Thread Series: The case for/against Tyrann Mathieu

So this person thinks that because Mathieu couldn't bench press at the combine means he can't cover bigger NFL wr's. To me that's laughable and that tells me his football IQ is low.

Excellent ad hominem attack.. I'm glad the one sentence bench press reference is the only thing you took away from my article

So now HTTR24-7 is on the warpath. Interesting.


Well welcome.

touchy on an opinion web-article arent we?

His size concerns me as well. The guy is a flea at 5'9 186. He would be a joke at safety. Concerns about his lack of strength are legit too when you're talking about having to jam WRs.

I'd like to see the Skins get bigger guys in the secondary. If we draft Mathieu, it wouldn't be the end of the world, though I'd prefer to use a 4th or lower on him.

I don't know whom you are speaking to directly but if you say someone has a low NFL/football IQ I would take that as a personal attack.

But to be fair D. Green was 5-9 184 lbs and he did pretty good for himself.

I agree but how much bigger are the WR's in todays game?

I am curious though if there were many 6'-2"+/220+ lbs receivers in D. Green's day.

or probably just an opinion, much like the article. Sorry if I expect a little more to back up that opinion than a stomp my feet and say hey i can see what you write.

When it comes to football opinions, it shouldnt be taken personal.

Yeah no need for that. I thought the article raised some valid points.
