Royale with Cheese Posted May 31 Posted May 31 I am sure it's about 1,000,000,000 to 1 that Gable Stevenson wins the DPOY. Just put $10 down and you get a new house...possibly. 3 1 Quote
Brianmoorman4jesus Posted May 31 Posted May 31 There’s almost nothing I understand less than signing a guy to play football (at this level) who hasn’t played before. There are prob 2k fringe NFL level players that are available that have a lifetime of football experience…..this is a move you make in a lower tier league. I just hate doing stuff like this. What’s the best case scenario? Just a waste of a roster spot. 2 1 1 Quote

Turbo44 Posted May 31 Posted May 31 He's a ridiculous athlete just like the English 7th round pick tackle. Both are no risk and both are probably 99% headed to PS. 1 minute ago, JGMcD2 said: https://youtu.be/WuGO6Krnkdg?si=CRP_JH8lgWCfP98b 6'1" 275.... same height as Oliver I believe. His lack of weight is probably the bigger issues, not to mention lack of experience. 1 Quote

Football leverage is different. I don't see anything coming from this but maybe this guy is different. According to some sources Brock Lesnar almost made the 53 man roster with the Vikings, the Vikings considered having him as a reserve defensive linemen. Lesnar was cut as he was beaten out by Spencer Johnson who ended up having a 9 year NFL career. I think the Vikings felt Lesnar wasn't going to take a Practice Squad spot so after Lesnar was cut Lesnar went back to pro-wrestling for a stint in Japan before doing MMA both more lucrative than being a PS player. 1 Quote

What’s the best case scenario? Just a waste of a roster spot. You have 91 spots that need to get down to 53 (+ Practice Squad) You have 38 guys who won't make the roster. Do you allocate spots to 38 guys who have college and pro tape that you know likely won't make it? Or do you allocate 37 spots to guys who have college and pro tape that you know likely won't make it and then 1 to a World Class athlete that is a complete wild card? It's extremely low risk and with way more upside than any of the fringe NFL level players with a lifetime of experience. The lack of experience is the selling point here.

What’s the best case scenario? Just a waste of a roster spot. It's a lottery ticket. The 90th guy on the roster almost never makes it. Why sign a fringe guy that you know is just that. Better to throw a dart at someone who has ridiculous athletic skills. They worked him out so they must have seen something. I have the same philosophy in FF redraft leagues (not that that means anything). In the late rounds, why pick up a WR that will go for 3 TDs and 450 yards? He is never going to start for me. If I have injury problems, someone like him will be sitting on the waiver wire. I'd rather shoot for the boom or bust. 2 1 2 Quote

BontitaBills Posted May 31 Posted May 31 This guy is mean and nasty. Will be the most athletic player on the team. My bet is he makes plays for the Bills this year. Quote

Football leverage is different. I don't see anything coming from this but maybe this guy is different. Well, thats not the entire story. Lesnar was in the combine that year and had a great showing and a lot of teams were interested in him. The buzz was real at that point. However, he got into a motorcycle accident when a van hit him a couple months later and that messed him up. He ended up with several injuries, and that had most teams out on Lesnar at that point until the Vikings decided to still bring him in even though he wasn't fully recovered from the injuries yet. Because his groin was not yet healed, he didn't officially sign with the Vikings until late in the offseason at the end of July. So he was way behind, especially having not played football since high school. Vikings had no choice but to cut him a month later when finalizing the roster. Brock didn't try football again after that, he had already turned his sights on MMA and started training for that where he went on to be champion. So we will never know what could have been for Brock in the NFL, the accident wasn't even his fault. It was an unfortunate development, but he wowed at the combine and flashed signs for the Vikings. But he was just too far behind to make the roster and he also had equal desire to try himself in MMA which is where he went instead to great success. Edited May 31 by Alphadawg7 1 1 3 Quote
