Twitter: I whiffed on Gifford

[plasticman]

Still going strong on my pet cat Noah Brown. One out of six isn't too bad....is it?

 

[Beaker42]

I thought he had a chance to be a starter but after watching him this preseason, he's a special teamer at best. Add that to his injury history and I doubt he makes the 54.

This happens a lot. A fan sees a flash play or two in the preseason or even a regular-season game and thinks the player is a stud.
The reality is the occasional flash play does not make a player valuable to a team. It's doing his job every play and mixing in the occasional flash play.
People are doing this with Trysten Hill. He was really bad his rookie year and was really bad last year, but occasionally, he would "flash," so some fans fell in love with him, but he was not good. Unless he improves dramatically this year he should not be part of an NFL DT rotation.
The same thing happened with Taco. He was bad, but occasionally he would get a "flash" play and so some fans started saying he was better than DLaw, and then they were shocked when he was cut. Well, a number of teams have cut him now even though he "flashed" with 5 sacks last year. Flash plays are way overrated.

This will turn into a Jaylon thread, mine as well change the title.

At least I didn't swear by Wentz like you and only a LB like Gifford who I thought would be a starter some day.

I mean Wentz is a former MVP favorite and Super Bowl Champion. Gifford is a roster filling bum you could find in NFL Europe if it was still around.

Possible starter?

Ouch, bro.

So never happened to you huh? Difference is that I’m man enough to admit I was wrong and you preach from your high horse as if you’ve never been wrong about a player.

Wentz has been injured most of his career, didn’t play in the Super Bowl, got benched and sent to another team where he’s now injured yet again. Ouch. I admitted I was wrong. You haven’t.

 

[Captain-Crash]

nice admittance everybody is wrong at times. good job

Oooh! I bet that really made Risen cry.

I think you’re WAYYY off base on LVE here. Even some of his biggest critics in the media have gone on record that he’s looked great all training camp and looked good in the preseason games too. He’s finally back healthy and I think he’s gonna ball out this season

I think that they may regret not exercising that 5th year option on him.

Jaylon is lucky Hines and Bernard got hurt or Jaylon would have been out there playing in the 4th quarter of preseason games.

You whiffed on Gifford? You are like the little league player that parents cheer when you foul tip a ball.

I feel like I'm whiffing on GG. He's been my pet cat since the Steelers game, but now it seems like Rush will be #2. It happens to all of us.

After he's done winning Super Bowls I'll admit I was wrong.

So using this same criteria I guess you can apologize for Prescott right now. Maybe admit you didn't know who the hell he even was until the Cowboys selected him and your natural fan reflex was just to smother him with kisses.

 

[waving monkey]

LVE can ball and I hope he does.He can get a good contract elsewhere.

May I remind you and @Rockport that you two are blood brothers. Give yourselves a big hug and make up.

How did Neal play better then Parsons? Also, Jaylon and LVE might not even be trying, they both are probably thinking just stay healthy. Cox looked good but it’s the preseason
