Collie made Max Hall a lot better than he actually was. Also Pitta. Go back and

Solid point

credfern84

10/26/16 10:26am

Hoffman for sure caught terribly thrown passes a lot. Just saying Collie

SandYFan

10/26/16 10:27am

Definitely a great route runner

credfern84

10/26/16 10:29am

A Max Hall comment would be easier to believe coming from literally anyone else

If Hoffman had Collie's work ethic and route running ability, he'd be in the NFL

He is, isn't he? Who just signed a practice deal?

Practice squad on the Montreal Alouettes.

I'm confused then, somebody just got picked up

BYUFBDAD

10/26/16 10:24am

Jordan Leslie. I edited the post and provided a link above.

That's it, thanks.

Leslie and Mitch are on the practice squad for the Browns. Just got picked up.

Yea seemed there were a few rumors that Hoff relied on natural talent

credfern84

I was pretty good friends with him....

I don't always pass, but when I do, I pass to Collie. -tmIMitW

I had a good friend who was his tutor for a couple of classes.

Hoffman wasn't nearly the athlete Collie was

donnerstag

10/26/16 11:23am

Collie was also sharing production with Pitta and some other solid receivers.

srey

10/26/16 10:25am

True. Good point. Hoffs numbers were probably inflated because of that

credfern84

10/26/16 10:27am

It also speaks to Hoff's talent to be the only target and still have crazy

srey

10/26/16 10:30am

Collie also didn't have to make the catch with DBs draped all over him because he actually ran crisp routes and got open

Kajdin

10/26/16 10:30am

Hoffman was not as fluid as Collie and could not get the same separation...hence

NOCAL_YFAN

10/26/16 10:31am

Yea shame he had the concussions

credfern84

10/26/16 10:37am

He did have a top QB, but there were other receivers to throw to and some on the

Collie was not just athletic. He was a technician and ran super crisp routes.

Collie Hoffman go 1-2 in my book. Whos right behind them at 3 and 4? Drage

Tuskaloosa Cougar

10/26/16 11:24am

Koz, Drage, Plater, Cahoon, but I'd be tempted to bump a few of those past Hoff

Mot

10/26/16 11:59am

Top WR

You almost sound like you're apologizing for saying Hoffman is better.

Collie had better hands, was faster, quicker, ran better routes, did better against press coverage....

10/26/16 12:43pm

Collie was so good that if he got single coverage, the QB was to throw to him, no matter what. Only the best get that.

macaroni

10/26/16 12:48pm

Collie was a master route runner, glue for hands, and faster.

AFcoug7

10/26/16 12:53pm

Collie was so good Chuck Norris asked him for advice.

CougarThug

10/26/16 12:54pm

Agreed. 100%. For me, Drage then Hoff. Both before Collie. By far.

Horacio Caine

10/26/16 2:49pm

Yeah, you are just flat out wrong on this.

BengalCougar

10/26/16 4:19pm

Also, Riley Nelson may be the best QB BYU has ever had.

Mike Ross

10/26/16 5:27pm

If you guys don't understand why Drage was so good you don't understand football

Horacio Caine

10/26/16 9:13pm

If you don't understand why Collie was much better, you're more clueless than

Mike Ross

10/26/16 11:15pm

I just remember the TCU game where TCU dominated the entire game except Collie.

Collie > Hoffman

Difference between collie hoff and Drage...

Horacio Caine

10/26/16 3:53pm

Haha Collie was not very coverable, and he was a better route runner than Drage. No offense to Drage...

BengalCougar

10/26/16 4:16pm

That is true. When Collie got injured he was leading the NFL in receptions

Tuskaloosa Cougar

10/26/16 4:24pm

He was going to be an all pro that year without the concussions. But according to Horacio, Drage and Hoffman...

BengalCougar

10/26/16 4:42pm

Drage was awesome. I was in school when he was playing. Collie was

Born2Fish

10/26/16 5:08pm

Absolutely agree, I was not trying to tear down Drage, he was very good. Just saying Collie was clearly better.

BengalCougar

10/26/16 5:09pm

One of the reasons we got killed a couple years in a row by tcu is because

Horacio Caine

10/26/16 9:20pm

Who did drage play against? TCU had top 5 defenses those seasons

srey

10/26/16 9:30pm

Love Drage, but he had a better passing offense to play in against weaker teams

Mot

10/26/16 10:37pm

Exactly, and despite playing in those very good passing offenses and playing 4 years compared to Collie's 3 years....

BengalCougar

10/27/16 1:38am

Collie played against TCU twice, he had over 100 yards in both games. Collie did well against press coverage...

BengalCougar

10/27/16 1:25am

And let's break down the TCU games Collie played in since you are so focused on those games....

BengalCougar

10/27/16 1:36am

I was a huge fan of Drage. Yuuuge. But Collie was the better receiver. Period.

unctoothman

10/27/16 6:48am

COLLIE benefitted from his QB? do you not remember who was throwing drage the ball???

macaroni

10/27/16 11:55am

They aren't even close.

Gerald-DeGroot

10/26/16 4:07pm

Hoffman was great, love him, but Collie is in a different echelon.

PJMort

10/26/16 5:12pm

Why doesn't anyone bring up Golden Richards?

ClackamasCoug

10/26/16 5:18pm

You are forgetting how great Collie was. It isn't even close.

10/26/16 6:38pm

Amen. Can we get rid of cahoon and hire him as WR coach?
