How much game film do I need to send you that you haven't seen already?

It's easy to peg one player for a team faltering. Great players often get that responsibility. I'll give you one season, sick or not, but to say that he hasn't proven his worth is disagreeing with any opposing OL we face.

Warranty and outsized expectations are two seperate things.

But, if we are to go down that road, does he get any credit for years like 2004 when he threw the team on his back and they still couldn't do enough to win (think Denver and the second game against Atlanta)?

How about 2006, when he again was a manimal (the game against Baltimore was one of the most unbelivably complete performance by a DE I've ever seen) and Jake's injury and other factors kept him out of the playoffs?

No, I guess not.

Not getting hostile. Just trying to understand your point of view.

Either way, in season, I think it should about the team not about the player. Whats done is done contract wise. He has at least 16 games to prove the coaching staff right and I hope he does.

What part of "half assed" do you not understand? He has done it his whole career.

B-ball, and in NFL. People with his skills, and ability would have taken the NFL by storm, yet he has remained an "average", one of the "better ones" when it comes to comparison with other DE's in the league.

He should dominate, and he doesn't. He doesn't have the heart, or will to do that, and why you people can't see it is beyond me.

The truth...is the truth my friend. :cheers2:

See again with the "truth" poo. You don't kow the truth at all because you only choose what you want to see and refuse to see anything else that goes against your bias.

You mentioned "warranty"...not me, so take that discussion up elsewhere.

So you give me 2 games he played lights out as a reason?? GTFOH!

Give me your address, and I'll mail you DVD's of recorded games where he looks like he is dancing with the stars.

So because he has such great athletic ability no one should ever stand a chance against him? He has a remarkable career in the NFL, one that is peaking now and has a chance at the HOF if he keeps it going at this rate.

Ask any team who they gameplan for and they will immediately spit out his name.

Opinions are opinions also my friend. So lets keep the internet tough guy image to a minimum and discuss things like civil adults. Sound good?

Didn't mean to come across that way, but I'm just sick and tired of all the excuses people make for him..

All is good, and thanks for the pointer. :cheers2:

1. Warranty was your metaphor originally, not mine.

2. I mentioned 2 seasons with three games as concrete examples.

3. Send me your address and I'll show you where every DE in history looks like he's dancing with the stars.

      With the first pick, don't draft a QB? Draft a DE? C'mon!

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      This draft is 2023 all over again, it's not hard to see. QB's who don't grade out as high first round prospects while at the same time, the following draft class looks to be loaded with elite QB prospects. Drafting a QB just because you need one (or making a bad trade to make said draft pick), when there isn't one worthy of that draft pick, is how you ruin franchises, just look at us right now.

      I upgraded to the S24+ a few weeks back. Very happy with it.

      LOL... Yet again proving you can't look below anything than what you see on the surface Mock drafts ARE NOT draft grades They are what people think will happen.  They are mocking teams taking QB's in the top 5 of the draft because that's just historically how drafts go regardless of the grades on the QBs.  Almost every draft expert, even those mocking QB's going high, have said time and time again that none of these QB's actually grade out as those type of picks. This is again, where I say you don't like to actually read what I have to say, because I already explained it. 2022 the exact same thing happened, mock drafts had guys like Pickett and Willis going in the Top 5 because that's just what teams usually do, but GM's listened to their prospect grades and knew they weren't worth taking that high, so they didn't. It's not to say QB's won't go that high this year, but it's to say that they aren't graded out as elite QB prospects.   And yes, I've never said I'm not a T-Mac homer. But me being that doesn't change that he will be the highest graded offensive player in this year's draft, at a position we haven't been able to solve since we lost Smitty.  Taking him makes all the sense in the world, my bias aside.
