This thread isn't about Branch, Cutler, Flex, or anyone else other than Philly. That's who I'M talkin' about. Honestly, I think it's sad you think Phil " is about the best we have on the Pro circuit ... ". Have you even seen these dudes in person, G ? I have ! Many times ! Heath looks like a fuckin' blow up doll ! And Branch ( since you want to bring him up ) actually HAS QUALITY MASS. QUALITY is the key word here.
Most people think that Phil is the best we got...Branch has quality mass---where? Only his quads, he has no back, looks like a overcooked T-Rex, and has the forearms of a parapalegic, and that is a insult ro parapalegic the Greek guy is light yrs ahead of Branch in terms of quality mass...
I don't know where the moniker "The Gift" came from, but it apparently has to do with him being of the genetically gifted few, and to be at the top, unfortunately, the quality is so bad now, that, yep, Phil is about as good as it gets. I think his obliques are too big, and he has lost what he used to have. If Kai comes in shape, he'll bear Phil, if Wolf actually finds a lower back, he'll beat Phil. But right now, none are on top of their game like Phil is, so. That being said, Phil gets the vote...plus, Phil has that shiny, sparklely, can do no wrong image...
There has been tons or hate for Phil the last couple of months for no reason...sure he looks bloofy in the off season, sure he has a set of arms, sure he is narrow...but, when you look at his weaknesses and he never comes out of condition vs. The Others weaknesses---Constipation Boy wins out...
