keys to precise route...

dfabri1:

Since you’re fond of going slow (1/2 speed) we’ll go through this again.

To reiterate, why would one want to run better routes, most likely to be a better receiver/player. So what is really important? What question really needs to be answered?

Is route running the most central skill to being a receiver? let’s look at the top receivers coming into the draft http://www.sportingnews.com/experts/dan-pompei/20050320.html
now this guys steals most of his information based on what Gil Brandt writes, so it’s fairly reliable, so how many great route runners in that group? 0 why is that? the personnel development people in the NFL don’t seem to mind. So if the NFL is the mountain top then how important is running ‘crisp routes’ in getting you there? So how important is running routes at 1/2 and 3/4 speed at getting you there, there being the mountain top of course? How many great route runners in the past five years coming into the league? 10 years? 15 years? It’s been a long time if you have watched alot of film you would know that. And please don’t tell me Jerry Rice was a great route runner, he was so many other amazing things that was not one of them and simply because he didn’t have to be, not that he couldn’t have been. You have to go back a long time probably film of Paul Warfield and Charlie Taylor to find routes that look like the way they were drawn up, crisp as it has been said.

Speedkills, relax. No one is saying anyone isn’t a good coach. Most of the people on the site know a great deal. Sure frit does as well, but does that mean he isn’t advising something that may not be a great deal of help to geneticfreak? And while you are a good friend to come to his rescue, you’d be a better friend is you told him when he may be a bit off. If the site is for learning then people need to be a little quicker to realize what they don’t know as well as what they do. While it may be thrilling to be an expert, it takes a long time and a lot of effort to be an expert. So no one can be an expert in everything, there are always people who know better ways to do things. Be open enough to recognize them, not closed because someone is relatively new to the forum.

Spelling correctly = attention to detail. Hit the damn spell check.

You have a total of 9 posts on this site and now 2 of them are directly insulting to members here. Congrats. And you’re telling me to relax? I guess you can consider yourself lucky that rep power bottoms out at ‘0’. Relax, right… It’s a lonely world when you can’t communicate freely or laugh at yourself every once in a while. Relax… right. I don’t even understand what this is accomplishing at this point. I didn’t even choose sides, I just said that I didn’t think your criticism was fair. I thought both posts were insightful and could help. I’m bored with internet e-gos.

I apologize if it seems like I ripped anyone, i just get sick of seeing threads get hijacked for what seems like a small problem except for the fact that someone thinks that everyone is against them. I’ve given everyone props for their insights on this thread, especially dfabri1 even though he thinks all i’m capable of is playing catch with frit17.

I wasnt referring to you or frit.

Generally this forum is the best cause everyone is here to help each other and respects what the other has to say. I can spend hours reading the knowledge here, its awesome.
