Man, I don't know if I've ever agreed with BonifayRam on anything. LoL...
And I don't here either. His position of Long being one big flop is overstated IMO.
They've been grooming him for a couple of years like they did with Williams and he's been developing. In fact, I get the impression the coaches are pretty high on Long based on comments after TC. The battle for the starting nod between him and Williams went down to the wire. And we know how good Williams was. I don't think you have that prolonged battle if the coaches feel Long is a bum.
The funny thing is that I rarely find myself disagreeing with either BonifayRam or you, dz. yet here we are.
Look, I’ll concede that it’s over the top to declare Long a bust. Yet...
OTOH, I’d be lying if I said I was pleased with him to this point. The recent development of Williams, Hill, Burgess, and Fuller have left Long in the dust, imho. Those 4 secondary guys have set the bar very high and left Long almost as an afterthought.
Fingers crossed for Long, but he’s gotta win me over at this point.
Frankly, I see Burgess as the early favorite to be our nickel starter.
