Old X threads

[Jssanto]

I do not mean this to be political or judicial in any way. Not my style.
Refresh my memory.
Did we not have multiple tweets, threads, etc about how bad X was in his first 1-3 years?
Now, X is a super star, Igby no good, etc.
Maybe all I am doing is diluting training camp comments?

I am one of those who questioned the drafting of Iggy in the first round. Perhaps he will eventually turn into a decent CB in the NFL but right now he is not ready to take over for Howard if they do end up trading Howard.

As far as comments regarding Howard being bad during his first three years is concerned, I really don’t remember reading comments about him being bad. As a rookie he didn’t start or play much as he was adjusting to the NFL. In his second year he was injured off and on and played okay but certainly wasn’t the player he has become.

In his third year he had 7 ints and most all of the comments from what I remember raved about his play, especially over the latter part of that season.

The issue with Iggy as far as I am concerned is he was a first round draft pick and to me first round draft picks are players who should be able to come in and contribute immediately. What makes it even worse IMO is the Dolphins drafted him with the Steelers pick. Therefore they ended up trading away an all pro player for a player who still doesn’t appear ready to contribute and certainly isn’t ready to take over Howard’s position if Howard is traded.

I am rooting for Iggy and since he is young and still developing as a CB, there is still hope he will develop into a solid player. I certainly haven’t given up on him but I would like to see more from him than I have seen so far. Hopefully getting to play pre season games will help his confidence and his ability to better adjust to playing CB in the NFL.

Maybe your thinking of another player? X barely played as a rookie was injured came back for the playoffs and made an INT in the playoffs. Came into year 2 and had 4 ints, by year 3 he was second team all pro with 7 ints. So I mean maybe you could say year 1 he was injured, but for a rookie to make a big int in a playoff game is still strong and then he improved continuously every year.

Now bringing this back to Igbo, it’s still too early to tell but if he doesn’t start show improvement this year it would be mildly concerning. Nik Needham Is a better barometer was awful In preseason as a rookie got better throughout the season, last year was solid, and so far this year he’s had a great camp.

I stand corrected. So instead of trading an all pro player for him , they traded away one of the best left tackles in the NFL for him. Either way, he needs to
develop into a top quality player over the next two years to justify his first round selection. I just hope he does.
