Methner wins footlocker and proving all the LR haters wrong

Lamar Jackson > Tom Brady

Jackson is having an exciting year, mediocre passer, runs like a deer.

But, this will be his best year, will be another running QB with an average career when it is all said and done.

There has been a long line of successful running QB's with lasting careers....what on earth are you talking about?

And yet he has thrown 5 TDs on 3 separate occasions this season. the rest of the league has thrown 4 total. Do explain.

There are none so blind as those who shalt not see.

No haters here. He just went and did a Nico Young impersonation, right down to the same singlet! Great race, great results Detweiler record, FL Champ, NXN #2. Congratulations, well done!

No hate here...just love

So what we can surmise from this result is that Nico Young would have won this race in under 15 minutes, easily, and would have been 21 seconds ahead of third place, easily.

Please, please, please stop confusing disagreement with hatred. Thank you.

You can't surmise that at all. Yes, Nico would in all probability have won both races. However, different courses different conditions would likely have resulted in a less dominant victory. The horrible conditions in Portland allowed Nico's superior strength to produce a dominant victory. By contrast the nearly ideal conditions in S.D. and sure footing would have neutralize his strength advantage to some degree. He would almost certainly still have won--and both he and Methner would have run under 15 if Nico took it out like in Portland--but the entire field would have been 10 or more seconds faster due to a faster first mile.

Sure, because as we all know, if you beat somebody once, there is absolutely no way they will ever turn the tables.

Weren't people saying Nico wouldn't win NXN because he wasn't used to the mud? I think he's shown that he can perform well under all conditions.

A flat, fast course with sure footing did not seem to neutralize his "strength advantage" at Woodbridge, where he ran 13:39. Or, when he ran 8:40 on the track. What he proved at NXN is that he can run fast in every type of condition.

+1

Methner went out and ran a very good race. He pushed the pace and no one could respond to it.

Maybe the skinny Nico Young didn't sink into the mud as much in Portland, but on a dryer course Methner would have won.
