    Shields is a natural talent... feel a lot better about the defense as a whole knowing that we're fielding 3 solid corners. Shields is real find.

    I agree. He has made quite an impact for an undrafted rookie. It's nice to see a player that looks like he can replace a starter if needed. I never had the same feeling about any other young CB in the last 8-10 years, other than Tramon Williams.

    The one thing that is a bit of a concern if Williams and Shields are the starters in the future, the Packers will be a bit small at cornerback. Neither one is very big.

    I'd just like to state I was the first poster here that was high on Shields before anyone even knew who he was. Yay for me!

    Tramon still won that jump ball yesterday.

    I called up Ted Thompson and suggested he sign Shields.

    I called Miami and suggested they move Shields to CB.

    Not true. My brother and I saw him in the first couple TC practices of the year. He was breaking up passes from the start. Unless you knew he was good before he ever stepped foot on the practice field (in which case you're just throwing darts and nobody cares), you weren't the first.

    He certainly has the size/speed and ball skills to be outrageously good. He really has no ceiling. That said I think he might be limited by his intelligence and if you'd heard the guy speak you would probably agree. My guess is that he becomes about as good of a corner as Devon Hester is a WR.

    If my memory serves me, Brandon was the first one I heard gushing over shields. Also he was always saying we don't need a f.a. Running back due to having Starks on the roster....good call Bran

    Ok, go to the other board and check. I remember saying this guy was going to be special and someone compared him to Mike Hawkins then you said you and your brother said he was better. Like I stated before I'm a big VT fan and watch a lot of ACC football. I'm also typing drunk on my iPhone and don't feel like going on with this topic but I'll be back tomorrow. And fuck Colin Cowherd for saying Matt Ryan is better than Rodgers.

    This thread has become exciting. I wonder whose shit will end up smelling better: Brandon's or JH's?

    That happened sometime in October.

    Colin Cowherd is the weathervane of conventional wisdom (I may have said this before). He claims to appreciate smarts, but he really worships money. He is a mimic. I heard he is getting some kind of TV show. Someone will need to check how far along we are to the apocalypse.

    He also thinks the Baseball Hall of Fame shouldn't be about nerds and numbers, but then agrees with guests who think the only measuring sticks are 300 wins, 4,000 strikeouts, 500 homers or 1200 RBIs. In other words, he prefers large numbers and is fearful of decimal points.

    Not. A. Fan.
    Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

    Its close because I think Brandon is onto something and both thoughts might be in the same thread. Its possible one of them is 12 minutes smarter than the other though....

    I think Colin Cowherd is the ESPN employee that annoys me the most... and that's really saying something.
