Claiborne Inspired Me

[windjc]

This is something I thought I would never say. I've never been impressed with Claiborne - his playing or his mental toughness. But I think there is a chance this kid has really toughened up a bit. Adversity = strength, perhaps?

Anyway, this interview inspired me:

Good 2 minute video. Mo has a chance to prove a lot of people wrong this year. While my expectations are low, I'll still be rooting for him.

Same ole story with the guy though.

Don't trust him.

 

[Teague31]

Has he transformed his body again?

Dude flat out cannot play at this level

 

[Fletch]

Fans are to quick to dismiss players that struggle or have YET to reach their potential. I'll admit that I've been guilty of it a time or two. Though I'll be cheering on Mo like a mofo. The past be damned.

 

[USMarineVet]

It's been said a million times but with the improved pass rush I think he'll improve this season. One can only hope.

 

[RS12]

He said all the right things in camp last year too. Guy couldnt play before he got hurt so people expecting him to after are setting themselves up for disapointment IMO.

 

[BoysfanfromCanada]

No pressure on him. There are four or five possible impact players on this team, along with solid depth at cb. This guy just needs to do his thing in a contract year. Seems like a nice kid, hope it works out. I have low expectations though

Watching the Alamo, let's rush into a Goliad...really think?

He made a bunch of statements last offseason too. It only counts if he backs his words up on the field .

I'll be rooting for him, but last year when he got hurt our Defense actually got better.

According to whom? Because if he is healthy he's shown he can. His problem is staying healthy.

 

[Tabascocat]

Comeback player of the year incoming.......

When exactly was that? Does his three career interceptions prove that to you? He is a liability. Plain and simple

His rookie year there a few games. Throwing out that 3 career INT's is meaningless because of his health. A liability? I don't see how when we really don't know. The facts are simple - he needs to be healthy, like all CB's he needs a little pass rush help. Until those conditions apply we are left with nothing but questions about his future. The only ones I've seen who say he can't play in the NFL are some of the membership in here.

No it did not. It got better because that was the natural ways new players and defenses get better, by playing more games together. Not. By injury to a player.

Only on here can a positive interview be turned into hate as usual toward our. Own players people to profess to be fans of this team.
It seems like people want him to fail and hurt the team so they can say they were right.....

Pretty much. Like I said, I haven't been a fan. But he sounds like he has got his head on straight. Better than him being negative or unfocused or non-passionate.

Not really inspiring too me, but I hope he comes back strong.

I disagree. I have read that he is a bust everywhere I look except for a few posters on this board. I saw a list a while back that had Mo listed as one of the biggest busts in the last several years for any teams.
