Phillips has beautiful cursive writing. I wonder how many kids today can write in cursive. There is much more to communication then texting and instagram
not going to lie, i'm envious of his penmanship.

Maronne and Hacket were idiots trying to run a no huddle offense here with rookie WR's and a rookie QB.. It/They were doomed from day 1
we were doomed when they drafted EJ Manuel because he was good at running read option (after the one good year of read option w/ Kaepernick) even though at FSU Manuel sucked at any type of read option

With the exception of maybe Blount, those comparisons are a little over the top. Thurman Thomas and Barry Sanders were physically inferior in many ways to other RBs. Stephen Hill compared athletically with Calvin Johnson and Randy Moss...Physical comparisons don't mean much without production.
I've said before that I like this pick, he's good on ST's and a nice project to work on at RB...but people are getting carried away. He was replaced by Cook this year at FSU, and it was no contest who the better RB was. His stats look nice on paper, but he had some serious weak spots in his game that need to be developed (Balance, Vision, Instinct)...Hence the 5th round grade.
KW could end up being a pretty nice player, but comparing him to those mentioned above is setting the bar excessively high.
being replaced by dalvin cook isn't really a knock against karlos- dalvin cook is a future 1st round draft pick. but i agree with you.

I'm not a major expert, but I do not see bad vision in the above video.
I've watched literally every snap of his while he was @ FSU. That is an entire highlight of his 2013 year- nothing from last year. He looked much better in 2013 when he mostly ran outside without having to let blocks set up.

I'm surprised Bowden didn't go to bat for Winston. He's got a track record with FSU rapists.
well, to wit, winston has been accused of rape. who has been cleared by 3 (or was it 6?) different people/systems. which is different from being a rapist.

here's hoping it all comes together for EJ this year.

I don't have much to go on, but I don't have a good feeling about him personally after watching some interviews. You just get vibes about people. I think there is a VERY good reason a talent like his fell to the 5th round. I don't expect anybody here to believe me, but I had the same vibes about Aaron Hernandez during a prime-time game a few years ago when they showed him socializing with another Pats player during a blowout win. Maybe not a murderer vibe, but definitely a criminal vibe.
To balance it out, I got a good vibe from Darby and Lewis.
you're right, there is a very good reason that he fell to the fifth round but it's not what you're intimiating at- he's still an athlete as a football player rather than a running back or a safety (the two positions he played in college).
he can run fast, he's powerful, but he doesn't have good vision and doesn't always hit the right hole. a very raw, raw player that has only played 2 years of running back.

Yikes
@finebaum: "I think it's a consensus among FSU fans and boosters that he was an embarrassment to the University" - Bobby Bowden on Jameis Winston
that wasn't the full quote of what bowden said, fwiw.
-
Isn't he kinda of a cheap shot artist?
very much so. since his days in college.

the PFF rating is just one metric that should be considered into account with other forms of data when ranking a team's strengths/weaknesses (in this case, OL)

If you have daughters, I want you to think about what kinds of idiots are out there in the world to protect them from. This includes people who rush to give the benefit of the doubt to somebody with mounting evidence against them, and people who want to slander anyone who claims to be a victim of someone in a powerful position.
But given your uncanny ability to read between the lines and find something that isn't there, I am not surprised that this went over your head.
The troll stuff is rich, though. A-plus.
It wasn't an argument, it was a statement to consider for someone who is making a lot of baseless claims about the accuser. WEO laid out the real argument, which I haven't seen you refute with any authority.
what baseless claims did he make about the accuser? I don't think that you've read as much about the case as you think you have. If your entire base of knowledge on
the Jameis Winston/Erica Kinsman incident is solely from that new york times article you're leading a flawed arguement.

i saw this comment on one website but it goes something like this...
"So they use cameras to measure the severity of cheating. they give freaking spygate 2 cameras out of 5(!!!!) while giving atlanta piping in noise 5 out of 5 cameras"

not sure how accurate this is but i saw it floating around

this is patently false
Water is wet.
@Deadspin: New York Times: FSU and Tallahassee police have protected Seminole football players for years http://t.co/GSbIR6msawthis is patently false.

Depending on how the rehab went, maybe he's not quite the same player he was before the injuries, but can still be a decent player. I'm sure another factor is that Clemson hasn't exactly been known for its defense in the Dabo era.
while that's true, clemson had the best defense in college football last year and Steward contributed quite a bit to it
-
IMO I dont think he approaches Winfield in his tackling at all.....Winfield will plant you in the turf where it looks like Darby is a willing tackler who will "ankle bite" you into the ground....this is not necessarily a bad thing as aggressive corner tacklers also get injured more...
McKelvin had this same problem and our corners coach helped him work through it.......what I do see from Darby is that great closing speed and the ability to stay in the hip pocket of a receiver.
He is gonna get tested in the NFL because QBs dont want to throw at Gilmore too much.......
this. winfield was a powerful tackler for being small. darby is an effective dragdown tackler.

I've watched every snap Ronald Darby took in college and here are my thoughts:
He's blazingly fast, with elite track speed that translates well to the football field.
While tackling isn't his strong suit, he's a very willing tackler. He doesn't blow people up (like his DB mate PJ Williams does) but he almost always gets the ball carrier on the ground and very rarely misses tackles.
His hands absolutely need work. He only had two career interceptions @ FSU and had several more passes clank directly off his hands. His coverage is very good and thus he was rarely targeted.
Darby played fulltime from the second he stepped on campus, getting ACC Defensive Rookie of the Year and was a Freshman All-American.
He was almost impossible to complete a pass on his sophomore year. His JR year there was either a lack of a. production of the d-line or b. effort on his part due to not wanting to risk draft status that didnt live up to his Sophomore year
production.
There was talk of Darby being a back half first round pick, so this is a very good value. I like the pick (I may be a bit biased)

screw that. i'll never root for new england to win.Changing the direction of things here, but....
I know no one wants to see the Pats win, but shouldn't we have been routing for them? I know the playoffs are still a long shot but I think many people believe that the Week #17 game against the pats is the key to the playoffs. And to have a decent shot at it we need NE to have home field locked up... soooooooooo should we have been rooting for the Pats?
-
The one thing I didn't like was the Bills calling time out before the final play. That gave the Fins time to take a breath and think about the play they wanted. I would have preferred to make them rush their last play. Can't argue with the result though.
maybe pettine was thinking 'uhh... how the hell did hartline get wide open that last play. let me call timeout and make sure that doesnt happen again'

that video was pretty awesome.
thoughts:
1. it's funny how high-pitched mario's voice is for being such a huge, intimidating guy
2. mario cries a lot to the refs
3. mario is awesome

i've been very impressed with what i've seen from Hughes this year. Highway robbery on the colts, imo.
-
one thing though, i wish mario would go for forcing a fumble a little bit more often. i've seen a few times where it looks like he could have easily knocked the ball out rather than trying to crush the QB

okay, so I had the chance to watch EJ his whole time @ FSU and Jameis all of his career so far @ FSU
Manuel was a good college QB, and he was 4-0 in bowl games, but I never really felt comfortable with him @ the qb save for two games-
the bowl game against Notre Dame and the Clemson game last year. I always feel safe in thinking that Jameis is going to make the right read and find the open man. For instance, everyone was always hard on Nick O'leary (a 5 star TE prospect from a few years back) because he only had 37 receptions and 3 touchdowns his first two years. This year? O'leary has 16/293/5.
Jameis is the natural. He's got it all.
edit: in summary, saying winston is better than EJ isn't a slight to EJ- Winston is really, really really !@#$ing good

EJ still looks like he tries to 'aim' passes rather than throwing passes sometimes. He did this at FSU also.
side note: Corbin Lacina wasn't a terrible player
