This has been absolutely driving me crazy, and I see it all over. Maybe someone here can give me some insight that would help.
As I understand it:
The word "dominate" is a verb and should be used in a sentence such as "AD on a good day can dominate any offensive lineman in the NFL"
The word "dominant" is an adjective and is used as such "AD is the most dominant defensive tackle in recent history, possibly ever."
My concern is how often I am starting to see the word "dominate" used as an adjective. Here is a recent example from Drew Boylhart on HuddleReport:
Jachai has a ton of untapped talent to rush the passer and become a dominate player similar to the Patriots Donta HightowerI have seen it on this board multiple times and now I am starting to see it in other places. What am I missing? We have the word dominant, which is a perfectly good adjective, why are we replacing it with a noun?
Important offseason topic. Anyone know what is going on?
