Not surprising considering your other wild opinions on this board

ok. but i've failed to see your argument. i've put up a pretty strong one in mostly that Taysom's Hill support cast on this roster and coaching staff that is offensively proven.

Supporting cast can only take you so far. And he’s almost completely unproven.

I don’t like Newton (played for AU and the Panthers, and he’s a big baby) but saying a completely unproven guy is on the level of a Heisman winner, no.1 overall pick, multiple pro bowler, and MVP winner is definitely a wild opinion.

They've fixed it now, but for a couple hours this morning ESPN had a picture of Brandon Coleman instead of Michael Thomas

gue MVP Matt Ryan 2 years ago you mean?? yea that guy must be terrible. 

Guess he is not as great as Breesus and his walker that he needs to get in and out of the huddle these days. 

you guys trip me out...if he isn't a Saint he must be terrible.
Yeah I bet Drew really hates it when his championship ring clanks against the hand bars of his walker.

Yeah that sound could get annoying. To those that don't have a ring that is.

What's your beef with Juice? Did he still your girl or something? Did you draft him on your fantasy team and he didn't get enough points for you? You've been riding him pretty hard, I read your posts. The guy's arguably the most complete WR on the list. Jack of all trades. Tough, gritty and a hell of a blocker. The closest on-list comparison is Larry Fitzgerald. Granted Juice isn't as fast or big and primarily plays inside they are very similar in reliability. There are others on this list that are very one dimensional and probably shouldn't be ranked where they are. Tyreek Hill comes to mind. Tyreek hill = Desean Jackson or a Mike Wallace type guy. Doug Baldwin is solid and has similar numbers but I don't feel he can do the things Jarvis does. To even be on the list as a slot guy speaks volumes. Especially considering there are 32 NFL teams and the list is Philly, Jacksonville, Minnesota, San Diego and New Orleans heavy. Had he stayed in Miami, He would have been the only Dolphin to make the list. Think about that.

Baldwin-75 Catches 991 YDS 13.2 AVG 8 TDs

Juice 112 Catches 987 YDS 8.8 AVG 9 TDs

Hill has one good preseason game and he’s already better than Cam Newton


My comments was less about Hill and more indicative of Cam. Cam sucks, bro.

I have nothing against Landry. My beef is with lsutards that overrate the guy and say dumb shite like “Landry is better than Mike Thomas” or that he had a better season than him which is laughable. Some on here gave me so much shite for not joining the worship everything LSU crowd and saying how great he is, which I don’t think he is. So frick them. I think he is very good but not top 10.


I had him in the 11-16 range and was told how dumb I am for a reasonable opinion. PFF graded him out at the #16 WR. ESPN has him as the 12th best WR according to this list.

Cam is still far from the worst QBs in the league.

I understand your point. However, I don't believe Clowney is more talented or feared as J.J. Watt but he's ranked ahead of him. I also feel that Melvin Gordon is better than Kareem Hunt. I guess my point is that in the well known/mostly respected sports/football network world, players have been identified who clearly separate themselves from their peers. Landry's name has come up multiple times. Just listen to what opposing defenders or coaches have to say about him. I'll admit that as a fan of LSU I can't help but notice the amount of Tigers to make that ESPN list as NFLers. That doesn't mean I take the Homer route when it comes to acknowledging talent. And whoever said Juice was better than Mike Thomas does not watch football.

Taysom Hill under Sean Payton can be every bit the player that Cam Newton is

That is patently absurd. Not only because you’re comparing a guy who’s never played a SINGLE snap as a QB in a regular season game, but he is only ONE year younger than Newton (Hill is 28, Newton’s 29). What, you think Hill is gonna suddenly take the NFL by storm after his 32nd birthday or something?

You’re either a relentless troll, or you have Down’s. I’m guessing Down’s.

Barkley hasn’t played a meaningful down in the NFL and yet he’s in the top 100. Where is Fournette? This list is shite.

I’ll never see Cam the same after he didn’t dive for the fumble during the Super Bowl. He has no chest. Matt Ryan is a whiney bitch but he has more courage than Cam.
