There are some GMs that mostly care about measurables; others may mostly care about talent even if they have attitude or problems (BB comes to mind). Some GMs want a player who loves the game - when comparing two players with similar talent/measurables, JD wants good character, team players who love to play. If two players are close, he will go for the guy with heart even over a player with a little bit more talent. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ve certainly cornered that market. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just caught the second half of the Jets Giants preseason game on NFL Network and our third stringers we're playing their asses off. Listen no matter what line of work you're in character matters. I worked in the auto glass industry since 1997 I was always a manager and I've always trained young dudes. It's not just about the mechanics in art form. It's about getting them to think but getting them to grow with their relationships with their parents, with their girlfriends, with their children to be better men. Same as I've said I've played in bands for almost 40 years and I'll take a guy who can play five different instruments and is inspired to show up anytime any day over any virtuoso beauty queen. Now I can't guarantee we're going to be in a Super Bowl, but like the HC said there are guys that play football because they love football and there are guys who play football because of what football brings them. We want guys who love football~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We want guys who love football~ I want guys who are good at football whatever their motivation. Great HC figure out what motivates the guys with great football skills and tries to push the right buttons. Applied talent, developed to operate at max potential takes good teachers who are flexible enough to figure out how to get through. Love is often developed by results. Coaches have a responsibility to teach and bring out potential. They don’t get to demand love. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greenbloodblitz Posted September 5, 2022 Author Share Posted September 5, 2022 Thanks for the replies and like I said I was speaking of the character and the types of players that JD has brought in. Also how he and the HC agree on that. I'm not into the Antonio Brown types. There ain't no "l" in team and there ain't no "We" either? Garrett Wilson doesn't act like that neither does Braxton Berrios. These dudes are easy to root for cuz they're more humble even though they can play their asses off.

BloodGreen Posted September 6, 2022 Share Posted September 6, 2022 Floor = 6 wins and competitive week after week with our very young and talented roster. Ceiling = 12 wins and we get demolished in the divisional round. I will be very happy with either. Call me crazy, but that’s the way I see it after a more than moderate amount of brown liquor!
