General concensus is he plagiarized alot of his early work directly off of some of the smartest posters on this forum. IMO you saw it alot in his early days. The biggest example though is taking Waldos pass rusher metrics which he still uses today. He did give credit initially but he stopped doing that years ago. Waldo might have been the best poster on this entire site. He was certainly one of the brightest. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was young when he did it but he's doubled down tenfold since then and acts like it's his ****. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But again, that is NOT the worst part. He took the best asset a sports message board has ever had just to be cool on Twitter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HighCalebR Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 thinking back on that era.. You could really learn some football here between some of the old heads. At least theres still the expert level **** posting, which is thoroughly enjoyable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aware of his RAS and SPARQ scores, was interested in his actual Waldo ranking. Not interested to hear that because his RAS is great then surely he is awesome with every other ranking system. Was he viewed as a high risk bust based on Waldo? That is the question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
