Is Cillian O'Connor Mayo's greatest ever?

Shrewdness · June 17, 2015, 10:42:07 AM

In one of today's papers, ex Mayo footballer David Brady, states that in his opinion, Cillian O'Connor is the greatest player he has seen playing for Mayo.. So, how does everyone feel about that in Mayo particularly. Imo, it's Ciaran Mc Donald.

Kenneth Moritimer would get my vote.

Is Cillian O'Connor even the best player on the current Mayo panel? Keith Higgins? Aidan O'Shea?

Personally, I think Higgins is the best player on that panel.

And I'm not saying O'Connor is not a good player. Of course he is.

In 10 years time O'Connor may be the greatest Mayo player ever, but lets give him a few years first?

Brady says whatever comes into his head. Cillian is a great player, I'd leave it at that. He's 23 ffs.

He will never be anywhere near as good as McDonald.

Whatever about O'Connor, Brady is certainly our greatest mouth ever.

He may not be the best player on the team, but it would be hard to argue against him being the most important

David Brady is the greatest bullshit artist to come out of Mayo.

The Mayo lads are gas.

Cillian is certainly a top-class player but he's still maturing and he has been banjaxed by injury since he began playing for Mayo.
He's a very skilful player alright but he doesn't have the speed off the mark to make him a great all-rounder like, say, James O'Donoughue. IMO, he matches the bould James in all other aspects of his game. I don't recall him ever going on a solo run.
He's vital to Mayo's chances of success but so too are AOS and Keith Higgins. Going by Sunday's display I'd give Aidan the MOTM award with Keith a close second and Cillian after that.
With a bit of luck, his best days are still to come but, right now, he can do without the hype.
