James Conner

Married at 19? Hell no.

 

I said hall of Famers AND analysts. Even dumb as someone like skip bayless is he at least has been nominated for sports emmy's, won several journalists and writer awards, etc.. You all here have ZERO on your resumes to argue with anyone that is in the sports business. Howie roseman for example never played but he has on his resume of being the gm of a sb team. Are any of you who didnt play sb winning gms? Hell no. You have nothing at all to show for on your resumes sports wise that compares to what ANY OF THEM have on their resumes especially hall pf fame players.

 

He was signed to training camp by two NFL teams. That's much more than anything anyone here ever did. He isnt some normal guy who's just a fan of a certain team trying to act like he knows more than people with things on their resume. I said what have anyone of you done or have period on your resume. At least the guys in sports like a Howie roseman who havent played have things on their resume. None of you here having anything your resume to disputed with what any hall of Famer, hall of famers and players who are analysts(since you think I didnt mean the people who didnt play o. TV by analysts that's why I said hall Famers AND ANALYSTS), analysts, former coaches, and people with awards and credible criteria dealing with sports on their resume. If anyone here knew better than them they'd be getting paid to display their expertise. Stephen a smith never played. He said leveon shoud get paid. So did max kellerman. So did nick wright and he even went so far as to say conner is a below average nfl starter.... I can go on.

 

His coach loved him.

 

Wow, 19 and you have the wisdom of the ages above and beyond all of the 20, 30, 40, 50, 60 something members here.

 

Hmm.....


Still do not understand why some still doubt Conner's abilities. He can play without question; his talent only being scratched at the surface.


Keep in mind that, when he was drafted back in 2013, the "Eddie Lacy vs. Le'Veon Bell" was a real hot button topic among Steelers fans. Also keep in mind that, after the conclusion of the 2013 NFL Season, many among SteelersNation thought that Bell was inferior to Lacy and Colbert had made a mistake. Since then, the aspects have been different; Bell still being in the league (somewhat) and Lacy being unemployed all together.


Before judgement is passed, let us give Conner the benefit of the doubt. He has done quite good given his circumstances; his "rookie season" showcasing thus far no less.



While it still is too early to call him a great back, from what I have seen, I have little to no reason to believe that James Conner can become greater than what he is currently. Time will tell for certain but he is a self improvement type of person. Those people, those with talent no less, consistently push themselves towards greater heights. As such, to say this is the best he will be is beyond short sighted.

 

Be careful he plays college ball.

 

Please don’t.

 

If that's all it takes, we should all be listening to Ed O'Neil, "Suge" Knight and Lon Sherriff!

 

It's easy to say someone should get paid when it's not YOUR money!

 

Great, 6 more pages of on this thread.....

 

Was this analyst ever signed to a practice squad? Is he HOF caliber? Where can I see his resume?

 

Weathermen are analysts and experts in their field....I think they've been wrong once or twice...

 

It won’t matter. He’ll just move the target.

 

i'm not, i'm just disputing you.

 

30 was a good time for me

 

I will say that I think Ben is likely right. Bell is a superior back to Conner, and anyone saying otherwise at this stage is delusional. But I think Conner might be a better fit for Pittsburgh.

 

WOW, I like this expert.... he agrees with me.

My resume includes:
Youth-HS soccer coach 2001-2012
Multiple years as an amateur athlete in multiple sports
1st round draft pick and MVP of my community Turkey Bowl from 2002-2008
Message Board Amateur Analyst 1997-present

 

You really have no idea what you are talking about here. At first I found it mildly irritating. Now I'm starting see the humor in it.

 

Actually, I meant the same thing all along and you failed to understand what you were reading.

 

You don't know everybody's resume here. You really should stop talking as if you do.

And clearly, you can't support your own arguments with facts and logic. That...is why you fail.

Oh, and that below average NFL starter is currently fifth in the league in rushing. That's the type of expert you want to latch on to?
