as recently as a couple weeks ago. I've never been impressed with Blackmon's quickness or speed (and I definitely haven't been impressed by his route running or his mastery of the offense). I've been far more impressed by guys like Juergens and Dye than I ever was with Blackmon.

Unless he truly has been hampered by injuries, and he's suddenly getting over them to return to his full speed, I don't expect him to ever be the speed merchant/deep threat we all thought he would be. I'd be very surprised if Blackmon emerged as a major contributor or playmaker during his remaining time at BYU.

Edit: I remember watching him practice and scrimmage before last season and thinking..."Wow...he's either taking it very easy...going half speed...or he's not as fast as we all thought he was".

Every play I have ever seen in a real game since confirms my assessments.
