If my teams CB is blanket covering a WR and making picks he can talk as much smack as he likes.

This team could have done with a few Richard Sherman/Steve Smith types the last few years. They will go out there and fight and bleed for you.

There is a big difference to them and the attitude Galette had.

I agree. It seems like people want bad asses but not the attitude that comes with it.

Almost like wanting a hot chick that can cook too.

But to your point, speaking only for myself, I'd like a bad ass that isn't a dumb ass.

Put me in the boat that Richard is a smart bad ass. I mean he has an extremely high football IQ. At this point I'd take Sherman or Butler on my team. Not enough dawgs in the secondary.

Position - Peak Age Range

Centers - 26-32
Quarterbacks - 26-30
Guards - 26-29
Wide Receivers - 25-27
Tight Ends - 25-27
Running Backs - 24-27

These are the ages at which the average Joe NFL player starts to see a drop off in overall performance. But it would be foolhardy to try to apply this to any individual player.
