This is not from some random X account. This is the NFL's official account, and it poses a ridiculous question. It seems quite premature to call them a duo, much less the greatest duo.
Obviously created for clicks and attention; no problem with that. But there was an interesting response from Gregg Williams: 
Sometimes you just sit back and chuckle. But, hey, they played and coached in the NFL, so they must know better than us, right?
Williams coached both players when they entered the NFL, so he's biased, but while Donald's signing is a big story, it might be wise to see them play together before they can be rated in any way.
If that is not bad enough, Dan Orlovsky is hyping Matthew Stafford again. They were teammates for a few years. So, of course, no bias there. But same thing applies. Cart before the horse.
Players and coaches are not history buffs.
ReplyDeleteTruth. They know things we'll never know, but often forget major details of their own career, or exaggerate their own successes. Here there are displaying bias and in case of Williams, commenting on two guys being best duo but have never set foot on the field.
DeleteMaybe at end of season and if both are DPOY candidates it might be said they are the best duo for a single season, but as this moment, the only "duo" possible is two players on different teams now on same team with the most major postseason honors or something like that.
