Crap Throwing Clavin Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 1 minute ago, Alaska Darin said: If he had run 5/100ths faster, no one in their right mind would question the choice. It's funny how many of the real metrics people ignore because of 40 times, despite the fact that NFL history is littered with fast guys who did literally nothing in their time on the field. He had the top speed in the gauntlet - a much better test of "football speed" - by a healthy margin. But "his 40 time!!!" And it's only one 40 time, the one he ran at the combine. It's one data point. I assume he's ran a 40 at some other point in his life? We're interviewing for developers right now. I'm going to start asking them "What's your 40 time in the combine?" because apparently that's all that matters. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I once worked with a developer who took three months to get his visual studio up and running. Not sure what his 40 time was though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, correct but there are a few not in there right minds that hate the pick. Not me of course. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanker Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 6 hours ago, Cinga said: I'll be the first to admit I knew nothing about him before the draft other than he was on some draft boards, I just never paid attention because of all the name players at the top of the draft of which I expected to get one. But I have never had a kid grow on me as fast as he has, everything I watch and read makes me really like this pick more and more! Not at all unlike the pick of Josh Allen. That was SOOOOOOOOOOO controversial because "we" picked "the Wrong Josh!" Keon Coleman is the Josh Allen of This Bills Draft. They both almost immediately became a beloved Bills. There. I said it. 2 1 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you're a much more important member than I realized? Then in that case, what the heck are you waiting for? Where's our Super Bowl? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a much better measure of "football speed" than a single 40-time. 5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
