I hate to say this because it comes off as so harsh against Prothro, but really you cannot even begin to compare Prothro’s career to Palmer.

Prothro had some electrifying moments, no doubt there, but if you look at the career as a whole, there is very little that really stands out. He played as a true freshman, but sans the kick return against Tennessee (which went all for not), he did nothing overly special, and likewise the same goes for much of 2004 as well. Truth be told, his entire status really comes from a three-game stretch in the 2005 season that included Arkansas, South Carolina, and Florida.

On the other hand, Palmer was a dominant player from the minute he stepped on campus. He was the best returner in the conference as a freshman, a solid receiver, and scored the game-winning touchdown against Auburn in 1991. He was the only true threat on the 1992 offense, and he was a 1,000 yard receiver to boot in 1993. And, hell, had he came back for 1994, he would have easily had a chance at the Heisman.

Again, I hate to come off as critical against Prothro, but in terms of real production, you can never really compare the two. Palmer did it for three years, while Prothro largely did it over three games.

but I would take Duece ANYDAY

and from what i saw from him in the spring game he has a similar running and style….of course im not comparing their abilities….

I think that’s how I came across it as well…I was watching Javy’s punt return against LSU in 2007 and this video was on the side.

I know I own a handgun I purchased in state, and I don’t have a concealed carry permit. However, it sits in a gun safe 24/7…and yes, I know you can’t use it in the damn safe.
