Re: 2010 NFL Draft Thread
I'm so happy with the Raiders taking McClain @ #8. We have needed a strong ILB presence; this will provide it. Now onto Round 2!!

Re: 2010 NFL Draft Thread
For as long as Best can stay healthy and provide the home-run threat he is, I am very happy with the Lions draft. I feel they could have gotten him in the 2nd round but who knows what was going on behind the scenes.

Re: 2010 NFL Draft Thread
I'm pretty stoked about the Jets pick up of Wilson... He will make a great addition to the nickel and is a powerhouse on special teams.
I still think Cody would have made a nice pick up with Jenkins being hurt last year and all, but overall I am very impressed with the move this team has made during offseason and this draft pick is no different. On paper there isn't a team in the NFL right now with more raw talent. Hopefully that shows up on the field. |

Re: 2010 NFL Draft Thread
He did nothing with his opportunity in Cleveland. It really seemed like he was not playing with confidence. Either the offense was very limited play calling wise or he could not progress through his options down field last year. Teams did not have to respect any routes past 8-10 yards. It was pitiful. Painful to watch. He was not a trouble maker even though his stay in Cleveland was not very rosey. I wish him well, as soon as he plays for someone else besides the Broncos...

Depends on how he does in camp. I can't disagree with your comment but Quinn sucks.

Re: 2010 NFL Draft Thread
Seriously, do you have to knock a guy for being a well known Christian? It's one thing to evaluate his physical tools and ability to make it at the next level, but directing criticism or making a joke over his faith is weak IMO. In a world that lacks high character guys in professional sports and the corporate world, you'd think we'd be more happy to appreciate him on a personal level. It just shows how far we've fallen to resort to this level.

All of the comments about him not having NFL talent are a little off base. He has talent that needs refined. I'm not saying that he will be the second coming of Elway or anything like that, but if you look at the last 5-7 years of Denver QBs, this will be an improvement... if the coaching staff can restore some confidence into this kid and whip him into NFL shape. That isn't a huge stretch. He needs work, but NFL coaching and training are light years ahead of what he has had to this point. e.g. Tony Romo Get a kid comfortable, coach him, and work with him. Do not throw him into the fire. Very few QBs comer into the NFL and thrive if thrown into the fire.

Re: 2010 NFL Draft Thread
I apologize, maybe I should've used the phrase "crying like a little girl." Or would that offend our Girl Scout members?
My point is that Tebow will be eaten alive with his late release and insistence on keeping it *every damn time* he runs the option. Posted via Mobile Device |

Re: 2010 NFL Draft Thread
I would be part of the camp that thinks it would be possible to state the fact that you think Tebow will fail in the NFL without going out of your way to offend christians, girl scouts, or anyone else besides maybe Tebow himself.
Also, his new release/throwing action is much better if he can keep it.... but I still think he is not a franchise QB for the NFL

And my goal is not to offend the religious. This is a free country, that I served to defend. I welcome the fact that people can serve any god they wish, theoretically, in peace. It binds communities together in a shared expectation of behavior and beliefs. But so does common sense and a general acceptance of right and wrong, acceptable and unacceptable behavior. Mods, feel free to entirely delete this argument by me. But I was not making fun of his religion, I was stating that I think that Tebow truly believes that his heavenly father will intervene on his behalf. Last edited by OLS; 04-23-2010 at 01:02 PM. |

Re: 2010 NFL Draft Thread
now that was funny, and your second post clarifies your argument much better. However, my post was not in reference to you being offensive so no hard feelings

Re: 2010 NFL Draft Thread
Excellent, back to football. You are right it would be hard to really fairly judge the results.
As for the measuring stick, I would say 'look at the man'. He is a big boy and will be playing with big boys. At least for NOW, he has no fear it would seem. There might be mechanical problems, but at the height of the arguments, I saw Tebow make the toughest throws there are with NO trouble. They were on the 5 and everyone is thinking jump pass or something. He might have even faked that throw, and then RIFLED the ball out to a sideline button hook right across the goal line. Thrown PERFECTLY where no one could get it but his guy. Alot of people say that in FLA, all you have to do is put the ball as far downfield as you can and let someone fast run under it. It WAS true. But when Tebow has a throw to make, he usually makes it. And I hate him. People say wildcat this and wildcat that, and they are right as far as it goes. But there are teams RIGHT NOW who could have plenty of success with him, even under center. Granted, they would need a good O line to make it work for a 16 game season, but if Tebow is the best you have, and in Denver, he might BE, I think they can make it happen. And to be honest, EVERYBODY showed a little wildcat last year. |
