Allen Robinson is twice the receiver Tyler Boyd could ever hope to be.

Allen Robinson: 46 catches, 615 yards, 4TDs, 58% catch rate on 79 targets

Tyler Boyd: 72 catches, 990 yards, 6TDs, 70% catch rate on 103 targets

Who's Allan Robertson?

[tifosi77]

According to WikiPedia, he is recognized as one of the world's first professional golfers. So I can see why his catch rate is a bit on the low side, as I don't think the forward pass was legal during his time.

I got a notification that you had quoted me. When I saw this post, I thought to myself--there's no way I would have actually posted this? Then I realized it was during a troll exchange in September of 2016. Makes sense now.

Lol.. a UPS grad underperforming in the pros though? Why'd I'd never

Saquon Barkley, playing for an absolutely terrible Giants team, is third in rushing yards in his rookie season. On top of that, his YPC is a very impressive 5.4. This despite the fact that the Giants O-Line is generally ranked in the bottom third of NFL teams for run blocking.

Oh yeah, and he is only 11 yards behind Ezekiel Elliott for all-purpose yards. Dude is a Top 2 or 3 RB in the league easily, imagine what he would do behind LA's line. So despite slappy and others desperately trying to assign him as a bust, the dude is a stud.

On another note...teeheehee

Honestly, I hate that Baltimore and Flacco won that SB, but it was a blessing in disguise because it hamstrung that organization for the next decade-plus.

Lamar Jackson will start as quarterback for the Ravens this Sunday when they face the Buccaneers, despite Joe Flacco being cleared to play.

Coach John Harbaugh made the announcement Wednesday, saying Flacco will suit up Sunday, but that Jackson will start.

“Every decision is based on making us the strongest possible team we can be,” Harbaugh said Wednesday. “Whether it’s quarterback or defensive line, that’s the bottom line. That’s what it boils down to. That’s how we feel about this decision, and we’re rolling.”

Flacco, 33, said he was “disappointed” that he’s now the backup quarterback, but he’ll do what he can to help the team win.

“I’m obviously disappointed I can’t be part of this team in the same capacity that I have been for a long time,” Flacco said. “I can’t say I was surprised.”

That's...... something else. Wow.

Fake news. When I have stated that I believe Saquon Barkley to be a bust? I defy you to find a single instance. Have I conveyed news reports concerning Barkley and the perception around the league that he is a problem child and likely on the gas? Sure. But I don't personally know that.

As usual, the UPS cultists are out in force persecuting anyone that even *relays* that many people are saying negative things about a UPS-related individual. Can't say I am surprised.

I think you posted an article, most agreed that Barkely was not a bust, then Nittany Ned came in and talked about how much better Barkey is than Conner.

[slappybrown]

I’m curious as to slappy’s take as he was big on Barkley.

Barkley is a guaranteed top 10 NFL RB immediately upon drafting. Certain players just have the mans against boys look to them in college and he's one of them. Taking an RB top 5 in draft is not generally the way to go but if you're sitting there at 4 or 5 and he's there and you don't have that position locked up take him and give Barkley the ball 300 times a year -- run and receiving -- and be happy about it. My man can run you over, return Ks, and run and catch seam routes for touches against your safety. Unique skill set

That said he is also bad bc he went to ups imo

Even the Centre County Daily Moo-Cow Herald has higher ethical standards than some around here. smdh

[MrKennethTKangaroo]

good discussions here

No, it's not, it's CFB garbage gumming up another thread. Go to one of the other three CFB threads and have your slapfest.

Saquon Barkley

Saquon Barkley appears to be very good despite the concerns about his character. I think we are all in agreement here

Seems like you were the first one to bring up Barkley.

Which is what dodint said...

[slappybrown]

regardless, given the forum is dying who gives a sht about thread policing other than dodint, which means none of us should care

In the interest of returning to the National Football League, who is pumped for an actual real live game of interest tonite? 10 win LAC @ 11 win KC, KC ending up with a wild card would be hilarious

[dodint]

Rude.
