Welcome Back

[LKP]

Drayton Florence. We missed you

Had a good year with Carolina last year. Of course had troubles in Detroit in 2012. Let's hope it was coaching.

 

[dubbsco]

Who??? The guy who's been on like 25 different teams and is 33 years old??

No one missed him.

 

[LKP]

19th best cover corner in the NFL last year per PFF. Vet presence

 

[dubbsco]

Don't even try and play this game to convince us he's a good CB. He's 33, and he's been cut and released over and over again in the last 5 years.

He started 5 games for Carolina. This doesn't move the needle at all.

He played 600 snaps for Carolina. +7.6 coverage. Same as Joe Haden.

The games he didn't start he played between 20-50 snaps.

 

[dubbsco]

Please don't compare Drayton Florence to Joe Haden. Just stop.

He's a Lion now. His abilities go up a few notches immediately.

 

[dubbsco]

Joe Haden has already done more in his short career than Florence has done his entire time in the league.

lollololol.

someone start a thread of LKP call outs for this year. Last years list was classic and almost everything he said was disproven by week 1. This year is:

Ebron is a matchup nightmare...he'll get 4 tds
Waddle is healthy so we can run the ball now
Jason Jones is back so we'll get more sacks eventhough hes never had more than 5.
Drayton Florence is Joe Haden

I didn't. PFF did. They said they were the same in 2013.

Sacks are more scheme and Ansah healthy, Taylor in year 2. Jones I'm not counting on for more than 2 sacks.

Matchup nightmare is more than TDs.

PFF said he was in 2013. Good insurance policy.

Waddle is a good run blocker. That is a fact.

Hey LKP, so since Florence will NOT start for the Lions, and he's on par with Joe Haden, does that mean Haden would not start for the Lions?

 

[sggatecl]

I didn't. PFF did. They said they were the same in 2013.

Just goes to show how shitty your bible is. You cited it, you typed it, you believe it.

Both did better than Mathis.

It's based on game tape. Yes I do.

You can say he sucks all you want. You have nothing to back that up from 2013.

 

[dubbsco]

So YOU have watched "game tape" on Drayton Florence? Somehow I find that incredibly hard to believe. And if you had, you must have been looking at it backwards. And PS, there is no conceivable way to watch Carolina gametape in the 30 seconds that I called you out after you posted this. How in the hell would you even have "Carolina gametape?"

In no universe does Drayton Florence compare to Joe Haden. The fact that you referenced PFF means you believe it, if you didn't you wouldn't reference it.

I'm sorry man, you can't believe this. We are being trolled. Don't act like Drayton Florence is going to be a benefit to the Lions. He's been cut repeatedly over the past half decade. No one wants him. He's 33. If he started opposite Mathis, they would together be eligible for an AARP card.

 

[sggatecl]

According to your bible, Florence wasn't even a top 10 free agent at his position. Guess Haden wouldn't have been top 10 if he was a free agent.

I think signing Florence was a good move, definitely can't hurt. But cut the troll bullshit and comparing him to Haden. That's too obvious even for you.

PFF watched the game tape. Not me.

They ranked Florence 19th. You guys don't put together logic very well and come up wit this wild ass assumptions about Haden. Florence had a good year. Guys with lower rankings per PFF in 2013 were put in the top 10. Various factors age, skillset and production (winning their matchups). Florence produced like Haden in matchup wins.

5 guys in that list ranked ahead of him in 2013 as well. Brown, Hall, Talib, Tillman (due to injury), Shields and Hall got the nod for other factors. Age, and skillset and which WRs they faced.

Florence was junk in 2011 and up and down in 2012. That's probably why he didn't make the FA list cut on top of his age. But he produced in 2013. Just like Mathis. Don't give a crap about their past if both Mathis and Florence produce in 2014. And if you are looking at the past, 2013 is the best indicator however you have to look at what changed for the player too. Schemes, other players to help them (Detroit Dline for instance)
