You kids still want to compare pro players?

That's kinda what we're doing. The data shows that Mizzou football in the Pinkel era has made very minimal impact on the NFL. Aldon Smith was the best shot to do that but we'll wait and see if he gets his personal life in order.

Nice post PB. I realize justin smith is a good player but he's getting pretty long in the tooth. Not sure of contracts but I'm assuming Talib is payed a bit more and I'm willing to gamble 32 out of 32 NFL GMs would take Talib today over Smith.

Decent debate though. Justin Smith doesn't nearly have the trouble with the law like most mizzou players. Might be why I missed him in my rankings.

LMAO Talking up Talib while bagging on Mizzou for trouble with the law? Have you completely lost your mind? LMAO

Aqib Talib is an above-average cornerback, the kind every team would like to have on its roster.



But you can’t talk about Talib without addressing the numerous off-field issues that have marred his career. Now that Talib’s tenure with the Bucs is over – he was traded to the Patriots earlier today – let’s take one last look at his history of character problems.



July 2008: Talib reportedly fights with fellow Bucs draft pick Cory Boyd at the rookie symposium, an event designed to help rookies make a smooth transition into the NFL. It’s unclear who started the fight or what was at issue.



May 2009: Talib strikes teammate Torrie Cox near the eye while wielding his helmet in an altercation with offensive tackle Donald Penn. Cox was attempting to be a peacemaker between the two when he was inadvertently hit by Talib. Cox required multiple stitches.



Asked about controlling his temper, Talib said, "I've definitely got to work on it. It's a family though. When you're out here with your brothers. . . I mean, you fight. It comes with being a family. We're all brothers out here. Me and Donald, we're perfectly fine today. It's behind us.”



August 2009: Talib is arrested in St. Petersburg for simple battery and resisting arrest for assaulting a cab driver from the back seat of the taxi. Talib later agrees to a pre-trial program with prosecutors and reaches an undisclosed financial settlement with the driver. The NFL hands down a 1-game suspension in 2010 for violating the personal-conduct policy.



November 2010: After a costly penalty in a close loss to the Ravens, Talib engages in a fierce argument with a game official and has to be restrained outside the team’s locker room. The official also responded with expletives. Then-coach Raheem Morris defended Talib, saying he didn’t do anything wrong.



March 2011: Talib and his mother, Okolo, are charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon after an altercation with the live-in boyfriend of Talib’s sister. Talib is accused of firing shots during an argument on a residential street. The charges are later dropped, according to Talib’s attorney, because the prosecution’s witness was not credible.



October 2012: Talib is suspended for four games by the NFL for violating the league’s policy on performance-enhancing substances. Talib, in a statement, says he took a single Adderall pill without a prescription. The drug is considered a banned substance under the league’s PED policy.

He's old as the hills but he's still really effective, and he plays the run as well as he rushes. He has had an outstanding career, props. After he retires Talib will be the best of that bunch depending if Aldon returns or not.
