I looked for this guy to break out two years ago, and I'm still waiting.  

He's played with decent talent before also,  so I'm just not a believer. At this point I'd rather bet that one of our young guys will be more productive.

Are you basing that off his sack total or do you get a chance to watch all of his games?

I’ll be honest I haven’t watched many of his games at all.

Would be nice to find a released DE, wouldn’t affect our comp picks.  Also, not sold on the draft this year for them.

We need to do something about DE for sure but I agree Idon’t think Curry is an answer. If Peppers comes back we should be fine for this year and then 2019 will surely be a better draft class for 4-3 ends than this year but if Pep doesn’t come back we’re in rough shape at the position...

I don't think we need more stopgaps at DE. We need developmental guys for the future. Peppers (assuming he comes back), Addison, Horton, and hopefully Hall with a year under his belt should be a really solid DE rotation. What I'm worried about is that none of these guys are the future. Peppers will be coming back for his farewell tour if he comes back, Addison will turn 31 early this coming season himself, and Horton is a rotational guy who will turn 29 this season himself. I think we're okay in the present, but the future at DE is very much cloudy.

Curry is much better than his stats. Eagles rotate guys out a lot and he lost playing time with Barnett being in the mix this year and played about half the defensive snaps although he was the "starter". Really good run stopper, one of the best on the team for tackles for a loss, gets lots of pressure on QB's, etc. 2 years ago he dealt with an MCL sprain.  

He would be a good fit here if the price wasn't outrageous and if he doesn't restructure with the Eagles (he is a from the area and grew up an Eagle's fan). 

I think DE will turn out to be bigger need here than some others do and Vinny would be a very good addition.

Honestly,  yes I am basing it off sack totals, and his are low. He gets pressure,  but never seems to be able to finish the deal.  I would hope that a rotational guy who plays in the range of 50 percent of the snaps would be able to ultimately put the QB on the ground,  but it hasn't happened for him.  To be fair,  he has had to put up with Chip Kelly not being a believer and his stats did take a hit because of even less snaps, but the current administration had ostensibly put him in a better position to succeed,  but 2016 was a down year,  but 2017 was pretty good...for pressures. So, as long as the expectation is for pressures and him being a rotational guy,  then fine.  I wouldn't pay him more than 5 or 6 mil per year for that though. As far as I'm concerned, in effect Curry has played the Addison role in Philly when you boil it down to the bottom line,  but without Addison's results.

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
