Thoughts on Eric Ebron.........

[RobBase]

Now we're debating dropped passes vs. passes guys got their hands on, but couldn't pull in.

But don't twist stats, guys!!

 

[RobBase]

There will be now. On this board anyway.

Elite luxury pick.

Jim Caldwell's 100-catch rule leads to dropless opener for Detroit Lions | MLive.com


"In the season-opening win over the New York Giants, the Lions didn't drop a single pass."


"The Lions are one of 12 teams that didn't drop pass in Week 1."


I guess someone should probably tell the NFL that they don't know how to keep track of their own official stats, then?


I feel like there's a good joke to be made about a river in Africa here...

This is why you're the Ultimate Homerrior. Guess what else Ebron has 0 of? NFL catches. You find the silver and blue lining in everything.

Then I saw the Congo, Creeping through the black.
Cutting through the forest, with a golden track.

Apparently those who set the NFL rules and statistics are all huge rainbow-riding Lions homers...

 

[RobBase]

Apparently.

Let's see. Ebron has managed to garner some targets for his stat sheet. Maybe if he could get a catch on that stat sheet, it would help.

You have to admit, he isn't exactly making it easy to gloss this turd of a pick over.

It'll be interesting to see how the board blows up when Caldwell goes with Broyles instead of Ebron some week.

Interesting indeed.

Do it now. Yes, please, do it now.

Do it now. Yes, please, do it now.

Id laugh my ass off if DoubleE's a healthy scratch on Sunday.

Boy oh boy, I didn't even finish reading all the posts because I couldn't wait to respond to some of this stuff. Ok....are we really sitting here discussing Ebron's production after one damn game as if one game tells all we need to know about how good the guy is? Are we really discussing how athletic he is after watching and hearing NFL professionals say it over and over again? Im sorry but people are acting a little dumb over Ebron and its not really fair for fans to expect the world out of him immediately. Nobody liked Pettigrew and said Fuaria wasnt good enough but suddenly, they are good enough and Ebron is a luxury pick.

That said, I'm going to have a little fun with this. Every week, I will post updates of everyone's favorite rookie and track the progress for the entire season. Its only fair to bash other rookies too if they dont put up tremendous numbers.

Now Broyles is a fan favorite over Ebron after not doing anything to help the team win in 2 years? Lol.
And I bet Broyles wont start over Ebron, it would be Fuller.

Dennard was inactive last Sunday due to an injury. What a fuckin bum. Bust!!! Looks like Glass Joe all over again.

Some people just wanna trash the Lions and their players any chance they get, so they let facts get in the way of their opinion. And they can't even admit they were wrong, they just keep making asinine posts.

C'mon now, man- obviously all those professionals are clearly just Lions homers riding the kool aid and cornbread rainbow. Why else would they say a guy with such great athleticism is a great athlete?

But... but... but if other rookies struggle that doesn't support the hypothesis that Mayhew is by far the worst GM in the league! He's the only GM who ever drafts any players who don't become All-Pros every year. Get with the program here Lionstop.
