FearLess Price Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 17 hours ago, Boyst62 said: Where do people get this notion that picks mark quality in corners? Good corners aren't thrown to but they can catch. And that's a residual effect from Gilmore. He can't catch but he was good, when he got the chance for an INT he never caught it. If Gilmore could have caught the ball be should have than he would be thought of much differently Lattimore contributed more in a shorter amount of time. Picks are important. Not the end all measurement stick but those are game changing, momentum swinging turnovers, you cant try to downplay their effect on the game.

Real McClappy Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 Really BS he was not even up for consideration. Whatever though, if he played for the Pats he prob would have won it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
