Jamaal Charles Needs to wear the STAR...

[MC KAos]

to all the people that are hating on charles, have you guys ever seen him play? he was AMAZING at UT, he won big twelve track titles so we know he is fast, plus he had great vision and was great at breaking tackles, something that julius jones couldnt do to save his life. The only problem with charles has always been the way he carries the ball, he is very fumble prone because of it and thats the reason he isnt gonna go higher than the third round

after his fumble against OU cost them a chance to tie win that game......Earl Campbell called him up and gave him a nice lecture on how to carry the football. After this lecture, Charles only fumbled 1 time the remainder of the season.....and he only nearly fumbled the ball 2 other times. I believe he has pretty much solved his fumbling issues.

Besides, if Tiki could fix his fumbling issues and still be very productive, no reason why other backs who suffer from fumbling issues can't do the same.

Fumbles are a very fixable shortcoming. If you've got a great talent at RB, fumbles are the last thing that should keep you from drafting him.

Not sure why people are sooo down on him (other than maybe Longhorn hate) the kid looks like he has the vision, feet and speed to be a very productive NFL back. To me he looks like a better running back than Chris Johnson who appears to be more of an athlete playing football at this point in his career.

I would not mind taking him with our secong first round pick.

He has the speed.....can he hit the hole hard and hang onto the ball? That is his problem
