Is Hamlin ever getting a contract?

No, I picked up on it.

I wasn't implying that was all you could say, I was saying that your reasons for disliking Hamlin are so ridiculous that you couldn't have watched the games, but since you said you did, I asked what else could be said for you being so misinformed.

So because it appears to be for no logical reason I just assume you don't like the guy and have a man crush on Watkins..........along with being uninformed.

No I'm just not going crazy over again who's play was average and is going to ask for to much money whereas Watkins can get the job down and have similar result if not better.

all of em except the lions game since it was on NFL network.

The Lions game was not on the NFL Network. Our game with Green Bay was on the NFL Network, for what it's worth.

oh I saw the Packer game cuz I went to my friend house and he is a Packer fan that was a good game.
 
I think Hamlin is the effect the best since Woodson. Similar to Bledsoe was the best since Aikman (sad really).

But personally I want Hamlin back. But I do not want to pay him big money.

I also think Watkins can be a player. No I don't have any "evidence". But call it a gut feeling.

I want Hamlin back but I do not want to pay him alot of money.

You said Hamlin is average. Average means (roughly) "middle of the pack."

There are 32 starting safeties in the NFL.

Thus, for Hamlin to be average, there must be at least 15 better Free Safeties in the NFL.

So, NAME 15 BETTER FREE SAFETIES IN THE NFL.

Because you think he is average, you must think there are 15 better ones in the NFL.

So prove your point and name them.

median means middle

average can be altered if there is a real high or low number

lets say you and me and bill gates were in a room and we took the average networth lets just save that would be high for all of us ;D

Consider yourselves told.
 
Watkins=Deer in headlights.
Hamlin compared to Watkins is a freaking ball hawk..:spanking::clubbed:

Watkins issue is getting into position and not biting on fakes, not his ball skills, in my opinion.
 
Its all about how you recognize whats going down and position yourself.
And Watkins has not shown anything there so far.

he wouldn't been on the team or getting any playing time if he hasn't shown anything so far it's not as if he is like BCarp.

What point are you trying to make?

Guess you missed the part where I said:

Average means (roughly) "middle of the pack."

I knew that someone would make an asinine point like you just did, which is why I clarified that the term can roughly be approximated to mean "middle of the pack."

And for what it is worth, when you are talking about the relative quality of discrete and finite fungible goods, then average quality does mean "middle of the pack." Your income analogy is inapposite because it is using a different definition of average in a situation where the value tested can be defined (net worth is definable numerically; football value is not). "Average" can, but does not always refer to arithmetic mean--the concept you were describing. In arithmetic mean in the analogy you used, the goal is to find out the central tendency in light of standard deviations of variable magnitude to arrive at an expected value of a calculable data set. But arithmetic mean is useless unless the set can be ascribed a definable value.

But when you are discussing the issue that we are, which is where a player is rated among a data set of 1 to 32, average can and typically does to in conversational dialogue mean, roughly, "middle of the pack." The term is not used to refer to arithmetic mean nor could it be used to find arithmetic mean because the relative quality of players is incalculable because you have no numerical value that can be assigned to each player's quality.

Or, in short, don't make stupid petty points unless it is relevant to the discussion. And don't bother trying to correct me again.

Hahaha, someone broke out their highschool statistics book, I see?

His point was that DaBoys said he was average (which I don't agree with), and you said name 15 better. Depending on how "rough" and "approximate" you wanted to be, he could have had to name anything from 5 better to 27 better.

In truth it doesn't matter what he, you or I think as far as Hamlin's value in relation to the rest of the leagues safeties though, so don't get too worked up.

Math books? ****, I haven't taken a lick of math in decades. I hated math back in school. The biggest reason I became a lawyer is because I didn't want to ever have to do math. There is no way I would have kept a math book for anything other than kindling.

This is largely a stupid argument, and as someone who hates math, I can't tell you how aggravating it is to log on and see someone jumping on one of my comments because it is not correct in some narrow mathematical sense.

It's too early in the morning for that. At least wait until I have had a few drinks.
 
Watkins is a decent special teams player, but beyond that he's not shown much. The thing he's most remembered for to this point is when Bill Parcells made him cry on national television and glued him to the pine.

Just funnin' with ya Pat.

To be fair the biggest play the guy ever made was when Chris Canty blocked a Ryan Longwell FG and Watkins returned it 68 yards for a TD.
