If Metcalf were here LaFleur would have him on the bench for not knowing how to play kickoff gunner.

DK Metcalf's resume not even a full 3 years into his career:

172 receptions, 2644 yards, 22 TD's.

Shannon Sharpe's resume 3 full years into his career;

82 receptions, 1,000 yards, 4 TD's

 

In his next 3 years, Sharpe had 231 Receptions, 2761 yards, and 17 TD's. I guess you could argue that Metcalf could improve later, but I think Sharpe just had a rougher start. Could be wrong

I'm just pointing out that Metcalf is way ahead of Sharpe at this point in their careers. 

Do you see Metcalf's performance dropping off?   Why would he put up similar numbers?

Then you have a good point. I actually don't see Metcalf's performance dropping off, but I don't think that he will improve in the way Sharpe did between his first 3 years to next 3. Although Metcalf doesn't have much room for improvement anyways.

It's not quite a fair comp as Sharpe barely played his first two seasons.  I don't recall why but if you take his first 3 full seasons, you get:

2,635 yards on 221 catches and 17 TDs.  Also keep in mind he was a TE in an era when TEs didn't really compete with WRs the way they do now.  In fact, he led all TEs in 1992 in yards and again in 1993 when he was 10th in the NFL.  Sharpe's career wasn't quite long enough to put him on par with Gates, Gonzalez and some others in terms of overall stats, but he was pretty much the top TE in the game for a number of seasons.  Metcalf is one of the best young WRs in the game right now.  All my point was before is that Metcalf sounds like an idiot disparaging a guy like Sharpe.  Disagree if you like, but the rest of his tweet was the work of a complete idiot.

Shannon never had a year his entire 13 year career, statistically speaking, as good DK's 2nd season in the NFL and DK is currently on pace to improve upon last years production.  It's great for Shannon to rub his Super Bowl rings in someone's face but that is largely out of an individual players control.  Shannon played on some all time great teams, that he was just a piece of the puzzle.  Is Tony G. a lesser player than Shannon Sharpe because he never won a Super Bowl?  Ofcourse not. 

I see that I'm in the minority, but I find it quite obnoxious IMO for Sharpe to sh*t on such a young, special player, so he can look high and mighty on Tweeter.   Especially one that was 10x better than you at the same point in his career.

Honestly it wasn't a great idea to talk a bunch of crap about Metcalf, but the way he replied was just as dumb. As I think multiple others have said, Social Media brings out the worst in people. Hope it doesn't hurt any previous relationship they might have had.

Right.  So Shannon Sharpe wasnt even good enough to play at the same point in his career, while DK Metcalf is torching the league.  More reason for Shannon to STFU. 

Yeah, I do disagree.  I think Shannon Sharpe is being a dbag for calling him out on Tweeter to begin with because what grown as man would do something so childish?  All Metcalf told him to was stop worrying about him and Shannon doubled down and came with back with some childish bs capitalizing the words DUMB ASS in his post bragging about this resume to kid a 2 years and 6 games into his career.

Shannon Sharpe is ******* moron, there is that too.

Shannon Sharpe is 53 years old and started a tweeter war with a 23 year old kid.

Meh while true, it was a different era, in 1994 when Shannon finally deserved the right to play Football 3 years into his career, Jerry Rice caught 112 balls for 1500 yards and 13 TD's.  He was one of 20 WR to eclipse 1k in yards that season.   That very season, his brother, Sterling, caught 18 TD passes.  

DK is an absolute freak with after burners, he would have been just fine back then.

I’m not saying DK wouldn’t be good, but he should be humble and not look to attack a HOF with his media hot takes. These guys are using the games to self promote their platforms, DK will probably do the same thing to others one day.

When Shannon retired, wasn't he #1 in receptions by a tight end?  It is very hard to compare passing and receiving stats from just 15 years ago to players of today.

He is in the hall of fame, got multiple super bowl rings, he had a pretty amazing career.

Oh, and he was right.   It was a poor play by Metcalf.

[jgb]

DK is wrong here. Whether you think you're better than someone is not relevant to (a) the substance of Sharpe's comment; and (b) just the normal human being thing of showing respect to a great that came before you.

 

[TheNuuFaaolaExperience]

A hall of fame, multiple time pro bowler, multiple time Super Bowl champion TE who is also a commentator made a harsh comment about a player. Boo ******* hoo! How fragile is your ego when you respond by calling that commentator a little boy? Shannon Sharpe is doing his job, and the WR is not. Who comes off looking like a punk? Not Shannon Sharpe. Want to shut Shannon Sharpe up? Stop making stupid plays.

Every village has its idiot, as they say. In the past, these people were conveniently ignored or -- if their views were odious enough -- mocked and shunned. Now with social media, every village's idiot can find each other and create "communities." Hence the surge in anti-vax and flat Earth nonsense.
