Ike,
Now be honest, have you ever called a player stupid? Yes or No? I'm sure you have, "because that was a stupid play. " And I'm 98% sure you wont even answer that question because if you do you entire racial BS call goes away, doesn't it?
This season D Johnson for example didn't field a punt and cost us yards. Posters spoke up. Or better yet Shamrko Thomas. Remember him? I hated that pick, we gave up third round pick to obtain him. ( Yeah outcoached again on that one. ), Well guess what Mr. Kelly our head coach, Mike Tomlin said he didn't have it above the neck. Re-read that twice, and many here chuckled at it. Does that make them all racists?
On Lamar Jackson, I'll stand by he's stupid. When you asked why, I told you he scored the low on the wonderlic, ( Historically low for a QB ) , can barley speak, and did something stupid by questioning his coaching staff. ALL FACTs. If you ever seen sample wonderlic questions, many are jokes.
This guy is Raven, you should hope he tanks. When the Ravens made Flacco the highest paid player in football I cheered. I hope they do the same for Jackson!
Where to begin.....you can try to flip the dialogue to make you the victim in this discussion, but the only fact that’s pertinent is YOU made the statement about a player’s intelligence based on their verbal cues. You and you alone have continually voiced a person’s communicative ability dictates what his intelligence is. That is asinine, not to mention in itself an idiotic platform.
Of course I’ve called a player stupid, but for their actions, not their intelligence. Burfict and PacMan Jones were stupid on various actions on the field. Eric Greene and Bam Morris I thought they did stupid things off the field that impacted their careers. It doesn’t mean I thought they lack football intelligence. They were in the NFL, the top of the professional food chain, so that shows they had some acumen. I’m 98% sure you will do something stupid on this board again as well. Doesn’t mean you lack intelligence? You have some, obviously. As to what level, we can only surmise purely based on your timid repartee on posts.
Again you can stand by your opinion of Jackson. No issue there. However, when you claim your “facts” are from his Wonderlic score, that he can “barely speak”, and questioned his coaching staff, your intelligence on football matters, not withstanding, shows ineptitude.
First, the Wonderlic isn’t a true measurement of intelligence. It provides baseline interpretation of a person’s problem solving abilities and situational cognizance. It also is dependent on participant incentiveness . It can be used in the regular working world for occupational effectiveness assessment of prospective employees. The NFL player is different, and if you can’t delineate the difference then there is no point discussing any further.
“Barely speak”. Again what are you implying? Do you have trouble understanding him due to his enunciation of words, his speech dialect or lack of colloquialism by use of informal slang? All of these are not due to lack of intelligence, but rather cultural intermediaries. Do you have the same problem with country folks and their slang? What about Henry Kissinger? Sure English was his second language, but he had a thick accent even after being in the US for several decades.
Finally, questioning his own coaching staff. Really? You are using this to quantify a players intelligence. Well then you better chalk up a whole slew of players, many of them HOF’s, as intellectually stupid. Sure, challenging a coach’s decision process probably not ideally welcomed, but it doesn’t mean the individual isn’t smart. If fact, I’d say a coach who doesn’t listen to his QB about any problem he may have is closing the line of communication for success.
You said you were 98% sure I wouldn’t answer your question. Well like usual you are wrong again. Plus, the racial clarity of your comments still hasn’t been answered by you. Chances are you won’t answer it either. But play the victim card again. See how that works again. Or maybe try giving us a link to where you have Jackson’s official IQ so as to prove the intelligence level you think he has.
Until then you are still OutCoached and owned.
