But there is not a whole lot that you can do for your ligaments, tendons, and bones. We evolved relatively recently from a chimp-like ape. Most likely we weren't much more than about 5'5 and 100 pounds. I don't think there has really been time, or a selection pressure, for stronger connective tissues to compliment the muscle gains from higher calorie diets. They're all high end athletes though. If you get drafted in the NFL you're a high end athlete, even the guys that have a low RAS are still very good athletes. The difference between a 6' 200 guy running a 4.6 and another running a 4.3 will drastically change the RAS but both are doing extreme things human wise.

I think more of it has to do with the mentality of athletes nowadays. I don't think they are more injury prone, they just aren't willing to do what guys in the past did to stay on the field. The amount of painkillers players were taking in the 80s and 90s was insane, they just didn't know any better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the relative part of RAS kind of does get forgotten a lot of the time. The 0-10 scale is basically where in the 99.9th percentile of people these guys land. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the difference between starring in the NFL and making millions and starring on @Norm and @ThatJerkDave's bar league team and getting paid in PBR pitchers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smidgeon Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 Maybe he gets there one day, but right now, he's a number 3 receiver and not a 1. Doubs is a high 2, low 1. Heck, Doubs could be a high 1 possession receiver for all I know, but Watson for sure isn't getting it done. No reverse jinx in this comment. Just observation.

ThatJerkDave Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 You guys and your Christian Watson slander. Give him a QB that throws a catchable ball and he will catch it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man, I was hoping she'd get that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You suck that ball in like the world's most powerful vacuum cleaner. Doubs would have had that one. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PACKRULE Posted November 3, 2023 Share Posted November 3, 2023 So maybe just maybe there were other reasons we waited and went with Watson who isn't a PITA. I mean imagine your primadonna WR in year two is already saying free me cause he didn't get enough balls in a single game..........boo hoo.......Gute may not rule the draft but often there are more to reasons why we don't take some guys. I get it being frustrated is one thing but this is what the GBP front office avoids is guys like this. Thank the maker. George Pickens seems to be getting frustrated, and he's dropping strong social-media clues of it - NBC Sports Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
