On the flipside...

 

Burns was such a waste of a pick. A first rounder that can’t play every down on one side of the ball is such a waste. He needs to either bulk up so he can stop the run too or he’ll be a situational pass rusher his entire career

Why can't he play every down? I mean, our run defense isn't going to be able to get much worse than it already is.

I think it might be a little early to say that, but I wouldn't argue that his development probably wasn't handled very well this year.

Judging from Burns’ frame it’s going to take a couple seasons for him to bulk up and will take some dedication for sure. But we also can’t expect him to all of a sudden become a 4-3 Peppers.

4-3 , 3-4 I mean we don’t even know what defense we try to run judging from all the mismatched personnel.

      Sorsby and the supplemental draft

      By The Third Reich · Posted

      I read that Pittsburgh is a possibility.  I think of college QB studs who had some form of mental quirk yet tons of talent--but their issue made being a team leader difficult and it led to their demise--going back:  Jamarcus Russell, Art Schlichter, Jeff George, etc. I think people forget that the QB must not only have talent, but they must lead.

      I wish I knew more details, but the NIL money to 20-year olds combined with easy access to gambling sites is a side effect that these kids may not have considered.  To your point,A famous 2009 Sports Illustrated article titled “How (and Why) Athletes Go Broke” estimated that 78% of retired NFL players go bankrupt or face significant financial stress within two years of leaving the league.  I am guessing that ego and $$$ and the thrill of competition (most pro athletes love competition because they are the winners) makes it a powerful temptation.  Throw in the ease of gambling on your phone which is always in your hand, and I see your point x 10.

      Freeling got some reps at RT when they gave Moton a rest day--I sorta hope Freeling gets brought along slowly as you describe.  It would be better for him for reasons you provide.  We have a really good problem.
