  • I'm not talking about improving...sure anyone can improve.....but this is the NFL. It's littered with guys that were good enough to get there but you have to be good at catching to stay. MLB Baseball is littered with guys who could hit fastballs but never the curve. At the elite level...you got it or you don't. sooo funny 😆

    Going off what you've said..

    32 NFL teams are idiots for taking on late round picks year after year after year to work and develop these guys? If they have no chance of improving their ability to catch a football...then, why waste the time and money?

    Everybody knocks TO for dropping passes but he has some off the best stats in the NFL.

    Theres not a WR in the NFL that cant catch, its about having the mental toughness to be able to produce when the pressures on.

    I'm sure there are planty people on this board who think DA can be taught to throw a touch pass....ha ha ha ha

  • I guess you guys are all going to telling me I can try to learn how to kick field goals.! If I try hard enough I can learn! Hogwash

    Sure you can, doesn't mean you'll be clutch under pressure. But as long as you're not a fat, lazy, glutton- you should be able to learn how to kick a 40 yarder with reasonable consistency.

  • "Actually you probably could learn. Could you be an NFL kicker?" "Sure you can, doesn't mean you'll be clutch under pressure."

    HA, thank you so very much! 😛

  • You ought to appreciate this Golfer.....

    I've played golf since I was 8 years old....and I got better. still a 12 handicap though....you see it comes down to putting. And

    I can drive the ball 320 but not always in the fairway.

    I can catch the ball pretty well too......but I'm being myopic....ha ha ha

  • Look...you call me dense....I 've given you 5 different examples of how you can improve yet not have "it". I talking about Hubbard and him being "taught" to catch at this stage of his career at his Talent level... And you compare hubbard to tiger woods. sooo funny

  • Fine you win....Hubbard can be compared to Tiger Woods! 😕

  • S Solon16

    Please.... thrill me with your acumen....give me an example of someone who had the dropsies in college that became a great dependable pro?

    If I'm not mistaken, Marques Colston had some issues bringing in the ball in college. But he spent his rookie minicamp assiduously working on it, as well as his route running, and turned into a solid pro.

  • @inspecta said:

    Are you guys telling me Jesus Christ can't hit a curveball?

    I'm confused....

    It is very bad to drink Jobu's rum. Very bad....

  • @jadbf said:

    Because I'll go back to this statement..and you can try to later reword it anyway you want.

    Tell that to James Harrison...you know...the defensive player of the year this year? Gee, TWO SEPARATE TEAMS considered him "iffy to start" for a number of years, both teams cut him more than once...and yet now he's the best....seems to me something changed....

    I don't need to reword it...we are talking about Catching a football!

  • @jadbf said:

    If you can't follow the comparisons, that's your problem. I think everyone else can.

    I don't have a problem at all....I think your arguements and comparisons are funny as hell! You obviously don't agree with my contention's. Which is your right. I don't have to call you names to get my point across 😁

    Going off what you guys said...let's bring back Quincy Morgan....ha ha ha...we can teach him. Let's coach em up!!! 😆

    have yah noticed our board asshole erty has deleted three or more threads in the last 24 hours to defend his mindless fascist stupidity

    Rich, it sucks that your posts/threads are being deleted. But do you think its really necessary to bitch about it in every single unrelated thread?

  • I have a better Idea....lets get Larry fitzgerald to teach hubbard how to catch....he'll be great! 🙂

  • S Solon16

    You obviously didn't make the debate team...

    you can't teach someone to catch after the age of 8! You got it or you don't.

    I agree and have said so for a long time. If you can't catch by the time you are 20, it isn't going to happen.

    You might as well try to teach somebody to run 4.3 40's.

    If everybody had like minds, we would never learn.

    Funny...I almost used that analogy. 🙂

  • Most people know how I feel about good ole Glue Hands Hubbard. Thing is, it's not just his poor hands, it's the whole gamut of athletic skills and instincts that he lacks. Watching him last year was like watching an unskilled junior high player for the most part. He jumps for balls at his waist, he flat out misjudges balls in the air, he has no idea of where his feet are, his routes look like he's drunk and overall he looks and plays like a dumbass.

    It's a lot more than just refining some poor receiving techniques, it's almost like a complete engine overhaul. This is the NFL, and if a guy doesn't have a semblance of game by the time he reaches this level he never will. Colston had drops issues, but he also knew how to play receiver. Glue Hands is completely clueless. If it wasn't for the fact Phillip drafted him last year he would have been cut.

    Is a pig's ass pork?
