Peter King opens up new MMQB website, day one Trotter takes a shit on Te'o

But Hester did have narrow shoulders. Just sayin.

And Jerry Rice was slow, Randy Moss just catches TD's, Darren Sproles is too small and Drew Brees is too short...

I thought Chris Carter just caught TDs. Randy Moss ran over too many cops. Humphries was fat. And Coryell and Bobby Ross had lisps.

His mom was very appreciative when little Jacob was born.

So Trotter is saying that Teo was great in college and he played great without using his hands. How much greater can he get if he DOES use his hands, given that Trotter reports that is the most important part of playing LB in the NFL? We should be pretty excited about Teo.

And this article also implies that Telesco and his scouts are morons, so blinded by a big name that they were bamboozled into drafting someone who is fatally flawed.

And I have not read many (any?) articles that say Teo is Seau. Almost every time any mention of Jr is made, it is followed by 'Teo is not Seau and comparisons are not fair'. Who are these analysts Trotter is referring to? I'm glad he was able to get Peyton's take on it. That was so helpful.

Hester is just a notch below each of those guys.

You got some big ass notches BKR!

You are correct. But thats kinda my point. You don't have to have all the physical tools to reach greatness. I'm not predicting greatness for Te'o, that wouldn't be fair to him at this point, but you can't leave it off the table either. My biggest concern with the kid is his mental makeup. I hope Mufffews doesn't invite him over for marathon WOW session and he accepts.

for a gullible idiot "victim" of cathfishing he definitely needs to stay away from wow.

What comparisons? I haven't heard one person in the media compare the two except to state the obvious --- that they are both Pacific Islander LB's who played for the Chargers.

So that article is basically foolish, premature and lazy.

1). Agree that the "comparisons" have been few and far between, and even then have been about their ethnicities more than anything. Kind of a stretch by Trotter making it seem like everybody is annointing him the next Seau in terms of on-field impact. Unfortunately playing in SD especially after Junior's tragic end, the media will reach for that.

2). Why do people harp on rookies for certain flaws in their game? And why is it that the assumption is that they can't learn new skills or refine old ones? Like BKR said, that's essentially what separates those that coast on natural ability (for awhile) from those that achieve true greatness.

I'm the dumbest guy here footballwise, and even I saw the subjective reasoning in that piece.

Give... me... a... frakking... break.

It's Training Camp. Predictions are 99% wrong at this point. Go earn your 5 cents a word slobbering
all over Brady's or Peyton's sack.

Jeez....
