Here's something I didn't expect: remember Colin Brown?
Hilariously terrible 5th round selection by Scott ***** in the famed horrific 2009 draft class?
Something like the 57th rated tackle that year? He just got a two-year extension with the Buffalo Bills, who play him at guard but really like him at center: Quote:

Direckshun--
Rate the Arizona Cardinals 2009 Draft.

But Jackson was taken 3rd overall instead of a QB, so he gets the hate. Asamoah was taken in the 3rd round, so he gets tolerance. Again, I'd understand if your frustration was that Jackson never turned into an All Pro. But his failure to become an All Pro automatically earns him the distinction of garbage. Shrug. |

yea because he was picked 3rd overall. You are picked in the first round you better ****ing start doing some sort of impact play sooner than later or you can consider your career a bust.
I'm looking at you too, Jon Turdwin |

But you can't allude to Kendrick Lewis and say that because he starts for us, that he's a starting-caliber NFL safety. I believe that he was one of the worst--if not the worst--rated safety in the league by PFF or someone last year. Lewis wouldn't have seen playing time for 95% of teams in the league--let alone be starting. He can't tackle and he's certainly not a ball-hawk. Those are pretty much the two main criteria when discussing safety play.

That's one of the reasons why the 2009 draft was so terrible. Drafting slap dicks like Tyson Jackson #3 overall when he played like a third rounder is precisely why it was a terrible draft. **** it, you're obviously trolling, because you aren't this goddamned stupid.

The Eric Berry Pro Bowl argument is almost as absurd as the Roy Williams Pro Bowl argument at this point.
Berry has been a significant disappointment to this stage in his career and people give him the benefit of the doubt because of his knee injury and personality.

Ummmmmmmmmm....
1.31: RB Chris Wells, Ohio State 2.63: OLB Cody Brown, UConn 3.95: S Rashad Johnson, Alabama 4.131: CB Gregory Toler, St. Pauls College 5.167: OG Herman Johnson, LSU 6.204: OLB Will Davis, Illinois 7.240: RB LaRod Stephens-Howling, Pittsburgh 7b.254: OG Trevor Canfield, Cincinnati I don't know much about many of these players, to be honest. I could look them up individually but I lack the motivation. I am interested in your point, however. You named both of them, and decided they were both much better for reasons that pass understanding. |

Asamoah is a good player. He's good at things. Tyson Jackson is a worthless space eater who doesn't make plays. Quote:

2) Blocking, pass catching, and not committing penalties don't pass understanding.

Again, I'm not arguing that Jackson is/was good value. I'm arguing that he is a good starter. Two different arguments. Meanwhile, you are arguing that because he wasn't good value, he is a bad player. |

Tyson Jackson is not. That's what Direckshun apparently doesn't understand.

3 of his 4 seasons in the league have been spent being utterly worthless.
He's just a warm body.
