One thing James seems to have over Trent Taylor is long speed. TT has the advantage in short area quickness. Based on combine numbers.

TT doesn't have the injury history as James does, is stronger, better route runner and more complete route tree. Also, something James cannot get is that TT has a year of experience in the system and can just play.

He's stronger cause of James' two broken collarbones. That's a lot of time missed from working out the upper body to gain some size.

James is 1.5 years younger and hasn't been able to workout much because of his two broken collarbones.
With the help of a pro trainer both him and Pettis will likely gain a lot of muscle, strength and some quickness, etc

Kid comes from a deprived area of Florida, had to go to JUCO, I guarantee he knows a lot more about these issues than you do, just because he got out through talent, I guarantee you he has friends and/or relatives who have been shot, sent to prison or flat out deprived, and has had his fair share of issues with the police.

This is the problem = arrogance. You "guarantee he knows more" than me; but you know absolutely nothing about me (and very very little about him). For all you know I'm his daddy.

People who have gone through hardship don't belittle other people's hardship.

Like I've said in other threads perception is a powerful tool.

Judge not lest you be judged.

Another reason why he could have slipped...

Also contributing to his draft fall may be his politics. While college football players are not in a position to take a stance during the national anthem, since they're still in the locker room, James in September 2017 made it clear he would kneel in the NFL.

"Oh yeah, I definitely would," he said, via the Daily News Journal.

"So much history is repeating itself," James added. "So that's the most positive way we can do anything about it, taking a knee during the national anthem. Just being active on the stage and that platform, I think they're doing the right thing… we have to make a change, as a culture, as people… we've got to do better."

It'd be speculative to say this is 100 percent why James fell, but teams that did homework on him likely came across this pretty early on. And not being deaf to what's going on in the league, it may have contributed to a few teams' decision to pass, especially in a deep WR class

Subtle hatred? Why because he doesn't buy into the liberal media narratives? MK is telling it how it is. A lot of these national anthem protests athletes are extremely misinformed on the issues and the actual figures on police brutality. They see isolated incidents of police brutality on CNN and come away thinking its rampant and systemic and most cops are bad and out to get them. It's BS.

Good question! And as to some being uninformed...that goes every which way. Lot of uniformed folks out there.

You're making it obvious that you haven't been listening. Kap said 99% of police officers are doing a great job protecting our society, however the ones that dont should be held accountable.

Police departments themselves preach this, the only thing from Kap that I completely disagree with is that when they shoot someone they're on holiday, that's nonsense as they are stressing over loosing their livelihoods.

However police brutality is just a part of the issue, they're also trying to bring awareness that the justice system currently punishes people who commit the same crimes differently, and disproportionately higher against black people.

Unfortunately the whole system is set up for certain people to fail, back to Richie James, being a young black kid from Sarasota you need to be exceptional to succeed, being a young white kid from Surburbia you just have to be acceptable.

It could come down to Robinson vs. James for the final WR spot. Really curious to see what James can do in this offense with this QB.

Does he respect other people's couches?

No question and I think Rich James takes that final 6th spot.
