Luke & Shaq Are A Very Good Pair


Untouchable

Recommended Posts

Remember when folks called Shaq a 1st round luxury pick that was a bust and would never be able to produce like TD did? You know... the same ones that said he couldn't cover when the team was putting him in the buffalo nickel against slot WRs.

This 3-4 hybrid needs someone with his skill set.  He can play both 3-4 and 4-3 DE/OLB and cover.  Valuable.  He was not a great first rounder for the 4-3, imo.  I was not trashing him, and I have been wrong about so many picks (Luke, CMC, Cam, etc.) I never look back and point fingers.  :crying:

Why generalize and call them anything at all?  Every individual is unique.  I find the some of the teens and 20 somethings that ride around in the little loud hondas to be very annoying, but I still wouldn't generalize them.

 

Except for Cowboy fans.  Its ok to genralize them.  

I lived in South Carolina for 25 years....I "generally" found that they are 95% the same.  Very rarely did I run into a good 'ol boy that I would even classify as an individual.  They are kinda like the Borg to me and all think almost exactly the same.  Honda boys are annoying as hell and I can't stand them either.

Hate to say it, but I think it's possible we might have been better off in the last few seasons had we gone to Thompson sooner.

To be clear, you didn't have to cut Thomas Davis to do that. All you had to do was give Thompson more playing time over him.

The thing is the scheme being run back then didn't favor him as much as this one does. Switching from 4-3 to a 3-4 has done wonders for several 1st round players they have.  Butler and Thompson.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
