You Know What Grinds My Gears?

I know it won’t change anything, but we’re so far away to be making these assumptions.

He’s at LEAST a very solid WR… with a chance to be spectacular.

disagree about Tebow… I just don’t see him as a great NFL player… but he seems like a good kid, so I wish him well

Bowe leading the league in dropped passes

Tebow is a FL QB which is the closest thing you can come to a guarantee he’s going to bust. He’s the most overrated prospect coming out in this class. I couldn’t stand the man crush’s on Sanchez last year, but at the least that kid played in a pro style offense and yanno…actually had an NFL caliber arm. Tebow is a cute college story but get over it already. You’re about two years late to the party, Canuck.

You quickly redeemed this post by moving onto Mock Drafts, which personally I think are more retarded than snuggies. What really grinds my gears is when we get into the heart of the off-season and practically the front page is filled with memeber’s mock’s. Please, Chris & Joel, spare us all and move all the upcoming mock’s to a linked category on the sidebar and leave the front page for Chiefs related news items. It’s really not worth missing news on the Chiefs latest signing’s and/or release’s because they’ve been bumped off the front page by some grown ass men playing Dungeons & Dragons with the NFL Draft. Last time I checked Mike Mayock wasn’t posting here.

If you know what I’m saying. lol.

That was funny though.

That’s why I keep count of them. I want to puke on my own mock vomit when I see a mock draft!! It means nothing. I didn’t see Tyson Jackson on any Mock DRAFT coming to KC did you?? NOOOOOOO!

Or at least before someone posts another mock draft…read the other 496,967 mock drafts on here. (that’s the actual current count) I’m the official mock draft counter.

he needs to have a hell of a year next year if he wants to prove he belongs, because he definatly took a step back this year. Hopefully he will learn alot from it though and get it corrected by next year. and I hope he and the other receivers spend alot of time this offseason with pass catching drills.

Kray don’t worry I will never post one only make remarks to those posted. To me mock is a good way to get to see players that I wouldn’t normally even think about, and I watch quite a bit of college football.

That really grinds my gears.

everyone will have to rec this one up to keep it on the front page, because today will probably hold another 34579 mock drafts so this post will be dust in the mock draft wind!

I don’t agree with everything you said, but it was well written and entertaining. Rec’d big time! And now you’ve gotten me interested in seeing Nine!

I’m with you big on the Mocks. One big reason is that I’m not into the college game. So I don’t know the players. I don’t get interested in the draft until the combine comes around. I agree with you about how insane it is that some draftniks (and teams – as you state) get into the combines and ignore how players did in college. But one of the big reasons for that is our own Christian Okoye. He might have been the first true combine wonder.

I think people are awfully negative on Tebow, and probably for the wrong reasons. Biggest legit knock I’ve heard about him is that he has a big wind up on his throw and he needs more of a snap release. I wouldn’t mind seeing the Chiefs draft him to start as a Kick Returner and WIld Cat back. But not until the third round, or better yet the fourth. I do understand why you like him.

But back to the Mocks. There are those who like them and those who don’t. I pretty much ignore the mocks. So how about agreeing that we’ll start flagging comments that toss mocks into non-draft threads. And (what I’ve found just as annoying) mock draft posts that have titles that seem to indicate they are something else. Then everyone can do their own thing in peace!

A lot of these comments are hilarious. BUT:

The Tebow bashing is not cool. Last time I checked this is still America. I’m pretty sure that he’s allowed to freely speak his beliefs. It just goes to show you how small minded some people are to adamantly hate a person because of their religion. It makes you no better than a Klansman or a Nazi.

I don’t think he’ll be a great pro QB, a decent one maybe, but not anything like the success he had in college. A couple of reasons, are that he doesn’t have great accuracy, he under throws receivers a lot going deep. You can get away with this in college more as Florida’s athletes at WR are usually better than the athletes playing for any given school at corner. This won’t be true in the NFL very often.

Also, his throwing motion is very long. That effects his accuracy and makes him more prone to being sacked or stripped of the ball. Now, throwing motion can be fixed it is just hard to do. Tebow’s throwing motion problems are different than say Philip Rivers who tends to “push” the ball. His throwing motion is untraditional, but it still gets the ball out quickly.

He also doesn’t read defenses as well as you want an NFL QB to do. The Kentucky game is a good example. He should’ve noticed the blitz was coming and either gotten the ball away more quickly, moved protection, or run away from the pressure.

Now, I’m not saying these things can’t be fixed, but you draft players (especially high picks) on what you know they can do, not what you hope they can do.

I think the Alabama game would be what you should look at when evaluating Tebow, as that is the closest thing to an NFL defense that Tebow has faced. And while he didn’t have a field day like he usually does, he was able to drive down the field. With a good QB coach and hard work he could become better mechanically. Realistically, I think he’ll probably be drafted in round 1 or early in round 2 although he should be drafted in the third round. I think a lot of people will be disappointed because I don’t think he’ll ever be an elite pro QB, but I don’t doubt that he becomes a decent QB that could be a starter and be used in some trick plays or wildcat formation.

However, I don’t dislike Tebow personally, I actually kind of like him. I respect his leadership qualities and his hard work. And even as a non-religious person, I don’t mind the fact that he does mission trips and writes Bible verses underneath his eyes, although I’m tired of the media over-reporting it. I think that is what most people who say they don’t like Tebow are talking about.

1) I dislike college football for the most part so i cant yay or nay, but he seems to be a decent guy regardless of his skills so whatever he decides to do I wish him much success.

2) Nail meets head on this one. I view mock drafts like playing an imaginary poker game by yourself. Its silly and borderline annoying.

3) Eh, this doesnt bother me so much, its pesudo-footballish stuff in the off-season. Passes the time.

4) Why not just include the entire cast?

5) Too much politics in this one, but I understand why its there and its sad that there needs to be rules like this in the first place.

6) D-Bowe haters are silly and not real football fans.

You know I also love me some Tebow! Not only do I believe what he does, I am a believer in his game! He is a leader and does whatever possible to motivate his guys to play their best. His delivery is not a problem to me…I think playing a tough conference like the SEC would show any flaws you may have in your game. Tebow will be successful wherever he goes. He is dead accurate and can run over some guys if need be.

Good for standing up for Tebow!!!

The mock drafts have become little more than spam..since freaking October.

Good post, man.

Nice work…

I wish Kate Hudson would grind my gear.

and as far as Tebow goes….. I am not a fan of him and I’m not NOT a fan of him. I’ll admit I’ve hated my fair share of athletes over the years (Bill Romanowski anyone?), but that being said I don’t see how anyone can HATE an athlete because he talks about god or tries to spread or (as if he’s entitled to win because of all these "missions" he goes on pounding people over the head with the "truth") as The DBowe Show put it… This is the absolute biggest load of bullshit I’ve ever heard. Have you ever heard Tebow say “I am the chosen one and I will win because it is God’s will” HELL NO YOU HAVEN’T! He does what any athlete who believes in god and wishes to say it publicly by saying something like “You can do anything through Christ”. Yes that was our Beloved JAMAAL CHARLES. They are not trying to get YOU to believe that THEY are only good because they believe in GOD and GOD has chosen them to be higher than the rest of us.That’s absurd! Your problem Mr. DBowe, like the most of America, is that everything you see about college football anymore, you have to hear about Tebow. I’m sick of that too! But saying that he believes he is somehow “a chosen one” or “better than every athlete because he believe in god” is absolute nonsense. If you want to tear Tebow down, pick a better subject. And get a life.

Low oil levels?

1) I’m tired of the media kissing Tebow’s ass. I don’t need to hear about Tebow making somebody a better person “by spending just 10 to 20 minutes with him”. I’m tired of the media making him look like a god. Now, on the other hand, am I tired of Tebow the competitor and Tebow the winner? No. He’s truly one of the most exciting players to watch in college football. And I do believe that he is the heart and soul of the Florida Gators football team. He puts the team first, and he never quits. That’s why I like Tebow so much. I don’t know how he’ll fare as an NFL QB, but as a passionate leader, I’d take him on my team any day.
2) I love mock drafts. Are they stupid? Yes. But they are fun and they certainly help time pass. Heck, even AP does a mock draft. I just don’t put too much stock into any of them.
3) I agree – the combine is a waste. If I want to know how good a player will be, I’ll just watch a bowl game. I won’t judge how good he is based on his bench press.
4) Avatar was sweet. I’m sure Kate Hudson dancing around was legit, but Avatar was way cooler.
5) I don’t care for the Rooney Rule. I don’t care what color my coach is – if he helps my team succeed, then I’m a happy camper.
6) I love D-Bowe. He just frustrates the hell outta me with his drops. That’s all. Anyone who thinks we should trade him is crazy.

Thanks for that Craig, you made me laugh out loud!

I can’t stand him. I think he’s a fraud, and I’ll tell you why.

While I’ve watched several Florida games, I started noticing something about “Mr. Perfect.” He is NOT a team player. He wants the glory… and he wants it all for himself. I have watched that ass throw touchdowns after he couldn’t run it in and be upset. Everyone else was congratulatory to him and the person who caught the ball. He wasn’t even excited. He walked off the field sulking that he didn’t get the TD. I’ve seen this exact scenario happen on dozens of occasions.

Now as to whether he’ll be able to be a QB at the pro-level? I’ll never say he couldn’t. But I wouldn’t want him on my team. The kid has taken so much abuse rushing the ball himself that there’s no way he could take too many years of NFL punishment doing the same thing. That’s what would keep me from drafting him if I were a GM… unless he dropped to the 3rd-4th round, then I might consider it. But I wouldn’t touch that kid with the Al Davis pole of drafting because of the abuse he’s taken in college.

I strongly disagree with your statement: “Because we all know that no woman anywhere wants to have sex with anyone” I’m a woman in my 30’s……I do not agree at all!!!!! Just sayin! I can’t find anyone that can keep up with me, so that is not a general statement of all women.

phfttttt lol

that post was great! rec’d….just not #4 lol
