I already bought my ticket to Canton for 2027 when he's inducted.
Hey at least these are positive comparisons... better than comparing AJ to Woods lol
lol, yeah I'll take optimism!
QP is definitely exciting tho, I can't stop smiling thinking about his potential.

Yes, clearly that one/one-hundredth of a second makes a huge difference. You can't compare the two.
Quinton Patton 40: 4.48
Victor Cruz 40: 4.47

Williams is faster and it's not really close.

Game speed is different than timed speed
Cruz on a football field is quite a bit faster than Patton. Cruz is faster than his 40 time (which is a joke anyways) when he's on the field, not saying Patton is slow but Cruz is definitely faster.

Yes! Eight one-hundredths of a second is like a lifetime on the football field!

Get over 40 times... this isnt track and field
Game speed is the only speed that matters, ask the GOAT.

Okay, you're talking about your perception and I'm talking about machine-timed 40 yard dash times. You don't KNOW that Cruz on a football field is quite a bit faster than Patton. You haven't really seen enough of Patton to know that. You just think you know that. And, if 40 times are a joke, why do guys with faster 40's usually get drafted higher. I keep hearing this and I wonder why people keep saying it. If 40's are a joke, why is everyone so damned in love with Calvin Johnson. Yes, yes, I know there are examples of great receivers with lower 40 times. I know all about Jerry Rice's 4.7 40. But again, you're making a flat out judgement that Cruz is faster on the football field than Patton and I haven't seen enough of Patton to have any faith in that SUBJECTIVE judgement. So, enough with the cute, holier-than-thou emoticons, okay?

He reminds of the white version of Wes Welker

I think other then his enthusiasm his shiftiness at the line is probably one of his biggest weapons. If he keeps playing like this or better he can be a dancing fool i could care less. Even the GOAT said the game was about fun not records.

From what I saw last night, he certainly has the quickness of a Welker, but when you look at his college highlight real, it looks to me that he has more flat-out speed than some people around here are giving him credit for. Last night on that crossing route in the back of the end zone, he was running away from the corner and they both started out together.

Cruz is faster, dont let your homerism impair your eyesight. Watch Pattons clip on youtube then compare it to Cruz, not that hard of a judgement call. And you want to grasp onto quantifiable data when it doesnt matter, so yeah call it subjective... but its also the subjective opinion of anyone with eyes. Having played football extensively and watched countless hours of film, its easy to compare guys game speed once you have an eye for it.

Again, the argument you and others are making is basically based on one fantastic player's 40 time. If your argument were a sound argument, then professional football people would not be paying any attention to 40 times. But of course, we know that they spend a lot of time looking at and analyzing 40 times. What you're basically saying is that you know a better way to pre-judge a given athlete's potential than the 40 time and I think that deserves one of your emoticons. The 40 time is a basic judgment tool. The idea is that a player with a better 40 time is more likely to be able to create separation from a defender - it obviously doesn't guarantee that - but it's an objective measuring tool, not a subjective judgement. The arrogance of people who would say "this isn't track and field" astounds me. Really!!! This isn't track and field???!!! Gee, thanks!
