I think CMC had a good season but IDK if it was incredibly dominant. We've seen RBs in the past get over 2000 yards and weve seen players like Adrian Peterson and Ladanian Tomlinson in somewhat recent memory truly dominate the league. 

I think CMC got a few other awards anyway at least. 

It was still a better season than any one QB had this year. Can't tell me Lamar or Purdy was better than CMC this season.

CMC dominated every game he played this year. The same can't be said of any other MVP candidate. The award was his, but it's. QB award now. Just like when Rodgers won over Kupp in the most dominant season for a receiver in a long time. He was unstoppable. Kupp led his team to a Lombardi while Rodgers watched and whined.

Larry Fitzgerald, Anquan Boldin, Reggie Wayne, Tory Holt, Hines Ward & Steve Smith should all be ahead of Andre Johnson.

Fitzgerald is a slam dunk first ballot hall of famer but he's not eligible yet. The others are a legitimate argument. I think there's just a logjam of comparably deserving candidates.

Great receivers generally have longer careers than other football greats. It creates an unintentional logjam, but there's an overall logjam of players in general because of the small number who are recognized.

Still, it should be hard to get into the Hall of Fame. And Steve Smith should definitely been in already... it's as if our team's advocate/presenter either isn't very good at it or is soft playing the guy. The reasons for his induction are on tape... miles and miles of tape. 

Edit to add: That being said, Julius Peppers is definitely one of the biggest game changers to ever walk onto an NFL field. He deserved that first ballot induction like no other. What a phenomenal athlete and fellow.

      I love the person and think he is starting to give in to the retirement idea.  I was just wondering if he is a liability.  I will come back more--I LOVE the game of hockey but was never around it.

      Mason Graham at NT?

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I am not a fan of drafting a NT in round 1. Your 3 Techs are your better athletes, in general, but there have been exceptions.  A player that does fit the Evero mold for a NT is Walter Nolan of Ole Miss.  He is a hair under 300 and is projected to be effective at both the three tech and NT positions.  Some argue that playing him at NT is a waste of his talents, however, and a NT in round 1 is a reach, imo.  He is projected to be drafted late first. Deone Walker out of Kentucky is a freakish athlete in that he can play every DL position and he is 6'6" and 345.  A bit raw, he has the skill set Evero covets, assuming his size is not a deal breaker. He has a second-round grade. I have to think we try to sign a veteran or go with Shy again (hope not).  Either way, the NT they may covet (considering all other needs) is Omarr Norman-Lott, a player who could drop to the early 4th round. He is effective from the 0, 1, or 3 tech positions.  Has good first step quickness (4 sacks in 2024).  Needs to work on technique like all others, can get washed.  Smart player--high football IQ. Finally, I would draft Tyleik Williams of Ohio State in round 2 if he were to somehow fall that far.  He is a great bull rusher and has freakish speed and power to play any DL position--from 0 to 5 tech.  He needs to work on some things, as they all do, but few have the ceiling Williams has.  I would interview him to see if he is a dawg and is willing to work hard to be the best because he has the tools to be great.
