Louis Riddick not impressed with Melton

[jterrell]

Yep, Rod Marinelli should consult with Riddick the expert.

probably should have when he was coaching Detroit... maybe he wins a game.

 

[DeaconMoss]

I am happy with Rod churning the DL roster all day every day. If we find another Selvie or three, we can rebuild on the cheap, plus the draft, the DL will be fine.

In Rod I trust.

 

[jterrell]

Yeah, who would want a 27 year old Pro Bowl DT who excels in both run stopping and pass rushing? Not me.

if he excelled at either he'd already be signed.
he doesn't.
he is a solid player not a stud in any area.

he was 1 of 9 DTs to make the Pro Bowl that year.... how could we possibly not sign him???

He was the #1 Rated rushing DT and #5 rated run stopping DT before he got hurt.

I would call that "excelling".

Don't use facts, you're interfering with somebody's agenda.

That's the main thing here. Marinelli knows Melton. There are probably very few folks with a better understanding of Melton than him. When gauging what you'll get from the player, and what to offer him, Marinelli is the perfect resource.

ROFL... rated by whom and when?
He had a total of 5 combined tackles and 0 sacks last year.

And he left town without a deal.
Wonder if that's because Rod so badly wanted him?

love it when people with agenda's talk about agendas....

 

[Zimmy Lives]

We know he can get hurt....from what people are saying he might be lucky to get going by training camp...

Yup! Melton would never get hurt. Oh, wait…..

 

[Zimmy Lives]

As bad as you think Melton is, he's 100x better than anyone we have. That's scary!!!

Actually, I like the guy but his bum knee and propensity to bite people worries me. Sounds like Rat-lite.

Probably his agent thinks he can still get a better deal. Wrong or right. The longer it goes on, the more money will get spent, and the pool of bidders will dry up.

I guess the Cowboys didn't overspend.

Well as i am told constantly he had 20 of those guys last year and hit on ONE. Not a great ratio of success.......

And he hit on ONE in his time in chicago too. All hail Rod!!

 

[Yakuza Rich]

But he was terrible in two whole games in 2013. You just cannot compete with that.

You realize that Riddick is stating why Melton is on the market.

Oh wait...no....you don't.

If Melton was so great, he would have been picked up by now.

Apparently the other 31 teams are idiots as well because he's still on the market.

Nobody considers the context of a situation when they argue on here. It is quite amusing.

 

[noshame]

Like I said, do your homework and find a Melton in the 4-7 round. He isn't all that.

Yep, all those teams that draft QBs in the top 10 are wasting their time and resources. Just trade down to the 6th round. That's where Tom Brady was drafted; therefore, the 6th round is probably full of similar players.

 

[CyberB0b]

I'm not that impressed with him either, but even with one leg he is better than anyone who plays DT on our roster right now. You have to overpay at this point.
