Quote:I don't like swagger from players who haven't earned the right to talk it. It makes them look ridiculous. 

 

If Marcedes had Jimmy Graham/ Jason Witten type production....and he wants to "chirp"...hey, have at it man, you earned it....but Marcedes is nothing but a barely average player....a massively overpaid one at that. 

 

His production has been pedestrian from a pass catching/TD stand point.  Tight ends are also paid to block though and he's way above average in that department, at least according to people who grade these kinds of things.  The key is he has the talent to be the kind of guy he thinks he is, he just has to be in the upper echelon statistically.  I think his comments he may be using for self-motivation which I'm OK with as long as he can cash in on it.
