The Case For DeVante Parker

[bigchiefbc]

I watched pretty much all of the same tape when I was doing my research back in March/April and I largely agree with your analysis of both Parker and White, and I publicly stated on here that Parker was my 1.03, which became quite an unpopular opinion after White's combine. I was ecstatic to get him at 1.05 in the DLF PL.

With all that said, you are definitely coloring your analysis a bit here, by describing some of Parker's bad plays as great D plays, and conversely saying White's good plays are because of bad D. It just makes it look unbalanced and not as persuasive as it could be. But all that aside, thanks for the in-depth notes, I wish more people did this more often with college tape.

Thanks everyone for the feedback. BigChief I just call every play how I see it.

Just to clarify I never said I thought he had a poor work ethic, but I do think he'll need a good one in order to work on all the problems I listed. The fact that the Browns passed on him because they didn't think he was tough enough leads me to believe he'll be just fine as the Browns are wrong about everything.

"They [The Browns] passed on him for a reason at No. 12 overall: they felt he wasn't tough enough and didn't love the game enough."

Also I heard the Rams really wanted him but ultimately Jeff Fisher opted for Gurley and to pound the ball. I trust Fisher WAY more than every single guy in the Browns

Thank you for stating what every single person realizes about this analysis but will not speak up about because they don't want to discourage this kind of film study.

I agree with a lot of the analysis but it clearly has a pro-parker spin.

Still valuable information, Darkness is kind of like the Fox News of scouts. Solid work but there is a heavy agenda behind the analysis.

I love it when some people tell other people why they act the way they do. Who is supposed to be Fox News here, exactly?

[Dynasty DeLorean]

I watch Parker's tape ---> I like what I see ---> I explain what I see and why I like it ---> I am like Fox News

You caught me red handed, my secret agenda has been discovered. I've recently sunk my life savings into DeVante Parker Fantex stock. His stock price fell after having his second foot surgery, and I became desperate. I've come to the internets to drive up his value via positive spin #hottakes. And I would have gotten away with it too if it weren't for you meddling kids!!!

You mean he's like the MSNBC of scouts

Parker will have a better NFL career than White, bank on it.

I'm not poking fun -- I'd like to see this level analysis from someone who disagrees with him.

I like your style Darkness, it's just dirt of your shoulders. You got 99 problems and he won't be one. Those that mind don't matter and those that matter don't mind. Sorry, I just ran out of cheesy sayings.

The only thing that can hold Parker back from being a star in the NFL is his health, desire, and work ethic.

I jinxed it.

Actually you nailed it and were right about him having a better career than White.(so far) Hopefully he's working on that work ethic this year.

[Servo]

Gotta feel that this is his last chance.

Gotta feel that this is his last chance.

He'll probably get other chances, but this will be the last one handed to him. He'll have to actually earn the other ones.

I mean, White has played 5 games in three seasons. We still don't even know what he can really do in the NFL.
