About this Star v Short BS


Doc Holiday

Recommended Posts

Short is the better Player, pure and simple. He was the correct choice to keep if you had to pick between the two.  Anyone else besides me notice that our Defense fell apart after he went on IR? that's not a coincidence the presence that KK brought to the D-line was sorely missed the moment we lost him. Our Defense pretty much went from Elite to garbage with that one loss this season.

Star is today what he has always been, a big immovable run stuffer in the middle that gets the occasional QB pressure. His purpose has forever been to eat up 1-2 blockers and not move, and open lanes for the Linebackers. he has done nothing but that his entire career,  when your defense knows the offense isnt gonna get any push up the middle because he is there that is a great weapon to have.

Ideally we would have kept both, but we had to choose because of the Colossal mistake that was the Matt Kalil contract, which was David Gettleman's fault.  Hurney pretty much had to choose between the lesser of two evils and he chose wisely in keeping Short.

Short sucks!!! Star is the better player. Short is a stats player. Star is the kind of players that make everyone around him better. There’s a reason why Star was the 14th pick in the draft and would’ve went higher if not for his heart condition. Short went in the 2nd for a reason. He lived off Star’s impact on the dline and had “one”, “1”, “uno” fuggn good season!

I assume you laugh at your own “jokes” since no one else does?

I never joke, I’m always 100% serious and the internet is a super serial place! 
 

also fua it’s no secret you pretty much hate me and have for a while.

the difference between me and you is I never cared about your opinion but you care about mine. Don’t ask me why. Maybe it’s because my responses and opinions are more thought out and balanced than your general run of the mill super sensitive reactionary posts on here.

I don't think Short sucks but I think any run of the mill DT that plays the type of DT Short plays could generate Sacks playing next to Star because Star creates chaos by clogging it all up

Not to say you're wrong or you're right, but I just checked Buffalo's DT's and Jordan Phillips, drafted 2 drafts later than Short but in the same round (2) had 9.5 sacks playing next to Star this year, so there is some anecdotal evidence to support the notion. Also that's 9.5 sacks this season with a career total of 15, so getting more production this year than the rest of his career combined.

Doesn't really matter if you have Peanut Butter and Jelly without the Bread

    • The Falcons have 2 significant offensive line injuries to start the 2025 season. Right tackle Kaleb Mcgary (who is the blindside protector for Penix since he is left-handed) is going to miss significant time, and it's looking more like it may be all season. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/falcons-expect-kaleb-mcgary-to-miss-significant-time https://x.com/BKsquared7/status/1959285822236107013. Also, the top backup and swing tackle, Storm Norton (cool name BTW) is having ankle surgery and may miss half the season. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/falcons-ot-storm-norton-out-6-8-weeks-after-ankle-surgery I don't root for injuries, but its also hard to be too sympathetic given how badly injuries have hit us in recent years. We definitely need to get that W in week 3 for our home opener at BOA. Despite our collective frustration at not being able to attend TC and then having boring preseason games, ultimately the most important objective of the preseason is to enter Week1 healthy, and we have at least done that. Hopefully the depth we think we have at Oline either shines through or isn't needed. Many other teams are in a bad spot with their offensive lines before the season even starts. For once, we aren't in that situation.
    • That roster was billed as a super smart and strong unit for a young QB….until he sucked though.   it didn’t have superstars but it had proven vets that checked well all the safe boxes and it was universally agreed the Panthers were putting him into position to succeed. BY just doesn’t fit a traditional O because he isn’t built like a traditional QB.  And he still doesn’t.   CJ Stroud would have had more success here than Bryce with that cast.   CJ just has the tools that fit the NFL more easily.  Young can find success but I have always argued it would take a Bryce centric plan (which we have never attempted IMO) 
    • looks like the Lions and Bangles should forget about the playoffs, trade everyone they can, and start over.
