How much of an impact can a rookie CB have?

[Tobal]

It seems for the most part if a CB can play he'll make an early impact. Pacman was bad his first yr, but that doesn't seem to be the Norm.

I think some of it depends a guys like Cason and Flowers seem to be pretty polished.

 

[FuzzyLumpkins]

DRC is probably going to take more time to acclimate than the others. His upside is great but I see a guy like Jenkins or Talib more familiar with the competition of the NFL than DRC because of the programs they are coming out of.

 

[ABQcowboyJR]

Of course Ross played well he is a UT boy. I think Cason especially will do well. He has good recognition which he will need if he becomes our nickle corner.

 

[ThreeSportStar80]

I'll take a 1st round corner over a guy like Reeves... Mike Jenkins, DRC or Talib are my choices.

Hmmm . . . . that's got to hurt a bit.

Wouldn't hurt a bit. He'd have been long dead before he hit the ground. But its a hilarious thought.

 

[burmafrd]

TNew really had an impact his first year. But he was a top 5 pick as well.

BUT I think more CBs have more impact as rookies then WRs generally do.

The Discovery Channel is full of crap. A ROCK- a very hard substance compared to a human body- could have a great impact. A human body will not go anywhere near as fast do to resistance from air- terminal velocity is only about 180-240 MPH. This has been documented in many instances over the years in skydiving accidents. Also there have been explosive decompression accidents in airliners that have hurled bodies out at that altitude and no real craters have ever been found. An indentation a few feet deep and wide depending on the composition of the ground.

I hope you know we're joking. If you do, If you don't:geek:

Youre assuming no force is applied other than gravity. The word propelled implies a force being applied or at the very least there is a significant velocity upon entering the atmosphere.

Youre saying that a human body cannot physically go faster than that which is wrong. Gravity can only bring a body to that speed.

Drag provides a negative force and it so happens that the velocity is part of that equation at the terminal velocity drag = 9.8 m/s^2.

This is classic Fuzzy. Except this time he's right.

So Fuzzy what would be propelling him?

I was addressing a falling body- Fuzzy this is reaching- EVEN FOR YOU.

So now its what. Where is the only question left.

I have no idea. it was a joke in the first place but for the sake of argument there is gravitational field extends out in space beyond the atmosphere or maybe it was a jetpack or similar propulsion device.

It doesnt matter what propels him; all that matter is that it is possible.

And you were making the assumption of a falling body with an initial velocity of less than whatever terminal velocity is at a particular air pressure. Not just any falling body.

Ok I think I searched every reply, so here goes...

Do you think a player like Cason, for example, in this year's draft is as talented (or more talented) than Cason?

There's more than one? If so, there's a song reference that comes to mind...

We've had pretty good luck in the past with rookie CBs. Everson Walls and Larry Brown did pretty well as rookies.

Kevin Smith wasn't too shabby either.

Also just wanted to point out that it cracked me up how part of this thread was turned into a physics lesson. Awesome stuff.

You should see the debacle that is the Herm Edward's thread. Let's just say it got "Rick Rolled."

My thread got hijacked. :laugh2:
