Reuben Foster

Would there be a chance that we could make him be an outside linebacker? If Luke is healthy this year and for the near future idk how much playing time foster is going to get unless they play him on the outside.

Lol. I already watched some stuff on Foster. He doesn't seem like an upgrade over Shaq, TD, or Kuechly.

Here's a decent video comparing Kuechly and Foster; albeit the rambling:

You know what's his issue? Hesitancy. He waits to see what's going on in front of him, rather than trust his instincts. Luke Kuechly goes straight for the ball and trusts his instincts on the fly. Foster doesn't.

In fact, I do agree with the comment section when they have Zach Cunningham ahead of Foster. I truly believe Zach is the better LB in the draft. 

Foster just is far too hesitant for my taste like the guy in the video. He doesn't trust his instincts as well and lets his front dominate rather than do stuff.

This thread would have made more sense if the Argument for drafting foster was because we don't know what we are going to have with Luke moving forward. Not about replacing shaq. 

Foster has numerous concussion issues as well, and hasn't even took a snap as professional player yet.

I question Shaq's limited usage.  His value should be in the fact we can leave him on the field during nickel situations, but that often doesn't happen.  Considering our struggle with cornerback play this year, Shaq should have seen more snaps.  Ultimately out of the snaps I've seen him play, I'm not confident he can be a star linebacker.  Maybe we won't need him to be a star linebacker such as TD, but if that is what we're expecting him to be or to have a significant level of impact on a game, I'm not seeing it

Staying on the field during nickel downs is quite possibly if not unequivocally the reason he was drafted.

Hes a hybrid that can play LB full time.  He just happens to be behind the GOAT and GOAT jr.  It's not Shaqs fault we have a wealth of talent but it's great for his developement.

Think Favre/Rogers, Montana/Young.

You really set yourself up for an ass reaming with this stupidity.

This was one of the worst and misinformed threads I've ever seen

Foster is a great player but we have too many other needs to spend the 8th pick in the draft on a LB

This is exactly what everyone said the last two drafts and guess what happened? LB and DT. 

All you guys saying Fournette are going to be massively dissapointed when DG picks up a CB in round 1 and 2 and double dips at DT in the 3rd just to piss you off 

If anything, drafting In the top 10 will just encourage Gettleman even more to stick to his BPA.

I just wish him and the organization would do on offense stacked draft for once. Have a fuging star mvp caliber QB and you do almost nothing to help him put besides drafting a couple big slow ass recievers .

By this same logic we should have moved on from Thomas Davis after year two, right?
