[QUOTE="easyk83, post: 498257, member: 8895"] Let me apologize for my initial sarcastic remark, it was too familiar. However, I do think that the SEC competition argument has become something of an old saw. Trotted out too much, used too often and quite frankly I find it suspect. Yes the SEC is dominant but consider which two schools produce the lionshare of the players from that conference, LSU and Alabama(yes Georgia and Floria do produce quite a few NFL players as well). Is a player at Alabama really facing a higher level of athletic competition that let's say a player at UCLA or for that matter Baylor? I'm not so sure when you're actually playing for the team with the most athletic talent in the Country. Of course when it comes to players from South Carolina, Vandy, TN and Ole Miss well yes their performance against the likes of LSU and Alabama certainly does provide some valuable insight. As for this last question. Perhaps but I'd argue that the analysis from scouts and his performance in the Senior Bowl suggest that he really did improve and improve substantially. Furthermore I'd argue that even if the players he faced at USC/Stanford aren't what they were in 2011 I would argue that the physical talent is most likely comparable given the quality of those two programs.
