Be careful, saying anything good about Adams will get blasted around here. I hope you're right, we need him.
I haven't been inpressed with how we've utilized him or how he's played when weighed against the backdrop of what we gave up for him and I can't imagine he's better after the injuries he's had. BUT I hope you're right because if they keep him at 18 million he has to.Adams is the comeback player of the year next season, mark my words.
"Mark my words" Why not? What is the consequence for being wrong?Adams is the comeback player of the year next season, mark my words.
Very convincing argument. You have changed our collective minds.Feel better?
He’s a freak when healthyAdams is the comeback player of the year next season, mark my words.
Oh yes. My fandom is at stake here. By the way, did you look at those interception numbers? That is what safeties do. Right? Take the ball away?Solid. You still didn't answer the question, do you feel better blasting Adams? Nobody is saying the guy isn't injury prone. But to claim he basically sucks says all I need to know.
How very 12 of you.
I can't find where you pointed that out, can you refresh me?So you are just going to ignore the fact that the passing offense was not the problem last season scoring as pointed out in my question to you?
We can agree to disagree. He's a hell of a football player.Oh yes. My fandom is at stake here. By the way, did you look at those interception numbers? That is what safeties do. Right? Take the ball away?
Give me the link to the YouTube highlight reel that shows something other than blindside blitzes. Gee I wonder how long it will be before that is well scouted and countered into oblivion.
You are the optimist. Largent is the pessimist. History says he’s probably right, but every human being is unique, and maybe Adams can be the exception and stage an amazing comeback.Adams is the comeback player of the year next season, mark my words.

I would place a $5,000.00 bet today that your declaration will be proven wrong. Further, he is very deserving of the "whipping boy" moniker.
He couldn't intercept a football unless it lodged into his facemask. The worst hands for a starting safety I have ever seen. I have never looked up his career interception numbers. Someone do us a favor and look that up for us. Let's do a relative comparison to other safeties around the league. Adams is frequently out of position in coverage. To the point to where the coordinators have basically given up on using him that way. Instead, he has become a one-dimensional blind side blitzer.
He is a "run and chase" guy. He isn't a "point of attack" guy. He is basically useless "in the box" on running downs. In other words, and unlike Kam, you can run AT him because he can't hold up against pulling guards and he can't shed blocks. He makes a living by chasing people down and the league is chock full of those type of "run and pursue" players. They are a dime a dozen.
Hence, a player that is best utilized as a pass rusher as well as a "poor man's" weakside pursuit linebacker. A very limited skill set. He doesn't have the girth of a Kam Chancellor and opposing offensive coordinators will always give the QB the "kill" command to change the current play to instead run the ball directly AT him. Adams just doesn't have enough sand in the bucket to be a line of scrimmage dude. A glorified, undersized weak side linebacker (a default position because he absolutely sucks in coverage) and quite possibly the worst trade in the Pete Carrol era.

Don't attribute the rest of that crap to me. I'm talking about Adams here. Find the appropriate people about the other players. DK and Tyler are two of the most productive players on the team and earn every penny of their contract. Don't try the "guilt by association" crap with me. I was rather clear. Adams sucks. Not DK and Tyler.Exactly. Somehow, Jamal Adams sucks
Sure have heard it all this year. DK is a "cancer" and a "diva"
Tyler is "soft"
Adams sucks
This team has several issues, but to blast a dude because he's injured? Fairly childish
Don't confuse debate, backed up by argument as "hostility". There is a difference. Many people that are not conditioned to proper debate will often confuse a logic-based argument with hostility. Especially if they cannot provide a counter argument. Especially if it becomes apparent that they are losing the debate. Then they start the self-perceived victimization act. It always starts with "you are being hostile".Wow. Why the hostility?
