I agree you do not want to start a rookie OL. But if a first round pick cannot get in after two injuries ahead of him that is alarming.
I get that he is raw. So was Nate Davis and he did pretty good last year, by this point.
We found out he also had maturity issues.... what is your point and what is your solution? Cut him? Shoot him? Trade him ? Crawl into a ball and weep uncontrollably because 11 games in our entire 2020 draft class due to injuries and during the worst pandemic in recent history with no OTAs or mini camp isn’t starting every game?
No you're not representing the title. You were smart by your title selection, however you're ranking them based on their lack of performance on the field.
So instead you should be pointing out faults like....do they show up on time/are they disciplined/their maturity/work ethics in practice/do they listen take notes and remember....that's how students are ranked in class. But you were smart in your title....doesn't fool me though.
Does any of that change the fact the performance of this year's rookies has been historically bad.
You keep making excuses for why it is bad. Okay. That does not change that it is bad.
Out of those choices I’m guessing shoot him? But open to other options like maybe see what happens next year.
I changed the title, just for you and anyone else who cannot grasp this simple concept. I even added an explanation in the OP lol.
If this whole thing still upsets you, then you might want to just ignore the thread. Or don't, I don't care.
Sure.. ok. In this small sample size it’s been not as expected or bad. Historically bad? Naw. I doubt it.
I wonder if other teams rookies are doing as poorly, since they, too, have had the same situation to deal with.
I’m really not sure. Just wondering.
Performance On the field and attitude are intertwined with Rookie evaluations. I would think performance trumps (sorry Vondy) all, and the main point of his thread. The rookie class is underperforming at a level we have not seen in quite a while - regardless of the reasons.
Some are some aren’t, like most years.
Thanks,
Definitely the worst so far....lets see if there's eney surprises left in the season.
Fulton and Evans have time to make an impact.
Some rookies classes are good. Some not. As the Titans class has been labeled some have just had bad luck. But historically bad is just hyperbole at best.
I agree.
My only disagreement (and it's not very big) would be the pick of McDonald over a Kicker.
Kickers are generally late round picks anyway and I'd say we had a need. I never would EXPECT anything out of a late round pick (4th and beyond) otherwise.
Overall, I still have hope for Wilson. Fulton may just need some time. Evans seems excessive now that McNichols, Perry, and Freeman all look like decent "breather" guys for Henry.
personally, i feel none of them would have seen active time on a steelers or patriots roster.
Hell, anybody over McDonald for that matter... and his last attempt at a 'project gem' qb was gutter trash too
I love the trade for King....
King II actually because Henry is King I
:henry:
Agree with Fulton and Evans, their time will come
Wilson isn't just about Covid though, he hasn't proven himself to the staff, he's immature. He will need to earn his right to play more than normal with rookies.
Kicker over another QB project would have been a better pick.
Look at last years draft class
