A dime a dozen? Ok
From the article:A dime a dozen? Ok
What article? Who wrote it, and what is their background, articles are a dime a dozen more then fast big WR's that can tilt the field, half have hands of stone, half can't run a route correctly, 75 percent can't block effectively, Lockett, JSN, fall into that category, what made Kearse, and DK worth more, they can F in block their asses off which helps the run game. NOBODY credits this aspect of their game, I never hear about how well he blocks, just he is a cancer.From the article:
I think DK Metcalf is a phenomenal talent and a joy to watch. But he plays a position that is replenished seemingly every season in the draft – wide receivers are everywhere! And it would help them go after the positions where its harder to find top talent and which would arguably help them win more games.
Wide receivers are everywhere, so yes, a dime a dozen.
You are the DK of .net my friend.He cleaned things up long ago. Many just have decided not to notice it. You guys just want to cling on the DK is a Cancer thing. When he's not even close to that.
The article was written by Mike Salk, a.k.a. Brock and Salk. It's in this thread's OP if you want to check it out.What article?

DK is a devastating blocker, in fact he doesn't disengage till the whistle blows and will pancake guys, part of what gets him in trouble, he's a linebacker in a WR's shell. PFF is smoking crack on this one.The article was written by Mike Salk, a.k.a. Brock and Salk. It's in this thread's OP if you want to check it out.
Metcalf is a horrible blocker. His PFF run blocking graded out at 53.3, 62nd amongst WR's. Receivers half his size have a better blocking grade than he does. He doesn't even have a pass blocking grade, so please, don't blow smoke at me about Metcalf's blocking. He sucks.
On the other hand, Jake Bobo, a UDFA, has an excellent run blocking grade at 77.6, 2nd best amongst wide receivers. Who's #1 in that department? Puka Nacua, a 5th round pick and the 4th leading WR by receiving yards. So go ahead and beat your drum about wide receivers and their blocking. You're proving my case.
So I stand by what I said: Good wide receivers are a dime a dozen.
I'll hang my hat on Salk before I will you or anyone else in this forum. At least on this subject, his opinion aligns with mine.If you think Mike Salk is someone who can hang your hat on, not sure what you're thinking. But do you. You have a right to your opinion. You've been baggin' on DK since he's been here.
A devasting blocker? You've got to be kidding me. He acts like he thinks it's not his job.DK is a devastating blocker, in fact he doesn't disengage till the whistle blows and will pancake guys, part of what gets him in trouble, he's a linebacker in a WR's shell. PFF is smoking crack on this one.
Didn't you indicate in another thread that you thought that it would be a good idea if we followed the Chiefs' blueprint when you sarcastically said "Yeah, why would someone want to follow a team that has won 3 of the last 5 Superb Owls?"Dear God man, did he pee in your cheerios or something? Get over your DK hate at some point. You've been bitching about this guy the entire time he's been here. We get it. You're starting to catch up to Fade with his constant Pete blasting.
And F PFF, sincerely.
He may be starting to mature, but he still needs the right mentoring to truely become what he should which in my opinion should be a red zone target, possession WR, that is an absolute nightmare while setting the edge in the run game. I love the dawg in DK, wish we had more on the team, and expect MM & JS to look for such, DK just needs to wind it down a bit and not have to try and get physical after the play and cause us dumb penalties. If he can just clean that portion of his game he could be a key cog to our Offense imo?He cleaned things up long ago. Many just have decided not to notice it.
