Quote from: Philosophers on March 28, 2024, 07:55:44 PMRodman did that after he became famous and established his high level of professional play not before he is trying to get to his first contract.

That's my concern for him.  Judgment.  Now he needs to be not drawing attention to himself this way.

That's a fair point about Rodman. He wasn't really "weird" on the Pistons. You're right. I think you make a valid point.

Well as it would be surprising. Then it would not be surprising. As JJ is a future NFL star regardless of NFL team. But hope he can really be in the league for the long haul. Question is if he will land with the Giants or where?! But he has a promising future.
Easter 2024!

Yeah he was a regular player on the Pistons but went off the reservation later in his career with the Bulls.

I think Rodman was always that guy, just didn't display is publicly.   To my knowledge William's hasnt painted his nails pink for a game.  He just lives in a social media era.

It's very obvious many here significantly Williams or are down on him as a prospect. That is fine, but it's kind of irrelevant. There is zero chance he will be a Giant in 2024.

Williams is still the blue chipper in this class. I think he's still in his own tier.

Could, is purely conditional which by itself is of little value. Would, is the more positive situationally whereas Should, is at the center of thus far 34 pages of rationalizing, opining and promoting. Some fun, huh?

It can be, I s'pose as long as we don't assume that past is prolog, or that the Draft is less than a- what's the word?- a stochastic process.

Cheers!

WalterFootball's Charlie Campbell's take on McCarthy written on March 26th:


3/26/24: In 2023, McCarthy completed 72 percent of his passes for 2,991 yards, 22 touchdowns and four interceptions. He notched three rushing touchdowns as well. Pro team sources have said McCarthy has a strong arm, throws well outside the numbers, and is a good athlete. However, they question his vision, as well as his passing instincts. McCarthy can be late throwing down the middle and misses vertically. Those sources shared they feel McCarthy's decision-making can be careless and reckless. Some sources have compared McCarthy to Daniels Jones, while others have put forth Will Levis instead.

We'll see how good he actually becomes. Everyone here such firm views on all these prospects like they already know the outcome. It makes me chuckle how certain everyone seems. The reality is there is a huge range of possibilities with all these players, and nobody remotely knows where any of them will land, including people employed in the league who are more qualified than any of us to make these judgments.

I think in our collective heart of hearts we know you're right. But what better place than an anonymous message board as a platform to demonstrate that you are the smartest person in the room?  And if our posts elicit a laugh or two, all the better  ;)

Actually not my words. A quoteless copy that went under the radar by the author. Although applied to 34 pages of hype... yada, yada, yada.

Actually Ed it would be 34 pages if discussion and debate.  It's not like everyone is hyping the kid.

Actually, you could say that about every position, free agent, or position.  I still remember how absolutely certain I was that the Giants HAD to sign Braylon Edwards to take the place of trigger finger Plexico, and how completely wrong I was.  Perhaps one rare and small instance where age brought wisdom because now I'm not certain about a damn thing when it comes to football.
I'd rather be a disappointed optimist than a vindicated pessimist.
