Mike Craft has HIGH expectations for Shaq

  The fact is, is that even without Craft saying anything, any fan who knows our system, knows the NFL, is familiar with what I'll call the general player developmental curve, and, most importantly, has seen Shaq play shouldn't be surprised at all if he makes the greatest impact of his career thus far this season, even up to the level of Pro Bowl whispers. At least, that's the way I see it.

 

Most fans are aware that for the vast majority of kids, it takes 2 years to catch on to the NFL game. Where their 3rd year is when the game finally slows down for them. The main reason it takes so long is usually because it takes that long for their work ethic and smarts to finally catch up with their talent. Another reason is the fact that colleges just don't have the practice time to devote to the fundamentals anymore. So more kids are getting to the NFL, but are not actually ready to play.

 

For some, their 2nd year is when they get it. And for a handful, they seem to get it rather quickly. But these are usually the kids that have the whole package. Talent, work ethic, smarts, and coachability. And this is the category that Shaq belongs in. So it wouldn't surprise me one iota if he doesn't ball out big time this year.

 

So yeah. I'm in the "Can't wait to see where the kid is going" camp.
