Tim Couch Pulls Out Posted June 10, 2014 Report Share Posted June 10, 2014 That's just lame TC. Rookie qb succeed in the NFL because they're the best of the best- just like rookies at every other position. NFL average talent level is way higher. Bum NFL corners were studs at their respective colleges. And Manziel literally won the award for being the best of the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hoorta Posted June 11, 2014 Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 And Manziel literally won the award for being the best of the best. Now have I done any Manziel bashing lately?

AL_BROWNS_FAN Posted June 11, 2014 Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 It could totally be fake. I just saw it on another board so I posted here. I mean there's an inflatable swan ... I had to Apparently people put him at the event and there are pictures of him wearing the same clothes from earlier in the day He was at the event but all the pictures I have seen were with him wearing a striped shirt. Another poster questioned the picture (taken from rear with Cavs hat on) at NBA finals game and that was when the same clothes (striped shirt) statement was made I believe. Deadspin published the swan picture but with the qualification that they could not verify authenticity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hoorta Posted June 12, 2014 Report Share Posted June 12, 2014 But you literally just said rookie QB's succeed in the NFL because they're the best of the best. Or was that wrong? You're the one who threw Manziel's Heisman into the equation. Based on pro potential, JF got drafted about exactly where he should have. That stupid statue don't mean crap when you get to the pros. Some HOfers- as well as some monumental busts have won it. History says about 30% of first round picks are out of football within 3 years. You arguing just for the sake of arguing? Great college players- especially Heisman quarterbacks don't necessarily cut it in the pros. If the Heisman was the only criteria for NFL greatness Archie Griffin would be the greatest NFL running back of all time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoorta Posted June 12, 2014 Report Share Posted June 12, 2014 You guys like using straw man arguments. I doubt you will find a single person that would say that winning the heisman guarantees NFL success. Please find me this person you are using as your example. I think TC is just trying to give me a hard time. This personal debate has turned into a circular argument- mostly based on using the exception (on TC's part) and using nit picking semantics to try and make me look bad. Ergo- me: best of the best succeed the NFL TC: rookie qbs that succeed are best of best, inferring Heisman winners are exactly that. JF: Heisman= best of best me: Heisman does not always = best of best of best in pros. I think we really need to lock this thread and start JF II, it's gotten far too long.

Tim Couch Pulls Out Posted June 12, 2014 Report Share Posted June 12, 2014 Do you think there's a billion threads on the Redskins forum about Alfred Morris? What about Brian Orakpo? Do you think there's a billion threads on the Colts forum about Coby Fleener? Do you think there's a billion threads on the Jaguars forum about Toby Gerhardt? You guys pine for a big name quarterback, then bitch when he's the only thing that everyone talks about. It's absolutely fucking hilarious.

miktoxic Posted June 12, 2014 Report Share Posted June 12, 2014 yep he's a big name QB, in name only, so far. the only people bitching are the fans that think if someone doesn't post manziel as the best thing since sliced bread they think it's a negative attack. the guy said they should lock THIS thread. not that you couldn't start a new one. lost that sense of humor. someone run over your dog?
