Deuce Vaughn Will Have to be RB2 to be Successful

[BlindFaith]

Calm down. We get it, you don't like him. I don't care.

You cared enough to respond. Sharing is caring.

 

[BlindFaith]

Had Vaughn been 3-4" taller, he would have been a 3rd rounder.

Those discounting his ability to play in this league are in for a surprise.

So a 5'8 or 5'9 177 lb running back with 4.5 speed would impress me? Thats what you're saying?

Ok then.

If he were 5'9 190 and had legit speed, we could start talking sensibly.

 

[BlindFaith]

Almost everyone makes him look brilliant. He took over a sport franchise making peanuts every year and turned it into a franchise that makes well over a million dollars every single day.

lmao

So Jerry drafting Vaughn now has elevated Jerry into brilliant territory? lol, literally lol.

Still, lol. I just dont know how to respond.

giggle, giggle

 

[BlindFaith]

He was 17th because he's a smaller dude. Kinda obvious.

The question is just how much he can contribute at his size. It's not about talent.

He was a very productive, college RB. No denying it. Tough dude.

There are thousands of highly productive, college players with every measurable imaginable, that could not make it.

This is not some personal vendetta against the kid. He earned a look see. Great story that his dad is a scout. If he makes the team, I'll be a fan, as I am of all the players wearing the star.

Im just one of the few pragmatic souls trying to temper down this hype train.

 

[rambo2]

Sure

Of course he is. Why make such an ignorant comment m

Lol, come on man. You actually think that Jerry isn't a brilliant man after everything he has done to make the Cowboys one of the most successful businesses in the World?

He is tough, I'll give him that. But little bones break much easier than big bones.

Bones break more easily before the age of 18-24 and after the age of 40. Various bone density deficiencies may weaken bones between those ages. However, all bones, no matter the body's individual muscle mass, height, weight, etc., break uniformly for male athletes of different physical sizes within that age range.

There is a longstanding and widely held fallacy concerning bone fractures. It is the physical force applying stress to bone that breaks them. A 'big' athlete's [fill in the specific bone] will break just as easily as a 'small' athlete's if the skeletal mass undergoes similar or exact level of stress.

Define brilliant in your interpretation. Nicolas Tesla was brilliant.

Jerry was a wildcater who struck it lucky. Bought the worlds most recognizable franchise thanks to Tex Schramm. Won Superbowls thanks to Jimmy. Then prompyly Fd it all up. But yeah, he took on the NFL and made some coin.

I used to give Jerry some credit. I was wrong.

I stand corrected. Thanks Bones!!

You've got like 3 pages worth of posts on here explaining why he sucks. Get a grip.

I never said he sucked. Just said I dont think he can be effective in the NFL. But thanks for continuing to not care.

1. Deuce won’t play special teams at all, so he will need significant utility to remain on the field

2. He won’t come in on 3rd and long because he’s too small to block.

2. He NEEDS a mixture of both regular carries AND gadget plays. If he only gets used as a gadget guy, they’ll know it’s a screen or sweep every time. To get there he needs to be RB2 eventually

1. He could be a kickoff returner. Punt returns are out.
2. He is exactly what scares a defense in that situation.
3. Of course. You are underestimating the player in a big way. You will see.

 

[Alexander]

Nearly EVERYONE on this board is anointing him, FFS. Im all for giving him a chance. He earned it.

But IMHO, he will be lucky to play on the practice squad a few years before becoming a scout, like his dad.

I challenge you.

You can't see the forrest for the trees.

It wasn't me saying it. NFL professional scouts. I just posted what I heard.

 

[CATCH17]

Lol, all running backs get hurt. He was the leading ball carrier in all of college football over the last 3 years and didn't break anything.

Exactly..

How much football has Saquon Barkley played since coming to the NFL?

 

[Rayman70]

just play him and see what we do. I dont get concerned about a pitch count really. Hes just a good football player.

 

[rambo2]

Exactly..

How much football has Saquon Barkley played since coming to the NFL?

And he was pick 2 not 212.

 

[BlindFaith]

I challenge you.

[offlimits]

yes, IM a Longhorn fan and keep an eye on TCU , so i was forced to watch those games. Vaughn flashed in every one of them, so much so i had no idea he was that small.. all i noticed was Darren Sproles like game and was impressed. pre-draft i thought he was target before Pollard signed his tag, was thinking he was a lot like pollard, so wasn't a big need, thought we would take Roshon instead, bigger back type, but the fact he was still there that late, i was happy they took him..

Agree. Saw him several times last year. He looks much bigger than his actual size. He is a threat every time he touches the ball.
