He does have more physical talent than Leon. I don't even think that Junc would argue that. He is far away from being the player that Leon is but he has more physical talent every day of the week.
that all remains to be seen... Leon made the team as a rook... and played and made a contribution... McKnight will be lucky to play a down as Jet... he's a vagine...
Something tells me that wouldn't have been the case, leon wouldn't have acted the way McKnight did, he didn 't fail his conditioning test and he actually showed flashes in preseason. Other than being short and quick the two have nothing in common.
How is it "the stupidest comment all day" saying that Joe McKnight was more talented than Leon Washington coming out of college?
Training camp struggles in their rookie season would be the common thread between them. Who knows they might have even edited their hours of footage down to 30 seconds of Leon looking like an ass.
Leon showed us flashes, McKnight showed us nothing. Leon also made an impact beginning in week 3, it's coming on week 4 and Mcknight isn't close to even being activated.
Rookie Leon might have struggled a bit more to get some playing time with our current running back core. Maybe we should dig a little deeper...
It does help that Leon was a 24 year old rookie, while Joe McKnight is a 22 year old rookie. Let this project develop before you label him.
If McKnight showed us anything he'd be active and getting a few touches by now. Rookie leon would be getting tocuhes by now, put McKnight on our '06 team and he'd still be inactive.
22 is normal age to be out of college, it's not like he's 20. Leon only had 22 more carries in college and McKnight played for a much better program. I'm not labeling him a bust yet, I'm just disturbed by his lack of progress all summer which included failing a simple conditioning test.
I'm guessing you are not part of the NY Jets coaching staff. This means that your only evidence in McKnight's "lack of progress" is a couple of off season articles and an edited TV show?
