You Gotta Have The Right Name!

[lennymoore24]

I know this is easy to shoot holes in, but my brothers and I always say players at certain positions have to have the right name.  That is a good indicator of if they will succeed.  So, based on that, you gotta LOVE the Colts picks.

 

1) Jack Mewhort - Wow, does that scream big, strong, nasty offensive lineman or what?   A+

2) Donte Moncrief - Great WR name!  A+

3) Jonathan Newsome - Ok, he might turn out to be good, but too generic of a name for a LB   C

4) Andrew Jackson - Throw "Stonewall" in the mix and you got LB name who hits!   B+

5) Ulrich John - Sounds like a European guitar virtuoso.  Maybe play like Buckethead or Malmsteen. Not block  D-

 

So overall, based on names, I am really happy with the draft.  I think we did well.

Names determined your liking of the draft? That's a first I've ever heard that

I think I'll be yelling "Action Jackson with the play" every time Jackson makes a play

Yeah, doesn't hold much water, but a funny argument to make.  I remember when the Colts drafted Jeff George, my brother said "You can't have a QB with two first names.  He will fail for sure!"

Well shoot, what was his opinion about Reggie Wayne then?

He has 2 first names

[#BringBobBack]

yeah a buddy of mine rates players and prospects off how scary they look....some things are just kinda weird. I do chuckle at a players name once in a while but it's what they do on the field that makes em good or not funny argument though

Reggie is a good WR name.  Wayne as a last name, not so good.  I gave that a C at the time.  See, holes in the scientific formula of going by names.

Guess you all never heard of Bruce WAYNE?! seemed Wayne is a good last name to have....makes you an automatic hero

Ulrich John, D-??? This is an outrage. That's clearly the best name!

[lennymoore24]

No, Bruce Wayne is a good name for a super hero.  But Reggie Wayne not a great WR name.  I can post the algorithm if you would like. ;)

No doubt, great name....for a guitar player.  Not an offensive lineman ;) lol

[COLTS449]

I don't even care what you post. You're using an avatar of Junior and his little red bowtie, and that's enough for you to grab my attention for a bit!  I love that movie!

lol.  I tried looking him up right after they drafted him.  I kept getting Lars Ulrich from Metallica

[12isthenew18]

I agree on name thing ive said that foryears

[Warhawk]

Reggie is a good WR name.  Wayne as a last name, not so good.  I gave that a C at the time.  See, holes in the scientific formula of going by names.

 

Yeah, but that means he's Batman.  A+++.

[lennymoore24]

Yeah, but that means he's Batman.  A+++.

 

But Richard Woods of the late 70s Bucs was Batman!

[PrincetonTiger]

Very funny

But

Stonewall Jackson's name was Thomas

[T Y Goodbye]

Guess you all never heard of Bruce WAYNE?! seemed Wayne is a good last name to have....makes you an automatic hero

Andrew Jackson has a great football name for a defensive player.  After a hard tackle, Lamey will say that the Colts laid some Hickory on the ball carrier.  I give it an A+.

[Colts Fan In L.A.]

I enjoyed the name Rodrick Rumble last year lol

[Bluefire4]

Somebody help me out here on "Ulrich John" Is Ulrich his first name?

I was confused about that to yesterday. I thought John was his middle name because I never heard John as a last name before.

[Coltsfanman1953]

What About Tommy John.

[SyX]

Pat Angerer.  Does that dispel this method of rating players based on their names?

[Buck Showalter]

Andrew Jackson, Twenty, Twenty Dollar Bills Y'all
