Side Note: The Lions are continuing to try and bolster their offensive line, this time with the unusual move turning in a "draft card" 21 years early 😳

Can't say I blame 'em though 🤔

Uh... 6 months and 31 lbs?!?!?!  How is that even possible when the kid can't even eat solid food yet?!?!

Good side discussion on WR 40 times. I think that although it's a factor in the overall decision, it would be just one of many, and should never be the decision itself. Excluding a WR from consideration simply based on this one portion of their overall game just seems stupid to me.

 

Like I'd said, good discussion that made me curious about some of the all-time greats. Take this as just food for thought:

Tim Brown - 4.39

Art Monk - 4.5

Randy Moss - 4.25

James Lofton - 4.67

Andre Reed - 4.4

Michael Irvin - 4.52

Terrell Owens - 4.38

Steve Largent - 4.7

Calvin Johnson - 4.35

Lynn Swann - 4.5

Marvin Harrison - 4.3

Cris Carter - 4.58

(GOAT) Jerry Rice - 4.71 (although this is most likely incorrect and would be 4.55-4.59 it seems)

 

My point being, some of the best WRs in the history of the NFL had extremely fast times, slow times, and mostly in between. To me, Jerry Rice will always be the most amazing receiver and he was never blazing fast in the 40.

 

For today's perspective- in our division, the guys who literally shredded us this year:

Mike Evans - 4.54

Drake London - 4.53

Not really applicable for the Saints, as they lean more on their RBs and WRs are by committee it seems. Their highest with 548 yards for the year was Juwan Johnson - 4.58

Goat is Rice, but like Jordan, he was the insane never stop training go to the extreme. Not many guys like that. Imagine if Moss had had that mentality. Sheeiiitttt

I think the biggest "what if" for an already great player is Shaq.

What if Shaq had the work ethic of some of these other legends and spent countless hours in the gym working on his free throws and keeping his weight down.  Just the amount of points he'd have added from the line, combined with teams then not being able to constantly foul him too, he'd have done crazy things.

He'd have been the undisputed GOAT, even more than Jordan or Lebron

Interesting argument. I'm in my mid 40s I've never seen anyone physically like Shaq. Dude was insane, moving that way at that size is wild.

The question of whether to take the great player who skates by on his talent or the very good player who always gives 100% is one of those endless debates.

I'll take the later every time if given the choice.

      I think he did a solid job.  Honestly I liked his post game interview the best.  He gave himself a C and said he left a lot out on the field.  That kind of attitude can carry him far.

      This is lacking a fairly considerable amount of context. For one, Adams(age 22) started 12 of 16 games, had 38 rec, 446 yds and 3 TD's on 66 targets(18 less, with 2 less games started). The main thing missing here is that the top two WR's for Green Bay that year combined for about 2800 yds and 25 TD's. Now if you want to throw a more accurate dart at Adams, take a look at year two. This year the production was spread around considerably and Adams didn't stand out from that pack(pun not intended).  So, if XL struggles mightily this season, I would probably keep that comparison in your quiver to counter argue. I would suggest that I don't think that scenario is probably very accurate for most HOF caliber WR's taken in the first round over the past 15 or so years. Adams was the 89th pick overall, as well. A little different hill to climb than XL, although not massively.

      to clarify I am not referring to Will Levis.  Not knowingly.   I just made that up and tried to use a reasonable guesstimate of what else was done.  That sounded in the ballpark.  At one time I did look it all up and there were several teams that had much more successful days downfield.   If that happened to be Levis' actual numbers than it's more of a lucky coincidence.  If memory serves, it wasn't just Will Levis that brought the claim into question, it was SEVERAL teams had better days.  and you are missing my entire point of the subjective nature of it all.  If PFF employee Doug watched Bryce's film and then used his same unique subjective vantage point to grade all 31 other starting QBs.  Then dumped into into a spread sheet, it would a subjective Doug take but at least it would be a level uniform subjectivity.   The grades are done by various people.  All watching and applying their own subjective view to a play.  Everyone isn't going to grade incompletions out the same.  Or completions.   So when you dump it all into a spread sheet and hit sort.....it's not actually a statement of fact as portrayed.  Which is why you sometimes get some head scratching stuff.  I'm not reframing anything.   I don't think.  I just wasn't going to look it all back up so I was talking vaguely off the general issue I have with PFF and treating any random claim they make as the truth.
