Blount and Martin..."best duo in the NFL"?

Thought I'd stoke the flames with some bulletin board material. LaGarrette Blount is smelling himself:

"We can definitely be the best duo in the NFL, with the schemes that we have, with the offensive line that we have, with the blocking and the confidence (Martin) has in me and the confidence I have in him," Blount said. "It's definitely going to be a really good fit. We have the potential to be the best backfield in the league."

Within the same write-up on NFL.com, Brian McIntyre correctly gave us our props though:

A professional athlete expressing confidence in his own abilities is nothing new or shocking, so we shouldn't overreact to Blount's comments. For now, though, between the Carolina Panthers' duo of DeAngelo Williams and Jonathan Stewart and the quartet of running backs on the New Orleans Saints****, Blount and Martin aren't even the best backfield tandem in the NFC South.

After I saw the highlights of their preseason game earlier this morning, I thought to myself "We're gonna beat their asses in the opener!" Can't wait!

he says one thing...your thread title implies something else.

there's nothing wrong with feeling confident about something you think you're capable of.

OK.

Definitely be the best is a little bit more than confidence.

But, for arguments sake, let's say that popcornpopper and TRD can definitely be the best duo in the Huddle.

a confident person believes they can definitely do it...period.

An overconfident person believes they can do something that is highly unlikely as well (particularly when there is absolutely no such precedence or rationality for their beliefs).

      Give Legette another season?

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Trade up for a project was dumb, he's gonna be 25 next month. By the time you're deciding on whether he's worth the 5th year option or a big contract you're already gonna be thinking about moving on soon either way.

      I mean this is legit AF statement....you don't spend that draft capital on a project just like you don't trade up for an injured RB either, which was done in the same draft.  That draft IMO was a necessary evil for DM to learn from his mistakes (I think he did but some may not). Also I have to mention I'm a big Coker fan and think getting him as an UDFA was obv a steal.  Coker is the better WR2 at this point as Legette and its not even debatable unfortunately.  Give him year 3 but don't expect much from him.  Continue in the offseason with adding as much talent and competition on the roster as possible including WR.  Or just trade his ass for peanuts and continue to build roster by any means.......

      Losing him was a huge loss. Look at how the Bears went from a 5 win team to now a 11 win team. The Lions offensive line is bad this year, secondary is bad and Campbell going for it on 4th down all the time has cost them games instead of taking the Field Goals. Goff is inconsistent as well.
