Baldwin: Our goal is to make Marshawn Lynch SB MVP

Despite what you might think about Doug Baldwin's histrionics, the Seattle Seahawks' receiver undoubtedly oozes confidence in his own skills.

Following the NFC Championship, Baldwin took issue with NFL Media's Deion Sanders calling the Seahawks' receivers just "aiiight." On Tuesday night the two sat down for a highly entertaining discussion on the topic.

The video atop this page is well worth your time, but here is one pertinent section to highlight Baldwin's stance and passion on the subject:

Deion: "That's what I'm gonna do, but also if I had a grown man out there, now I gotta deal with him. I'm not saying you guys aren't, but you're not putting up the numbers to make me say, hey, that's a grown man out there, you gonna have to deal with him."

Baldwin: "Speaking of numbers, let's talk about numbers for a minute. You would say Demaryius Thomas, Calvin Johnson, Antonio Brown, those guys are elite receivers in the league, right?"

Deion: "Yes, I would."

Baldwin: "And I agree with you, I think those cats are one of the best, they are really good. But I've had 170 odd targets in two seasons. Those guys have that amount of targets in one season. But yet we still produce at the same level in terms of catch percentage, yards per catch, all of that is the same once you add the targets into it."

For fun, let's look at where Baldwin ranked this season among NFL players using stats compiled from Pro Football Focus:

Targets (90): 48th; receptions (66): 34th; completion percentage (73.3): ninth; yards (825): 35th; yards per reception (12.5): 63rd; yards after catch (342): 26th; yards after catch per reception (5.2): 33rd; touchdowns (three): T-50th; dropped passes (three): T-62; missed tackles caused (nine): T-26th.

"Like I said, I ain't gonna sit up here and tell you that I'm the best receiver that's ever played the game, but I'm working towards it," Baldwin said. "At the same time, I know what I'm capable of doing. So we going to see what happens on Sunday and we going to bring it just like we been bringing it the entire season. We gonna go out there and try to do our goal, which is to make Marshawn Lynch the MVP of the Super Bowl and if we do that, obviously we're going to win."

The biggest point to be made is that Baldwin has a chance win his second Super Bowl ring on Sunday -- two more than most of the "star" receivers.

"We focus on not just catches, we don't focus on statistics, we focus on winning games, winning championships," he said. "And for us, that's running the ball and controlling the clock and playing stifling defense. So that's what we're doing. So on third down, and if you look at the stats, we have the most efficient receivers on third down."

Against anyone else I'd say Gronk, but if there is one safety in the league capable of shutting that guy down, its Kam Chancellor.

So I'm going Brady, he's going to show why he's a first ballot player in this game... and Hootie shall weep.

Hootie · 01-28-2015, 10:51 AM

weep?

for a guy who might win his 4th asterisked championship?!

*pulls out piano*

Don't care! Don't care! Don't care! Don't care!

There's no way that the Pats can be cheating in this game. There is going to be a ton of people watching at every moment the entire week and checking everything.

If Brady beats Seattle and does well individually, he deserves every ounce of respect.

bullshit. I'm supposed to respect the guy who cheated to get to the Superbowl?

Hootie · 01-28-2015, 11:05 AM

oh he does?

for using a tainted ball for years?

for benefiting from Spygate? Allegedly knowing the defensive playcalls pre-snap? Having communication with the coaching staff through illegal channels after the 15 second cut-off?

He deserves "every ounce of respect" for POSSIBLY playing it straight for one ball game?

Riiight.

Hootie · 01-28-2015, 11:06 AM

I respect Tom for cashing in on his cheating ways a la Lance Armstrong, Alex Rodriguez, etc...

You only get one life to amass all of the wealth and beauty you can ... and he's done a great job of that. And cheating got him there! Good for him.

As for his on the field play? I used to, before I realized he was a lying, cheating, scumbag.

ClevelandBronco · 01-28-2015, 11:08 AM

Make mine Brady.

The entire league thinks brady is cheating. How the hell are they going to cheat in this game?

Gaurantee Seattle is being proactive to make sure Hoodie knows nothing about their walk through or meetings or anything.
You can also bet your ass that the Pats locker room will be watched like a hawk by several people and the footballs will be checked every single drive.

Did they cheat before? Probably. Are they going to be able to cheat for this game?
I don't see how they can.

Did they cheat before? Sure. Which means they earn zero ****ing respect.

If they beat Seattle on Sunday fair and square and Brady plays well then I think they deserve credit for that game (notice I said this game only).

But I think Seattle is going to **** them up and Brady will be on the ground.
