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.

    • if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying 
    • So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
