I can't believe you !@#$ers are still going over the "how many draft picks" argument

Aye the Philippines is huge into basketball. Pro league is fun. Lots of running and gunning. Soccer and basketball will always win out. All you need to play is a ball. Baseball is big in Taiwan, Korea, and japan. That is about it outside of the western hemisphere. O.J. Simpson is undoubtedly the best known nfl player in taiwan

lesean mccoy had a falling out with chip kelly. this is a point of emphasis.

Exactly

You serviced OJ Simpson?

Scouts in any sport are happy to be gainfully employed

Brian Brohm ends Aaron Rodgers era before it begins. https://www.google.com.tw/amp/s/syndication.bleacherreport.com/amp/19950.amp.html And Matt Barkely. He was a preseason first round pick.

Do his hands look small? I think they look small. I see fumbles. https://www.gannett-cdn.com/-mm-/9e1a3a02d5edfc3469079a39cc8f9bdb43fe8b1c/c=109-0-2320-2948&r=643&c=0-0-640-854/local/-/media/2017/05/14/Rochester/Rochester/636303797206227633-AP-17029686349020.jpg

This was my first game. Half the stadium didn't see bell break off the TD run on the first play of the game. It was bloody freezing.

Lol

That isn't the law

Ha!

Very true. No way my kid would ever play football. We live in Taiwan, so it is not a big probability anyway, but any sport that involves blows to the head is in peril. He was a bit if a taekwando prodigy when he was six, so they promptly started matching him with ten year olds. Saw him get kicked in the twice at practice and said that is it for taekwando. His coach is a cool guy who comes into my bar, maybe 50 years old, out of his gourd though. Repeats himself, forgets he ordered things, introduces friends of his to me when I have met ten times. This is pre-booze.

i hope, someday, we will be able to read a box score like that again. it was beautiful. smith, reed, thomas all with big nights. i don't think it will be lawson, watkins, mccoy, but it would be nice to half a team like our early nineties teams

!@#$ing traitors. Brady would have been crippled if he qbed in the late 80s, early 90s.

I do not think scouts subconsciously discount based on race, BUT, and I say this as a professional baseball scout, they definitely go with what they know works. Meaning, in my sport, if there are two players, more or less equal,one from the Dominican Republic, one from Asia, then virtually every scout I've known would go for the kid from the DR. There is more of a track record of success there. Very different sports obviously, but I can see how it may be harder to project a kid of east Asian ancestry who appears to be adept at cb in college. A scout would have far less to go on in terms which way the body will go, how the body will handle bulk, whether the speed will stay or go, etc...

read carefully, kiddo. did not say race, said genetics.

good take away. you're right. everybody is exactly the same. you too could be a world class marathoner if you just put your face to the grindstone and choke on your boot straps.

It is stupid to think genetics do not play a huge role determining athletic success. It is also stupid to think that a variety of other factors do not play a huge role in determining athletic success. Genetics is not synonymous with race. I guess Jamaicans and Kenyans would both be black, but it doesn't say much. However the distinct genetic makeup of Jamaican sprinters and Kenyan long distance runners certainly has a lot to say about their likelihood for athletic success. Jamaican long distance runners are garbage and Kenyan sprinters are garbage. It is also depends greatly on the sport. Football, or more specifically,cornerback certainly demands more than just explosive quick twitch muscles, though they don't hurt.

Again, 5th round pick for backup running back. What is the !@#$ing problem?

What did we get for marshawn? A 4th? I'd say a 5th pick for our number 2 back is pretty good.

Ha

I'll take this thread over the unwieldy 48 page one when I'm on my phone.

Who is this year's Donte Whitner? That's the real question.

I guarantee that was in Rex's first 100 days plan
