Fred outperformed Lynch, because Lynch was a dunderhead and didn't want to be in Buffalo. I've done the eye test and I stand by what I've said. Define talent. U mean pure athleticism? Fred was plenty talented. He had to beat out every RB he’s ever competed against from numerous leagues. Draft position isn’t all based on “talent.” It’s measurables also.

Point taken about the Wonderlic but it just shows how Josh has these little traits that other qbs just don’t seem to...and yeh Shady has never been scared to voice his opinion about his own teammates or coaches so when I heard him saying yeh this kid is legit...I thought hmm then I saw the Cleveland Preseason game and I knew this kid was different and we maybe seeing greatness if they can clean some stuff up

McCoy was "NFL ready", Jackson needed more time to learn. 1
Boxcar Posted March 7, 2021 Posted March 7, 2021 This is kind of random I guess, but slightly related to the topic at hand, does anyone else get annoyed by #ChiefsKingdom? What does that even mean? Chiefs are named after Native American tribe leaders. They didn't have a kingdom. Kingdom makes no sense in the context of their team name. It also sounds clunky and stupid and I cringe every time I read it.

He might actually win an NFC Title Game once in a while... What Brady has done to play this long is very simple: an insane, almost maniacal dedication to diet, fitness, and study, plus a little bit of luck in terms of injuries. It's not complicated, but few (if any) can keep it up because you have to sacrifice so much for it. If a guy's body holds up and he's really good then he could play well into his 40's. It's the "body holding up" part that is the kicker. Peyton Manning would still be playing if his body didn't fall apart on him. He had the same intensity as Brady but his neck/nerve issues took him out of the game. No amount of yoga or avocado is going to help degenerative neck issues. QBs that are top notch actually get better and better as they get older. Brady has won the majority of his Super Bowls AFTER age 37. Just think about that. If he retired when guys used to he would have 3 rings. I still think it’s amazing that Eli Manning and Rivers played as long as they did without ever missing a game due to injury.

Well, Eli would just sack himself before the other team got a chance, so that helped, I think. 1
