Little tidbit about Marshawn Lynch's ability.....

[Cory]

Ok I'll say this ONE MORE TIME. I'm not questioning his talent/character etc etc etc. I'm saying I'm not taking AR's opinion. The thread was about what AR had to say about ML. That's what I responding to...not wether he had talent or not.

I'll say this ONE MORE TIME TOO.
SINCE you didn't like AR's opinion, I was offering those of the NFL scouts.
So even if you think AR's doesn't really have weight..because his opinion MATCHED those of the scouts, then my point was ...there COULD be some merit to what AR thought of ML and it can't be totally dismissed as you are saying. I know you thought ML had talent..but I also believe AR had some insight and credibility to evaluate ML's talent.

That's all.

It's not that I don't like what AR had to say. All Ive never said is I'm not taking his opinion on this particular subject. I'm not even saying he's wrong(clearly Im not saying that since I agree he has talent), but let me ask you a question....if you are evaluating a RB or any other player...do you take a teammates word for it or do you look at what your scouts are telling you? Before you say it I know I know the scouts and AR are saying similar things about ML. However, my point is I would listen to the scouts about ML regardless of what AR thinks...

Agreed. What you're saying is a given. That's why I brought up this posting in the first place. The Scouts opinions are all that matters.
I was saying in ADDITION to that...take a look at this..

that's all it was

Well at least we agree Lynch is a serious talent. I wouldn't be opposed to the Packers taking him if hes there at 16. Although if he runs a 4.3 at the combine the Packers may as well wave bye bye to getting Lynch.

What is encouraging about the responses in this thread is the dose of healthy scepticism I see.

Lynch could turn out to be a very good NFL player. Or he could be a bust.

NFL player selection is a modified crap shoot. You make your best guess given what you see. But just because Junior can run fast, etc. doesn't mean he will do squat when the pads come on.

Dominating the college game is just that, the college game. All you see there are indicators of how someone will play against a LEAGUE FULL of players with similar abilities.

Often a player is picked by the wrong team. I think of Jamal Reynolds. If he had been drafted by a 3-4 team as an outside rush end/linebacker, he might have stuck. How can he blow NFL scouts away in college and be so bad in the pros? Possibly misplacement, or he simply dominated the college game, but couldn't at the next level.

The rumors floating out is the team thinks A. Green could be out the door if he wants too much money. They also might be committed to a new back.

One rumor has it they would send KGB to Denver(who needs a rush end) with a draft pick for Tatum Bell and a pick. Bell would be a good pickup in this offense. It also solves the Jenkins situation and allows the Packers to pick up an offensive end or defensive back, which is a need.

On point, I think Lynch is an example of what I call "Kiper-Hype", which means people "move up and down" prior to the draft. Based on what? Other than the Senior Bowl, they haven't put the pads on in several weeks.

Peterson is the real deal, to some. Lynch is too. But both could be the "can't miss" that might.

Tatum Bell was a third rounder and could well start for the Packers.

The real draft is not the first round. The team is built around solid drafting in rounds 2-5.

Good post net!

I was thinking something very similar to what your getting at with Jamal.
When I said Sherman drafted projects but didn't have the staff to develop them, I think that's what happened with Jamal.

Interesting post, and I get the gist of what you're saying; that the college game doesn't tranlsate into the NFL.

That's a good point.

On a completely different note....
I'm sorry to point this out, but(as a journalist), the amount of grammatical errors takes away from your message...

"encouraging about the responses in this this thread ARE the healthy dose"
"very good NFL player, OR he could be a bust"

NFL player selection is a modified crap shoot.

What exactly is a MODIFIED crap shoot? Don't you just mean crap shoot?
Crap shoot enough is good.

Dominating the college game is just that, the college game.

That would be "Dominating the college game is just that; the COLLEGE Game."

Often a player is picked by the wrong team.

That would be "OftenTIMES, a player is...."

The rumors floating out is the team thinks A. Green could be out the door if he wants too much money. They also might be committed to a new back.

The rumors floating around ARE that the team thinking A.Green is out OF the door. They might be committed to a new back? How can they be commmited if they MIGHT be doing it? Doesn't make sense. Maybe "considering committing" to a new back is better...

"On point, I think Lynch is an example of what I call "Kiper-Hype", which means people "move up and down" prior to the draft. Based on what? "

"On Point" is overused and doesn't really say anything. Something like "having said that, etc" works

Just my 2 cents.

You mean the number of grammatical errors, not the amount of grammatical errors.

Yes I do. Just like NET...hukt awn fonex wurkt fur mi.

Okay..all kidding aside, back to the original thread.

Lynch, Bush, and Peterson all have speed/power and that will help
them on the next level.

Please stop trying to get the last word in and tempt the managers from banning you again.

Lynch's 40 yard time should be 4.3-4.4. That's blazing

I think it's safe to say we've gotten as much out of this thread as we could.
