who is our most physically gifted player now?

Sean is gone... Now that the draft is over and we have atleast a glimpse of who is on the 08/09 skins I want to know who do you think is our most physically gifted player on this roster. For me it would have to be between Portis, Landry or Moss.
Moss gets hurt often but he still has the speed, he can jump high as hell and makes sick cathes. Portis has speed, football smarts and can take a hit n keep on going. Lastly Landry is just a freak! Everytime I see him I just think about Sean, because he was even more talented and seeing them together as veterans would have been magical. Well, If I had to pick one it would be Landry just because of speed, physical presence and football smarts... plus he can catch the ball. What do you think Warpath?

I would agree on Landry, but just to be different I will say London Fletcher. He is old, but he is still fast and he makes every tackle on defense.

Andre Carter

Skinsfan1967 · 05-25-2008, 04:45 PM

He runs, he catches, he blocks, he throws touchdown passes.....Clinton Portis.

Daseal · 05-25-2008, 05:23 PM

Chris Samuels. This dude is huge, fast and agile. It's amazing, I don't understand how the human body can do that. I really think we don't understand how good this guy is because he does it year in and year out.

Sheppdog · 05-25-2008, 05:33 PM

Andre Carter is simply ripped if your talking about phisically gifted its him... As far as an overall gifed player I would go with Portis because of his speed, awareness, and above all he is one of the best blockers on the team.

The Goat · 05-25-2008, 06:40 PM

This is tough as hell. I thought Landry as soon as I saw the thread but like ya'll said AC is a beast top to bottom, CP is a mega-talent, and I think Cooley has to make honorable mention. Probably right now I have to go w/ Portis because of all the intangibles coupled w/ his talent and ability but... I believe it will be LL within a year or two.

Definately agree with this. Obviously most of the NFL has gifted talent, but Chris Samuels for his size is truley amazing.

EternalEnigma21 · 05-25-2008, 07:08 PM

id probably go with landry. dude is pretty beast. I hate his stupid penalties, and hope he soon realizes all he's gonna do is ensure that he's called for anything even close to a penalty for the next 5 years, but you have to admire his talent and raw athleticism.

MTK · 05-25-2008, 07:14 PM

As far as raw skills and athleticism I would definitely go with Landry. He could be the 2nd coming of Sean Taylor.

djnemo65 · 05-25-2008, 07:26 PM

This is an interesting question. I agree that Landry is the obvious answer, although AC most resembles a Greek mythological character. As John Thompson said, he has muscles growing out of his muscles.

I am excited to see what Devin Thomas is able to bring to the table as well. Kiper said this year that going just on physical talent he was a top talent, the problem being that he was JUCO transfer and a one year wonder. But if we are talking purely athletic skills I think the sky is the limit for him.

ecupirate08 · 05-25-2008, 07:35 PM

id have to go ARE... played qb in college, also played bball (may baseball too?) and by far is the most agile on the team

EternalEnigma21 · 05-25-2008, 09:07 PM

are is a strong contender, good call.

bito21 · 05-25-2008, 11:40 PM

definitly landry.no question.i just cant wait 2 see these rookies(u cant forget about cooley either, he may not b the fastest, but none of those guys can make a spectacular catch then run over the next 2 or 3 guys on the way 2 the endzone!COOOOLLLEEEEEYYYYYYY!!!!!
