Oh Monti, oh Monti, you know I've always loved you, don't you? Don't let these other posters poison you against me. I've always had your back because I knew you'd pick this guy. The perfect guy to take this defense to the next level. Thank you for finally drafting a Big John!

Like I said, Monti, I've always loved ya :)
Come on man the dude hasn't stepped on the field yet. Is the anti-hopium dude is full of hopium? But I'm happy you got your dude. And for the record I think he could be a real good player but a "big John"? We'll see

You're taking your shoes off on the plane, sir? Flag on the field.

Yes because on a long flight, like 13 hours to the Philippines if you don't your feet will swell up. Believe on flights that long everyone smells not just my feet

Ha, I thought someone would have hit me with this before now :) Just over the moon that he took my guy. Then again, after always bagging on Keim, I was worshiping him when he...traded up for the Rosen One, so what do I know?

We shall see indeed, my friend!

You apparently don't understand that:

Harrison had better stats than Fitz and his father - two top 10 receivers of all time his rookie season - so it is insane to write him off as mediocre.

There is almost always improvement from a players rookie season - if they just look half way competent that is a very good sign

50% of draft picks are busts league wide - as in out of the league before their first contract is even over.

Every guy I listed is not going to be a bust - and that is over 50% of Monti's picks.
While I’m not worried about Harrison you also have understand this isn’t the early 2000s either. Receivers pretty routinely splash in their rookie seasons now. Harrison’s rookie year was absolutely pedestrian.

ure on these guys to get out the tape measure.


Of course it's an extremely different era today than it was in 1996 when Marvin Harrison, Sr. came out and 2004 when Fitzgerald was a rookie. Harrison was out-produced by two other rookies with arguably worse quarterback situations in Malik Nabers and Brian Thomas. He was also outproduced by Ladd McConkey, who wasn't exactly surrounded by people begging for targets.

We should expect a better second year, but it's not assured. Michael Wilson had fewer yards his second season.
I just have an opinion, but I feel we will see that bump in production with Marvin this season. Some WRs need a season for the game to slow down for them. I wouldn't bet against this guy.

If you're from Bermuda, you get to wear shorts as part of a suit! I wish I was Bermudan :(
Same thing in AZ. Back in the day, every old man in AZ was wearing a shirt with the sleeves cut off, shorts, flip flops, dirty ball cap, long hair and scraggly beard or grizzly 5 o'clock shadow. Seemed like the AZ uniform.
