re: Is Trevor Penning Salvageable or Complete Bust?
Posted by blackpurplegold on 12/13/23 at 9:56 am
[quote]He’s out of place at LT in the NFL. I think he can play RT or guard[/quote]
With the way Defenses are moving their elite pass rushers around to either side of the center or some teams having 2 pass rushers on the field, I agree he is better suited at playing Guard. The old concept of hav...
re: Having a qb is the easiest way to win big in the nfl

[quote]Lol, don't get me wrong... hurts is good, but he isn't a guy that can carry a team by himself like a Mahomes or burrow.[/quote]
Have you seen the All Pro roster for this season? I wouldn't say either of those guys carried their team by themselves. As great as Mahomes is, he had the privi...

[quote]But the eagles are proving that just a capable qb surrounded by an unbelievable cast will work. Their oline and receiving group are far superior to hurts[/quote]
So far superior that this same supporting cast could not manage to win any of the 3 games they had to play without him. I mean...
re: Player discussion - Amari Cooper vs Jamar Chase

[quote]Chase has a long way to go to be in the same league as Cooper.

Chase's Biletnikoff season surpassed Cooper's Biletnikoff season in every category except for catches. I'd say he's already ahead of him. Especially considering what point of his career he achieved this. I do agree, t...
re: Justin Jefferson’s Mindset On 3rd and 17
Posted by blackpurplegold on 3/1/20 at 10:22 pm
The "diving" defender was the result of a nasty stiff arm. 7 was in decent position despite taking a poor angle but some how only managed to get a few finger tips on JJ. JJ did everything textbook on this play. Take notice of his presence of mind to keep the ball away from the defender by placing ...
re: Trade Teddy for a starting DE and WR

[quote]Its not a troll...Davenport is a bust. You just don't want to admit it. You don't give up 2 1st round picks for a project small school guy. Gardner-Johnson looks way more promising as a rookie CB than Davenport has looked and he was drafted in the 4th round.[/quote]
I'd love to hear how ex...

[quote]It won’t happen. Everyone who says “trade him” assumes Drew won’t be injured again. If God forbid that happened, Teddy still gives us a chance to win the Super Bowl. Management ain’t trading Teddy.[/quote]
God forbid Drew is injured again and Teddy gets traded, it will go down as one o...

[quote]You have Murray be the guy that runs the ball consistently and Kamara do everything. Have them on the field at the same time often [/quote]
Exactly. CSP often puts AK split out wide or in the slot to create match-up issues for LBs or safeties, for that matter. A healthy AK and Murray on th...

[quote]We had solid lines in the dome patrol days but they aren't better than this one. The LBs were elite, the line was solid, the secondary was average.[/quote]
This is spot on and exactly my thoughts about the post. The Dome Patrol was more about the LBs and less about the D line. Don't get m...
re: Latavius Murray Ran a 4.38 at UCF's Pro Day in 2014

[quote]Otherwise, teams will just stack the box when there is a predictable one-dimensional back like Adrian Peterson was for the Saints[/quote]
This is spot on. It will also take away from AK if Murray is not at least as effective as Ingram in the passing game. Especially as a pass blocker/blitz...

[quote]Don't forget, Drew and Sean made Mike. I would recon all those other receivers would be more productive, if they were on the Saints.[/quote]
A lot goes into player development and of course having a future Hall of Fame QB and a HC who has an eye for talent certainly helps. I'm sure MT put ...
re: ESPN's top 100 players
Posted by blackpurplegold on 8/29/18 at 1:59 pm
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 iden...

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 o...
re: Besides AP what active RBs do you think will be a future HOFer?

[quote]Well, no not really. He's too far on the other end of the spectrum where he was only great for a 2/3 year stretch and remarkably pedestrian for the rest.
Also against Holmes' case is that the system he came out of seemed to replace him pretty easily without any hitch. In fact, Larry Johns...

None of these guys will play as long as Frank Gore. They are all ball hungry featured RBs in balanced offenses with big armed QBs...mostly. Take any one of these guys and put them in a Greenbay or New England type offense and they're production would be squandered. AP will get in because he benefite...

I'd love to see Kamara enshrined someday and I certainly think he's on his way. So if he repeats or comes consistently close to his numbers from his rookie season for lets say +/- 9 years, but never cracks 1000 yds in any category, do you think he gets in?
Rushing yards:728
Yards per carry:6.1

All interesting names. I'm not convinced about David Johnson at this point but what do I know. Heck, at one point you couldn't convince me that Priest Holmes, Arian Foster or even Jamaal Lewis were not destined for the HOF. With that said I do think accolades will play a larger part on who gets in ...
Besides AP what active RBs do you think will be a future HOFer?

Considering the way the game is played today combined with the current stable of eligible RBs that include:
Fred Taylor
Roger Craig
Corey Dillon
Ricky Watters
Edgerrin James
Of course there are arguably more but I highlighted these because of the way the game is played. I don't see anyone su...
re: What do you think the Saints could get for Mark Ingram? (Players or picks)
Posted by blackpurplegold on 4/16/18 at 5:25 pm
Spot on here. Value to the team vs value to the league. When you consider how much the league de-values the RB position, much less a 29 year old one this one is a no brainer....
