1B4IDie Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Aaron Maybin 2.0, will get swallowed up at the next level. he needs to add at least 15-20 lbs I wish the mods could play the word Maybin and Hardy. It's 2014 there will never be another Maybin. There will never be another Hardy. There will be more busts but we don't always have to go there.

There will be more busts but we don't always have to go there. There will be many more Maybin's and Hardy's. Many athletes that teams fall in love with because of their height or speed or colossal numbers against poor competition. Player's in the draft are always compared to previous players by many people including analysts and scouts. That doesn't mean the comparison has to be a glowing one.

DefenseWinzChampionshipz Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Aaron Maybin 2.0, will get swallowed up at the next level. he needs to add at least 15-20 lbs I thought the same as I saw how he struggled against the run. If he does bulk up as you suggested I would think he'd make a great OLB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It happens all too often and is 99.99999% of the time a horrible comparison. It is sensationalism that has been overdone. Its just plain Stewpid and this point in time. Anthony Barr is not Maybin 2.0 Mike Evans is not Hardy 2.0 Stop IT! Edited January 30, 2014 by Why So Serious? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The name comparison is the easy way for people to say that they think the player will be a bust. There are several examples every year of busted picks in the first round. These players happen to fit the size/speed comparisons of maybe and hardy and are referred to as hose type of players.

filthymcnasty08 Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 (edited) Just to keep things in perspective: This is the same board that said Von Miller was Maybin 2.0 leading into the 2011 draft.

section122 Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 This is also the board that said Von Miller was Maybin 2.0 Some did and some didn't. Sweeping generalizations about the board can't really be made. Look at Johnny Football. Some will be right about him whether he busts or becomes a superstar. There were many arguing here that Miller would turn out great. Just like in this very thread there is someone saying that Barr is better than others of us suspect.

My favorite were the ones that would have renounced their fanship if we would have drafted Cam Newton in that draft!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh man did I want him to somehow fall to us! Freaking Andrew Luck staying in school! That said I was in the Dareus over Miller camp as I thought he was more of what we needed. I did actually opine about how great I though JJ Watt was and that he would have been a great target in a trade down. Looking at that draft in hidsight it has to rival some of the best in NFL history. Of the top 18 picks I think it could be said that 14 of them are good to great players in this league. The only exceptions being Locker, Gabbert, Ponder, and Tyron Smith. The top 7 picks from that draft just 3 years ago have all already made the Pro Bowl!

NewEra Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 I'd rather have Mosley, who will likely be available when we pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I forgot why I have underlying disgust for Luck. Thats right it was supposed to be 1.01 Andrew Luck Carolina Panthers 1.02 Von Miller Denver Broncos 1.03 Cam Newton Buffalo Bills Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is why he's neck and neck with Mack on our OLB43 board. That's called "running the circle", and Nobody Wagons the Circle like Anthony Barr--even Mack.

Give me a bull rush, spin move, up and under, anything but a circle around and hope the qb has held the ball for way too long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
