After practice he's going to deliver some packages for IPS and hang out with his best friend Deacon and **** of a wife Carrie.

Pretty much impossible to do.  Other than one dismal season in Tampa Bay with an historically bad team, Young wasn't a full-time starting QB until about age 30.  

Yep.

Good news folks.  The blind ump that just made the horrible "out" call a moment ago won't be calling balls and strikes in the second game tonight.

 

Edit:  back to back bad calls...

article written by the all knowing well respected NFL analyst... "marissa myers"    :roll:

I just like to see some unrealistic and totally unjustified expectations that will be crushed.

I was never a fan of Dean, I thought he was too small and if I'm getting a smaller LB he better make up for that lack of height/length by being fast and he's not that fast 

I think getting him in the 3rd was good value and I like his character and work ethic and football IQ but not sure he has NFL ability.

We'll see, maybe his work ethic and character and IQ will make up for some of his physical limitations, much like hurts.🤷‍♂️

We really don't know about Dean, physically.  No Ras for him.    There were a lot of articles about him vs Lloyd before the 2022 draft.  Those articles all said that Dean was the freakbeast physically.  But no combine for him.  Lloyd had a 4.6 40 ballpark.  I would guess that Dean fully healthy, in college, was running 4.3 something or 4.4 something.

Dude didn't even make it to the pre-season

Such great ras,  was a starting LT for Louisville,  yet was udfa, and now cut.   I liked Reid.

Wonder what the problem was?   Brain?

Schwarberfest!   Back to back HRs in consecutive at-bats for him.  Bats are heating up...

He's small at 6'0" and slow(4.74).

On the other hand his RAS score is ... N/A did not do combine drills.

If its the first time you heard that he is small and slow then you have not been paying attention.

 

I like Dean and hope he's a stud but his production outweighed his athleticism.

If he was 6'4" and ran a 4.52 he'd have been gone before the Eagles could have drafted him.

FWIW, Zach Thomas was 5'11" and ran a 4.85 and he just had a very nice weekend.  Athleticism is not everything.

that 4.74 was in HIGH SCHOOL

watching him hit dingers when he's hot is fun.

Cave didn't look very comfortable on either fly balls that inning.  Is it the wind, or is he just not a great OF?

I was hoping to see Davis at MLB.  We need a bigger body there.  

Levon Kirkland redux.

He missed no meals

You weren't reading what I've posted very well.

1 - I previously pointed out his lack of size.  

2 - I specifically discussed athleticism, which is different from speed.  

3 - In the post that I discussed his size, I specifically pointed to Zach Thomas (and Sam Mills).  

 

His short shuttle was very good, IIRC.  4.32, which is pretty close to outstanding for a LB.  And for me, a SS time is much more meaningful than a 40 time for a LB.

COLLEGE COMBINE.   BEFORE COLLEGE.

In college,  players get better athletically.

Ras compare Dean v Cunningham.

https://ras.football/ras-compare/?&p1=21462&p2=15155&pos=LB

Note:  No Data on Dean.

What we know about Dean's athleticism is guessing.   The Eagles might have data from chips in shoulder pads

the correct answer is We Don't Know.

But the writers kept saying that Dean had better athleticism than Lloyd

Let's just stop using high school data and pretend that it's newer data.  A player can Play something in high school, and not forget how to do it.  But he got faster in the 4 or so years of college.

Dean was a running back in high school part of the time.

"also had nine TDs as an RB for the Eagles."

Not impossible to do at all.  What it says is that Hurts' development is ahead of Young's at this time ... ideally with more progress to come.

From the numbers we have Dean is not an outstanding athlete other than as a jumper. Feel free to lie to yourself all day long.

You could have mentioned,  especially since you went to RAS and had to make up your own card, that your data is just TOO OLD.  It's HIGH SCHOOL DATA.

Sorry that I have to type this over and over again,  but you need to know that.

You people are arguing over Dean's high school numbers.

STOP DOING THAT.

Yes, it's important that Dean was a high school running back, at times,  with 9 rushing TDs.  You don't forget how to do that.  But you do get bigger and faster and everything else in college.  No reason at all to think that Dean didn't.

Every single person to this point fails to note that you're arguing about Dean's numbers in 2018 or whatever,  when he was in high school.
