From a stat perspective probably not, but I got to think losing to Iowa has to eat at him some.
You jilted?Uhh...no.
That said, he's not a big guy, and the the incredibly high # of hits he's taken this season (for a WR) are really taking a physical toll on him. He'll have lots of great film to show NFL scouts from the first half of this season, but I don't see him dominating every team he faces the rest of the way like he did in earlier games.
Iowa the past 3 years has struggled to stop Purdue by keeping them in front. They moved the chains. Not today.I felt that our D kept Jones in front of them as much as possible and let him have his stats. He got 104 yds. but no TDs.
I wasn't necessarily rooting for Charlie, but I agree with everything else. Football is changing.For those of you sore at Charlie...
Per Rob's article quote from KF. "Charlie plays with reckless abandon". That was not a compliment considering who said it.
Per Nico Ragaini..."I knew Charlie was good". That tells it all.
Charlie made the right choice. He was not a good fit for this coach/system.
The system needs questioned more than Charlie.
Does anyone know how many turnovers Charlie has this year?
Iowa year in and year out has about 90 percent of a team suitable for the playoffs (minus some depth). The 10 percent changes a lot. Question the system. Not Charlie. Found myself rooting for him in a weird way since I wanted Iowa to win.
I can see him having a Kupp type roll in the NFL but it’s unlikely.Ultimately, it won’t matter. Charlie is not an NFL level receiver. Maybe not even close.
Punt returner... Wes Welker. Similarities. Charlie is a bit faster in the 40. Nobody thought he'd make it. Wasn't drafted. Jones is getting drafted...lateUltimately, it won’t matter. Charlie is not an NFL level receiver. Maybe not even close.
