I thought Tapper was a player that should have been cut because he never did anything but be a 3rd round pick.

Cray...




YR

Wasn't he hurt last season

These people wanted Irvin gone in 1990 what am I talking about!

Can someone explain to me why Brown's INT was not ruled simultaneous catch, which would go to the offense? Obviously, it worked out better for us but to me it looked like he never had full control until Shepard took the ball. I was sure the INT ruling would be reversed.

To me it looked like Brown caught the ball then the Giants WR came up and grabbed it. That's not a simultaneous catch.

They both had really good games.


I think Anthony Brown has potential to become an elite player.

He is a sound player and he makes plays on the ball.

I don't get how a player with his measurable goes in the 6th round but i'll take it.
Very bad SR year.

I read somewhere that he was looked at as not facing NFL level competition during his time at Purdue. I am not sure why that would be the conclusion, the Big 10 certainly has NFL level receivers.

PLEASE realize I'm NOT comparing Tapper to Charles Haley....but he did RESEMBLE Haley's frame and quickness coming around the corner. We haven't had anything close to that since Charles left. We were hoping it would be Galloway, but well....it wasn't. If Tapper can stay healthy, I love his potential.

Randy Galloway ranks right up there with Joey Gregory as biggest disappointments for me as a Cowboys fan.

I was thinking the same thing last night with his burst. Aesthetically it reminded me of Charles. It caught my eye.

But also thinking the same as an overall comparison - he's not Haley.

Obviously need to see a bigger sample size but very promising. I really don't think Eli is an especially good QB anymore and the Giants barely have an OL, so let's see how they do against a stud like Trevor Siemian.

Side note -- anyone see what Carl Lawson did? I checked his stat line at Rotoworld and NFL.com and he doesn't show up at all. Seems to cast doubt on PFF's other analysis.

As best I understand... PFF is going through each play and making eye-ball assessments of each play. You might have a guy with with no sacks but he's getting lots of repeated pressure...impacting game....whom they'd give a high grade.

I can't speak one way or another to how good a job they do with there eye-ball assessments, but just fyi.

That draft may have put us years ahead of schedule..

Almost every player is performing like a first round pick.
You're 100% right. That's exactly what happened....IMO, this was suppose to be a three year plan....with how good they drafted it jumped to the plan being now. Not only did they get starters but they got potential game changers.

Not to sit here and act like the pro bowl is a great indicator of talent but you may have got 5 in one draft. As a fan this is what you hope for....I think we all felt that last year we needed a draft like the year we got Ware, Ratliff, etc. which was a tall order...they did it even better.

Next person to post PFF stats gets shanked

They've honestly gotten a lot better since early on when they were a startup of about 25 people. They employ well over 500 now, I believe.

I think they should personally have 46 people working per game - one for each active player down each roster.
