Time to channel our inner Joe Friday and stick to just the facts, eh?

Thinking that TLaw and Etienne are gonna post anything near 173 TD in 3 seasons maybe? The tweet was RIGHT there in the quoted post.

Do we really need a number to say either are damn good at what they do? No. If they aren't playing like gangbusters right outta the gate, you wanna bet there won't be eleventy billion "because jaguars" posts from the resident Eeyores around here?

Freddy was on the downward slope of his career, though. apples and octopi.

Did anywhere in my post say that I expect them to produce 173 TDs in 3 years?   Some are doubting most of the picks before these guys have even played a game, even though we have a new regime so it won't shock me if people freak out if we don't win week 1.  The only expectation I have is they are going to make this team better and compete for the division next year at the latest, although I think we have a chance at the division this year with all the additions we have made.

It was the only argument you provided as to why picking both was above criticism. "Who would want this? LOL"

I don't know that anyone on the board argued that they didn't want either player. I don't think anyone on the board posted anything saying that either guy won't produce. The most convincing statement you could provide to say that the pick was worthwhile where it was made was a cherry-picked stat with no context.

And yes, I promise that even if YOU aren't expecting that level of production, somebody will see that number, and if we aren't scoring 60 TD a season between two dudes, they will deem the pick, player, or franchise a flop. I would really like to know how many of those scores were against "cupcake" opponents, how many TD were counted twice (Tlaw pass to Etienne), etc. I think that number is VERY misleading on its face. That's all I'm saying.
