Who's the most exciting young stud Zion, Metcalf or Haaland

Going with Metcalf for sure...
Dude looks as close as you can get to a superstar WR, the type of guy that get him the ball and he makes stuff happen....

Haaland the best technically,
But Metcalf ain’t far behind...
Zion the best physically,
But Metcalf ain’t far behind...

Yeah the argument could be because of basketball and zions athleticism he could be alltime impact wise...
But looking at it right now,
He is going to struggle with injuries throughout his career, and doesn’t seem to have that elite work ethic the top guys typically need...

Metcalf ticks every box of a guy who will dominate...

This isn’t just cause I am a Seahawks fan, and Metcalf is my favourite player :lol:

I'm not nearly as versed on other sports as I am Basketball. THat DK guy is fricking shredded lol. Can anyone familiar with all three sports give a detailed explanation why? Most here will say Zion, But if he's out of shape again and continues to be lackluster on defense and rebounding then that'll definitely hamper his ceiling. He's still a beast though, very hard to cover with his elite frame.

I've never watched Metcalf play before, But IMO he looks the best physically. Yes better than Zion.

Calvin Johson was the best WR of all time and his time went 0-16.

Hardcore Soccer and Basketball fan here.

Haaland has GOAT striker potential, with his size and speed. Fantastic to watch

Zion's athleticism brings him a lot of expectations but I'm not too excited about his overall game.

What do you think of Joao Felix, who is better between him and Halaand?

I wanted to say Haaland by a mile but I think the difference between him and Felix is more than a mile.

zion is truly a unicorn, more like aaron donald would be considered in the NFL.

Im not sure I would say Calvin and Julio were more productive than DK to start their careers.

Rookie years:
Calvin: 756 yards, 4 touchdowns
Julio: 959 yards, 8 touchdowns
DK: 900 yards, 8 touchdowns

2nd year:
Calvin: 1331 yards, 12 touchdowns
Julio: 1198 yards, 10 touchdowns
DK: 788 yards, 8 touchdowns in just half the season. So on pace for 1576 yards and 16 touchdowns

Not exactly a fair comparison at face value, especially for Calvin who was catching balls from Jon Kitna and Dan Orlovsky. DK has one of the best QBs in the league in a more passer friendly era.

But I was responding to a question about their production. And production wise DK is step in step with those guys. Yes DK has had the best situation to fall into, I will push back on the more passer friendly era part though. Both guys came into the league once it was already a passer friendly era, I mean Julio is only 31 years old.

DK, Erling and a very distant Zion, in that order.

I’m Portuguese so I’ve been watching Felix’s games for a while.

I think he’s a fantastic talent but not as easy to fit on a team as Haaland. Felix excels as the secondary striker and could lead Atletico to a title this year playing wit Suarez

Haaland is so good that I might even take him before Mbappe.

Felix is great but won’t carry a team

Production should be considered relative to era. 10-15 years is a long time.

Number of QBs throwing for 3000+ yards - 2007: 15 | 2011: 20 | 2020: 25

Clear trend there. I was speaking more to Calvin though (which is why I said especially), who was major at a disadvantage in terms of era and QB play. Coaching, scheme, training, personnel have all optimized the passing game over the years.

DK is obviously a beast, I just think Calvin would have obliterated records if you plopped him into this era with Russ, another great receiver in Lockett (and a porous defense leading to shootouts).

Decaf Metcalf because I'm a Seahawks supporter.

LaMelo is clearly the most intelligent young stud

Haaland & DK have the actual production to support the hype. Zion lol for now he's living off highschool n college highlights.

If we are talking Duke Zion I think Zion takes the end...
The speed and quickness he showed, and the conditioning as well...
He was a true freak athlete...

In the NBA he has been a chunky boi with bounce...
So yeah I would agree,
At this point of this season, Metcalf is the better physical freak.
