Quote from: Jolly Blue Giant on April 02, 2024, 05:35:43 PMThere is no comparison. Engram never completely dominated every team he faced the way Bowers did, not to mention EE could not catch like Bowers (or even close) or run routes like Bowers. Two completely different players. EE was never mentioned in the top 5 or 6 players in the draft, because he wasn't a "game changer"...Bowers is
Quote from: Jolly Blue Giant on April 02, 2024, 01:54:04 PMGood info...thanks for posting. After going through a dozen of them, I still find Bowers intriguing as a possible pick at 6
"Bowers is one of the best prospects in the draft. He has high-level playmaking ability and the versatility to line up in multiple locations within the formation, including being featured as a motion receiver. Bowers is an offensive weapon more than a traditional tight end, with the open field balance, strength, elusiveness, burst and long speed to take it to the house almost any time he catches the ball with room to run.
His route running/hands/balance/toughness/vision/speed profile is special; few have that combination of high-level traits. The bottom line with Bowers is that he has the high-level athletic traits and elite ball skills to develop into one of the NFL's best receiving weapons. He can line up in multiple locations within the formation and present matchup issues for the defense.
Bowers lined up in multiple locations in the Georgia offense, including snaps at boundary X on the back side of trips; he was featured on jet sweeps to take advantage of his speed and run-after-catch."
From another site: "He can be utilized as a receiver split wide, in the slot, or in a traditional tight end role, offering flexibility in offensive schemes. Yards After Catch (YAC): His ability to gain yards after the catch is notable..."
Just overall, an offensive juggernaut and future All Pro. He's basically a bigger/stronger WR with elite skills to get open and has great character and work ethic
Quote from: DaveBrown74 on April 01, 2024, 07:14:40 PMHow was what you just said to me "speaking in general terms"? You were very specifically referring to what I wrote in my post and lecturing me on something that I wasn't even doing.
If you want to say you misunderstood or misspoke, then that's fine, but if not, at least own your own words.
Quote from: DaveBrown74 on April 01, 2024, 05:13:37 PMBefore you hand out lectures to people, I recommend re-reading their posts and making certain you understand what they have written.
I gave a list of players whose stock dropped due to "character concerns" or off the field problems. Nowhere in my post did I say or even remotely imply that the various reasons for each player being on the list were equal or even close in severity. There was nothing in my post that suggested I think this.
That you couldn't understand this, and that you would then claim I think smoking weed is equal to beating up a woman would normally be something I would take exception to, but it is so absurdly preposterous that I can't simply take you or your post seriously.
Quote from: DaveBrown74 on March 31, 2024, 11:31:04 AMBeing so hell-bent on "intangibles" that you steer clear of anyone who had "smoke" around him is a methodology that would have eliminated a lot of players from one's draft board who ended up being good if not great NFL players:
Micah Parsons
Brandon Flowers
Navorro Bowman
Laremy Tunsiil
Frank Clark
Alvin Kamara
Tyrann Matthieu
Joe Mixon
Those are just a handful of examples.
I'm not saying it's a bad approach to steer clear of anyone with even a minor incident or minor rumors on his resume. But anyone who wants to take that approach needs to own the fact that they're going to miss out on a lot of good to great NFL players with that approach.
For me, it's case-by-case. Young people make mistakes sometimes. That doesn't mean all of them are long term bad apples.

Quote from: EDjohnst1981 on March 30, 2024, 04:51:34 PMIf anything, he ought to credit for winning 3 games with DeVito
Quote from: Bob In PA on March 24, 2024, 09:44:28 AMMaybe Jones doesn't have the "innate trait" (think fast, play slow) but I'd ask Lombardi to get out there behind the Giants' offensive line and show me how! lol NOT ONE WORD ABOUT THE OFFENSIVE LINE. Two thumbs down.
As for the QB's discussed, he's not hearing much. I say that because mostly he talked about the various types of scouts and what they look for, as well as the various things HE looks for when evaluating a QB.
None of that is something he "heard" but rather his view of the drafting process(and I agree with all of that).
