Whenever you say it's around 80% (Presumably by dividing 39 by 50) it shows someone who does not know what they are talking about. Furthermore, 98th percentile is not "towards the upper end" of the bell curve, its pretty much an outlier value.

So simple math is not knowing what I'm talking about? Tell me something, was I correct in saying that 39 of 50 is less than 80%? Yes, I absolutely was.

I was referring directly to probability distribution when I said that? No, I was not.

You just felt the need to act like an *** and tell the Internet they are wrong to drive your own agenda. Most commonly referred to as a blowhard.

Xavier's 39 score was better than both Tony Romo (37) and Tom Brady (33) -- I'd say that's fairly convincing that he's reasonably intelligent.

It's the Calvin Johnson issue. Lol the Heath haters always go back to that. He's gotten better every year

Agree. He was able to get several picks last year, more than our other DB's contributed.

He shall be known now as Professor X

Good one. For me Professor X with degrees in Termination & Elimination would be fitting if he turns out to be what we think he is....

Then I will give you a chance to prove yourself correct. If you weren't referring to distribution of scores when you told us all that 39/50 is around 80%, what on Earth were you referring to?

That's what truly encourages me, I think they all had their best years this year. Church, Carr, Claiborne, Wilcox, Heath, and even the rookie Brown was solid. And given that improvement happened across the board, I have great faith in this current coaching staff and their ability to coach up all of these rookies, and the remaining secondary guys like Jones, Scandrick, Carroll, and Heath as well.

That's a good guess, but I think that's all that it is.

I like the coodinator coaching. It really was a big mystery how all these guys that have basically stunk it up most of their careers suddenly got good. Wilcox was a beast out there and prior he was the worst safety I had EVER seen. I just chalked it up to time in the system, continuity, and leadership and attitude brought on by Dak and the offense. Not sure what the right answer is.

Several reasons, not just one.

Not reasons, I meant how much money and years of the contract.

For a similar amount to what Church got in his deal several years ago. Spin that one into the sewer.

Numbers would be helpful for conversation sake.

I'm putting my money on the coaching changes. Henderson out, Jackson in. I can't see another rational explanation for improvement from every secondary player on the team.

Jackson is one of the main reasons I see Lewis being the best DB from this draft class at least in year one. He is already familiar with Jackson as a coach. Huge upgrade from Henderson.

Ok, but then you cant just think that any old player is going to come in and be the play making demon we need. Im just not seeing the Heath thing.

I'm not. I'm saying what the coaches accomplished with the players we had in 2016 gives me confidence that they can do the same for the players we have now.

Im just not seeing the Heath thing.

I don't think the bar has been set particularly high. And I see a player in Heath with solid measurables who has continually improved. No more, no less.

$1 million a year less than what they were paying Church. Indicative of very little, especially considering the fact that they were already paying Church when they re-signed Heath.

Do you think Church is capable of being a difference maker safety on a championship caliber team?

Based on what he's done thus far in his career? No.

The Jaguars liked him a lot more than I did and I'm very, very glad that the Cowboys didn't pay him that contract.

Church had his time and had his chances.

And now Heath gets his.

Sorry, I meant Heath. Do you think Heath can be?

I think that the best way that I could say it is that I don't know that he can't be.

I hope that doesn't come across as a cop-out answer, but it's the most honest one I can give you.

The book is out on Barry Church, what he is, and what he isn't. I don't think it is on Heath yet.
