Derrick Brown.. Its something about that Bama program where players come out not ready for the pro's or beat up their 1st few years in the league.   

The game is a lot easier when you are on a team with a two deep filled with 4 and 5 star talent. Alabama wins most games by being way more talented than the team in front of them. That rarely happens in the NFL.

Yeah, I think it's that. Football is tougher when you're not better than your team isn't more talented than your opponent at nearly every position.

The margins in college football are usually huge. The margins in the NFL are often minuscule.

This is foolish.. quinnen Williams was much more gifted than brown which is why he went much higher. Brown isn't the same caliber athlete as Williams. Brown might be better as a run stuffer.. but its not that big of a gap in their ability to get to the passer.. williams dwarfs brown in that area.. Give me Williams.

Comparing relative draft position in two different drafts is foolish.

While he probably won’t go as early in the draft, multiple NFL scouts told AL.com that they think Brown is an even better player than Quinnen Williams was coming out of Alabama last year.

Williams was the No. 3 overall pick in last year’s draft.

“If you want to make comparisons, most people think he’s better than Quinnen because he’s a bigger, more powerful man,” one NFL evaluator said. “And he’s got another year of seasoning under his belt coming into the NFL versus Quinnen who was very young. So I think people believe he’s a little bit more of a sure bet than Quinnen was last year. There aren’t a lot of flaws with him.”

I seen the two compared and it made my brain heat up some. Cause Im not a brown at #7 supporter...... BUT I think he is better than Q.Williams, whom went 3rd overall. I know its a different draft and all, but I thought others would get in discussion on this. Williams did test better, nearly everyone thats been tested has.  It had me like larry david

Everyone talks about how well Quinnen Williams tested, but he basically just ran a fast 40 for a DT. 4.82 is FAST for a DT. But his vertical was only 3.5" higher than Brown's. His broad jump was only 4" longer. Those were the only three drills he did. Meanwhile, Brown is 2" taller and over 20 pounds heavier.

This debate is getting stupid.. 

Ppl just don't want a DT so they make poo up to discredit Brown...

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      No. Physical tools alone aren't enough. There are plenty of examples of draft busts to support that. Aost all of them had the physical tools and that wasn't enough. But Bryce is a perfect example of the opposite. Absolutely elite intangibles aren't enough either. If you simply don't have the physical abilities all the football intelligence and work ethic in the world won't be enough to overcome it. Just look to the sidelines every Sunday. We call those people "coaches".

      As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it.

      If you plug Bryce onto the Pro Bowl roster you might have a chance to compete for a SB. If he's surrounded by top tier talent with a top tier defense on the other side, a field flipping punter, and a kicker good from 60+ you might have a chance. But that means you basically have to recreate Saban's Bama in the NFL and that's impossible... and Bryce couldn't win a championship in that environment either. What the Panthers didn't realize when they got so obsessed with his "PG mentality" was that what they were looking st was a "barely checks the box PG". The basketball equivalent of Bryce would be an undersized PG with marginal athleticism who can make the basic plays but adds nothing to the team in terms of elevating the overall team. Not a great shooter, not a great defender, not a great driver. Just a guy who can basically get you into the offense and be a matador on defense. Basically a placeholder while you look to upgrade the PG position.
