How good can Sam Shields become?

[3irty1]

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

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.

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.

I called Miami and suggested they move Shields to CB.

I knocked up Sheilds mom when I was in college....I WIN!!!!

Can't wait until Joe gets the search function working.

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.

So you paid child support. When Shields get extended - Cha-Ching! for you.

Lester Hayes was not a brain surgeon and he figured it out. Give him time, one position and one defense and I think he will be good to go.

I wish Stickum was still allowed.

Nah, i ducked out...deadbeat dad...now I get nothing

[MichiganPackerFan]

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!

I called up Ted Thompson and suggested he sign Shields.

I called Miami and suggested they move Shields to CB.

I was going to go with "he calls me "Daddy'" before i saw yours

If he improves at all, it would be like the couple of years we had with Harris and Woodson, or at least like McKenzie and Tyronne Williams - they had a couple of pretty good years.

Tyronne is another good CB that has been here during the past 10 years. I'm pretty sure he started all 16 games as a rookie.

I don't think Tyrone started as a rookie. Craig Newsome and Doug Evans started his rookie year. Tyrone became the starter his second year.
