I was discussing Quincy Roche as a draft prospect for why he was a solid player and why he was drafted late the good and bad. But as you say he was cut like alot of other players we were discussing in this thread.
I was not "picking a fight" just talking football. As for why you posted this which I ignored as someone trying to blow off some steam deleted and reposted again hours later I dont know.... If youre hungry try a Snickers.
You need to apologize for putting words in my mouth, pal. "Because you said they were the reason he played well." Wheretf did I say that? They were the reason he played well?!?! It was a benign comment about the fact they were teammates. Pundits grouping them together under The U umbrella, as if all Cane edge rushers are one and the same. Which led countless mocks to shoehorn the poor kid btwn 75 and 100, where he had no business being, and he's paid the price for it ever since. Clearly left a mark on you seeing as you swallowed it hook, line and sinker, stubbornly defending yourself four months later against someone who hadn’t even taking a side.
Rousseau and Phillips are lonnng, they have 3-4 inches on Roche, fast-twitch, explosive, classic NFL body types. Their instincts are more polished. They're not one-dimensional, predictable, head-down try-hards. Their skillsets have more meat on the bone, and there's no comparison between their athletic abilities: Rousseau RAS 7.75, Phillips 9.9 and Roche 6.4 = by definition average. In fact, his height/weight are in the category of "Very Poor". Maybe I was too generous by saying average; maybe less than average would have been more accurate.
Either way, I'm wasting my time here. You can say whatever you want, as can i. One thing you CANNOT do is blame me for something I didn't even say. Twist words with your nose pointed at the sky, "You said this" "You said that"—Monty Python-esque---- you ain't having that one on me. Play with hot water you're gonna get burnt.
I have nothing against Roche and wish him well.
