John Lynch: "Mark Barron is a flat-out STUD"

[DanTurksGhost]

"I think he's a flat-out stud," Lynch said. "He doesn't have any holes. He does everything well. This is a big-time game-changing football player. My own opinion (I know he's hot), is that if he slips and you see an opportunity to go get him, do. This is guy is a starter and top-line right now. He will definitely impact a team. What do I like so much? Everything. He sees things well. He recognizes and reacts quickly. He has very good athletic ability. He tackles well in space. He demonstrates great ball skills. In addition, he's nasty. He finishes, and he finishes violently."

I'll take his opinion on a safety all day..

He said the same thing about Tanard Jackson.

God I wish John Lynch would come to the Bucs and be involved in some capacity. It was a sad day seeing him leave. Always loved Lynch. Was such an awesome player to watch.

If John Lynch likes him, then I am sold.

Tanard was pretty damn good coming into the league. He had everything you wanted in a star safety. Too bad hes a friggin pothead and forgot how to tackle because he pissed away all that talent in my mind.

[youngone]

tanard had all the tools to be a great safety.. Just lacked the brains to put it all together. I don't think he loved football enough to be anything more than a suspended pothead

Is the John Lynch who wasn't an important cog on one of the greatest defenses of all time?   Allegedly

Java:

Do you ever say anything positive?

For 3+ years now, you've had nothing but negative things to say about this team.  At what point do you give up?

To be fair, Java likes the Barron pick. I think he went on record with saying he is a baller.

My bad.

Just seems like he has a negative comment for everything.

[3rd String Kicker]

Java plays devil's advocate a lot lol.

[SnookAU]

That should actually be his screen name instead.

Analyst on ESPN this morning said Barron was the pick all along. We were never going to trade up, only down and it was to get into a better position to draft Barron.

This blew my mind....No one had us pegged for Barron.

You are a wet blanket, are you ever happy?

Shame we didn't get Kuechly, but if Barron has Lynch's seal of approval, I can't argue that.
