No, Edleman didn't win SB MVP because of his physical prowess, he won it because of his brain and experience. He knows how to find the hole(s) in a defense, and then he goes there. Like the old baseball adage "hit 'em where they ain't." Brady knows this, and knows if he sees a hole in the coverage anywhere near Edleman's route, that Edleman will find it, and be there. There's both chemistry and trust involved here, and both are dependent upon experience with each other, and then familiarity with what you're up against in terms of the opponent and their scheme. More than anything, I believe that's what Marcus missed with Delanie out last season. bosss50, Soxcat, and Justafan 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walker actually does get open because of physical prowess. Edited February 7, 2019 by abc2330 bosss50 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I'm laughing at is Sox using the Pats as an example of a team that needed a great WR bc they "almost" lost the Super bc they didn't have one, ignoring that they made it there and won it thus negating his arguement. But then once pressed about it, claiming Edelman was a great WR.... thus negating using them as an example of a team almost losing bc they didn't have a great WR. It was just a hilarious convoluted clusterfuck of a point that I found entertaining. bosss50, Justafan, TitanDuckFan, and 1 other 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the Steelers are more inclined to move him than the Bengals or Falcons are with their guys. Eh, idk. The Bengals have Tyler Boyd who really came on strong this past year and they also have John Ross who could potentially break out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The point of my post wasn't about Ross and his potential. It was about why the Bengals may be open to trading Green. You think his ceiling is mere potential and that may turn out to be true down the road. But you don't know how the Bengals view/value Ross. Even if Ross is nothing but potential, the Bengals are the ones who drafted him. It wouldn't be the first mistake they've ever made and it wouldn't be the last.

No. I just know how anybody in their right mind would probably look at John Ross. Number 9 overall pick, 219 yards total, in two years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DecepticonShawn Posted February 8, 2019 Report Share Posted February 8, 2019 Amari Cooper is 24. Aj Green is 30. Makes no sense. Id take Aj for a 3rd like someone else said but a first at this point no. titanruss 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But If im the GM I would trade down this draft to acquire more 2020 picks and prepare to move on from Mariota, if he doesnt have a good season of course.
