I just wanted to point out that you all keep talking about it like the accusation was on Parsons when it wasn’t. It was on another team mate. There was never any accusations made like this on Parsons.
He allegedly choked a teammate.
This accusation was made against Parsons. It was Humphries excuse as to why he pulled a knife on Parsons, Barber and others. However all whitenesses present claimed Parsons, Barber and anyone else involved did not choke or bully him. Like he claimed.
There’s a pattern here. You have one guy (Humphries) making a lot of accusations towards other teammates and coaches. Humphries stories have routinely changed. Everyone involved and every single whiteness has denied every accusation that Humphries has made. There’s been multiple investigations into his claims and no one has been able to collaborate his story. No one else has come forward to make any similar claims either.
Not that I don’t like the player but I feel like taking a shortish speed receiver at 7 is a bit of a reach especially with all the talent and trade down possibilities potentially available so Waddle would be a bit of a disappointment. No interest in another corner in the top 10 either.
Well if all that bothered MCD why did he take the time to meet twice with the guy, you don’t meet twice with a guy that is automatically off your board. He sure hasn’t meet twice with everyone.
This can be explained by the fact we SHOULD be meeting with him a lot. If we’re gonna spend such a high value pick on a guy with any character concerns, we better be doing everything we can to find out as much as possible.
Id feel better about Waddle if he had been able to run the 40 at Pro day. His biggest asset is his speed. What if his foot injury affects his speed and explosion long term? I know, I’m sure it’s fine, but it would be reassuring to have seen it on display
Let me preface by saying I don’t want Trey Lance. I find it surprising that I have not seen anything comparing the two, but how is he seen in comparison to Carson Wentz? As an addendum, I don’t want Wentz either.
I think Wentz is the better overall package, and is a more natural passer of the football. When I watch Lance to me I’m seeing a running QB who can throw a football. And I make the distinction between a thrower of the football vs a passer of the football. He came across like that in the game film, and then when he was missing receivers running against air in shorts and a t-shirt it was one of those moments where I said “yeah, that makes sense.”
To me he’s the kind of kid that you grab on day 2 and you feel great about because you’ve got a backup who can win football games or a short term starter who can win football games. But I’m just not seeing a guy you want to invest a 1st round pick in and say “this is our guy.”
