What is your opinion on Lebron James in the NFL?

Seahawks coach pete carroll has been tweeting lebron james about joining the seahawks and his most recent tweet showed a seahawks jersey with the name lebron on it.

How do you think he would fair in the nfl and do you think he would really join it? I personally think he would be an amazing wide reciever you would just have to lob it up to him and he would out jump everyone like randy moss. I have no idea if hes serious about it though.

He won't make it through the first game.

I think he would have made a great TE if he had played in the pro's instread of the NBA. Now not so much. One hard hit from an NFL player and he'd be running back to the NBA. :P

does he have any experience with football? perhaps more so than I do

Publicity stunt, Lebron James is a narcissist and would not trade his position as a superstar within the NBA to be a random player within the NFL..sSubZerOo

[QUOTE="sSubZerOo"]Publicity stunt, Lebron James is a narcissist and would not trade his position as a superstar within the NBA to be a random player within the NFL..Pirate700

Hell no he wouldn't imo.. A) He is the super star of a entire sport, he is paid infinitely more due to his value as a NBA player before anything coming close to a NFL player..B) He hasn't played football since high school, and even then he was only all state.. The majority of players that make it into the NFL are around that calibre to beign with. Not to mention have MUCH more experience then him. C) NFL players average career length is MUCH shorter then a NBA's along with far greater risk of injury..

I honestly think he is doing this just to stay relevent.. Because at this time the worse thing has occured to the NBA, its in lock out and NO ONE really cares.. NFL, Baseball right now are taking the eyes of every one at this time.. With hockey just starting.

If nothing else, we know James could slam dunk on the goal post if he ever got a TD.

[QUOTE="sSubZerOo"]

[QUOTE="Pirate700"]While I agree, I think if Jerry Jones offered him a job as a WR, he'd at least give it serious consideration.

To me this is a publicity stunt to keep popular.. The worse thing has happened to the NBA its locked out during harsh economic times and no one cares that a NBA season may not come due to the exciting NFL, MLB playoffs, and the opening season of hockey.. I honestly think the whole "dream team" Miami heat with Lebron and Wade claiming they were hte best rubbed alot of people wrong.

[QUOTE="FPSunionOWNS"] lol, if he was a wide reciever i really think any qb could lob it up to him and he could out jump everyone and get the touchdown. Add a goal post slam dunk and we got a fans pouring into stadiums

About the same effect as Jordan in the MLB. Lot's of hype with little actual performance.

Should help attendance though. Hell I'd pay to see Ray Lewis flatten his conceited ass.

He tried out for the White Sox, played a few Spring Training games, but then he was sent down to the Minor League Barons.

So technically he never played in a regular season MLB game, but the White Sox and Barons definitely got some use out of his name.

More importantly, could he handle being treated like a rookie and a player in a game where he is not even close the best in. Could he handle being put as back up second string? I would say no. Furthermore he is in a sport of physical monsters, he is not going to be the fastest or the biggest on the field.

[QUOTE="Pirate700"]

[QUOTE="FPSunionOWNS"] Everyone is acting like lebron is a small fragile guy, i mean maybe he has no expierience in the nfl but he is a physical monster and im sure he could take a hit from any linebacker in the league.

By no means did I mean that he is fragile...the guy is huge, but he's never taken a hit from an NFL player before...that's a world of difference from bumping into some guy on the court. Sure he could adapt to it, but if the rumor is true he's would be going into the NFL without any serious preparation. No college football, no training camp, etc. Like I said I'd pay to see his royal conceitedness get his butt kicked.

Messiahbolical-

.......... Lebron would never make corner back he is too big, or wide reciever he is too slow.. His 40 yard dash some one already pointed out is actually quite slow for the position your talking about.. And are you SERIOUS about the quarterback and punter/kick off? THose are skill positions in which you have to be gifted in throwing the ball or kicking it, just because he is big and strong doesn't some how mean he has a good arm or leg for that.. He may have been a exceptional football player if he went down that route, but he didn't.. He is not going to some how magically turn into a amazing football player by going into it.. SOrry that doesn't happen.

It's just talk and twitter, nothing more. He's too valuable to Nike. They'd never let him take on the injury risk.

He wouldnt make it in a real sport without everyone d-riding him...seriously changing the traveling rules just because he cant quit doing it?

He probably could play in the NFL, but I'd rather have him in basketball. I feel like this has just been a distraction more than anything.

why would he risk major injury playing a rough sport like that when I assume he plans to go back to basketball.

He has the size and tools to be a good TE. Antonio Gates (6'4" 260 lbs) is a basketball player converted into a football player. Gates didn't even play college football. Marcedes Lewis is 6'6" 275 lbs and Lebron is probably faster than him.

Where did you take that survey saying that nobody cares about the NBA lockout. That sounds pretty stupid to me since the NBA is a widely popular league even outside the USA. YOU may not be a fan, but no need to shoot down a limping NBA league. :roll:

And you'd probably be surprised to realize that the "Big 3" brought in some of the highest ratings for the NBA in years. Maybe people were rubbed the wrong way, but clearly it couldn't stop them from watching.

Oh god no. He'd b**** and complain about players hitting him and no foul being called, fail to show up in the 4th quarter, and demand that he becomes the teams captain...tocool340

I seem to remember him not coming through in the 4th quarter of the NBA Finals; no clue where you picked those other two points from. Blind hatred?

Is Lebron the new Bo? Remember Bo??

First off, I don't think there'd be any real seriousness related to this topic but for argument sake.... LeBron would make a great nfl prospect as a tight end or receiver. All i have to say is Antonio Gates. He had no football experience I believe coming out of college as a basketball player and he pretty much tore up the league as soon as he got in the nfl and there's no reason why LeBron can't do the same. He has more size and more athletic ability than gates as a basketball player so it should translate football wise right? LeBron would be a scary match up for anyone covering him, its not even fair.... the man can jump crazy and at 6'8 250 pounds at that..... GrizzlyJuler

Speed on the court has little to do with speed on the field. He's too slow to be a WR even without pads on anyway. He's NBA fast. Not NFL fast.Pirate700
