Three young perennial pro bowlers on defense?

Now just think how much better the defense will be without Tre Boston 

I'm going to go out here on a limb and defend Tre. He's been playing well and he's been around the ball on every play throughout the year and has been at his best when he's been positioned and played aggressively by the scheme. The guy has given veteran leadership back there and has shown a willingness to not only be part of the pass defense but an active participant in the run defense and has been a better tackler this season than most of his career.

The guy catches a lot of hate on here, but sh!t the guy has been playing hard and making an impact. Really, evaluate the man for what he's doing on the field rather than making some unfounded hot take based on an easy to spot player. The guy is playing safety, not corner, and he's been pretty good at roving the field and making plays.

Guy plays hard and generally is above average. Sure, he's whiffed on a couple of tackles and people here act like he misses every tackle. It's easy to pick on one glaring mistake and ignore the general body of work. For whatever reason, some guys just become punching bags for this forum without a lot of rationale. Probably related to general frustration.

    • Are you arguing that his height deficiencies and footwork within the pocket have not been a present issue clearly seen on his game tape particularly in the games he struggled in? Because that's simply denying what everyone in this fanbase who have watched the games have seen. It's interesting how hardline BY fans here quickly and effortlessly pivot from whailing about being victimized to becoming the aggressor and hurling out allegations of bias and hatred. And at the end of the day while Bryce Young clearly improved significantly from the first two games of the season the reality of the situation is he still finished 42nd in yards per pass attempt behind Mac Jones and tied with Caleb Williams and 38th in passing yards per game behind the likes of Gardner Minshew Aidan O'Connell Drake Maye and Will Levis. Furthermore it took Bryce Young 23 games to surpass Panthers legend Kyle Allen's 13 games worth of passing yardage in 2019. So if your argument is he became a head and shoulders better passer over the course of the second half of the season the reality is we're still waiting to see that growth this season. And there is nothing controversial or vitriolic about saying so in the mind of a rational
    • Cam regularly threw for less than 200 yards and nobody questioned he was elite. He averaged 219 yds per game for his career.  You seem to be way too hung up on yards as a stat.  By that definition Jameis Winston should have been MVP by now. 
    • So... what metrics for production do you believe display these issues/limitations best? Are we only using total passing yards, height, and weight thresholds? If so, then what are those thresholds?
