Payton Turner Could be Elite (1 Viewer)

Is he healthy?… No?


…ok, well then, I could be “elite” also if I get the chance….

U are always a ray of sunshine around here.

The best ability is availability.

I laugh at people who say this because Ruiz was available every game last season.

Payton Turner is Schrödinger's DE. Until he gets on the field, he is both elite and a bust.

Got to get on the field first...

If we can keep them healthy and get a DT to eat blocks ala Gilbert Brown I like the oline post Cam J. Grabted we still keep David O

You mean like if you had a time machine?

You still would have basically no chance, but you'd need a time machine at the very least to have a shot.

Potential means you haven’t done it yet. What’s funny is that people didn’t think that Cam Jordan had elite upside. But he stayed healthy and worked hard enough to arguably become the best DE in franchise history and a borderline HOFer. You can’t improve when you are sidelined. Availability is the single most important factor that determines if a player pans out. It’s not just physical…it’s also mental. He had trouble staying healthy in college as well. Not a good start at all.

I did….I was absolutely thrilled when we drafted him at 24….I can’t remember who said it but one of the guys (it may have been Baldy) said he thought Jordan was a top 10 pick type of talent….no idea about Turner but if he can stay healthy he will make an impact IMO…we will see….

Payton Turner could be elite...Davenport will be elite.

Its good to have both

Hadn't seen anyone post this recent video. Giving our dude some love and us more hope for our former 1st round pick.

He will be, he's got physical traits only 2 other people in the league have had over the last decade or two. his 35inch arms are in line with Aldon Smith and Chandler Jones.

He was top 10 last year in burst off the snap. Jordan was like 15 and Davenport was 40th or so.

I'm looking forward to Turner staying healthy and getting in the DE rotation to spell both Cam And Dav. I could see him making a difference on defense in the run and pass defense. I'd guess he'll end up with 8-10 sacks IMO.

Wow this is one of the best stats I’ve seen in a while. Nice post

I know he got injured and he has to learn how to take care of his body as a professional....but if you're saying you don't see a kid with elite level talent that proved it in the limited time then you're lying to yourself.

Jim Wilks says what's up?

And, my man, Big Charles Grant wants to know where his snack is.

I don’t get too excited about a player having good reps in practice. Sorry. I’m not even ready to call him good. Elite? Comedic gold. Elite at consuming trainer resources? Elite at using up the teams water and electric bill by laying in the tub for over a season. Stay healthy and produce. I don’t have time for fantastical projections of what could be in some far away galaxy when the stars align just right.

How do you guys get such personal animus towards an injured athlete on our favorite team?

I don’t blindly call people elite. That’s ridiculous. I have absolutely nothing person against him
