Dear MadDog, I hold your Football-knowledge in high esteem. And I am always looking forward to read your - most of the time - insightful opinion. But this time, you're off the mark...
The irony is not approbiate here. Nobody said that CK is the greatest of all time. All they were saying is, that you should not judge the player too early. Give him time...
And one statement is so true, even you cannot deny ist: "J.H. knows more about Quarterbacks than S. B."... i might add WAY MORE!!!!
My critique is this: CK was not one of the most popular choices of Niners' fans before the draft. In fact, very few people held him in high regard. However, the moment the team drafts him, a poll was posted: Who will be he best QB from this class? The runaway winner was....take a wild guess....CK. It is blind homerism.
Now, onto CK. He is a good talent, who has upside. But, he is a project who is at least two years away. First, he needs to tighten that motion. We all know he has a strong arm. But, the window in the NFL is fine, and until he tightens that motion, he is going to struggle. Second, he is coming from a pistol offense. Third, he is a raw prospect, period.
The expectations on the kid are way too high for a guy who was the 5th QB drafted this year. He may turn out to be a good NFL QB, but that is a long ways off. However, at the first incompletion SMith throws in practice, the chants for CK will begin, and that is going to be a joke.
My sarcasm is intended to temper enthusiasm. Maybe not the best approach, but it is fun.
Awwwwwwwwwwww!
Look guys, Maddog is at it again!
He's backed himself into a corner because he always speaks in absolutes and will never admit to being wrong(LOL kinda reminds me of Sing) and now he's on a rampage trying to make everyone else look like they're the ones with the problem.
Maddog's say the darnedest things!
