POLL: DK...Love Him or Hate Him?

[AROS]

Since it's the dog days of the Silly Season, let's go for it. What say ye?

 

[fenderbender123]

Hate is such a strong word. So is love.

Let's just say I like him...as a friend.

 

[Jerhawk]

I hate his little anger outbursts that cost the team yardage and makes him look like a moron, but I don't hate the guy. He's a great player and seems like a genuine dude off the field.

He just needs to really work on checking his emotions so it doesn't hurt the team.

Therefore, I chose option 3

But he would totally attend a 45 plus minute meeting with you. AND he would poop at the office.

Enlighten us. When has it cost the team a game. Even once?

I said yardage, not the game.

Are you condoning him being the highest fined player in the league by a wide margin? Are you okay with the personal fouls that back the offense up 15?
Some of his antics, like shoving guys after the play, is unnacceptable and I hate that part of his game. And I'm not alone on that.

How can you hate DK Metcalf?

He's a physical specimen the likes of which has not been seen since Megatron. He's got Tyreek Hill's long speed in a body rivaling the mass of Kam Chancellor.

His production and role are similar to that of the late Vincent Jackson who we all pined for, but he's significantly rarer.

Yes, he's not great at highpointing the ball. No, his hands aren't perfect. Yes, he can be too emotional.

On the flip side, yes, he stretches the field. Yes, he is one of the fastest players in the NFL. No, he will not take the defenses shit. Yes, he will grip a linebacker by the facemask and toss him. Personally, I like that. I like having the bigger, faster, and stronger player in any matchup the defense could throw at him.

Plus, in fairness, DK Metcalf has drawn several personal flag calls in our favor. Just because he's imposing and scary.

DK Metcalf is an exercise in accepting the bad with the irreplaceable. I bet on unique talents, and really, DK isn't that bad. He is not the type of diva we think he is. We haven't had one of those types in a while.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Hey Jer, you see him as you do and I see him as I do. He's not even close to the problem that many make him out to be.
This is the NFL, we don't need a bunch of Choir boys.

 

[GemCity]

Love DK man. He’s an incredible talent and a genuinely good dude.

I wish we had more like him.

I never got the physical specimen argument myself. It's not a bodybuilding competition, it's football.

Physical specimen isn't just mass, it's the fact that his arms are 1.5 inches longer than Megatron's, he's 6'3", he cannot be pressed well, he cannot be jammed well, he's hard to tackle, he's hard to throw off his route, and despite all of that mass advantage he's got, he's still running a 4.3 flat.

Can I call Julian Edelman a specimen?

 

[toffee]

DK is an alum, and I love me some Rebels.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

For the record, does he drive me crazy sometimes? Absolutely.
But that's iiiiiit.

 

[Maelstrom787]

Can I call Julian Edelman a specimen?

It might be a little weird in most regards, but Edelman definitely had particularly special feet. His agility times were nuts and it showed up on his tape.

Straight up, who would you take Edelman or DK?

 

[pittpnthrs]

Neither

Awesome talent that I believe can even be improved on. Good hands, not great. Antics and temper get in the way sometimes, but his output outweighs that. I'm happy he's on the team.

 

[SEAHAWKSTER77]

DK is one of the only dogs who has any fight in him on this team , you don’t just give that away , plus he’s a beast on the field , always comes up big when we need him most…so everyone has to keeps feelings out of this , its war !
So that means if he’s gotta deliver a few wwe back to belly suplexes then so be it !

 

[hgwellz12]

I really like DK. I voted love because my 8 year old would be upset with anything less.

 

[Hipflexor]

Can’t trust anyone who doesn’t like DK
