Gerald McCoy Best DT in NFL?

The problem with McCoy is health. It doesn't matter how good you are if you aren't on the field. Right now you could say he is top 3. I'm 100% sure Suh is #1 by a long shot then I guess an argument could be made for #2 but in going with Geno.

This Star vs McCoy stuff is stupid.  Star is on one of the best defensive lines in the NFL.  McCoy isnt which makes what McCoy does even more impressive since he most likely get doubled teamed each snap.   Now with that said I am impressed with Star and he will only improve but this pissing contest reminds me of 2003 of Sapp vs Jenkins.

Opinions on this matter may be very different after our game this Sunday. McCoy has unquestionably shown more and seems to have more confidence than ever going into week one.The fan in me hopes we can call McCoy a scrub come Monday... and we can call Star better than Jenkins. But the fan in me is pretty homer.

McCoy had 9.5 sacks from the DT spot.....on a team that sucked playing from behind with no talent around him on the line.

That is absurd

Can't compare him to a 3-4 NT like Wilfork....neither could do the others job S well. McCoy is the best 43 DT

I know what you mean.. but us getting reaching #2 status in run defense last season,  had a lot to do with everyone pulling their weight and being on the same page.                 Star is a great anchor,  but if the other guys didn't take advantage of him being a great anchor,  his ability would have been wasted...while he watched the team fall apart around him.    

 

Valid points. We are fortunate to have good depth.  However Star is the best DT on the best DL in the league.

 

Star's versatility alone make him a better DT then McCoy to me.  No matter what McCoy does he's a 4-3 DT.  Star could play it in a 4-3 or a 3-4 at a high level.

True....but we didn't become one of the best DL's until after Star showed up.  He makes everyone around him better.

Im taking Star 10 out of 10 times over McCoy.  We don't need to fear him as much as they need to fear Star.

Gerald McCoy is the best 3 tech in the NFL with Atkins right there with him.  Suh is a great player but hes not on their level.  As for your comment, don't be ridiculous.  No matter what happens in this game score wise, McCoy will let it be known that he and Star, while a good player, are not in the same league.

Don't forget....Star was pretty much the consensus #1 overall pick when he was entering the draft. He only fell bc of a heart concern...

If he takes a step forward this year off of what he did last year.....McCoy may be better but he wouldn't be in a different league. We will see if Star progresses.....which happens with most young studs

    • Right...I think they've done really well. No one's going to bat 1000% but they've addressed areas of need and there's no comparison to the overall talent of the team now than when DC and then Morgan got the reigns. This whole season is about seeing how much of a step up can Bryce and this team make. If Bryce can't and last year is as good as it gets for him then at least we have a talented roster for the next guy. I think we're going to be good this season 
    • I said could, not would. I recognize he has potential based on past performance. Compared to what KP has done, Howell has more potential and the physical traits to make noise. KP has small hands and a weak arm. Not something you want in even your backup QB.  I've been hammering since last off-season before we re-signed Dalton, improve the room. Other than getting younger, I don't see how anyone can say we legitimately improved the room or even tried. We might as well have signed Josh Rosen.  Dalton is still on the roster for now. That's 3 QBs unless we trade or cut him. He's still Bryce's mentor after all. Do you believe we are going to draft someone with potential and give them a legitimate opportunity to develop from the practice squad? Are we going to carry 3 QBs on the active roster? 4 for a developmental rookie? Are we going to potentially cut KP if we draft a rookie and he's outperformed? Doubtful. Cutting Dalton(if we can't trade him) and KP would be 8m in wasted cap space.  I chose Howell as an example because he showed promise in his only full season as a starter. You could plug in another name with the physical traits and potential and what i said would still apply. KP showed almost nothing and was benched. I genuinely don't care if it’s rookie pick as long as there is the potential to develop into a future NFL QB.  As much as I can't stand him, Bellichek was always developing a number 2 QB even with the GOAT as his starter. The wisdom of that was evident when Cassell came in when Brady was hurt week 1 and went 11-5 and almost made the wildcard, which 11-5 gets you almost any other year. I give credit where it's due though. Cassel and Jimmy G both came into the league as developmental QBs, potential QB1s, and went on to have careers.  You never know if you never try. KP feels like a punt in addressing the most important position on the field. Bryce has never played 2 full games of franchise QB level football back to back.  If Bryce progresses, are you ready to offer a 280m 5 year extension based off a one hit wonder year? If Bryce regresses and we need a QB in 27, are we going to trade a fortune away again to trade up to 1 to get one? Are you ready to do the past 3 years all over again?  To me, it's not about Kenny Pickett. It's about the move itself. It was a feeble attempt to improve the QB room. We better hope Bryce succeeds, because if he doesn't, we literally have no backup plan right now.   
    • IOL that early isn’t good value at all. We have a LT who might not ever be good again and a RT that might retire soon. T seems deep early in this draft, so I’d go there in the 1st.
