Christine Michael is irritating

[texbumthelife]

Jesus. The Seahawks did not have him prior to drafting him. So they were projecting. And they were obviously wrong. Unless you're suggesting that their pre-draft evaluation of this guy was better than their evaluation of him after actually having him in multiple training camps and watching him every day in practice? Is that what you're suggesting? They have seen Christine Michael front and center for some time now. They drafted him in the second round. And they let him go for a penny.

Again, what the Seahawks do or don't do doesn't really have much bearing on me. As I said, I formulate my own opinions. But I did want to point out that your suggestion that "just about everyone else" who has seen Michael play thinks he is an all-world talent is utterly false. Now that they've seen him for an extended period of time, they think he is worth a late rounder...at best.

So because my opinion falls in line with the vast majority it is just me "puppeting someone else's thoughts" but because you choose to disagree with them, you are thinking for yourself?

As I have now said seemingly an infinite number of times, the Seahawks didn't see the application of his physical tools. That's why they cut him. It's the same reason he isn't starting here. He has the physical tools. He just hasn't been able to apply them.

You keep trying to drag me down into a childish argument about arguing for some reason.

Don't underestimate how a move like cutting Felicia has on motivating others on the team. I didn't think the FO was capable of sending a message but they sent one today. Players like CMike might be a tad immature but even immature guys get messages like the one that was sent today. It will be very interesting to see how our new more formidable RBBC responds Sunday night.

 

[texbumthelife]

No, you suggested that "nearly everyone" believes as you do. Which is moronic, given the actions of the Seahawks. Just pointing out your false statement.

You show me one, just one, source where the Seahawks said Christine Michael was not physically gifted. Just one. You're confusing the argument. It's not about production. It's about physical tools and athletic ability.

 

[Bleu Star]

It's been what three years? The dude still hasn't changed. I wouldn't hold my breath if I were you.

Michael is a more talented version of Randle, but he still isn't a starting caliber back.

That all remains to be seen. He is still 8 weeks inside my standard rookie 3 year rule.

 

[Oh_Canada]

Because Monte Ball is as soft as butter. Are you really serious with this noise? The guy was demoted to four-string in Denver, only because they didn't have a fifth string.

Ball ran for almost five a pop in his rookie year, what in the blue hell has Christine Michael EVER done as a pro except miss assignments?

You don't know why he isn't starting here. You don't know what issue Carroll had with him specifically either. What you claim to know is so generalized it's pretty much meaningless.

I do like the condescending big timing of that last line though.

 

[texbumthelife]

There are countless numbers of players who come out every year who have all the physical tools necessary but never put it all together. At this point, its early, but Michael without a doubt falls into that category.

He has every physical and athletic attribute needed to be a successful NFL running back. That's what you're arguing against.

No one knows those things. I have watched all I can on him. I have read all I can on him. That's where I draw my conclusions from. I didn't bring the Seahawks evaluation into this, another poster did. Way to nitpick and choose what you want to argue out of context though.

And trust me, the condescension has been thick for a while.

Don't mind me, bro. I'm in that mode.

I don't want to argue about arguing.

I am all for differing opinions. I am just voicing mine.

Nothing. This isn't about defending Christine Michael. This is about pointing out how much Monte Ball sucks.

 

[texbumthelife]

Christine Michael has very good physical tools and build. That is why the Cowboys went after him.

I am not saying the guy isn't a bust at this point. I am not saying he is the savior. I am simply saying, his issue isnt his athleticism. It lies between his ears.

That's all I am arguing. Seattle cutting him doesn't change that at all. The guy is a great athlete. He's just not a good running back at this point. That's why he hasn't played.

 

[texbumthelife]

We can agree there, at least.

 

[cowboys2233]

Oh good, some common ground! FWIW, I hope you're right and I'm wrong about Michael.

 

[Irvin88_4life]

Which Michael dropped....Doesn't help his cause.

The pass he dropped then tried to hip bump a Seattle defender after

The thing is, I don't think we are arguing the same thing anymore. I think we are both right. He hasn't done jack to show he a good runningback in this league. I've been saying since we got him I didn't think he's a starting calibur running back. BleuStar and I have gone back and forth about it constantly. So, it's not like I am a huge Michael fan.

I do think the guy is an exceptional athlete though and I don't really see much argument against that. You're obviously entitled to your opinion, though. We will just agree to disagree. This got a little wack... lol

 

[waving monkey]

Um ok thanks I guess scout. I don't know what he is I don't think he's really gotten a chance but online seems to be home of a lot of former and future scouts. Not

maybe but this board are fans with opinions about the Cowboys ?

Why are y'all so upset is this person y'all's friend, family, lover, or something? Dang y'all acting really weird as if people can't have differing opinions and make fun of some thing without it being some type of problem. Heck it was a light jab not some serious personal insult. Probably none of us are actual scouts so why are y'all acting so upset about it?

Don't throw jabs if you aren't ready for a counter filled with flurries.
