I can still remember watching that game - one of my favorite all time.  It was a prime time game wasn't it? 

2008 Bucs at Panthers MNF: https://www.panthers.com/video/nfl-throwback-double-trouble-jonathan-stewart-deangelo-williams-mnf-2008

There can only be one J-Stew. That guy was just built like a truck. Brooks strikes me more of an all-rounder that can do just about anything.

I loved jStew but let’s not forget he was almost always held out from practice  due to some nagging injuries 

Who the fug cares.

Stewert coming out of highschool.

 

Brooks in highschool.

 

 

 

Different games even then. Back then, big bruising backs were still a thing so some naturally stout kids with speed played RB and tried to become that. 

 

Brooks grew up in a time where RB can be the skinny, shifty guy. 

 

Good news is college packed on muscle. Could keep adding

Stew had it all.  Strength. Speed. Vision. And incredible balance. 

Defenses had to gang tackle Stew. Very few could do it 1 on 1.

Texas listed him as playing at 207.

216 may have been a combine weight, and those are of course always reflective of real-world 

 

 

His tape definitely looks more like 207.  Someone just compared him to Gurely who actually played in the 220's in college and he looked a lot different than Brooks

On the surface, CMC seems a more apt comparison to brooks than Stewart was.  Clay Matthews once said that Stewart was the toughest running back in the NFL to tackle.  Brooks doesn't seem like that kind of player.

He is bigger than our starting QB. I don't think we can ever tell another guy he is too small for a position and keep a straight face.

Texas has him listed as playing at 207. Combine weight doesn't mean crap, with Bryce being Exhibit A.

Even if he is 216 off-season, that is still 19 pounds lighter and unlikely to be maintained in-season. But feel free to keep being wrong and posting moronic nonsense while doing it.
