thats not good enough? Like I said almost all teams have two starting backs. WTF with all the Coker BS? Dude is killing it on the field and is taking classes that Nebby players only dream of and yet you dog him.
Sounds like you have little pecker syndrome. Give a man credit where credit is due. Like I said give Brad and Coker and the OL credit.
Christ if you want to b!tch about some one, b!tch about Prater getting knock on his arse in a jam. Frigging wuss. Thats right last week I called out Binns and guess what, kid lite it up out there this week. Prater, you got
b!tch slapped, no way around that. Guess what the sign on the wall says, hard work beats.........................................
1. You will be banned if Miller reads this post. Check out the top of the board.
2. Just because you have a little pee-pee is no reason to project that "shortcoming" onto other people. Your wife said that she doesn't mind it that bad, so you just need to chill and learn to accept it.
3. Learn to read, nimrod. I like Coker. He's having a great year. But that does not change the fact that he is SLLLLOOOOWWWW and calling him better than Montee Ball and/or Herron is just sheer idiocy. He has a handful of long runs this year that any other back in the league would have taken all the way, EASILY.
