Happened to our FFL last year. Our first draft, August, 1995. Best draft experience, VY rookie, held in Las Vegas.

Jimmy Johnson made him famous. Jerra made himself and the NFL richer.
Herschel Walker dI'd his part.

In for yet another Kool-aid thread.
Btw... KD is on every of the most potent offensive players in history. He is better than KL BY FAR on offense.
However, it is hard to quantify KL's two way impact. Not saying that he's the MVP and that's KD didn't deserve it. Just think it's hard to compare KD's season against KL when only one of them played elite defense.
BTW.. I love both players so it's not a rub against either.

I'm always perplexed by this kind of post. First of all, you mean he's ranked #1, but not necessarily the best, right? So would you admit that it's subjective how good he is, and Herman and Warehime just aren't that high on him, for whatever reason? It's no "mystery," they just don't think he deserves an offer, obviously. Are you or the guys from the recruiting services better judges of OL talent than the guys who haven't offered him, i.e., Herman and Warehime?
I won't admit that it's subjective how good he is. Not when 41 schools have offered him scholarships, including Oklahoma, Ohio St., Michigan, Oregon, Florida, Georgia, Arkansas, Aggy, Arizona St., Auburn, TCU, Texas Tech, Okie Lite, Utah, LSU, Ole Piss, Mississippi St and Colorado.
Just because Herman and Warehime haven't offered doesn't mean that he's not good or worthy of his high 4 star ranking.
I think it's fair to say that it's a mystery why Herman and Warehime haven't offered him.
The Dallas Cowboys will win a super bowl within the next five years and it will rustle the sh*t of former Dallas fans.
Couldnt agree more about Jerry being undeserving of the Hall of Fame. The man can never get out of his own way (ego), and has been nothing but a serious impdiment to The Cowboys return to the Super Bowl. How many years (decades) has this team been the epitome of medicrority (until recently) due to Jones' egomaniacal, bumbling micromanagement of coaches (in name only) and player selection & personnel!? He's made of mockery of what was once the greatest football franchise in NFL history. But he's in the Hall of Fame now? For what? Hall of Game Snake Oil Salesman?
I've said at least 20 times that I view Shane's upside to be that of a guy that goes to New York at the end of the season at some point in his career.
The question I have had for him is whether he is ready to take that leap this year. I still have questions.
You literally are making up a narrative that doesn't exist.
There are numerous big fish, and, yes, I know a few of them. So does pretty much everyone on the staff.
I think it's something that everyone knew would be a concern when he committed. Long way until signing day.
you're not paying attention if you think Durant isn't an elite defensive presence.
Don't. Care.
If he decommits, he will have decommitted from both Lincoln Riley and Tom Herman, two of the best offensive coaches and quarterback developers in the college game.
As somebody mentioned the other day, it's not realistic to think you'll have a QB room of Shane Buechele, Sam Ehlinger, Casey Thompson, Camron Rising and Roshcon Johnson in 2019. That's not going to happen.

They're both elite players. They got to the same place in two different ways.
Durant came into the league as a near elite offensive player but a weak defensive player and worked his way to become an elite defender as well.
Leonard came into the league as a near elite defender and a weak (limited) offensive player and worked his way to become an elite offensive player as well.

Disappointing and I couldn't be more surprised. All those guys looked like beasts in the making to me when they signed.
He pretty much totally changed how NFL owners market their teams to the tune of millions, helped usher in the NFL on fox and has had a massive impact on the league for many years. Anyone that denies that is just being a hater. Hell even the recent team moves with the raiders to Vegas, rams to LA etc had jones involved.
i do think he was a good defender. I also think he's grow significantly in the last 4/5 years in his defense. Not saying he was a slouch, but also not saying he was elite. With his length, he has always been amazing at blocks and steals.
The hard part to quantify is how often does the other player have to throw it away or miss shots because you were defending them.
If you think that people were recommending KD for defensive POY in 2012 then I would be surprised.
In 2012, KD was considered one of the top three offensive players in the league.
In 2016, KL was considered one of the top 3 defensive players in the league.
I don't believe either of them gets top three in the other category.
Once again, my point was NOT to say KD wasn't good on D. It was merely to say that some of the things that KD does is not easy to quantify on that comparison chart. And... I love KD too
I'm not sure that was the question. I'm not sure of that, but i's certainly possible.
Yeah but he's in the hall of fame for contributions to the NFL (which are massive) not the hall of fame of GMs. Dallas has been much better there though over the last few years with their drafting, scouting dept and his son being heavily involved
