King on M&M: Talib 'not a great corner'

 

[SwedishPat]

He may not be great, but according to me great is a very high mark. Brady is great. Revis is great. Ray Lewis was Great. I don't expect Talib to be great. I expect him to be good.

 

[JackBauer]

I read until I got to this:

Added King: "The folks at Pro Football Focus who chart such things ...

 

[Patriot Missile]

I don't remember anyone ever saying he was. If he can just be above average to good it's a win. Anything better is icing on the cake.

 

[Sciz]

because now the Patriots are without third-, fourth- and fifth-round picks in this draft

First he cited PFF, then he got this completely wrong...

 

[Fixit]

We don't need great. We need competent+.

 

[Deus Irae]

Peter needs to step up his game. That's shoddy work.

Peter King and WEEI.....a match made in heaven

 

[qbno12]

Peter King also said Chiefs win will AFC West and of the 23 teams he visited, they have the most skillful players ..

King on M&M: Talib 'not a great corner'

I stopped paying attention to what Peter Dink, I mean King, thinks, says or writes a long, long time ago. He's an expert on four things: coffee, microbrews no self-respecting beer drinker would touch, his daughter's high school softball career and the detailed terrain of Brett Favre's testicles.

 

[Kontradiction]

King completely whiffed on that one. Though I'll take great, I'll also take good at this point as well. And that's what Talib is: good.

 

[oldrover]

At some point, Peter King went negative on the Patriots.

 

[Kid~Brady]

Isn't this the same guy that has Tony Gonzalez on his "all pro" tight end list and no Gronkowski?

 

[RobertWeathers]

King's been putting a bit too much Bailey's in his mocha latte from Starbucks.

His personnel assesments of NFL talent are meaningless.

Re: Peter King on WEEI:Talib not a great corner

IMO this trade is not simply a question of individual talent added. It's a tipping point situation: adding that one extra press-style CB should allow schematic changes to make the whole defense more aggressive.

So if Talib is merely "pretty good," his IMPACT could well be "great."

 

[DefenseRules]

Talib only has to be better than Arrington and Moore as far as I am concerned. He doesn't need to be "Great".

 

[TinhWoodhead]

I think Stephen King knows more about football than peter king.

 

[Rob0729]

I still don't get why the media gives PFF so much credit and publicity. It only shows their lack of football intelligence to informed fans.

I tend to think that if it was Revis with the police jacket 3 inches think he would have fetched a 2nd or 1st rounder (salary considerations notwithstanding)

King is a paid to mention pff as often as possible.
