So.... You use stats to say why you don't like someone, then tell another poster to present their stats and you'll look at it... but when I use stats to directly refute your stats about him in games vs ranked teams, as you looked at a 4 game sample and I showed you the full 15 game sample, you basically say stats don't matter as much as other things. Okay. -
YOU brought up stats, as I did. Now you want it to be about something else. Secondly, the point was does he love football. Do you think college success equates to NFL success if a player is not dedicated to the craft? He could be the real deal, but this shifted from his work ethic and attitude to stats. Stats means that he had some degree of success vs. the competition he faced. I am not saying he can't play--I am saying that I would not want a player who had that kind of approach to preparation. I don't owe anyone an explanation and you really are not in a position to make excuses for him--you don't know. I am saying "red flag." Sorry if that upsets you. To prove his attitude, you went with college stats--I can tell you that every level you elevate--from High School to college and college to pros--there is a process of elimination that is so strong, only 1 out of 100 high schoolers get scholarships to college, and only 50% of the first round draft picks succeed in the NFL. So no, I do not want a person in the first round who brags about not watching game film religiously. This is not about how good a player he was in college--if that is your point, nobody is disagreeing with you. However, since you went stats, I wanted to look to see how he did in big games against big players last year. He was not bad--but nothing said top 10 pick to me. There are players in this draft who had great stats and are day 3 players. Edge Antwaun Powell-Ryland is a day 3 prospect. He had 16 sacks in 12 games and averaged about 4 tackles per game--better than some rated higher. Should he not be a first or second round pick, based on his college production? TMac ran a good 40 at his pro day and made some announcement about not wanting to hear more about it. However, if he did not run before then, people rely on his game tape to estimate his speed-he was faster than people thought and he felt it was his place to announce it to the media. Meanwhile, Restrepo plays FASTER than his 40 time and people were shocked to see a 4.8. There is enough beyond your stats to suggest that investing a top 10 pick on him could backfire. That is all people were saying. Was he a good college player--yes, but he would have been the fourth or fifth WR last year. I think Jax loves him, so it may not matter. -
Currently I believe the number is 2.5 adding another would make them the pats.... Nope, the souls of DBs...
