Vinny tips his hand on the final 53

[quote=Schneed10;583374]Here are your numbers:

Rock Cartwright, 6th in the NFL in kickoff return yards, 2008:

2008 NFL Player Returning Stats - National Football League - ESPN

Rock Cartwright, 6th in the NFL in kickoff return yards, 2007:

2007 NFL Player Returning Stats - National Football League - ESPN

Rock Cartwright, 2nd in the NFL in kickoff return yards, 2006:

2006 NFL Player Returning Stats - National Football League - ESPN

The only way RBs seemingly bloom late is when they're stuck behind an entrenched star and then something changes (see Turner, Michael behind LDT and Holmes, Priest behind Jamal Lewis).

Thanks for making my point!!

Okay since you are a great statistician and that's what you base everything on (dork). Post this stat! How many times has he returned one for a TD?

Then come back and talk to yourself.

Is this Rock or Danny Smith? LMAO

While I have no beef in this fight, I will just say that stats are pretty important and a bit hard to argue against.


That being said....when does the season start again?

So are you dismissing the fact that for the past 3 years he has been in the top 6? and if so, what would you accept from his replacement?

First, you asked Schneed to show you the numbers, then you summarily dismiss quantifiable facts and name call. That's a way to lose arguments. As for the TD number, rather than asking a dismissive question you might have gone and looked yourself, my guess is the stats that Schneed gave you include those numbers. But stats are for dorks, so they don't count, but then you ask for them. strange rebuttal sir, strange rebuttal.

No he called me a half-wit while back. Stats are important but not everything. Devin Hester is 28th on that list. Would you rather have him or Rock. Josh Cribbs is under him also..Who would you rather have. Is that so hard to understand. No my point was the one I made above. I am well aware that Rock has only return 1 in his whole career. I was actually be sarcastic. because I knew he would go through the effort to post the stats like an ass. But to make my point again. he came out with the half-wit comment and began to belittle me. Read the previous reply then you willget my point. Stats are important. But NOT EVERYTHING. We had the 4th ranked D in the league last year. But only had 28 sacks. Denver was one of the top offenses in the league. They sucked. So there are other things that factor in beside just the numbers..

Well, it's kick returning, not punt returning. And while I'd take Cribbs over pretty much everyone, Hester has never been much of a kick returner. Most of his TD's come against the punt unit.

Rock doesn't return punts. But that doesn't mean he doesn't play on the unit elsewhere. Granted, that one unit does suck, but hard to argue that it's specifically Rock's fault.

See, I understand that stats aren't everything, but if you exclude stats, what else do you look at when defending/criticizing Cartwright? from what i have read it seems like your biggest beef is only 1 TD in 3 yrs. If thats true, than its a stat, and by all the stats together Cartwright is a top returner. The best no, but proven effective yes.

If you say don't only use stats, then the question is, what else do you want to look at; the pro-RC people point to his locker room presence, his leadership on all phases of STs, except FG.(again as highlighted by coaches and players alike). And his short yardage pounding(yes this is his weakest part). All I see the anti-RC people saying is, we gotta go with someone new. Maybe I've missed the non-stat argument, if so please restate it.

Overall, if the team goes a different way, great I hope it works. If they stay with RC, well then we should have a top 10 return game, albeit unlikely to see it produce that 1 TD you want.

NO. I am not excluding stats. That's the thing. I am including everything. Age, Versatilty, Running Ability & Stats. Not just stats alone. Its not a question about only kick returns. Its a question of if he is that valuable that we can't use another player that could "possibly" be as good as him as a returner. Who can also contribute at anotehr position like back up running back, wr or defensive player. Him being one dimensional and not that dynamic makes him expendable. I will bet you. If devin was back there he could return punts just as well as or better. But he also plays WR too...How many times I have to explain this....

Just like I created a post about Devin Kick Returner?

Some people got waht I was saying. some were like it would never happend. then what happend the next preseason game. They tried him out a KR. But I know nothing about football. The writing is on the wall!!

Thing is, you're not including everything. You might be including more than just kick return yardage, but you aren't going to win a nobel prize for doing that. You aren't looking at the big picture.

You've (very unsuccessfully) tried to disprove that Rock offers plus value. Then you've asserted that we need to get younger at the RB position (probably correct), but don't suggest any alternatives to how this could happen. You basically just hate Rock irrationally for everything he is not.

What is really apparent is that you really think highly of your own football knowledge, which is fair. However, you've yet to show us any reason to take said knowledge seriously. If you know as much as you think you do, there should not be such a disconnect there.

Dude, I don't even know what you are saying anymore. Were you drinking heavily last night? Sounds like your drunk!
