There is a difference between knowing the path and walking the path. Washburn football LB alum.

@LFCGeezy This starting lineup happened one time ever lol

@michaelhil79654 @5uga5ean He’s averaged 1675 scrimmage yards per year in his career and you’d never heard of him? You just don’t pay very much attention to the league, and that’s okay.

[Jake Wingo @JakeWingo]

@Matty_KCSN @StickToTheModel He’s a terrible slot corner. I don’t think he’s a very good safety either and would rather see Hicks there for the long-term. At the very least, I don’t think the difference between the two is to the “easily” degree. But we can just agree to disagree on that haha.

[Jake Wingo @JakeWingo]

@Matty_KCSN @StickToTheModel If there were only two options available, sure. Fortunately, there’s an option to not put Conner on the field unless someone is hurt. Canady should keep Conner off the field entirely. Seems that you’re much higher on Conner than I am though. Versatile, valuable backup imo.

[Jake Wingo @JakeWingo]

@StickToTheModel @Matty_KCSN Two playable linebackers is a significant problem for me. If Conner plays over Hicks, I will riot. Also think Canady has a shot to play early as the nickel.

@MathBomb @VinBarbarino @RobbyLloyd89 He’s talking to Robby who is rounding 23 pounds up to 30 lol

[Jake Wingo @JakeWingo]

@Tktravis @RealSkipBayless Will Anderson just became the highest paid non-QB of all time and weighs one pound more than Thomas lol.

@greg_douthit @mickshaffer Akron played in Pittsburgh in the opening round in 2024. About two hours away. Not much different.

[Jake Wingo @JakeWingo]

@mjmac0026 @Vipsaniu_s @IsaacPunts Nah. If anything it increases your chances of burnout exponentially more than your chances of being 6’ 2”+ with long levers. For example, you could punt for 10 hours a day for 18 years and if you’re 5’ 6”, your chances of being an NFL punter are almost zero.

[Jake Wingo @JakeWingo]

@justBill @Vipsaniu_s @IsaacPunts Oh I thought your point was that I didn’t take stats in high school. Respectfully, of course.

[Jake Wingo @JakeWingo]

@justBill @Vipsaniu_s @IsaacPunts You can’t meaningfully narrow down the sample size without making an assumption that you don’t know to be true though. That’s the issue. Do I think it’s .000000002%? No. But do I think .00002 by taking out, let’s say kids with specific disabilities, is meaningfully different? No.

[Jake Wingo @JakeWingo]

@mjmac0026 @Vipsaniu_s @IsaacPunts Your dad saying “I’d like my son to be an NFL punter” doesn’t materially increase your chances of being talented enough to be an NFL punter unfortunately.

[Jake Wingo @JakeWingo]

@Goateredd @Vipsaniu_s @IsaacPunts

[Jake Wingo @JakeWingo]

@ruallsion @Vipsaniu_s @IsaacPunts You’re making the assumption that training from birth means you’re good enough to play in high school. Or that he would even want to. That’s a logical fallacy.

[Jake Wingo @JakeWingo]

@ruallsion @Vipsaniu_s @IsaacPunts Yes, you could determine the chances of a high school punter becoming an NFL punter. That’s not what the original question was though. The question was what chance does my random kid have of becoming an NFL player. Much larger sample size.

[Jake Wingo @JakeWingo]

@ruallsion @Vipsaniu_s @IsaacPunts So you like your chances at becoming an NFL punter better if there are 28 available jobs instead of 32? Interesting. Not sure about that one, but have a good evening.

[Jake Wingo @JakeWingo]

@Vipsaniu_s @ruallsion @IsaacPunts

[Jake Wingo @JakeWingo]

@ruallsion @Vipsaniu_s @IsaacPunts So a non-American taking one or more of the available punting jobs in the NFL is irrelevant to the statistical odds to him getting one of the jobs? That’s just not how odds work. He now has one less opportunity to fill a previously open position.
