Quote:The board isnt about format , grammar or whether or not you like the information and how its presented. His post while lengthy was what he felt was needed to get his point across and present a player to the board. You could argue that he needed the entire post to do so and that there are others who gained information from his post.
Your post on the other hand served no purpose and added nothing football related to a football post. No argument could be made that you post was needed or warranted.
Thank you

Needs to be more concise, break it up some, and format it to make it significantly easier to read. That was my point.
I have the grammar police on the other line. They will be right over.
Quote:I don't get it. It's a discussion board. I share my ideas. I'm assuming that most people here can read pretty well. Do you not read books? Or are they not formatted in a way to make them easier to read. Do I need to double space for you? Why am I even wasting my time about a non-football comment here. Maybe because I'm new here. It's this type of crap that will eventually lead to my account deletion.
Your good dude keep up posts just like that. This board needs posters willing to share and look for information actively. Personally i only thought you should break it into 2 paragraphs as it does make my eyes shy away from a wall of text but overall it was a good post and a good draft hypothetical which you supported with info about the player and you own thoughts on why it would benefit the team.
To me it was the exact kind of post this board needs to see more.
Quote:He runs terrible routes and takes full advantange of Manziel running around until he is open downfield for a jump ball. He is easily bodied (my term for being hit easily and moved around once hit or during a catch. For example Megatron is rarely bodied on a catch-hit whereas Shorts is routinely rocked hard) despite his size and doesnt have elite or even amazing hands in terms of college receivers.
Watkins is 2x the receiver he is and so is Blackmon and its not close. Not trying to attack you as a poster but Evans isnt very good and im having trouble seeing why people think otherwise.
Personally i agree with haterade. We need way more than WR and if anything in the pass catching department it needs to be a big time seam stretch TE in the mold of Cameron Jordan.
I agree with this. Regarding the last part.....we do need way more and it will take time. As Pete Prisco says.....this team isn't building for 2014. But in 2015, look out for us. If a KEY piece of the puzzle is there at 1st round BAP......you take 'em.

Duly noted....thanks for the advice
Watkins is probably the best athlete at WR in this draft, but Marquise Lee is probably the better overall "WR". Now, that being said, which one will give you a better football player? Ever since watching the effect that Randy Moss had on Defenses with really nothing other than his speed, I say take Watkins. It's my opinion that nothing but nothing terrifies a Defense more than a threat to take the top off of the Defense.
Who wouldn't spend a top ten pick on Randy Moss?

You are correct sir. <read like Ed McMahon> Where do you think Detroit would be without Megatron? They might be a little ahead of Minnesota. Cincy without AJ? Bottom feeder. Atlanta without Julio? Oh wait.....they don't have him.....bottom feeder

When i saw the Moss comparison on another forum i didnt think much of it but the more he blows by defenders on the fly route the more i see it. Still have too many issues elsewhere IMO but if somehow we do end up with him what ever Qb we take in the 2nd will be a kid walking into a candy store with signs posted everywhere saying "take as much as you can".
No way defenses could stop Blackmon,Shorts,Watkins and Sanders.

In my little private world, I have Jameis Winston throwing to Watkins to pop the top off of the Defense.
After that, it's drag route after drag route to Blackmon.
To spice things up, it's digs and "hitch and go's" to Shorts.
If I'm bored, I throw wheel routes to Sanders.
It's a nice little montage I have.

Yes.....it is. I would love it. It might even be better than the days we had Smith and McCardell. Back then we really needed a good 3rd to compliment them

Watkins reminds me a bit of Donte Stallworth.

Dolphins WR Mike Wallace comes in terms of a pure speed WR. Wallace is for the most part a one dimensional WR. Yet, that one dimension, speed, led to Wallace getting a mega UFA contract from the Dolphins, after they won a bidding war with the Vikings. In the previous season, the Steelers even used the Franchise Tag on Wallace. If Wallace just had above average speed, he would hardly even see the playing field.

Pete Prisco? His claim to fame was his own claim that he spoofed Tom Coughlin into drafting SoCal Rob Johnson. We all know that Coughlin could pull a guy off waivers and win football games with him with a week's turnaround. Johnson looked good in a start against the Baltimore Ravens and was filed away.
Long story short, Prisco pimping SoCal Rob Johnson is the greatest bust in NFL history. Naturally, Prisco will decline to acknowledge his role in that fraud.

haha.....a lot of "experts" thought he'd be good........the trade that got us Freddy T was one of the best coups ever
If you guys really want a weapon for next year that doesn't require a 1st round pick, then we would do well to draft WR Donte Moncrief in the 2nd or maybe even third. Seriously, check the guy out. 6'4 or 6'3 that runs an unofficial 4'4. Projected to be a 1st rounder this year around this past summer, his production went down and stock was hurt due the emergence of freshman WR LaQuon Treadwell. He is wanting to go pro this year. Once again, Donte Moncrief WR Ole Miss
Watching a replay of the Clemson Florida St game on ESPNU right now. I think if we fall out of the top 10 in the draft we should really consider him. The speed he has in unreal. We would have a scary WR core.
Tajh Boyd, on the other hand, no way.

This I agree with, and this would make getting a QB in the first round less of a priority.
As Andrew Luck this season has showed - the weapons a QB has/ or doesn't have still is important. A QB CANNOT do it alone.
i think evans will be the best WR in the class
Quote:i think evans will be the best WR in the class
Not sure about that. Could be.
The thing is, both Watkins and Evans would give the Jags WR corps something that it lacks....i.e. a true burner in Watkins, and a big red zone target type in Evans.
