Would you be willing to send a 7th rounder to the pats for Obi? I remember everyone wanting him in the draft a couple years back, he’s an athletic freak and could definitely be depth at safety. With the chance at developing into a FS. New England seems willing to trade him, I think it’s worth a shot low risk high reward. We are really the only team that could offer him a chance to truly develop, and we could reap the rewards. I know people are scared to trade with the pats, but this is a situation which limits what we lose.

You think a guy with 3 career tackles and 2 games played is the answer at FS??? Look, I don't think the answer is on the roster at FS either but....seriously?

Never called him the answer, but I do believe he is a better option then anyone on our roster currently. I’d rather have someone with upside then players who have no shot at being anything, even if the panthers traded for him there’s still a need at FS. Which would be filled hopefully soon, but Obi is solid depth and like I said he could maybe develop.

While I would do this trade, Obi is a clear SS not FS and hasn’t worked out at all up till now. Probably wouldn’t work out and def not the answer at FS

He probably is a SS currently, but he is a converted CB. And did play a decent amount of FS in college, and he definetly has the range to play it. Only issue is clearly mental processing and recognizing coverages. Obi would be fun to develop at FS at the very least.

      Lowest Yards Per Completion...All Time.

      By TylerDurden · Posted

      Russ worked.  I still vote Doug Flutie as a competent, sometimes really good starter when he came back from the CFL - and I maintain, I think he could’ve been that without going to the CFL, part of why he didn’t was because of the stigma the NFL has against smaller QBs to begin with.  But, both Flutie and Russ had above average to excellent athletic traits - be it arm strength, strength, elusiveness, etc.  and Kyler could’ve been right up there with him if he cared about football as much as he does Call of Duty and streaming.     the difference between those guys and Bryce?  Again, Bryce has almost zero desirable athletic traits you would want in an NFL QB.  He is below average in every category. And then to boot, as you said, if you’re below average in EVERYTHING physical, you HAVE to be damn near the best mentally and processing - and he proved to be even subpar in that category.  All of that to say, I will NEVER understand what anyone in our organization saw in him to not only draft him, but to trade up to do so and then give him 3 whole years to stink it up.

      I think that plays a factor for LaMelo, among others. Obviously the biggest being that he just doesn't seem like a guy that will ever be healthy long enough to build around. Also, he still has some maturity issues. He will just basically take himself out of a game every few weeks by losing his poo about some call and then piling up frustration fouls or TO's. I think that goes back to his dad. He always built those kids to focus more on themselves than the game around them.   Okay, this was maybe the 4th game I have seen all or part of and I like him. Especially knowing that he wasn't a Lane Kiffin guy the whole time. That's a MASSIVE red flag for QB development. If he was available around the 3rd round or lower, I would absolutely be okay taking a flier on him. Promising prospect. Way more polished than someone like Malik Willis, IMO.
