People were scared of his speed from the sounds of it. Lance Z loves his game, but thinks he just can't run well enough to become effective.

I get waht he's saying, but the fact that he went undrafted really surprised me.

I will say that Demetrius Williams was a wasted talent. He got saddled with the wrong QB. If he had Flacco throwing to him, I think Demetrius could have been something.

You left out Travis Kelce and Quick Pitta.

HOWEVER. Sorry to rain on your parade, but Steve Young sucked his first few years as an NFL quarterback. Took him a while to really settle down as an effective player.

Then what about Randall Cunningham?

Man, these days, Steve Young would have been cut or traded, and then cast off as a stopgap QB. Those days of QBs taking 3 years to develop are over. If they don't hit by year two, teams are moving on. You think today's Ravens would give Kyle Boller 6 years to prove that he didn't suck?

The Bucs drafted Vinny Testaverde first overall and traded Young for scraps because they decided Young was a bust just two years after spending a first round pick on him. So. Not the best example.

Wow. Honestly didn't know that. Thanks for the info. Based on that, not a good example.

Hollywood is just tiny. Lis franc injuries can be relatively mild to severe. I haven't heard any details. I just trust boykins frame more over time

Edgar Allen breaks down Boykin

Something here for everyone, optimists and pessimists. Edgar finds good stuff and bad stuff.

**edromeo** · 07-27-2019, 03:01 PM

^^I watched it earlier.
I like Edgar’s stuff but gotta day I disagree with a lot of his assessments here.
