How did Prado do in his 1st AMA 450 MX season again? Oh yea, he quit..
I mean sure, by all means fact that a 450 rook is compared to a 2 time MXGP champ clearly means Deegan sucks.
Those are good stats 👍
This crowd just invents these far out and bogus stats just to argue against Deegan.
Either way, he did excellent in his rookie season.
"Either way, he did excellent in his rookie season."
Deegan did good, better than many people expected, but the bench mark for excellent is a lot higher...
Eh, I just don’t want to go down that road

Haiden did great in his first season, it's just impossible not to judge him against his own hype machine/MMA style pre season talk if you don't like that stuff. Hopefully he learns that the stakes are higher for talking smack 24/7 in the 450 class.
Haha if if…. If Jett and hunter didn’t race and Adam C was back K Dub would have placed 2nd But maybe third… stupid shit
hard to argue with the benchmark for excellence.....can't have it both ways
Starts. Passes made. Passes lost. Crashes. All of those things are what the rider is in control of and responsible for.
A rider is not responsible for a mechanical failure.
If this championship was measured only on what the RIDER is responsible for, Jorge beats Deegan.
If ands and buts were candy and nuts…. The championship points are awarded for finishing position. Give it a rest.
same thing happened his rookie 250 season. People called it lack luster compared to the hype, wasnt going to win etc, Then turned into one of the most dominate 250 riders for sure.
Next year is a make or break year for him and his ego IMO.
Remember that moto Prado and Deegan both crashed/started last? Deegan got to 4th while Prado took it easy. Lots of ways to spin it. When it mattered and finished Deegan settled in at 3rd.
Yeah but he led laps his rookie year…
yes it is. If he gets smoked all SX and runs 3-7, his confidence is gonna be roasted. Then on to '27 MX it'll be a step back from this year assuming a healthy field. The last boss that Deegs is gonna have to beat is the one between his two ears...and it's gonna be TOUGH for him to line up and NOT tell himself to expect 3-7th....
Let’s also not forget how amazing jorges first US mx season went…. I don’t want to take away from Jorge, I’ve come around to him since the kawi days and he for sure is on it right now.
I think first 3/4 of the season deegan 100% was the better rider. Past couple rounds I gotta give it to Jorge. But overall I mean 3rd is 3rd.
Nice try but no. It was a complete failure given how he ran his mouth coming into the Nationals. He couldn’t stay within 30 seconds of the leaders in most motos.
the dangerboy benefitted from no dnf's this season.....Jorge and Hunter suffered one each. Hunta wins going away without his and Jorge finishes third without his.
that said both Jorge and the dangerboy were no match for the bros....
Just to reiterate, if it was anyone else, all these hateful raging posters would be talking on and on at how good he did. They’re just yelling at clouds
Deegan did excellent in his rookie season. 👍
Pit Row
LoL...keep telling yourself that.
What happened with that whole "RIP Jett" boast?
Rings pretty hollow after Dboy didn't lead a single lap all year long.
It'll no doubt be the same in 2027, in fact looks you'll be spinning this same nonsense until Dboy retires. Go find another hero that's worth your time.
I went back to a thread I made in January of this year about Prado. Some replies were about how he'd be a 3rd-7th place guy. One said he'll see a lot of LCQ's and be battling with McElrath. One said Prado is the least of Deegan's worries. Chase will come out with wins and podiums right away and make him look bad etc.
Then I come into this thread, and people are saying HD only got 3rd because of Prado's DNF.
I think it'll take 2 heat wins and an overall before the tide starts changing, or some people go silent.
What is it with you and excellent?
If he had a "perfect season" he would have done excellent.
If he won a moto or and over all, he would have done great.
He did neither of these things, he finished in the top 3, he did good.
Consistently this year, Haiden ran right up there with some of the greatest champions. An in-form Jorge and both brothers. No one in the rest of the field was even close, and it had strong guys. You ride that in your rookie season, the wins will come.
Also he will improve, he has the drive. He is fast, but with frantic intensity. He will learn smoothness and economy of physical effort. Also, the brothers may not be a factor sometimes for any of a number of reasons.
Talking 0 laps led, in 2023 Sexton actually went 0-22 with zero laps led (in his 4’th 450 season) against a rookie!
And Deegs is actually credited with 1 laps led 2026 (from holeshots to the line so not really valid but it is in the history books…)

Whatever…
Hey Noob, What was your previous user name here?
It’s pretty funny how raged out grown men are about a t shirt lmfao.
My opinion of Haiden would change 180 degrees if he approached Jett and Hunter, extended his hand, and said “you guys kicked my ass. Congratulations on an awesome season.”
You don't really sound like a "grown man", but if you are...why are you hanging from a freakin teenager's nut sack?
Pick another hero that's worth all this time you're putting in here.
You’re right. Anyone else would not have disrespected a fellow rider and his girlfriend like that and therefore wouldn’t be taking a bunch of crap for it.
”You reap what you sow” sort of situation.
It’s all good though. Gets him and his family a bunch of attention to monetize. Seems like they’re right where they want to be.
I’m not the one raging out about said teenager 🤣. Literally can’t imagine getting mad about a guy wearing a t shirt with mean words on it and then coming on a forum to vent about it an entire season.
You guys got a little chub anytime he got passed warming up your fingers to come say something about bedbugs.
Never been a fan of any Deegan. But Haiden did impress me with his thoughts on his bike and team. He said he struggled with the bike but ultimately thats his fault. He’s the one that gives the team feed back and they are working their ass off to make it to his liking. So he would go out and give 100% every moto. It’s the only redeeming quality I see in the kid. Prados answer was to quit and be a lil Bitch. Chase was headed there as well.
