Quote:I watched him play. Blackmon was eye popping. Robinson is infinitely more consistent, but doesn't play with the flair Blackmon did (which was Irvin-like, best way I can think to put it.)


If you were to couple his talent with Robinson's work ethic... wow.


Blackmon was more talented, and it isn't particularly close. He was a rare talent. It was unfortunate that his demons were similarly exceptional. It's not really worth debating, though since he's gone and not coming back.
