vmax Posted December 1, 2008 Posted December 1, 2008 Love these highlights... http://www.nfl.com/videos?videoId=09000d5d...goryId=featured http://www.nfl.com/videos?videoId=09000d5d...goryId=featured Last week Mark gave a warning. He might be a dangerous weapon afterall. Billick and Boller couldn't get him the ball. Clayton languished...maybe he was a bust. Wrong! Joe and Cam know how to make him a valuable contributer to this Ravens offense and Mark is playing like the leathel weapon he was at Oklahoma. Todays game proved to me that he is no "one week wonder"....or a bust. Those were some serious atheltic plays he made that the "average Joe Wr" can't make. Congrats to Mark Clayton! Quote
vmax Posted December 1, 2008 Author Posted December 1, 2008 What was the Tampa Score??? 23-20 Tampa. Jets lost 34-17 Quote
BMoreHon Posted December 1, 2008 Posted December 1, 2008 I am so happy for Mark. He is a truly nice kid with a good head on his shoulders. He isn't like your diva receivers that we see in guys like TO and even Housh. I was always rooting for him to do well and know he got some flack from the fans. Here's to many more productive years for the gentleman! I think we got the next Steve Smith IMO. Quote
dc. Posted December 1, 2008 Posted December 1, 2008 Here's what I think we're really learning about Mark... He can catch. Randy Moss, TO, Chad Johnson, TJ, Anquan, Fitzgerald, etc etc etc... The best receivers in the game weren't always open by 5 steps. They still aren't today. Sometimes they are, sure. But they aren't always and they don't have to be. We can throw the ball to Mark when he's only got a half-step and we know that, if the throw is there, he's either going to make the catch or no one will. That's a big lesson for this offense and this quarterback. Quote
nattybohfiend Posted December 1, 2008 Posted December 1, 2008 He's been my favorite player on offense since I saw his Oklahoma highlights when we drafted him. He has the potential and he was utilized and the team gave him the support and opportunity to have a great game. I know that it's improbable but I've always hoped that he'd progress to our number one receiver of the future. Quote
52isUnstoppable Posted December 1, 2008 Posted December 1, 2008 he's still mediocre IMO. He rarely gets open thats why every QB we ever had looks to mason first. He rarely gets YAC yards which is ALL he got at OK. The only YAC he gets are on those long bombs when hes already open. He avoids contact like crazy, seriously watch him avoid contact on those quick hitches when instead of making someone miss he just hits the turf. This guy is decent, nothing more, nothing less. Comparing him to steve smith is nuts. Smith sheds tackles and makes moves much much better than clayton. Not trying to hate, but not going to jump on his nuts at this point. Hes a first rounder not a 4th or 5th. Quote
cravnravn Posted December 1, 2008 Posted December 1, 2008 Who'da thunk it, Clayton is up for O performer of the week..Leonard is up for D Play of the week, and Joltin Joe is up for rookie of the week... Quote

Hes a first rounder not a 4th or 5th. I'm with you on this. He has done this a few times, had a game or a few plays here and there, then nothing. Lets seem him do a full season of this. Quote
cravnravn Posted December 2, 2008 Posted December 2, 2008 Give him a break, we finally have a QB that hits the open recievers. Quote
ravinmaniac52 Posted December 2, 2008 Posted December 2, 2008 Give him a break, we finally have a QB that hits the open recievers. Mark hasn't been open that much and who was it that he was running down the field with. Even on his pass the CB give-up on Mason watching Mark. We played a very poor team, very. You think the Titans can take something from that Thanksgiving Day Game? Quote
thundercleetz Posted December 2, 2008 Posted December 2, 2008 I am not ready to bestow Clayton as the real deal yet. He dropped some makable touchdown catches earlier in the year. He has made some impressive progress though. Quote

cravnravn Posted December 2, 2008 Posted December 2, 2008 And a s far as the DB goes, what DB dosent bite?? The game in Indy Im sitting up top and I see C-Mac cheating in on Manning, the mark of a good QB is to see the cheater then burn him, which Manning immediately did. Quote
yagersports Posted December 2, 2008 Posted December 2, 2008 I think Clayton will get more and more passes his way as Flacco gets more and more experience as an NFL QB. Who can blame Flacco for zeroing in on Mason, that's a nice comfort blanket to have as a rookie. I like Clayton, I really hope he begins to string a few of these types of games together. Quote
