Keon drops 60 in Damar's celebrity basktball gam
Brand J replied to stevewin's topic in The Stadium Wall
You said that Moss “could’ve made a career as a starter on an NBA team,” a statement you’ve wisely walked back from. Your assertion that Moss was good enough to ride the bench on an early 2000s Knicks team (or any other team for that matter) is still fallacy. Did you listen to Moss in that YouTube video? Where he admitted to being discouraged and realizing he didn’t have a basketball future when he participated at a high school all star competition? It’s okay to take the L here. Moss wasn’t running a team at point, breaking guys down off the dribble, or splashing threes, all prerequisites for the 1 and 2 positions where he would’ve had to play. Ask yourself honestly: could Moss run a team at point? No? Okay, was he skilled enough to play the two guard? No? He wasn’t good enough, skill wise, to even start on a high level division 1 collegiate basketball team, yet you’re trying to put him on an NBA roster. Sure. -
In a vacuum his production could be close to replicated. I think his explosive plays and his athletic ability is underrated. With his style of running its so smooth he looks slow. The explosive run getting 30-40-50+ instead of 20-25 is what you are giving up. They both count as explosives runs but one limits the defense in ways the other does not. That is what in my opinion warrants a Rb getting paid. You can rinse and repeat 4 yards a carry 1,000 yards. Having a guy who can take it 50 plus at any time is a different animal. I think that element Cook brings is the hardest to find and replicate consistently.

Again.....didn't say he wasn't good.....said he isn't very smart. As to your comment about the Media not helping him......who do you think votes for the MVP???? As to Henry......before the Ravens got Henry, the excuse from the Media was "there isn't enough help around him"...... now that they have Henry, the Media still blames everyone else but Jackson when they lose. It has been reported that Jackson travels to New York to party on the weekdays in between games, and does not watch a lot of film to try to make himself a more well-rounded QB.....these are signs of a player who isn't too smart, IMO. Also, I am not sure if the last line of your post insinuated A racial component to my arguement, but there are plenty of smart Black QB's in the league......there are also plenty of dumb White QB's in the league....race is not a factor here.

Keon drops 60 in Damar's celebrity basktball gam
Mr. WEO replied to stevewin's topic in The Stadium Wall
well "99% of other basketball players" includes you and me..so what? anyway, guys like the one's I listed aren't good pro players. they simply aren't. Moss could have easily sat on the Knicks bench throughout the early 2000's and racked up 1.9 minutes per game over a season. NBA roster has 15 active players. Moss is as tall or taller than 6 guys on the roster, including 3 starters. There's not much reason to believe that a garbage time scrub on a 17-65 team (Jaden Springer on the Jazz, for instance) is going to school a prime young Moss on the court. people commonly make the error of concluding that, since a player is on a pro roster, that they are simply better at that sport than every other player who didn't make it. that fallacy is revealed when we see crappy players like Ryan Leaf and Nate Peterman starting games. you would have to be crazy to believe that either of those bums would "school 99%" of all other QBs in the country, simply because they made a roster. Well, Izzo never played him-he obviously felt he was more likely to excel at football than at basketball, hence the kind advice. If he was that good, he would never have made him choose. Why on earth would he? plenty of NFL guys played a lot of D1 basketball. It's easy to conclude that Coleman's game was not as good as any of those guys. -

You would have to take Tom Izzo’s word for it. Pre draft he did an interview and said he thought Keon had the potential to be a pro basketball player. After his freshman season he made Keon make a choice football or basketball. Coleman picked football. Now could Izzo have swayed him to focus on football we would never know. Overall, Keon is one of the last and few 2 sport athletes. Rarely do you see double scholarship players. His game is real. The level he could have reached will always be an unknown. His game is better just about anybody you will ever meet. -

I should apologize for singling out public workers since so many projects are bid out to contractors. Many think the workers on roads and sewers are their municipality employees standing around. They all look the same in their neon green t-shirts and reflective vests. -

I'm gonna spell this out just once, so people can link this tweet to the knuckle-dragging, mouth-breathing, *****-eating simian creatures that whine about BoOtS oN tHe GrOuNd as if America's going to conduct a land invasion of Iran with eleventy gorillion troops and fight in the caves for a generation: Everything that makes Iran a problem comes from a factory, and those factories can be vaporized from the air. Most US casualties in Iraq were caused by sophisticated off-route EFP mines mass-produced by Iran. The rockets fired at Israel in such massive quantities that it threatened to deplete Israeli Iron Dome interceptor stocks and overwhelm their systems? Mass produced by Iran. The drones and missiles the Houthis used to close the Bab-El-Mandab strait, and thus the Suez canal, one of the most economically vital sea lines of communication in existence? Mass-produced by Iran. The SRBMs being fired at Ukraine by Russia? Mass-produced and delivered to them by Iran. The massive heavy MRBM arsenal they've been attempting to mass-murder Israeli civilians with and have used to threaten and coerce everyone else in the region, reaching as far as southern Europe/Italy? Mass-produced by Iran. None of this happens without Iranian mass weapon production, many millions of dollars in fiscal support and Iranian military advisors, leadership and intel support. You don't get the kind of problems in that region from six ***** clowns making home-made grenades out of soda bottles, bathtub explosives and rusty nails. Anti-ship ballistic missiles aren't cobbled together by ***** Jihad Cletus in his garage. Blow up the Iranian military-industrial complex, take out their nuclear program, and these problems go away. Forever. And if they try to build them again? You blow them up again. There isn't a hole deep enough for them to climb in. We built a massive, 30,000 pound bunker-busting bomb to make doubly god-damned sure of it. There is never, at any possible point in time, any ***** reason whatsoever to put a single god-damned ***** "boot" on the "ground" in Iran. Every single "Forever War" in the Middle East is caused and perpetuated by Iran, and the only consequences for us ending it would be a three percent bump in Lockheed Martin stock.

Still 6 for the season ticket holders. -
Well, you said he’s in a system designed for him so he doesn’t deserved to be MVP. How else would someone interpret that? I didn’t realize the media was helping him play quarterback. Also didn’t know a future first ballot hof rb was standing next to him his entire career. You’re making a lot of assumptions about someone you don’t know. He’s clearly on the upper echelon of players in the NFL. He probably doesn’t fit your idea of a typical qb but that doesn’t mean he isn’t a great player.
