Big Blue Huddle

I just don't see it with this guy.  I don't see him progressing through reads, I don't see him throwing with touch.  I see a big guy who can throw the ball a mile but maybe not 5 yards over a DL's hands, with timing and accuracy.  I don't see a guy that can throw a slant pass with timing. 

I have been very wrong before and I definitely could be again with Cam, but if I were a GM I'd be very very nervous to take him near the top of the draft.  If Carolina goes for it, that would be one interesting situation where you'd have Clausen and Newton, pretty much polar opposites skillset wise.  I live in NC, so I'd kind've like to see how it plays out up close if it happens!

Personally, I don't think he even has the physical talents.  I see an athletic runner.  I don't see a gifted passer.  He's very much like Vince Young, who I've never been impressed with either.

Until baseball installs a salary cap, it's worthless to me.   

1) Derrick Morgan
2)  Sean Lee
3)  J.D. Walton
4)  Thaddeus Gibson
5)  Mitch Petrus
6)  Jonathon Dwyer
7)  Matt Dodge


I like Morgan better than JPP.  I think we're fine at DT right now.  I like the Joseph pick, but I definitely would have gone with Lee.  Got a good center in round 3 and kept the guard in round 5.  Picked up some RB depth with great value in round 6.  I wanted 2 LB's out of this draft and I think Lee and Gibson would have been great additions!

Would LOVE to see Lee in Giants blue!  Only thing that scares me a bit is that would mean our first two picks have real, substantial question marks.  JPP's inexperience and Lee's injury history.  But both of those, if they work out, could be real steals.

 

Tape > Short Shuttle.   

But good for JL. 

I couldn't agree with this article more, and have said so much every time this topic comes up.  The short shuttle is the definitive LB agility test, especially for MLB.  That plus game tape gives you a great idea on a LB prospect.

So, has anyone figured out what akrd's problem is?  Seriously- why the relentless bashing?

I am bi-polar. Got a problem with that? If you need to call out posters after a win, you might as well be too.

Seriously, I could care less what you think of my opinion. But if you need to call me out how I express myself on a player or play-calling - you have deeper issues than I do. If you don't like what I have to say..... IGNORE ME!!!!

How hard is that to do?

If you are bipolar- seriously, take your meds.  I'm not saying that in any negative way, I have a brother-in-law that is bipolar and....meds are good.

Whether you are or are not, you might need to chill out a bit during games.  Relax.  Turn the computer off.  It's just a game.

Man, I miss Erik Howard.  One of the most underrated NT's ever.
