The next Sterling Sharpe

[bobblehead]

James Jones was a poor mans Sterling Sharpe. That was always my impression.

Watching the highlights, its easy to see why scouts fall in love with certain traits. Sharpe had great hands and ran routes well and most importantly got open for his QB.

But what stands out on each play is that he is bigger and faster than just about everyone else in the D backfield.

Also, the Lindy Infante offense was unfairly maligned in these parts. If he had Wolf drafting for him, would have been fine. Country club atmosphere that Wolf didn't like also could have been a dispirited ball club that had lost too much.

Was fun watching young Favre too. One of a kind. I see why it was hard for him to break thosr habits late in his career. It's who he was.

But to Favres credit, be had two sweet spots in his career in two different ways.

Favre's arm was his biggest value, and his biggest nemesis. Nothing is more fun than watching an athlete's highlight film and after each play saying, "How did he do that?" Magic, Jordan, Favre, Barry Sanders.....

I was always amazed by Sharpe's ability to get open in key situations when everybody in the stadium knew that Favre or Majik were going to him.

Jennings speed
Jordys knack
Davantes size

Decent skillset

Instant replay. Detroit wild card. Countless other plays. Stay Sharpe!

My buddy and I in college road tripped for the Detroit WC game. Ended up with awesome seats around the 40. Favre's TD to Sterling was almost as high as it was deep. BF had a cannon fo' sho'.

Great memories, right??

I was at the last game at County Stadium (“He dives into the end zone!”). Sharpe’s last full game. He caught a TD in the first half of that one. Week later against Tampa he had three in the first half before ending his career in the second.

Favre’s large hand also gave him one of the best pump fakes. He basically could do the entire throwing motion and pull the ball back in. Fooled dbs all the time.

No doubt. I was also at the County Stadium snow game when he thought he had crossed the endzone.

Came back to bite him in the dick pics. But yes, he sure did.

Nothing looks flimsier than a mushroom top next to 10-1/2 inch hands. You bring in Bridget the midget for that photo shoot. Nice pump fake tho.

I wouldn't compare Brown to Sharpe. Imo, Brown is more like Jennings. Sharpe = a more agile Anquan Boldin?
