Hayne to the NFL???

[Nice Beaver]

Good on the bloke for having a dig.

All the dicks death riding him and armchair experts who say he won't make it can sit on their armchairs and pull their poods to their hearts content.

He's not doing it for money clearly, unlike mercenary pieces of shit like SBW.

Win or lose, he's having a dig and you've got to respect that. The easy option would be to pick up $1 million a year from that shithouse club he played for the past decade.

Hope he makes it and proves all the "experts" wrong.

 

[Saintsified]

People need to stop comparing games I personally don't think NFL is any more difficult to play than NRL. ..just different and whilst there is a lot to learn when crossing over like the Seahawks coach said it's been done but only by very few...Hayne is the games no1 player if anyone stands a chance it could be him.

 

[GongPanther]

A lot of the kids he's up against would not have that experience and can struggle to come to terms with it...

Exactly the opposite.

You obviously underestimate the structures that an NFL player goes through from being a rookie and a sophomore college player to a fully fledged NFL player.

It's not as cut and dried like in our comp where a player can simply play a few games on the u 20's and get a call-up if good enough.

In the NFL,there are no shortcuts to making the grade.It's more physically challenging and more cerebral.

Look at it this way....if this sport was as easy as some NRL fans would like to believe,there would have been a constant stream of NRL players in days gone past that would have made it.

All that Australia has had to offer is a number of kickers that you can count on one hand.

A Brisbane lad that was playing in college football last season,went on the draft and got [eventually]:roll: picked up by the Giants and is only on the roster.He will eventually get his break after a few more years,and onlyif they sign him up when they need to fit players under the cap.

ATM,there is a Fijian player and a NZ player that are playing college football.

I saw the NZ player and he has got what it takes.

Sure,IF Hayne gets on a teams roster and does practice...and IF Hayne puts on a lot more body weight and speed,he might,just might get a look in...if he is lucky.

But I don't see it happening.

You f**king idiot... Did you even watch the whole segment???

He said the chances of him making it to the NFL were "squadouche" meaning "zero" or "Ziltch".

"Squadouche" is the previous producer Tony Reali's term.

Wilbon also said "Squadouche" to a golf question and a basketball question previously in that segment.

Haha.
Hayne's haters are trying desperately to discredit him. Is it jealousy that all they are capable of is keyboard heroics?

11.3 over 100m isn't very impressive.

:lol: it isn't bolt quick at all, but for a football player it is very quick.
He can actually run quicker than 11.3, his athletics background will help him get quicker as well

 

[Joely01]

That 16 year old Tassie kid did it in 10.44 the other week so a 10.7 isn't real impressive from a sprinting perspective

:lol:

People keep talking about the cerebral part of the game, which for certain positions is no doubt correct.

But you can't pretend that over the years there hasn't been some absolute numbskulls not only play NFL but excel at it.

Guys that had almost failed bullshit degrees that there colleges had lined up for them, which required nothing more than primary school aptitude.

There wouldn't be a player in the NRL that could run sub 10.7. Hell, there is probably only 1 or 2 that could run sub 11 second.

 

[Brutus]

I've always wondered how Don Tweedle would gone in the NFL.

 

[magpie4ever]

One of the PTI commentators on ESPN have just said "that he would be nothing but a squad douche'":lol::lol::lol:

IMO, he simply won't make it.

If anything,Hayne is simply looking for a reason to have a year off from football.

thread/

Good luck to him but he has the same probability of making the NFL as I have of winning Powerball tonight.

Whatever are the true reasons I believe Gong has it right - he wants a year off (for whatever reason).

You are totally wrong.
All NFL players are superhumans physically and have the intellect of rocket scientists. I know because all the NFL sycophants in this thread have educated me as to the superiority of the game to our colonial offering.

Fmd, talk about cultural cringe.

Gotta agree, doubt the average joe playing in the NFL is or was a budding einstein. Whereas, quite a few would be artifical Hulks - if you know what I mean.

 

[magpie4ever]

Should the NRL do a full blood analysis (whatever, is the tech term) on Hayne for his possible future return to the game pre move to the US, given the NFLs acceptance of PEDS usage?

 

[canberra_raiders2k2]

Ive heard plenty of NFL interviews, nothing compares to the Casiano or Boyd interviews hahaha.

Having said that, these athletes train so long, its bound to restrict other activities..like education.

Dude... I actually follow the NFL... I'm not going to stand here and discredit the sport...

What I'm talking about are the intangibles that scouts, coaches and gm's look at...

There are certain kids who have athletic gifts but because of character issues will see there draft stock fall to a place well below where there talent should dictate them be drafted... And that includes falling out of the draft all together.

There's an old saying... No problem will get better by throwing money at it... And it works the same with college kids... If a kid has character flaws... Throwing 6M a season won't fix that.

Case in point... Jameis Winston... This dude should be a consensus number 1 or 2 pick in next years draft... Because of his immaturity dealing with his popularity in college... He's in danger of falling out of the first round... That's 10's of millions of dollars he's losing.

Another case in point... Aaron Hernandez... The Pats drafted him knowing full well he had character red flags in his past... He goes well for them and they extend his deal for a further 5 years... Less than a year later he gets charged with murdering someone and the pats have to cut him and lose $12M in bonuses.

It's not the main consideration with coaches and gm's who pick them up... But the fact that he's been a pro athlete for 10yrs shows a maturity and work ethic that will have an appeal.

Never mind the whole Hayne/NFL talk, what about what this means for Parramatta.

If the Eels make some good signings with this money, there's no way Jarryd will come back to the club. Club's will be offering him $1,000,000 a season, no ifs or buts about it.

Or they could sign no one, & be left wondering whether he's coming back, & have roughly 1/6th of their salary cap doing nothing.

Really good point, Parra will need to hope Smity pulls out that special power he has (after the blood tests, of course).

You guys understand there is a difference between book smarts and football smarts, right?
This is a game they have played all their life, a game they understand innately, it's natural to them, the same way the RL is natural to say Greg Inglis, and we all know that bloke is a thick as f**king plank. The same way Dane Swan is a natural to AFL, despite being a total f**king idiot, the same way Digby Ioane is a natural to RU, despite possessing what must be a sub 80 IQ.

No one is saying they are intellectuals, least not anymore so than other other elite sorts. You dont have to be a genius to play elite sport, but there is a difference in growing up playing a sport and having an innate understand of the sport, a natural feel for it, the rules, the general flow of the game, being instinctive to the game because it's what you've grown up playing, and translating that information in to be able to play it autonomously. As opposed to Hayne who has none of this.

You dont have to be an intellectual to play NFL, 99% of the NFL rosters are dumb shits. However they really dont have to learn it as such, they grow up playing it, it's just acquired knowledge over literally decades of experience.
Learning a game this complex, having never grown up with, never played it, is COMPLETELY different.

Goodness, can you at least try and be an adult about this?

 

[Pete Cash]

Look at Frank Gore he's pretty thick and has one of the lowest Wonderlic scores ever ( a score of 6) but he is quite positionally smart. Had hayne grown up playing running back he'd have those smarts too.

 

[WaznTheGreat]

The Hayne Plane all over worldwide media,bow to the great man you minions
