You know this how? Assumption. There are 32 teams and 5 starters per team. Players will go places to start.
Did watch a lot of Wilkinson the past few years? How do you know this? We know Daley sucked at LT last year, but that's common for most OL to suck at LT but be okay at other line positions.
Because no one wanted to pay them anything more than the league minimum.
That doesn't mean that Wilkinson hasn't been a solid player in the past
He started seven games for the Falcons in 2022, so I'm a little curious why you would mention 2021...
He started nine games for the falcons in 2022, so I’m wondering how much YOU watched him while pointing the finger at others.
I'm not the one who is claiming he sucks.
Im not the one claiming he was good. The evidence that he sucks is that he sat in free agency for three weeks despite playing in nine games for the Falcons. The falcons, who played him for nine games, decided that an empty roster spot was more valuable.
It’s called inference, krang. We all use the skill on a daily basis. If no one else wanted to sign these guys to a multi-year deal or for more than the peanut contracts we gave them it’s because they weren’t deemed valuable enough to do so. No offense to your scouting abilities, krang, i actually believe you have an above average ability to discern football play than most fans, but I’ll take the overwhelming league’s perspective on these players over your perspective on Wilkinson and/or hope for improvement with a position change on Daley. I hope the league is wrong, but it rarely is consistently.
You did ask me about watching the past few years. That would include 2021.
Or better yet...relying on idea that aren't proven to be true and acting like those ideas are fact.
Wow thank you for teaching me something I didn't know!
I remember when Kurt Warner limped on in and no one wanted him. Not comparing the situation at all, but what you are saying isn't conclusive at all.
All he has to do is play average dude. Conner showed up two years ago on a nothing contract and was a Pro Bowler that year.
Flimsy.
I didn't watch the tape, but I have dug up SOME evidence of his play.
He is the Falcons equivalent of Rashad Coward.
I believe that one game was one of the worst rated games by PFFfor a player ever. I remember that game.
You literally used Warner as an example and then say you’re not comparing them. It’s not an example. Neither of these guys ever played at the level Warner previously exhibited. Nor had either played at the level Conner previously exhibited. You claim they are average - that’s actually a fairly high bar in the nfl. That would warrant an average contract. No one was willing to give them anywhere close to that. I’ll let this die, you can have the last word if you wish, but at present you’re only hoping they become average or better, because the ain’t been that to date in the league.
Exactly. He's not a total trash player, but he's not going to be a great starter either.
Jesus. What would you describe as the midpoint between a total trash player and a great starter?
He's trying to argue that scrubs/league min players are average. It's absurd.
I’m not. I’m reading that his comfortable with Wilkinson as a starting guard for the 2023 Arizona Cardinals. Is that true or not?
