BigO Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 2 hours ago, greenwichjetfan said: Was actually extremely surprised he lasted till the 288th pick. He only played less than 6 season due to the career ending neck injury, but in those 5+ seasons, he was unstoppable. No way I thought I’d get a top end WR like that after essentially ignoring the position till now. Extremely pleased with that pick myself. The ocho cinco one I made kind of in a rush because my deadline was coming up, but at his peak, Chad Johnson was the best route runner I’ve ever seen. That plus his explosive quickness off the line and on his cuts made him a star that he otherwise wouldn’t have been given his small frame. He also had a bigger ego than President Chump - no thank you. Dude was as toxic as TO. You should have paired Ocho with TO. What a circus that would have been.

In a make-belief game where we're building teams based solely on our perceptions of the player's greatness, talent wins. Period. I'd take Randy Moss over Jerry Rice, and I would have taken Gronk ahead of Gonzalez for similar reasons. You took Dan Marino with your first pick while guys like Elway and Peyton were still available. Great example of talent over his personality/stupidity/team success. So yea, I'm perfectly good with my picks, thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I took Marino because he’s better than Montana or Elway. But an overall team is also based on chemistry leadership as well as talent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obrien2Toon Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 This is the worst time of the draft, few picks before you’re supposed to go.

Do yourself a favor and do a quick google search for any of the following: - Randy Moss diva - Randy Moss head case - Randy Moss legal trouble I'm not building an overall team full of personalities and temperaments that need to gel in training camp so they can compete in September. I'm building a team to beat your team on paper. Chad Johnson will help me do so because at his peak, he's the best route runner I've ever seen and has the quickness and speed to make up for an otherwise small frame. Now, whether he'll catch the ball when it gets to him after he's broken Deion Sanders' ankles and left him in the dust is an 80-20 proposition, lol.

I said he wasn’t the head case Ocho and TO were. But yes he was a head case but not in the mold of being a prima dona bitching about not getting the ball every down. Every QB that played with TO was sick of the clown. And Ocho was so full of himself he talked himself out the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoiler alert: Moss and TO consistently appeared in articles and polls trying to determine which of them was the bigger head case. Whatever dude, I'm happy with my pick. Sorry it's been so difficult for you to understand that personalities have nothing to do with this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jetsfan80 Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 If people want to vote on personalities, they can and should. It is my view that an NFL locker room can only survive a certain amount of headcases and sociopaths. Once you hit a certain threshold, the team crumbles. It's partly an explanation for why Marvin Lewis has never won a playoff game. His teams are supremely talented, but the more Pac Man Jones' and Vontaze Burfict's you roster, the higher your chances for an implosion, whether that's in the regular season or at a key moment in the playoffs. It's also, of course, a big reason why the 2012 Jets were so friggin terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You take a risk fielding a team with OJ as your back for example. Can’t control voting. But I ask the general public to keep it to football. Some players had awful lives outside of ball. It gets very grey. Now, other players brought their wonky lifestyle or personality ONTO the field - which you should consider, at least in part. Dwayne Bowe at his peak was a #1 wr in the nfl, but he had issues with effort and chemistry all the time. That would be a good example.
