The hype of Jaishawn Barham

[JBS]

Of course. I was talking about recently - last few years.

I think he may be the only player in history to be put in the hall of fame while playing. He’s that good.

CZ put Jabril Cox into the HOF for the 1 and only play that he made in his Cowboys career.

 

[DuncanIso]

Plenty of players with a better pedigree than him have failed in the NFL.

Yup.

Nothing is certain.

Its practice......

Another player robbed because of an ACL.

Kid had uber talent. Just bad luck.

How does this apply to the NFL?

I am going to say it...the league is not ready for Barham. He is like a dangerous mythical creature readying the strike.

Pads came on today. Any Barham talk? Overshown looks like he might have his speed back but Guyton totally owned him on a play. Makes me wonder if the move to MLB is the right one. It is still early I realize that. Barham more built for the MLB spot. I just haven't seen any talk about Barham in the padded practice. That's the thing about a lot of these rookies and new additions to the defense. Hard to tell till the pads came on. Also haven't heard much about Dee Winters either.

Barham is like Arvell Reese lite but he will have a lot of opportunities to rush the passer.

Or heavy.

Found some good looking padded footage of Barham.

His performance today was so beautiful that the journalists can’t even put it into words.

It was a serious question. Don't really understand the sarcasm. It's like your rooting for him to not be any good. This is training camp. It is a practice. Chances of him being an actual starter are most likely low. These camps are were you can see the sparks that makes you see if they have any potential. So far he has shown some but when pads come on that hype can change in an instant. We all know we need a good linebacker on this team. Barham most likely will just be glimpses this year if anything. I am rooting for him not over hyping him. I just posted a video of him winning against Tyler Smith in pads. It's a good start.

Barham treating Tyler Smith like he's nothing.

I’m just joking around.

I actually think Barham is going to be a very good player for us. I’m not rooting against him at all.

And I am sure others who ended up not being so beastly. Let's be honest about it, you have, through the years, used that term more generously than most on here (not saying there is anything wrong with the positivity... just the percentage of accuracy and certainty you are referencing throughout this thread, Nostradamus).

As for Barham, I love what I have seen and read about him and am optimistic (love the McClain comps), but the history of the league is full of players who looked "beastly" in rookie camp and the first two days of training camp that ended up not being what we thought when the NFL pads and lights come on.

This right here.

Good thing I don't judge players by rook camp/TC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, I thought it was funny!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A smart player. That’s one thing that’s we’ve lacked, beside talent. We’ve had too many not so smart guys
