Some random recruit from the past who committed elsewhere! psych!! LOL ROTFLMAO /select all, copy, paste, in next "buckle up" thread. |

7 caps is actually quite a few at an international level, especially if you're at the tier where you're fighting to get looks. He's too small to be a physical striker and doesn't have international speed or on the ball skill to make up for it, and those USMNT games were against some less than top level talent. Also as you alluded to, he blew that clear chance in the Gold Cup. I'd rather spend time looking at the youngsters than a guy who'll be 31 by the next World Cup, and the kindest way to put his past performances is that he hasn't shown he CAN hack it in many opportunities, even if he hasn't definitively written himself off the team forever. |

I did not recall David Terrell playing defensive back at all. I guess that was the reverse-Woodson effect in those days. |

Are there years of proof that drafting based on measurables doesn't work? Or are those failures just the most publicized anecdotes? Obviously you can come up with a million examples of a guy without great measurables who was drafted late and is successful, but that's sort of like arguing recruiting rankings don't matter because look at all the 2-3 stars who become all-conference. The total numbers of 5th round-undrafted picks are so different from, say, the number of first rounders, that it's basically useless information. And there are tons of guys who were great in college, who didn't have "NFL-measurables," were drafted late/undrafted, and failed in the NFL or never made it all. Which "proves" the opposite. |

He's been fine, but not impactful. He was better at the start of the season, taking on defenders and creating in the box, and at the time it seemed like the finishing would come. Then, if you watched the African Cup of Nations championship game, you saw him DECLINE TO TAKE A PENALTY! Ivory Coast took 7 or 8 penalties, he ducked out of the first 5, then when they needed someone, he shook his head. Ridiculous. Anyway, the point is it's clear that he's not a scorer, he's not a finisher, and that part of his game doesn't exist, so he's basically early-stage Theo but a little slower with a little more on-the-ball skill (Theo has since become a solid though not exceptional scorer). I don't think he has a long term place if the squad is actually upgraded.

You know how many yards Blount rushed for under Chip Kelly? 82 yards total.

Valuable information for people who don't click on every dumbass topic gets posted within a thread that provides no new information or insight in its opening post, which a reasonable reader would skip because many people don't care to read a thread about mgoblog users' predictions of the score or events of a meaningless scrimmage. And then someone else has the audacity to post a meaningful, useful thread title that actually conveys information.....and he/she gets shit on because he/she thought the rest of us didn't want to read through a useless pre-spring game spring game open thread. Which thread is a greater waste of space: "let's predict the score for the spring game!!" or "the game might be moved indoors and no longer available to the public"

his music certainly, but John Mayer is a phenomenal guitar player when he's not doing pop songs. |
