If Tebow was really that good wouldint he have been taken earleir in the draft? We are not the only so called experts out there. If he was good enough Ryan barring the rib injury would have played him more. Whether or not its racial , religious or whatever maybe a lot of the people in the business know a little more than most of us. I am still going to argue white wr's, rbs and dbs don't get chances because of the caste system but with qb that sentiment is not quite as prevalent. Maybe... MAYBE Tebow is not good enough. As I said in other threads I would love to see the Patriots utilize Welker, Gronk, Edelman and Woodhead more but in the end of the day the coach right or wrong is going to go with what he thinks is the best. Clearly Sanchez is an awful qb but what does that say about Ryan's beliefs in Tebow?
please stop, you sound just like the typical dwf. Why did Toby Gerhart fall? Why isn't Brian Leonard given a chance now that he isn't behind Steven Jackson? Why did Scott Frost have to play safety? why did Eric Crouch have to play wr when Michael Vick got to stay at qb? When exactly has a White dual threat qb gotten a chance to play qb? Steve Young? why did he have to wait for years behind Joe Montana? why didn't he start with the Buccaneers? Why doesn't Tannehill get to run option plays like Rg3 like he did at Texas A&M? he can run, he was a wideout for 2 years
you act like these scouts and coaches are the brightest people in the world. They spend a ridiculous amount of time with football yet many aren't that great. Rex Ryan doesn't know squat about offense and is going to be out of a job, and probably back to dc next year. Ive been around college coaches, met scouts, I go to the Senior Bowl almost every year got to meet some cool guys whoopty doo, but they aren't the brightest people. Many don't think outside of the box. Would I call it stereotypical thinking or is it group think? Nobody likes to go too far out with their opinions in the scouting community, they copy off of each other for the most part and change things up just a little bit. I mean I had a scout tell me that Brian Cushing of all people was "not the most athletic guy"
Josh McDaniels gets a lot of **** on here for his treatment of Hillis, but he was one of the few guys to think outside of the box with Tebow, by drafting him, letting him run some "wildcat" plays his first year while developing him, remember how guys used to sit and learn for a few seasons? kind of like how black qbs get 5 years to play not so with Whites, not only can they not sit and learn, they have to produce right away. Why is that? thats not the caste system is it? couldn't be..... Could it be that McDaniels KNEW Tebow could play because Bellicheck sent him out to UF before the 2007 season to incorporate aspects of the UF passing offense into the Patriots offense? His packages for Tebow during his rookie year were much more creative than the crap that Rex Ryan had him running this year. If McDaniels wasn't fired, who knows, maybe we see Tebow run his full UF offense in Denver? He wasn't fair to Hillis but he is a smarter coach in terms of offensive schemes and even he screws up, trying to recreate the 2007 Patriots offense with Lloyd playing the role of Randy Moss...didn't happen but he kept forcing it for like 5 games. Stubborn. Just like how the more denver fans called for Hillis the more he reduced his role. And there are many coaches not even close to being as bright as McDaniels that are stubborn in their ways.
you believe White rbs, wrs are discriminated against but not dual threat qbs? its the same thing. They only envision blacks that can be runners in the NFL, if Whites did it in college its always "won't translate to the NFL", if they did it in high school its "won't translate to college". The same **** they say about White receivers and runningbacks. If a White guy can run then he better have great passing skills and learn how to stay in the pocket. Look at Jake Locker, why did he fall? Why isn't he used on option plays, he ran them at Washington. Yeah someone said because of his injury issues you don't want to run him, like staying in the pocket and getting hit from the blindside has done him any favors.
Why are they ALREADY putting down Johnny Manziel as a pro prospect after his FRESHMAN year, one of the most amazing players I have ever seen, oh "it won't translate to the NFL"
as far as Welker, Edelman, Woodhead and Gronk,I think Bellicheck is trying to use as many guys as possible without getting called out for being "racist", he can't have Woodhead as a feature back getting 1k rushing, have Gronk get 1k with Welker getting 100 receptions while Edelman is the deep threat playing where Lloyd is right now. That just wouldn't fly right now. He is doing what he thinks is best within the limits of the caste system. He has already pushed the limits further than most coaches, he might have to go farther to win the Superbowl, and with as White as his team is, they might have to win the Superbowl this year in order for them to keep the ratio of Whites on the team the same.
everyone is saying that the Sanders comparison to Woodhead is ridiculous HERE on caste football but it isn't that ridiculous. Woodhead can make people miss just as well imo, they just have different styles, Sanders was more fluid in his moves while Woodhead looks more like a darter. Sanders would get -2, 2 yard, 1 then a 40 yarder. Not a guy you would want to have if you want consistency and keep drives alive. Woodhead is pretty consistent, 3 yard gain, 5 yard gain, 10 yard gain, and this is all running pretty much the same play. He averaged 4.6 ypc last year without breaking off a run longer than 12, and it was mostly draws in the hurry up. If he got to run more of a variety then he would be breaking off bigger plays like in 2010. Now if he were more like Sanders in terms of consistency, I would understand why Ridley and Lawfirm got the ball more than him, because they move the chains. Right now, thats all Bellicheck really needs out of his backs, consistency to move the chains and keep defenses honest against the pass. He doesn't really need big plays from them right now in order to win, thats what the passing game is for, but as we saw, it started to fall off the past few weeks without Gronk because nobody can get open with all the coverage on Welker, Hernandez catches 10 out of 19 targets? thats almost 50 percent. Without Woodhead last week I don't think they get back in the game like they did. Hopefully that increases his role in the future but with Gronk back its unlikely.
you come off as a troll way too much and its comments like this that make it worse.
