News: BTB: Thoughts on the drafting of Mo Claiborne

[Vintage]

He might be moving on as well...and from a set of attitudes that were forged about that time.

What are you talking about?

What are you talking about?

You live in a complete news vacuum?

Peterson, with Minnesota, is under scrutiny for abuse of his son. I don't know what planet he dropped out of, but abuse right now, doesn't first take on the hue of a star or not...

What? You were expecting someone dropping in from somewhere else? How about Monte Hall...can you relate yet?

I get it...bars are closing and one wishes to still be seen as a heckler at the bar...

Not rocket science on this stuff.

 

[waving monkey]

I don't think there is a GM in the league who survives more than two of those moves. Not to mention the Roy trade which helped lead to the entire 2009 draft being a complete wash.

the discussion is about MO

Claiborne's the latest whipping boy. Felix Jones, Martellus Bennett, Terrell Owens, Pacman Jones, etc., etc., have already left the organization, so we need a new distraction to take the blame for the mediocre status of the organization. If you cut or trade Claiborne, it won't be any surprise that we'll most likely be getting the exact same results we've been getting. Surround Claiborne and Carr with real talent and I bet you they both look a lot better... you know, give him a JJ Watt or someone else who can get to the QB consistently or have an Earl Thomas/Kam Chancellor backing him up in the safety position... and give him a scheme that actually utilizes his talents. We KNEW beforehand that Carr and Claiborne were man to man corners, but we keep running a lot of zone. Is it any surprise that they both look like a fish out of water?

I would love to hook up with yet another Demarcus Ware and throw in a Bob Lilly...that would certainly shake things about, some.

Jerry loves Romo and Romo has that monster contract, so if we get a high draft pick, I wouldn't be surprised if we go defense and get a pass rusher. I just hope Marinelli sticks around long enough so that we won't have yet another system for our players to learn.

Thanks for the early morning conversation...I think that this offense is close to top step. But the defense needs a broader foundation, but it's coming along as well now.

Obviously, people are going to give the #6 overall guy more than a season before labeling him a bust. He was compared to Patrick Peterson coming out, and he was never half athlete Peterson was. His coverage skills were supposed to be superior, but that doesn't seem to be the case.

Well when you cover WRs that would never make it in the NFL his cover skills look superior. I watched film on him and he never was really challenged by any receiver in college. He looked slow to me when they said he has cover skills like Deion.

I'm glad that Dallas dumped their scouting dept. after this debacle. I wasn't too hot on the trade even before it happened. I actually wanted Barron rather than Claiborne. I was wishing I was wrong, but sometimes your gut tells you that this was a bad pick and the nightmare is now starting to become true.

 

[Fredd]

Mo's leash is REALLY short with me right now, but I still have some faith that he is going to do well this year....

 

[CosmicCowboy]

Unless something changes fast, this pick will join Shante Carver, Kavika Pittman, Ebenezar Ekuban, Felix Jones, and the passing of Randy Moss, as Jerry's worst draft decisions.

That's quite a list there, Jerry.

Jerry's boys....

the discussion is about MO

Technically, according to the title, its about the drafting of Mo. Which brings the track record of said person who did the drafting into the discussion.

Don't forget the Galloway Giveaway...

The smoking gun is his Wonderlic score.

I have never personally met the man, but its not hard to determine "football stupid" never mind general life stupid.

There is something behind his lack of ability on the NFL field. It can't be his body that is constantly failing him. At least media reports are not portraying it as such.

It has to be his head. Some players are just "football stupid" and can't put it together on the field. See Bruce Carter here.

When you are "football stupid" often you are limited in your ability to diagnose and then be actionable based on what you interpret.

If his is the case then you are typically stuck as "scheme" player. Smart players know football and can adapt to any type of scheme to a certain degree.

By the time you get to the league you have NFL ability. Its just a matter of honing the fine degrees of technique and diagnosis that puts you in positions to make plays.

Playing with good technique and being able to interpret the game is all mental. Either you are capable or you are not.

I believe this is what separates the good players from the bad.

Patrick Peterson went to LSU.

AP went to Oklahoma. He is the one in the news.

Take your own advice.

Again, this isn't rocket science. Let me know if you need further explanation.

Look back over your shoulder, I already made provision for that exact course of comparison, but in your own haste, you didn't see that trip stone already situated for just this observation. Watch the game...instead of trouble shooting principals that you steadily adjust.

I left a play on the Patterson exact one, as to point to something beyond a homer song placing blames...

Wait...

In summary, you mixed up the Peterson's.

Then tried to be a smart***.

And now, you are responding with more garbage.

Allow me to try. I'm guessing you mixed then up because you think all black people are the same.

Stay away from insult, it's a trip stone to you....as you were.
