Hope James Conner Stays Another Year!

[CaptainSidneyReilly]

James won't break Dorsett's Records on Rushing Yards, but he will break Dorsett's 63 TDs Record! I would love JC to stay another year and go for Heisman.

-He should. He could improve his draft stock considerably.

 

[Safety Blitz]

-He should. He could improve his draft stock considerably.

I think he goes. NFL knows what he can do. Stock can't improve too much. No need to risk injury while taking a non-profit beating.
I wish him great success.

 

[Las Panteras]

No he shouldn't

He is a mid rounder this year and next.

He has to go....and he will.....

 

[UPitt '89]

Whatever he decides, I'll support him.

As long as Matt Canada is retained, the offense will be fine either way.

-The RB class is loaded this year. It will be far weaker next year.

 

[Delpanther]

No he shouldn't

Wrong- he could work his way up to the third round minimum with the kind of year next year he had in 2014. That's where he was rated after 2014...yinzers always preaching jump, jump jump

 

[President Stache]

I have no idea what he will do but to say he couldn't improve his stock is just mind numbingly stupid!!

He had chemo end in May... IN MAY!!!!!!

He is not back to full strength. Price stayed another year he went from I drafted to probably 3rd rounder.

Conner can go 5th round now he could definitely improve

-He could easily improve his stock. He's only 21 for goodness sake. And this year he finally showed he can catch the ball out of the backfield and have a little Marshal Faulk in his game. Next year he could explode like 2014 and get back into that 2nd round discussion. He's still a tad slower than what he was, but he, along with the offense, has gotten better all season.

He could also have a career ending injury.

There's arguments both ways .

Whatever he does, he has my everlasting gratitude.

Totally agree.

And Pitts team will be awesome either way. We are stocked on offense now

I just think in his case it's better to stay because he actually can reach another level and has injuries to prove he his over

 

[CaptainSidneyReilly]

I don't know, JC looked like he was having so much fun, JC and Narduzzi have a a special relationship. I think he will listen to Narduzzi intently and they will make a Mutual Decisions! I agree the NFL is hard to turn down anytime but this is a very Special Man! He has been a blessing and surprise from Day One at Pitt!

I am sure you will hope to tell me "I told you so"

But sadly for you . ..connor will leave...and I won't expect a mea culpa

No he can't. Anyone advising him to stay in school does not have his best interests as a priority and is doing him a severe injustice.

 

[runshadyrun]

at the game, i was hoping Narduzzi would put him in on the last play or two and call a timeout to take him off the field to a standing O...

Great suggestion and can be used in the Bowl Game if Conner's goes Pro! I noticed that too, and why just a guess he could stay but must agree with most here. It was just a Wish, not a Hunch!

I do think Pitt needs a "Pitt James Conner Award" and name for any Players in the Nation, and give serious consideration of Retiring his Jersey!

agree and NFL teams will have issues with him less than a year coming off chemo

Hail to Pitt

If he jumps, genius, we will never know if he could have worked his way up to a second or third round pick had he stayed another year. Duh......

 

[Las Panteras]

You state he should stay. I say he should go

Since I will be proven right, you will not be telling me I told you so

Nothing to do with a possible higher round. he is leaving as he should

Cheers
