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.

      Dan Quinn- Meet the Candidate- Part 5 of 12

      By WhoKnows · Posted

      The Texans also had an abundance of draft picks. Remember they drafted Will Anderson one pick after Stroud. Collins wasn’t much in his 2 seasons prior to Stroud as Davis Mills was terrible. Tank Dell was drafted the same year as Stroud. The Texans draft 7 2024 starters in 2023 and 2024. Add in Nico Collins breakout and Hunter as a defensive stud and you’ve got the roster they have today. Heck, they’ve got multiple starters from 2022 including another probowler. Our drafting looks like poo from 2018-2024 compared to that even with Young looking so much better. They drafted three pro bowlers at the key positions in 2022-2023. I keep saying that our drafting has got to get to another level. Some people think Morgan did a great job this year and someone even posted that even if Coker is a WR3 that it’s a great result as a UDFA. That’s BS. Coker needs to be a good WR2 at worst to make up for missing on first and second rounders at WR for years. Just look at the talent and depth the Texans got in the 2021-2024 drafts to see how much we need to do to really be playoff competitive year in and year out. The Texans look like they are there and a large part of that is “tanking” while starting Mills and trading Watson while he was worth something. We didn’t do that so we need to actually hit (XL and Brooks don’t count as a hit draft) on every draft while Young is still on a rookie deal.

      More importantly, it depends on who the retread’s QB is. Those dimes dropped were all Daniels. The OC, HC and QB coach, etc. had no impact on Daniels having his arm talent and skills. Coaches can help mold them but sometimes you’ve got a QB who transcends everything. McDermott didn’t make Allen and Reid couldn’t get all the way with Smith like he did with Mahomes.

      NFL Playoffs

      Umm, just to remind you, Cam Newton only has 3 career playoff wins and one of those was against a 3rd string QB with 3 TDs and 11 INTs in his career. Daniels is phenomenal and we were unlucky enough to pass on Stroud and trade away a pick that was one before Daniels. That said, don’t throw stones in glass houses. Saying Daniels is great doesn’t need to make fun of a QB whose playoff results remind us of our own historical playoff results.
