Quote:Many players have the physical tools and the ability to be elite.

In fact, looking at his measurables, his timed results at the combine and pro day don't indicate Blackmon is elite.



Quote:Show me where I said speed makes a player elite.  I'll wait.

 

What exactly is your argument?  

Some players are elite without elite measureables?  I would agree with that.  (If JB became elite, he would fit into that category)

 

Some players suck despite elite measurables?  Another Duh from the FBT camp.

 

You said JB has the physical tools of an elite receiver... all objective evidence we have indicates is that his measurables are not elite.  

 

It's besides the point anyway, because he's a good receiver for other reasons.


I think my argument is pretty clear. He was a young, developing receiver who was on the verge of a breakout year when he was suspended indefinitely, and he was accomplishing this with Gabbert and Henne feeding him the ball.
Never argue with idiots. They drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.
