RKade's PIMP OF THE WEEK (1 Viewer)

[RKade]

Again, for those who want to rip the Pimp Board it doesn't add anything of value. There are tons of message threads that you can rip on. This is strictly for players who I want to pimp and for players YOU want to pimp. If you don't want to pimp FA or WW players then post elsewhere. No harm.

The problem isn't with the pimping or locks of the week...the problem is the chest pounding you like to do yet you can't understand why you get ripped when you are wrong. Many posters understand the difference in pimping a player but not pimping themselves.When you pound your chest be prepared to get pounded in the threads.

No offense, but you just don't seem to get it. YOU always post ripping on other people which clearly eliminates you from sainthood. What's terrible is people like you who never post giving their own opinions. It's easy to sit on top on your high horse when you never want to get down and dirty. While there are people like me who will pimp and pump but ALSO admit when they fail, there are people who will ONLY bring up when other people are not right meanwhile never willing to take a chance that they could be wrong. Weak IMO and would much rather take the former than later. No offense but if you get your rocks off posting when I am wrong (or course NEVER when I am right) then more power to you.

You may want to get your facts straight on that. Your antics here are what gets you in trouble and I don't see anyone else acting like that here. "Other people" = RKade

Last year, when I picked up Chad Johnson, I searched and never found some sort of discussion about why this guy could provide much needed value. While I watch him perform very well and looked like he could blossum, everyone else said the only CIN player worth having is Dillon, period!I think if there would have been one PIMP thread ANYWHERE, more people would have snatched him up.

If I remember correctly, Chad Johnson was pimped all over this board last year and Cracker was one of his supporters.

There was plenty of Chad Johnson discussion here last year, RFade.There has been a PIMP thread on every unproven player in the NFL this year with a potential to contribute points in the event of an injury or poor performance by the incumbant - you should know since you start 90% of those threads.You're the ambulance chasing lawyer of FBGs.

Too bad RKade wasnt here last year. My money is that this is his 2st year of FFJAA

 

[grouse]

All of this talk about Domanick Davis being injury-prone is pretty nauseating. He was one of the best waiver pickups in most fantasy leagues this year and will undoubtedly be a Rookie of the Year nominee. I don't think anybody who owns him in a keeper or dynasty league right now wants to dish him off for anything less than a bonafide top-8 player, if at all. He's a 23-year old kid who is fortunately starting his career in an age where off-season preparation and training has become a refined science. As long as a player has the ambition and inner-drive to work their #### off, there is sure to be a monolithic difference in Davis' physical and mental toughness heading into next season following an off-season regimen that will draw the core focus and tap into the full resources of the best of what the Texans franchise can possibly muster. Furthermore, if it wasn't obvious to most previously, it sure has become painfully clear that no other RB currently on the Texans roster deserves a sniff of the field if Davis is a healthy option. Knock Davis all you want H.K., RKade et al, but if the only tool missing from his toolbox is how to prepare and protect his body for the duration of a full season, I'll gladly take my chances that he gets far better in this regard as his career matures. I think that's an easier road to hoe than having to teach a young runner who has been playing organized football for the better part of his life how to block in the NFL, or how to read their blocks in the NFL, or how to pick up blitzes in the NFL, or how to catch the football in the NFL. I was one of the first few on this board to tout Davis before he was a starter and the commissioner is going to have to pry him from my white-knuckled fists a couple of years from now when I have no choice but to throw him back into our draft.

Grouse, I'm sure thats of great consolation to all the FF teams that were counting on Davis yesterday... HERD

I'm sure it's not much of a consolation Herd. But, I am one of those Davis owners who just played (and fortunately won) a playoff game without him. And unlike Priest Holmes last year (I was one of those owners too) Davis was a waiver gift. If you're post-season success or failure hinges on a player you picked up on waivers, you only have yourself to be accountable for that. And I suppose those 2002 Priest owners who shyed away from drafting him this year feel really good about that right now, huh?

You can't have it both ways by saying Davis is a top-10 guy and a "gift from the waiver wire" but people have only themselves to blame if they needed him to win a FF title. He's either a top notch RB2 (which he is) or he isn't worth anything. You can't say "when he contributes, be happy because he didn't cost you anything. If he doesn't, oh well." The top-scoring team in my league is (thankfuly) eliminated b/c their RB2 didn't score them any points. HERD

I disagree Herd. You don't ever plan on picking up a top notch RB2 off of waivers. However, you do expect your top notch RB2 drafted in the early rounds to produce and play a role in your post-season success. My point was simply that for this year, teams that have DD received an unexpected gift. And, if your season hangs in the balance of whether that unexpected gift can play or not, you and you alone are accountable for that. Next year, when DD becomes an early round pick in most drafts, or is a keeper or franchise player for fantasy teams, he becomes part of your planned core nucleus. Thus the circumstances are completely different and the expectations are then rightfully adjusted accordingly.

To me this is just your way of proving that you were "right" earlier this year about Hollings vs. DD. This, of course, is because you are a Houston homer and watch all the games, blah ,blah blah, blah, blah.

 

[mnmplayer]

There is one important issue here. At this point of the season, the vast majority of people playing are in the playoffs. They got to the playoffs by having solid teams and usually with some depth. I'll

I disagree. I have a solid team and search the wires relentlessly. You never know when you are going to have an injury. I am in a 14 team (18 roster spots) league and the pickings are slim, much slimmer than the standard 10 or 12 team leagues with 15 roster spots. I picked up to FA last two weeks in Jax D and Vick (someone dropped him for a aspot start RB cos the media said he will not be back this year so he seemed useless in a a14 team redraft league). You always are looking to improve your team till the very end. While I disagreed with RKade's pick in Hollings vs Jax D this week, I still thinks its admireable to start threads such as these to help find an injury replacement or "longshot" to help even in playoffs.

Bravo! Thanks and I am glad someone can have the sack and agree that providing threads like these are a good thing! Now, I understand that there are sensitive people out there that HATE when someone pimps an unknown or unproven player for some reason I can never understand. Is it because if I'm right, some people hate someone who thumps their chest and isn't humble about it? Probably. So, when I am not right does that usually bring those people pissed waiting for me to go wrong call me on it to make them feel better? Sure, I guess so but I don't really care. Where I work and live, it's all about taking chances. Save the humble bs to other people because if it takes my attitude to bring attention to some of these players and spurns constructive discussions on them and only brings MORE players then that's all I care about. If I tout someone and he makes my team better or another person's team better then that's what we are trying to accomplish here but let's not kid ouselves, you can't be right 100% of the time so for those who bring up predictions that didn't come true then take confort in that if you want to post them I could care less. Just want to get that through to some of you who shouldn't even be in this thread that if you want to highjack it I don't care nor does anyone else who wants to participate in the pimp thread.

I'm not like most people Carl nor willing to conform to make you comfortable. If you don't like my posts then I suggest you not respond to them. I have seen plenty of your posts that you bring up (the ones not related to me) and wouldn't waste a minute responding to them. I have had numerous people who has been kind to offer me a spot in their league and other's who I exchange ideas with through PM. Regardless, I don't even care what you have to say so if you feel the same way about me, it's best to talk to someone who does.

Huh?In your own Hollings pimp thread, you've carried on discussion about Thomas Jones and the Milwaukee Bucks. And then you kick myself and perhaps Herd in the teeth for finishing up a discussion about Davis' durability that H.K. started? At least the Dom Davis issue is directly co-related to the subject of this thread, sheesh.

Rkade, you spent half a page arguing the wrong side of the "Larry Fitzgerald is eligible for the draft" argument in the middle of my Mock Draft. So, NO, we cannot/will not follow your lead. NO MERCY FOR YOU HIJACKER!!!HERD

 

[grouse]

Has anyone heard anything about DD's possible status for next week @TB?

(on RB Domanick Davis and LB Antwan Peek) "I do think, from a positive standpoint, we should get Domanick Davis back practicing on Wednesday, and we should have Antwan Peek back practicing on Wednesday. Those are two positives."SourceAnd the cherry on top...Warren Sapp is questionable with a left foot sprain that could keep him out of action against the Texans.Source.

Looks like H.K. abandoned his argument on DD & his injuries. Didn't make a whole lot of sense anyway, IMO.

 

[H.K.]

Looks like H.K. abandoned his argument on DD & his injuries. Didn't make a whole lot of sense anyway, IMO.

Actually I gave up on you. If you are OK with your RB's missing games and leaving them early due to minor bumps and bruises, that's your choice. Personally I like my RB's to stay on the field and play entire games. I do not care if it was D3's decision to leave the field, or the coaches, or his mother's, etc. We get points in our league for gaining yards and scoring TD's. AGAIN - The indisputable fact remains that D3 has started only 7 NFL games. He has failed to finish two of those games resulting in about three quarters time missed, and also missed his eighth start as a result. Statisically that means injury will cost him time in 37.5% (3 out of 8) of the games he is supposed to be playing. If that is good enough for you, fine. It is far below what I look for in a player I have on my roster.

My past posts were about his durability which I think is highly suspect based on this sampling of data in his short career. You respond by posting about proven studs like Edge, Faulk, Holmes, etc. The thing you leave out is that these guys have a track record and have missed games for major injuries, things that require surgery and rehab, so its not even close to being a fair comparison.

I say he is soft based on what he has and has not done on the field. Therefore if you really want to post something of value, then BE SPECIFIC about D3's situation. Do not lump him in with other players because he is clearly not them.

Hmmmm..........Faulk missed how many games this year, with a non serious injury?Edge was out how many games this year, again because of a non serious injury?

Portis was out how many games and missed parts of others with, again, non serious injuries?

Green missed how many games and parts of others, with various nagging injuries last year?

The comparision IS NOT ABOUT whether these guys are proven studs and DD is not.

The comparsion IS ABOUT how these RB's have also missed game time with nagging injuries, NOT MAJOR INJURIES, but nagging injuries, same as DD.

I'm still curious as to how you can reconcile that it's OK for them to have minor injuries that cause them to miss games or parts of games, while it's not OK for DD. You just don't make any sense.

Can you understand this HK? Is it clicking for you now?

From reading the responses of others in this thread regarding this, they also seem to be having trouble understanding your argument.

I understand his argument, what's not to understand? He says DD is soft while you say he isn't.

Nope, incorrect RKade.I'm not saying DD's soft. I'm not saying DD's rock solid either. I don't actually have an argument.

I am however, trying to understand why HK is basically saying avoid DD because of nagging injuries.

A direct comparision would be Portis.

Last year as a rook he got injured in training camp, same as DD.

This year Portis has missed entire games and parts of others due to nagging injuries, same as DD.

If you go by H.K.'s logic you should avoid Portis like the plague.

This is only one comparrision, there are of course many other RB's whose situations are an exact mirror of DD's.

My question is how / why H.K. has singled DD out as the only one to accuse of being soft and to stay away from, given the plethora of other RB's who fit the same criteria that he's established as a barometer.

I'm wondering if H.K. has some insider medical info that shows DD as being predisposed to a carrer of continous injuries, or if he's just disenchanted with DD for some personal reason.

That's really my question. Does H.K. have something to back up his argument? I've got DD as a possible Keeper and if H.K. has some solid info it would aid me in my decision as to whether DD is a Keeper for me, or not.

But I can't get the guy to give me a straight answer.

Do you really give a ##### why HK avoids him or not? HK thinks he's soft so what's it to you? Don't compare Portis who wasn't injured in college like DD was or injured during all of preseason like DD was (didn't even suit up!). Yes, Portis has question marks but this is not a great comparison. If HK wants to avoid Portis as well, what's it to you?!?!?!I think it boils down to this, DD is a possible keeper and when HK attacked him about his injury history, you took offense to that. Is he DD's doctor? Come on, of course not but his opinion is just as valid as yours. Face it, DDs problem is DD himself. If he performs like he should and doesn't miss multiple games next year, then your golden but if he does miss key games then only blame yourself cause you know deep down this guy hasn't shown he can stay healthy.If you expect HK to be able to back up his argument better than he has already then you must be able to back up your agrument better than you have so far. I assume both of you have no ties to DD or more importantly his doctor so this argument over who is right is just silly.

18 attempts for 19 yards with 5 yard run being his longest.Thanks for your contributions once again Rkade. That is the "pimp of the week" for sure. :rotflmao: :rotflmao: :rotflmao: :rotflmao: :rotflmao:

Sorry, hope he didn't knock you out of the postseason. Did you listen to me about Brock and TJones the following two weeks though?

One out of 100 predictions comes true. What a farging genius.And no. I don't listen to anything you say.Start Foster over Davis. What a melonhead.

Of course you listen to eveything I say, you wouldn'd comment so much and make incorrect statements about me if you didn't. Again, sorry if you were knocked out with my TH pimp. :( If not, start thinking about TJones buddy.Note: Davis wasn't playing and you forgot to mention the TJones and Brock pimp but I'll let it slide since you don't "listen to me".

Then again, this may explain why you are so upset.http://footballguys.net/forum/index.php?ac...f=2&t=57723&hl=Better luck next year but why are you commenting on my pimp of the week when you are finished? :(

I should have myself shot for even looking at this thread ( or any that Rkade starts). My life feels all empty now. Worst 10 minutes ever.
