Darnell Wright--Colossal Bust

[remydat]

Were you wrong about LaPorta?
I follow around just fine. You make plenty of bad hot takes, then run like the wind when they are proven wrong.

What are you claiming I said about LaPorta?

Except he was as the Lions drafted him in the 1st and if they didnt someone else would have as Hock was a consensus 1st round pick jackass. Not to mention a dude you used to suck off regularly on here.

You like bets. I will bet you LaPorta is not getting 874 yards and 11 TDs as a rookie like Claypool did. Until he does everything you say is just made up bullshit.

LaPorta has 1 TD so I stand by the above.

The Lions took good players. The problem is they did not improve the team drastically. They drafted like they were the Eagles or Chiefs just trying to keep a SB caliber team intact. To illustrate.

Gibbs - Good player but unlikely to outproduce what they got from Swift and Williams and would have gotten from Monty and Swift. Also just spent 18m on Monty.

Campbell - Unlikely to be that much better than Alex Anzelone who they just gave 18m to.

LaPorta - Unlikely he matches Hock production as TEs usually take a couple years to develop.

Branch - He actually upgrades the team in the short and long term.

Hooker - See you in 2025.

Martin - Soon to be 24 year old non-combine invite who is likely a project.

So basically one guy who is a clear upgrade for 2023. Now long term some of these guys will offer value but if you told me the Lions would have 5 picks in the first 3 rounds and only have one guy that significantly improves the 2023 team I would take it.

Hock had 914 yards and 6 TDs last year. LaPorta is on Pace to beat his yards but not his TDs. But sure if he comes close to 914 and 6 then I will admit I was wrong.

So please quote whatever you are claiming I said as not sure LaPorta has proven me wrong yet. Thanks in advance.

LMAO, I said Laporta will be more valuable than Chase Claypool this year. (both cost high second round picks)
How soon your convenient memory forgets. You want to compare Hocks last year, to Laporta's rookie year, how sad of you.

 

[Chicago4Life]

Ok. So then with your logic if Mahomes was drafted by the Bears he’d be a fail as well.

first of all i talked about carter and the issues that surrounded him both on and off the field along with how he showed himself to scouts and these are the issues why carter could have failed if drafted by a different team...mahomes had no off field issues, it was merely about how he would transition from a heavy air raid system to the nfl. For you to think these two situations are alike is just idiotic but lets see anyway...

if the bears drafted mahomes do you think fox/dowell loggains develop mahomes? or nagy the "be you" guy develops mahomes? maybe he plays competently but no way do i think mahomes would have had the same level of success that he has now...first off, mahomes got to sit back and learn with no pressure to start, next he had hill and still has kelce, two guys that are future HOF's, a stout oline and not to mention a strong running game. lastly he has a HC/playcaller who is the best in the business having done it for multiple decades, making it easy for him. The bears offensive coodinators from the last decade... turner, loggains, helfrich, lazor, nagy...where are these guys? out of the league or back to their old bosses because noone wanted them.

Who says a rookie is a colossal bust after 4 games?

You are so stupid. I asked you to quote what I said not what you said. When you said LaPorta would be more valuable my point to you is if you wish to compare you compare at the same stage of development ie when both were rookies.

Note you never took the bet because you didnt believe LaPorta would outproduce Claypool's rookie year.

Backpedalling faster than Deion Sanders covering Jerry Rice. LaPorta is a rookie. The fairest comparison is to Claypool's rookie year just like you tried to make a bet comparing to Hockensen's rookie year. Now it doesnt favor your so you running scared.

So no bullshit. You taking the bet or not. If not then again kindly shut the **** up coward.

You compare a guy's rookie year to another guy's rookie year. You dont want to because you know how that story ends.

Oh boy, you want to compare a rookie TE to a rookie WR, lol.

You were running your mouth about LaPorta and Claypool but now you scared. Pathetic.

I didnt like Kmet in the deaft. I wanted Claypool over him ie the guy with 874 yards and 11 TDs.

I said LaPorta will have more yards this year than Claypool. Could care less about the ghost of Christmas past.
Then you tried to move the goal posts (typical Remy) and wanted to compare rookie years. Fine, both Kmet and LaPorta were second rounds picks, let's see how their rookie seasons stack up.

Now you are running like a scared little girl.

Incorrrect. I just know when Claypool outproduces LaPorta you going to cry that LaPorta is just a rookie or he is a TE not a WR. So just getting ahead of that now.

This has to be a joke. Wright is playing pretty damn well for a rookie with four starts. I mean what the actual ****?

Its Montucky

Meatballs. Still has to show a lot more improvement tho

 

[ThatGuyRyan]

He did not have a good game against Denver but has played solid overall.

 

[noprophet]

I like Darnell.

 

[Montucky]

He did not have a good game against Denver but has played solid overall.

He got worked by a defense only slightly better than the Bears, looking like a complete scrub against the likes of Jonathon Cooper and Nik Bonitto. This is Chase Young's get right game.

Well, someone disagrees with you.

Don't Look Now, But Darnell Wright Quietly Ranks Among NFL's Best

Darnell Wright may not make the flashy plays Jalen Carter has, but the Bears rookie tackle has been rapidly ascending.

This is the guys new bit. He's out on ripping on fields because all of ccs is. Now he's chosen a new target to try to rile people up, whether he plays well or not. I wouldn't pay too much attention to him. He would've chose dj moore if that wasn't easily defensible by looking at #'s.

Also, sportsmockery isn't worth referencing as a defense

 

[abegibronreborn]

I've been saying it all season. He's really bad.

We're four games into his rookie season.

 

[JoJoBoxer]

Dudes have no appreciation for how players fit. Carter has only played 13 rush snaps the first 3 games compared to 76 pash rush snaps. He is a pass rush demon for sure but there is no way he would be used that way here. He would almost certainly play more and his per snap production likely declines given his conditioning.

Not to mention he would be the focal point of opposing offenses given the limited talent on the Bears DL.

Dexter by contrast has 45 run snaps and 47 pass rush snaps ie he is not being used as just a pass rusher.

This does not have anything to do with the present argument, but it is something I heard yesterday on Hoge & Jahns.

Trevis Gipson has an equal amount of sacks as half of the total sacks that the Bears have ... on 10 defensive snaps rushing the passer.

 

[JoJoBoxer]

Ok. So then with your logic if Mahomes was drafted by the Bears he’d be a fail as well.

A failure? No

A failure compared to what he has done in KC so far?

Absolutely.

He would, without a doubt, not have been as successful in Chicago. He would have had none of the offensive weapons that he has enjoyed in KC and he has already shown in the Super Bowl, that he is human if he is given zero protection from his offensive line. Then there is the lack of Reid as part of his success. Do you think that Nagy and Getsy would have provided him what he got with Reid, especially with Getsy trying to force him to stay in the pocket?

No, he would not have had the same poor numbers as QBs since Trubisky, but he wouldn't be the same Mahomes that he is today.

No but SM is referencing other analysis from other analytical websites. I didn’t go in depth with it

 

[dennehy]

LaPorta looks great. He was also a great prospect and several people on here were high on him.

Wright has been solid overall. Look at the last couple years, and many, many highly selected OTs struggled. Sewell and Thomas come to mind, as guys who were straight ass for most of their rookie seasons and just a year later were close to all-pro level. Every first round rookie OT last year, and there were 4 picked in the top 15 iirc, was terrible for most of the season.

Wright has made several obviously brutal plays, a few untouched sacks, a few awful penalties. But he's also done his job well on most of his snaps. I'd give him a few more games.

Oh, I'm well aware, thanks though for the heads up. Was my way of rattling his chain.
