I expect Eli Apple to have a top-5 CB season after this.



Curious how his market looks. Even his own teammates hate him so can't imagine people will be beating down the doors for his services. But he also started the season with some real strong play before falling off a cliff late. So someone is taking him and will get some great games followed by mostly disappointment.

He’s coming to the Ravens. He’s been stalking and liking all of Lamar’s tweets. Put him on Chase 1v1 and watch him work!

Why such bravado and callousness for a woman photographer that was hurt badly trying to take a picture? This isn't about no fucking 'cancel culture' folks. It is about our humanity! Is being nonchalant about another's suffering somehow in vogue now? Does using the label of 'cancel culture' absolve all of us from caring about fellow human beings? This isn't about labels at all. This is about who we are as Americans and what we're choosing to be instead, just to feel like we belong to the anti-cancel culture crowd? What am I missing here? I know all forum members have good hearts, but to pretend like you don't give a shit about another American is just wrong. Let us get past this labeling nonsense and get together to at least show concern.

tbf he was part of a pretty good revamped bengals secondary (albeit somewhat helped by that cover 2 type scheme) - i know PFF really loved him - and i imagine there'll be a few teams trying to pay him... he's certainly gonna get more than the 1.5m 1 year deal he got this year - he's only 27 and just had the best season of his career and was trusted (albeit he failed in the biggest spot) against number 1 receivers in critical situations in critical games - i'd be surprised if he got less than 8m from someone (with the bengals cap space i wouldnt be surprised if they were the team to pay him)

I’m an extremely empathetic person, like to an extent that is just unhealthy for me mentally, it’s kind of a problem for me actually, may be hard to tell because I just be actin a fool on here, but there’s a difference between being empathetic, and demanding someone else show an excessive amount of empathy in a drunk celebratory state, dude probably had no idea it was a serious thing and even if he did know wtf is he supposed to do about it? Go put on the waterworks for the cameras? Nah, that’s out of my belief system, just be real and authentic, there wasn’t shit he could do about it and he likely didn’t even know her, a “damn that sucks” is about the appropriate response for this situation, and that’s essentially what he did.

I don't disagree. He was really good for a significant portion of the year, but reverted back to old ways when it mattered most. Just curious how teams measure his play vs. the fact that nearly everyone in the league hates the dude. Feels like he's the type of guy stuck on 1 year deals for the rest of his career.

Like in this scenario I don't expect any heroics from him, I just find it odd how his 1st response isn't to go look to see if someone is helping her before going back to partying.

he just needs to go somewhere and jive with a few guys and he'll be fine - some guys who rib him a little bit but have his back - probably would help him too if he had more than 1 year deal to settle somewhere

but who knows really

Tired drunk and still on the SB high. I don't blame him 1 bit. Too much being made of it. I'm most likely doing the same in his position. There's nothing I can do there and she's just going to kill my buzz.

he doesnt get killed a lot - he had like 1 bad half of 1 game against the bengals and like 75 of the 200 yards attributed to him in coverage that game came because of 1 missed tackle in the short area...

and if your bar for an elite corner is that they never get killed even when left 1v1 vs the best WRs in the league then im not sure there's a single elite corner in the league... just look at the supposed best corner in the league and how he got killed by chase in the superbowl only last weekend lol...

im fairly confident there's only maybe 4 or 5 corners even in the same conversation as marlon...
ramsey
alexander
howard
terrell
white

cant think of any others who might be in the same league as marlon
Terrell has had one good season so i cant put him up there..ramsey got “ killed” on fly routes.marlon gets routed up and gets beat by #2 wrs often. white, ramsey and jaire are the most consistent in nfl so far..havent watched howard literally at all so idk. Denzel ward is pretty good also. Marlon isnt consistent enough at all so i cant put him in that elite category.
