Nope. He is a bust. We need people who perform. If we want a project we can draft one for much cheaper 

Let's get one thing straight.. The pass rush problem won't be fixed just 1 way.. We can't just draft a rookie and think that it's fixed.. We need 2 maybe 3 new options at DE.. We let the position get old to quick and now we need to truly dump a versatile set of resources into the position.. That means not only draft one we need to spend some FA money as well..

If we aren't going to go big after the top line FA (Clark, Clowney, Flowers) Then we need to look at the 2nd and 3rd line FA defensive ends.. I'd rather go after a young guy who might be able to hit his peak with us like a Dante Flowers, than overpay for a older guy looking for 1 more big check..Like Ansah, Graham or Wake .

Answer this for me first: Why was he a bust?

Then, is it fixable?

Then, how cheap can we get him? 

This.

Eric Ebron was a bust for the Lions but was second in the league in TD receptions this year for the Colts.

Evan Mathis was a bust for us but went on to be an All-Pro for the Eagles.

Most busts never bounce back, but some do. For a contract with minimal risk I'm always willing to give a talented guy a shot unless there's significant off-field reasons not to. If it doesn't work out, just part ways. All about risk vs. potential reward and right now we're in the situation with our DL that we need to be throwing all the mud at the wall that we can because we have to find something to stick.

After 3 years in the league, dude is still only 255.

Some of y'all sure like to see 4-3 DEs that put their hands in the dirt get dominated by OTs.

We need pass rush help more than anything else right now. If he can only be a situational pass rusher who could help on obvious passing downs that's fine.

Dude is not going to sign with anyone who wants him to play "situationally".

Plus, undersized "situational" 4-3 DEs get dominated as easily as undersized "every down" 4-3 DEs.

    • It’s a fan message board. Fans are going to debate players. Especially the QB. I hope no one is genuinely upset about any of the dialogue on here. 
    • Teddy Bridgewater was a check down QB….saying that doesn’t mean that he literally can’t and won’t throw downfield in a season.  Bryce Young was never drafted to be big armed downfield passer.  I don’t get those out defending him when it’s pointed out that he just  isn’t that.   And finding a game or two where he goes downfield doesn’t change much.  Because all QBs eventually go downfield.  Just like a Delhomme or Favre will play it safe in some random games.  Doesn’t mean they aren’t gunslingers that got gambling in their DNA. 
    • Yeah, Fitzgerald was smart to sign with the panthers--not sure how many NFL teams were in the Market....I was surprised to see Morgan re-sign Tuttle and Ray--even if Ray's contract is completely unguaranteed--but with Brown, Wharton, Brown III, Robinson, Cam Jackson--maybe Crumedy--Tuttle could be excellent depth--but at DE, not DT, imo.  Once again, it appears that Morgan may have found UDFAs who have a shot making the team--last year, there were 2 who contributed in a meaningful way.  This year, I see CBs Thornton and Reid with a legitimate shot to make the roster.  I also think LB Nomura has a legit shot (Morgan has to love this guy) as well as LB Bam Martin Smith from USC.  Finally, I think one of the safeties will stick. In all, I expect 1-2 CBs, 1 LB, 1 S, 1 OL, 1 K to make this team. Predictions:   CBs Thornton and Reid make the 53-man roster.  LB Tuasivi Nomura makes the 53-man roster as a ST ace and ILB depth OL Michael Tarquin may make the roster to groom as a potential RT replacement for Moton.  Moton, BC, and Nijman are on expiring contracts.  While I like what I am hearing about Kandra, the OG room is very crowded.  Lewis, Hunt, Zavala, Kingston--but he could compete for the 4th G job. S:  Trevian Thomas, Isaac Gifford are probably the front runners, but Jack Henderson from Minnesota might be able to win a S spot as well.  I expect all three will not make the 53, but the darkhorse name to watch is Henderson. Henderson's Pro day: Minnesota DB Jack Henderson had arguably the BEST overall workout of any Safety in this entire draft: 40yd. 4.47 vertical. 40” Broad. 10’8” Shuttle. 4.15 3cone. 6.70 Bench. 12
