Jason Shirley?

Hadn't heard of him, but he's young, fat... uhhhh, I mean big, as in HUGE, and he is now available. 23 years old, saw some game action last year and could probably be developed. I know the Bengals defense typically sucks, but if the big name-big guys are claimed off waivers before we can get to them, he seems like a reasonable pick up.

Yeah, thats the same guy. They moved him from DT to OLine. No thanks.

Yeah, I just looked it up and saw that too. Sucks, but he was considered a project to begin with at DT. And nfl.com still has him listed as a DT. He definitely would be a cheap option. There's obviously better guys to get, but if they're all gone, he's a big guy and that's what we need.

The guy has alot of talent. The only reason he made that switch is because the oline coach was desperate and begged them to let him have him. He didn't hesitate which shows a team mindset. I wouldn't mind cutting hayden and picking him up. Hell hayden is a project also why not have a chance to have 2 or more jenkins type dts.

    • Just to clarify: I'm not arguing that height or footwork can’t affect QB play. I'm asking how those concerns translate into measurable, consistent outcomes. That’s the standard we should be applying to all QBs, not just Bryce. If height is such a limitation, then we'd expect to see elevated batted passes or poor pressure evasion. Yet none of that shows up in the data. Bryce was one of the lowest in the league for batted passes and his 16.9 pressure-to-sack ratio is good enough for 9th out of all QBs with 300+ dropbacks. So if you believe footwork tied to height is a meaningful issue, what metric shows that because two that would aren't doing so? This isn't about denying flaws. It's about applying fair, consistent standards because otherwise we’re not evaluating performance which means that it's not analysis taking place... it's just going off of the vibes that somebody has consciously decided on. Citing one red zone play you remember doesn't provide that consistent standard. I don't say that to dismiss your memory, but to emphasize that anecdotal evidence (especially from an avowed skeptic) shouldn’t carry more weight than consistent tape or analytics. For example, there was recently dissonance over Bryce's deep ball accuracy where it was implied that he was inaccurate throwing 20+ yards. Yet, the data and film show otherwise. And I unfortunately have to still ask since you won't directly answer: What specific metrics do you believe matter when evaluating whether a QB is top-10? You've mentioned YPA and passing yards per game, and that's fair. If that's what you're prioritizing, then let's call that your criteria but clarity matters because it prevents moving goalposts when the data doesn’t match one's expectations. I appreciate the response and hope that your holiday weekend goes well also. ❤️
    • Me too. I got other things I can do. Tie it up 2-2 and I will be back, but Im tired of watching us get swept.
