trutrojan8 Posted August 21, 2009 Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 Terrible. He's a sprinter, not a football player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KurbyFX Posted August 21, 2009 Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 Dumb thread IMO. So many prospects who have had the physical attributes have not been successful in ANY pro sport, what makes Bolt any different? We're talking about the mental aspect, the intangibles, etc. I hate when threads like these are made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fish7718 Posted August 21, 2009 Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 Speed is only useful if you can catch the ball on the run Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JWaLL Posted August 21, 2009 Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 (edited) All he has is speed. One solid hit and he'd be out for the season. Let him stick to dominating sprinting. Nothing against him or anything, I'm a big fan of track and it's amazing watching him compete.

Warren2ThaG Posted August 21, 2009 Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 Can't he sprint past every defender? Maybe they have to play deep as hell haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChosenOne Posted August 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 Can't he sprint past every defender? Maybe they have to play deep as hell haha. Yeah that is what I was thinking. Yeah one hit would kill the dude but still he would make the the defense respect the deep ball so much it would make the running game so much better.

Could Tiger Woods bat 3rd for the Yankees, just because he can hit a golf ball far? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChosenOne Posted August 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 (edited) lmao no they wouldn't. Could Tiger Woods bat 3rd for the Yankees, just because he can hit a golf ball far? WTF?  He is a [expletive]ing golfer nothing like baseball. Bolt would be a reciever, where he would run straight down the feild (like a sprint) and try to catch the ball.

Then play defense. Big difference in ideas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not like Bolt would have to change the way he runs in the NFL, except the direction. Tiger Woods takes his time with his golf swing. It's not about timing a hit while a ball is flying out you. 2 totally different comparisons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smitty Posted August 21, 2009 Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 Bolt would probably have to put on a good 100 pounds of muscle if he wants to survive as a WR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trutrojan8 Posted August 21, 2009 Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 For him yes it would be. Duh, way to state the obvious.Duh, way to state the obvious.K, and you did the same thing with Tiger Woods. Obviously he can't hit a 90 MPH fastball. When you simplify the two concepts, they sound ideal. When you look in detail, they both fail.

trutrojan8 Posted August 22, 2009 Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 lol NOYes. You said basically what a WR does is run down the field. Bolt could do that, yes.I said basically what a power hitter does is hit balls hard. Tiger could do that, yes. But, when Bolt can't block 250 pound linebackers, or take a hit from someone who has just as much muscle as Bolt weighs in total, being a wide receiver is harder than it seems.And when going from just hitting balls goes to hitting a 100 mph fastball, followed by a 75 mph curve ball, hitting home runs is harder than it seems.

The whole concept is [expletive]ed by not only the fact that the golfers are hitting a stationary ball but a bat is much heavier then a golf club.

The whole concept is [expletive]ed by not only the fact that sprinters are simply running, but that an NFL wide receiver also has to block, and take hits.

No one says he has to block they can bring him on spread packages and feature him only on passing plays. Usain Bolt COULD be a WR I don't see it happening but hes got the physical abilities. Tigers wood CANNOT play and could NEVER baseball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
