Good heavens. Apparently sarcasm is a lost art and indefensible around here. I'm honestly over this conversation and I'm sorry I said anything at all.  I have said pretty much to everyone that I was only half serious, but tried to explain how the sarcasm fit in. 

 

If you are going to be stone cold in your face serious about this, then I just could not care less about talking with you about it. You're taking this WAAAAY too seriously. Have a coke and a smile dude. 

 

If it was just sarcasm, half joking that would have been one thing.  But, you claimed it was sarcasm/half joking and then spent an entire paragraph justifying your comment.

 

Like the old saying goes, actions speak louder than (typewritten) words.

As if the very nature of sarcasm could not possibly be both half truthful and half exaggeration/joke.  The only reason I was justifying anything at all is because apparently sarcasm is offensive to you or goes unnoticed.  I explained it to others and they left it alone for what it was - a meaningless throwaway comment.  So, if you prefer, next time my sarcasm goes over your head, I can juts tell you to * off if you want?

 

Like I said, I'm over it.  It's not really worth wasting any more time over.

You can tell me to * off all you want and your sarcasm did not go over my head.  The only reason I responded was because you claimed it was sarcasm/half joking and then spend a couple more post explaining how your (half joke) is true.

 

But it pretty much boils down to you make a stupid comment and when people called you on it you get all defensive and claim it was sarcasm.

 

Keep crying, tell me to * off if you want, pretend your wit is at a high level, it really doesn't matter to me.

It's a great stat if true. 

 

I'm a little sceptical about these sack credits sometimes. Only because there was a similar stat about Kelly doing the rounds a while ago but when there was an analysis of the line at the end of the year there were clearly sacks that were his man. I can believe it about Nelson though, he's a beast.

 

How many sacks did our line as a whole give up this season? 

Our O-lone gave up 32 sacks in 2019.

 

They only gave up 18 in 2018.

 

And I personally don’t think the difference was just having Brissett instead of Luck.  Of course,  your mileage may vary....

So the point was because he got beat on a play and the QB got injured he should not get credit for allowing 0 sacks in the last 30 games?

 

 Would Nelson trade giving up a sack for not ruining the 2nd half of his teams season? 
 Don't know, but watching someone have a meltdown over this is ugly.

You have literally paid attention to nothing I've said.  At all...

0 "sacks" allowed or getting bulldozed into your quartback's ankle and knee and forcing him to miss 1 week and play with a bum knee in a knee brace for the rest of the year....

Fresh Prince says, "What's the difference?"

Take the a shot to the face like Nelson did on that play 99.99999 percent of the population would be on there rear.

...that play might as well be tallied as a sack, and a costly one at that.  Watch the play again.  He gets thrown into Brisset.  Just manhandled on that play.  

This is a ridiculous take. We've already discussed that play here, and it's clear that Heyward got away with a hands to the face penalty.

      *Update: AD Mitchell signed

      By stitches · Posted

      This is not the writer. This is a scout he's quoting. This (especially if it's the same scout he's quoting about the diabetes/uncoachable/immature thing) seems like a scout either with an agenda or some axe to grind.     BTW seems like the part about the diabetes is/was in this exact article, but I currently cannot find it in the article. Do we know if it got deleted or if it's behind a paywall we cannot see?

      Here is AD's combine workout video.   True, he fell down on the Gauntlet drill but got right back up and seemed to be a good sport about it.  He ran the gauntlet again and completed it so not sure what the big deal is ?  Maybe writers are making it a bigger deal than it needs to be ?  But judge for yourself.  I saw no bad attitude there.   Also very cool comparison in the video of AD running the 40 superimposed against AJ Brown and Julio Jones.  He smokes both of them.  That should get Colts fans really excited.

      I think I like AD. But that's not what is motivating my posts. I'm enjoying the dialogue as I distract myself from a spreadsheet but I do have a point to make.   That is, you noted: what if McGinn's article is correct? Well, what if its not? He, personally, will have cost AD Mitchell MILLIONS of dollars. Not the scouts; McGinn. McGinn is the one with the platform. If the scouts had a platform, they wouldn't be anonymous sources. The difference between bottom of the 1st round and where AD was selected is $5 to $10 million over 4 years.   As another poster noted, does McGinn have any responsibility in regards to articles he releases that are not factual, whether they were written in good faith or not?

      There's more about his diabetes and about him being uncoachable and hard to work with. Can't find direct link. The rest might be behind a paywall, but it's quoted in the linked article by Destin Adams. You can read it there.

      The McGinn column that I can find describes what happened at the combine in front of all of the scouts (below). Is there another column from him about Mitchell? There must be based on the conversation in this thread.    DRAFT Part 1, WR/TE: Hall of Fame talent at the top, then (many) questions Marvin Harrison Jr. leads the way. You'll see receivers fly off the board the first two rounds. But scouts have concerns. Bob McGinn's 40th annual series begins.   Part 1, WR/TE: Hall of Fame talent at the top, then (many) questions - golongtd.com   By Bob McGinn   (About halfway through the column is a discussion of Mitchell's combine performance)   Coming off a 55-reception, 11-touchdown season at Texas, Mitchell did everything at the combine other than the short shuttle, the 3-cone and the bench press. And, after his blazing 40 of 4.35 and exceptional distances in the jumps, his decision to work at the combine appeared to be paying off.   Then Mitchell, wearing the WO19 jersey, started running the various routes in line with other wide receivers. His performance was insufficient, to say the least.   “He blew that 40 out, which didn’t surprise me,” one veteran scout said. “But then his position workout might have been the worst I’ve seen by a top receiver. He was falling over. He dropped balls. He had to keep redoing. It seemed as if he didn’t know how to run routes. He just seemed out of it.   “Generally, I don’t get alarmed by a combine. That was alarming.”   Based on television coverage, Mitchell staggered and fell during the gauntlet, dropped the first two slants, dropped an out and either messed up the route or failed to make the catch on his next three attempts. His performance was adequate after that.   “He was very linear, very straight line,” another scout said watching Mitchell at the combine. “Which surprised me, because in my limited exposure, for a fast guy, I thought he could actually bend and get in and out of his cuts.   “After running fast, the position stuff didn’t match. It wasn’t terrible. It wasn’t fatal. But it definitely raised some alerts with me. He didn’t have a great combine.”   Mitchell stood on his combine numbers and did position drills March 21 at Texas pro day, leaving the bench press and shuttles void.
