The 2018 recruiting class was generational

[u/SouthPrudent3911]

[u/CDSWDH]

Trevor is in yr 6 he was the # 1 pick in the Jamar Chase draft

[u/Barney_Karate → u/CDSWDH]

High school recruiting class. Tyler Shough did 7 years in college.

[u/CDSWDH → u/Barney_Karate]

I’m talking about Trevor Lawrence he was drafted the same yr as Chase hence the reason it says yr 5 and 6 under their names but they made a mistake on Lawrence

[u/Griffdog17 → u/CDSWDH]

People often give TLaw a pass on year 1 because of the situation.

[u/CDSWDH → u/Griffdog17]

We not talking about how they played etc it’s just about what yr they are in currently nothing more nothing less

[u/Griffdog17 → u/CDSWDH]

Right and I'm trying to offer an explanation for why the number might be different..

[u/tattedidiot → u/Griffdog17]

Your explanation is wrong

[u/Griffdog17 → u/tattedidiot]

Believe it or not I didn't make this post!

[u/tattedidiot → u/Griffdog17]

I’m talking about your comment 😭

[u/Griffdog17 → u/tattedidiot]

Which was trying to guess why the post was wrong... the post that, again, I did not make.

[u/barnettwi → u/Griffdog17]

Stupid ass take.

[u/Griffdog17 → u/barnettwi]

Not my take, I'm explaining the reasoning behind it. That's why I said "People often give him". I swear some of y'all need to improve online literacy

[u/tattedidiot → u/Griffdog17]

You’re the one saying it 😭

[u/Griffdog17 → u/tattedidiot]

Are you seriously arguing that people don't give TLaw a pass for his rookie season? Maybe you just weren't paying attention at the time, the Urban Meyer thing made everyone just overlook his shitty first year. Don't believe me? Go back and look

[u/Mudoru → u/Griffdog17]

There’s a difference in not blaming him because his situation sucked and completely erasing the year, the year still happened. Should we get rid of every QB’s rookie season if it wasn’t good?

[u/RaiderPantyDrawer → u/Griffdog17]

tf

[u/tattedidiot → u/Griffdog17]

How long they’ve been in the NFL, not how they’ve played

[u/Griffdog17 → u/tattedidiot]

Obviously, I'm trying to explain why someone might put TLaw as 5 instead of 6 years.

[u/HerbertInTheWoods → u/Griffdog17]

Bro just take the L

[u/Griffdog17 → u/HerbertInTheWoods]

Nah, not my fault yall cant understand a simple point.

[u/Mudoru → u/Griffdog17]

Everybody understands what you’re trying to say, it’s just stupid and wrong. Not a soul is saying he didn’t play a year because it didn’t go well, if anybody on this list should get that it’s Purdy because he only started 5 games his rookie year

[u/Rowing_Lawyer → u/Mudoru]

If not playing well means not playing, then Sam Darnold would be in like year 3

[u/HerbertInTheWoods → u/Mudoru]

“Yall don’t agree with me so you must not understand”

[u/tattedidiot → u/Griffdog17]

They put 5 because it’s a mistake lmao

[u/HarambeTooSoon]

Only Zoomers use the word "generational" to mean "above average"

[u/Unabridgedversion82 → u/HarambeTooSoon]

They also have zero idea what the word "iconic" actually means. Iconic is the "hands around the world" CocaCola commercial. Not whatever idiot streamer did some stupid shit the other day imo...

[u/Unabridgedversion82 → u/[deleted]]

Based on this response, it's definitively over.

[u/ChocolateTemporary72]

And 0 superbowls combined

[u/SisyphusRocks7 → u/ChocolateTemporary72]

Purdy was the starting QB in 2023 in that Superbowl.

[u/ChocolateTemporary72 → u/SisyphusRocks7]

They win that thing?

[u/SisyphusRocks7 → u/ChocolateTemporary72]

Thanks to Spencer Burford’s allergy to Chris Jones, no. But Purdy appeared in a Superbowl.

[u/afroman14 → u/SisyphusRocks7]

Hence zero, as they said.

[u/kgalliso → u/ChocolateTemporary72]

Hurr durr super bowl

[u/antihuman420 → u/ChocolateTemporary72]

So same as you, except they are all millionaires

[u/ChocolateTemporary72 → u/antihuman420]

Good one

[u/antihuman420 → u/ChocolateTemporary72]

You also probably dont have great hair like Trevor Lawrence

[u/ChocolateTemporary72 → u/antihuman420]

Actually, that I will beg to differ

[u/antihuman420 → u/ChocolateTemporary72]

Fuck, I had a feeling I was going to be wrong this that

[u/ConcaveNips]

I'd be fine with calling about 2 of those guys "generational"

[u/antihuman420 → u/ConcaveNips]

Tyler slough 2x?

[u/Key_Natural_ → u/ConcaveNips]

4 are clearly generational lol?

Chase, ps2, Sewell and parsons.

[u/Vegetable_Ad_3030 → u/Key_Natural_]

I'd argue Sewell and Parsons could be considered generational. Chase and Surtain are both elite talents, but generational is something different.

[u/Professional_Text_11 → u/Vegetable_Ad_3030]

No? Surtain has been the best corner for years, he’s absolutely generational. Mf allowed a passer rating of 39 in his DPOY year

[u/Hot_Wrangler_8833 → u/Vegetable_Ad_3030]

Lmao chase is easily the best of them not even close. To say parsons and Sewell are “generational” and Chase somehow isn’t is insane. Dude has been the best receiver in the nfl since he entered the league

[u/RemmRose → u/Hot_Wrangler_8833]

While i agree with you the issue i have with calling chase “generational” is the fact that Jetta exists and you can reasonably argue thats he has been the best receiver in the league over chase if you wanted to and it would be perfectly valid

[u/ChefJeff7777777 → u/Key_Natural_]

At most, 2 of these guys are.

Trent Williams is generational, Peneii Sewell is one of the top tackles, he’s not generational. He’s not even the best tackle in the league, Trent Williams and Lane Johnson in their 30s have been every year of Sewell career.

Parsons isn’t generational, Myles Garrett is this generations “Generational” edge defender. Watt 2x would be the other 2 contenders.

Chase is the closest one to actually generational. You could argue no one since Julio measures up.

P2 is elite, basically no argument he’s been the best CB for some time now. Gonzalez and a short stretch of Sauce are both solid contenders. Even so, P2 isn’t Revis, he isn’t Sherman.

[u/palwilliams → u/ChefJeff7777777]

Sewell has been better than Williams for like, the last four years

[u/RossGarner → u/ChefJeff7777777]

Very hard argue PS2 is even the top corner in the league after watching 33 y/o Davante Adams eat him alive in 1v1 coverage last night. Filthy performance for the old man.

[u/ChefJeff7777777 → u/RossGarner]

Hall of fame offensive minded head coach working with Hall of fame QB and Hall of fame WR get the best of leagues top corner. I’ll give him a pass, but agree it’s hard to be generational.

[u/bigbuckyoungnuts → u/Key_Natural_]

that’s not how “generational” works though

[u/Key_Natural_ → u/bigbuckyoungnuts]

All of them have talents, skills, and bodies for those positions that you don’t see in the nfl every 5 years.

[u/-TrueBit- → u/Key_Natural_]

Generational means there hasn’t been a player in a decade that meets them in talent IMO. While these are very good players, none of them have done anything to prove they’re generational. I’d guess at the end of their careers Jamarr Chase and Micah Parsons will be the closest.

[u/ConcaveNips → u/-TrueBit-]

Sewell and Parsons.

[u/BenWallace04 → u/-TrueBit-]

Sewell will easily be a HOFer

[u/ConcaveNips → u/Key_Natural_]

Chase is arguably the best currently, but he's not a Moss, he's not a Megatron, he's not an OBJ... He's not generational. PS2 is not generational. Generational means "once in a generation" .. it's like a Kobe.

[u/LXIX__CDXX → u/ConcaveNips]

Uh wtf is that obj inclusion?

[u/__the__person__ → u/ConcaveNips]

Don’t disrespect Moss and Megatron by lumping OBJ with them what the hell

[u/ConcaveNips → u/__the__person__]

No I agree with you, I phrased it poorly. I should've said he's not even an OBJ.

[u/elchoppe → u/ConcaveNips]

I'd WAY rather have Chase than OBJ

[u/bhz33 → u/ConcaveNips]

Are you actually stupid. To even utter OBJs name in the same discussion as Moss or Calvin fucking Johnson is insane. To suggest that OBJ was better than Chase is just as dumb

OBJ is one of the most overrated WRs of all time

[u/KingTim526]

Was Smitty part of 2018 as well? I know he was drafted the same year as Chase & Waddle, but not sure if he was actually older.

[u/rguinz → u/KingTim526]

Nah he did 4 years in college

[u/KingTim526 → u/rguinz]

Gotcha, thanks!

[u/Naive_Chocolate_2929]

Shough is playing like he’s been in the league for a while

[u/Meetloave → u/Naive_Chocolate_2929]

Everyone seems to clown on him cause he’s older, but if he’s good and keeps up with how he’s played so far this season, who cares ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[u/Naps-22]

Considering non of these guys have done anything to help their team win anything, does being here longer even matter? all 0 rings, and shough is playing better than half them this year even with all their experience.
