K-9

Thurman not listed as the best pick at 40 overall instead of Strahan is a travesty.

I wish D Dawk was more outgoing.

Chad Johnson should know better. Stevie was a freelancer.

Robert James and Bobby Chandler, the two nicest and coolest players who truly appreciated us ball boys up at Niagara back in the day.

Spider 2 Y Banana on two.

He’s already a lock. A prediction I made after he threw an INT in the endzone in his second NFL game vs the Chargers.

Every GM, personnel director, and scout I’ve ever known over the years understands this well. 40 times, vertical jumps, broad jumps are used primarily to gauge athletic explosiveness which are key indicators for talent evaluators. That aspect of the combine’s utility means it won’t be de-prioritized by those charged with evaluating various results. Edit: I meant to add that in addition to the various explosion events, those talent evaluators also look closely at the stamina events as well. Like the bench press for example. There’s just so much more than just looking at prospects in shorts.

Hasn’t been for years now. And that’s a league wide reality.

Perhaps the greatest combination of physical gifts and lack of football sense in history. He had zero clue of how routes are run in tandem with other receivers on the field and would routinely run coverage into other routes and take away those options. It was almost comical.

I can’t help it if you don’t appreciate nuance when it has been obvious throughout this thread that different people have been assigning other value to their purchases over and above the “financial investment” you’ve been harping on throughout.

Glad you understand that profit is measured in different ways for different things by different people. You may think it silly of me to mention that, but since you’ve been harping on the financial aspects of the PSLs and the sales thereof for a while now, I thought you could use the reminder. Silly me.

In terms investment for financial profit, yes. In terms of investment for other things one values and enjoys, no.

It’s a shame he felt any remorse over the “wrong way” play because he more than made up for that throughout his career. Marshall, Larsen, Eller, and Page have a permanent place in league history.
