Is Haden Washed Up?
-
What exactly did you show, other than Haden was inconsistent last year (and he was pretty bad the year before)?
I don't see what you're talking about.
Has nothing to do with "supporting" the Browns, we're trying to objectively look at a football team. Just because you don't choose to do that, doesn't mean other people aren't allowed to enjoy their team in that way.
Joe Haden is and has been overrated for awhile.
I showed that he was bad the first 3 games last year.....and showed people bitched and moaned then.....and I showed he then played great and made the Pro Bowl...and I showed the people all changed their tune....(so, that is what I was talking about)
I dont know you from Adam, but Im usually fairly objective....and try to be a more pragmatic voice when evaluating players....which means not too far either way....like completely freaking out when someone plays a few bad games....I dont see how knee jerk reactions are "enjoyable" and they definitely dont = objective....though they are very common here....
Does overrated = washed up....?.....Cause I said he was a good player(and so did you....2 posts back)....so, how is it being objective to say a good player is washed up or suddenly turned to crap, based only on a few games....?
And I definitely didnt say y'all cant enjoy tearing players down....have at it bub....there are 20 neg head thread going right now and I aint stopping any of them....just remember I have an equal right to post my opinions too.....even if they dont meet yours....
EXACTLY what Mud said below. Mike H has been known to do that so much in the past - he screwed up the board
with the arrogant knee jerk hate analysis crap of his. Joe Haden just so happens to be one of the very best cb's in
the NFL, and the entire NFL knows it. And x-rays often don't show minute fractures - that's why he apparently is going to have an MRI.

You were washed up around here once, Mike H. And Mike H. - you're no Joe Haden with a rib injury.

I can support Haden and still call him out when he's garbage. I can support a family member and still tell him he's an insufferable douchebag failure TCPO

well, isn't the obvious question - if your family member fell off a ladder, and broke ribs?...
and tried to bowl that night, and was an excellent bowler...
you dismiss them as a failure and garbage?
Come on, man !

Played great is an opinion. The Pro Bowl is not the best measure of success. He had a poor 2013 season too, if you remember.
It's not knee-jerk for me to say Haden is overrated, because I've been saying it for two years. Like you said, you don't know me or my opinion on him, but now you do.
I wouldn't consider him washed up, because I think he'll even out and have another "good" but not "great" season.

Played great is an opinion(yes it is....am I allowed?...or just you). The Pro Bowl is not the best measure of success. He had a poor 2013 season too, if you remember.(no, I dont remember that)
It's not knee-jerk for me to say Haden is overrated(didnt say it was....said it was knee jerk to declare him washed up....pay attention), because I've been saying it for two years(well, arent you the bees knees). Like you said, you don't know me or my opinion on him, but now you do.(never asked and dont care...and now you know too)
I wouldn't consider him washed up, because I think he'll even out and have another "good" but not "great" season.(which was my whole point that you just chose to debate...keep up the good work!)

I can support Haden and still call him out when he's garbage. ........A good corner, sure. Elite, I'm not positive.
Like I already said....you can say whatever you want.....(but im allowed to counter, right?).....
Though, Id point out that "good corner, not elite".... doesnt equal washed up.....
And Im game to say he hasnt played well....hell, most of the team isnt playing well.....but Im not down with instantly declaring them shit because of it(and thats not adoration).....
But, hey, maybe your right.....maybe Haden completely sucks all of a sudden....we should just cut chase and move on.....

Washed up, to me, is when you're being paid more than your worth. Haden is currently being paid what some people would call "the fourth highest average contract for CB's" but is currently ranked what some would call "121st" in passes defended.
Slow start? I'd say so. The NFL is a business, and when you're overpaid/underperforming, you're hurting the team in more ways than one. 3 games does not a trend make, but after 6 or 7, those talks should probably start gaining some traction.
EXACTLY what Mud said below. Mike H has been known to do that so much in the past - he screwed up the board
with the arrogant knee jerk hate analysis crap of his. Joe Haden just so happens to be one of the very best cb's in
the NFL, and the entire NFL knows it. And x-rays often don't show minute fractures - that's why he apparently is going to have an MRI.

You were washed up around here once, Mike H. And Mike H. - you're no Joe Haden with a rib injury.
I wouldn't say "very best in the NFL". Maybe one of the top 8, sometimes top 5. Currently top 121.

If I were paying him $11 million this year and $50 million over the next 4 years after that, and there was another good bowler on my team who has consistently played just as good as him throughout his career and is currently playing better than him, and there were other good, young bowlers on my team that were sat because this guy HAD to bowl, and he was never necessarily "excellent" to begin with but just decently above average with some glimpses of excellence, and I could move him to another team in exchange for the chance to draft another good bowler for much cheaper...yeah, I would have to contemplate "dismiss"ing him.

Fair enough....though Id say most players get paid "after they perform".....had he left 2 years ago because we chose NOT to pay him, what would you have said then?
My whole point was I simply felt this thread was too soon and a bit misguided.....and would agree that 6-7 games would have been more appropriate......
So, now weve gone from washed up after 3 games... to....."good player, but not elite"....and 7 games is a fairer measure.....right?

Washed up would imply lacking skills and no longer useful. Haden would be picked up by any other NFL team and excel.
Washed up ? GTFOHWTBS !
You're right, he's a good player and can play in the NFL, but he hasn't lived up to his billing as an "elite" cornerback. "Shutdown" or "lockdown" never, save a game or two against AJ Green that his name is still living off to this day (don't forget that one game he shut down Calvin Johnson on one knee!).

Ah... two or three anecdotal "elite" games are discountable, but one anecdotal, poor play vs. Cecil Shorts is valid in justifying a two-year position...

Beat me to it...
I'd only add that you pay to secure your top talent... and if you're signing that talent to be a building block in CLE, then you even have to pay a little more.

True, but just because a player has a good game doesn't necessarily make him a better player.
How many #1 WR's will the Williams boys line up against this season?

Ha!....Im with ya 100% CD.....
I get that Haden takes the Superstar WR every single game.....I understand he plays man coverage every time and gets no help.....and I also get that he is our #1 CB and, possibly, one of the top 2-3 players on this team.....
And, I also get that he has played poorly the first 3 games(along with just about everyone else)......just dont think it means he's done, cause its happened before(like last year)........
That was my one simple point.....that apparently I was wrong to put out there.....cause it's "enjoyable"(quote) to speculate about Joes demise, whilst it's uncool to offer history that he might just get it together(like last year)....

What was the score of that game? Remind me. How many times did kaep go down? Then you can check how many tackles shazier had that game. If he's occupying lineman and freeing up the linebackers he's doing fine. Criticizing Heyward is hilarious. He's one of the top 34 ends in the nfl.
Expect last week you played the Rams.... Two weeks ago you played kaep.....
Expect last week you played the Rams.... Two weeks ago you played kaep.....
For me last week was the niners, this week at the time of your lost was the Rams. You do realize the steelers play a 34 right? You also realize Heyward gets doubled a lot as well right? Typically in a 34 the defensive end occupies blockers to get the linebackers free. The Steelers just switched to a one gal which allows defensive ends to rush the qb more specifically. Heyward is being doubled, tuitt is doing the damage. Pretty soon Heyward won't be able to be doubled because Tuitt is tearing it up. Either way Heyward is a terrific 34 end and the Steelers extended him as a result. If you are going to pick on a steeler at least target a player open for legit critique.

There's two.
Interestingly enough - I found a tool last week that compared physical aspects and career performance - and Haden's closest match was Tramon. Let me see if I can find it later.

I'd probably make the Tramon/Haden trade if only for cap purposes. It's a business, man.
