If the shoe fits, wear it proudly.? Nothing about my stance is shortsighted at all. This is something I’ve noticed for years about a select few. When they don’t like a player, they’re extra critical.?l When they like a certain player , they throw around the same excuses they claim others do for the player they don’t like.
Neither the Colts or the Bengals had a brand new HC & a brand new OC. Neither the Colts or the Bengals fired their previous HC & OC twice in the previous two seasons.
It's not defending a player to say I'm going to give him three years before I close the book on him. That's all I said.
Do you by chance notice when you're doing the same thing?
I'm pretty sure I defended Watson up until that day he said he didn't want to be in Houston.
Don't know what more you need to see. Sometimes it doesn't take 3 years.
Once Watson was drafted I don't recall posting one way or the other on him. Until the *hitstorm hit, in fact, I was rather in his corner, about like I'm now in Stroud's corner. But I don't ignore facts.
They still drafted their franchise quarterback and built around them.
Then I wasn’t talking about you Numbers. And again when he got hurt against Dallas and played the following week, why didn’t we question those who we’re questioning his decision making, holding onto the ball too long and etc?
Unless you're a first round QB, you're not gonna have that much of a chance.
I wasn’t talking about you either then. And no I am not extra critical on any player unless it’s warranted.
Baller was very much in Mill's corner his rookie year and early in the second year until Mills continued to be inaccurate.
Mills didn't have decent blocking last yr either. Stroud's about to find out how the other half live. This ain't Columbus anymore.
The backaswards has continued.
Like with Carr
How would you compare Stroud to Lawrence coming out of college?
What spreadsheet lead you to this conclusion.
To be honest, I didn't watch enough of Lawrence's game tapes (and really do some research about his team and the opponents that he faced) to have a strong opinion.
Tell me of all the teams that had followed your method.
That doesn’t mean it will happen to Stroud. It didn’t stunt D4 growth.
I do agree with the article. I think as long as the D has geled pretty well our pass rush should be outstanding. On 610 yesterday about 6pm (they have it in podcast form) I think this is the right one. That some feel Anderson is going to end up being as good or better than Watt. I will not compare him to someone like JJ yet. They reason he could be better than JJ is more speed and he can move around the D as a D lineman or line up as a LB. Making him get fewer double teams and due to his speed and ability, be able to cover a TE or RB. Not sure if this is going to end up true. But, I 100% feel that he no question has some amazing ability that could allow him to be as good as JJ in about 3yrs. Just my opinion.View attachment 12575
2023 AFC win-total projections: Chiefs, Bengals, Bills reign; Dolphins, Steelers miss playoffs
Who will make the playoffs from the highly competitive AFC North? Will Aaron Rodgers lead the Jets to the postseason? Analytics guru Cynthia Frelund reveals her projected win total for each AFC team.www.nfl.com
Anderson isn’t on the same level as JJ as a pure athlete. JJ’s SPARQ athletic score is basically off the charts, 99th percentile. We forget how crazy and unreal of an athlete JJ was. It’s not a fair comparison. WAJ measureables were very good 76th percentile, putting in the top 25% at the position, but WATT displayed the kind of athleticism that is extremely rare. When they are throwing out JJ’s name before WAJ has even played a down, it’s kinda setting the expectations way to high to early.
Keep reading this thread, and someone will tell you.
By the same token, Watt was not nearly as skilled as Anderson entering the league. No one in the league would have considered a raw Watt over Von Miller entering the draft. But J.J. kept working, and his work ethic, tenacity, combined with his ability made him an all time great. That's what Ryans sees in Anderson. That's what J.J. sees in Anderson. I think Anderson is entering the league underrated. Because if everyone knew how good this guy is going to be, the Texans would not have had a chance to trade up to get him.
Sure hope your right...He def shows the work ethic and the humility to be great...hope he continues to work hard and progress and STAY HEALTHY...id hate to see an injury derail this young mans potential.
I raise you here.
