What do we think of Brian Baldinger's nickname for Derrick Brown, El Toro The Bull?

Just really noticed it. I don't think its bad. Will it stick?

Sidenote: I love baldies  breakdowns... look forward to them every week they get me hype for the future of this young defense. He is also very high on Obada.

Baldinger seems one of the few talking heads on tv who truly loves the game, does great analysis that is on target and not mostly BS.  To me, this earns him the right to hand out some nicknames. I hope this one sticks because on top of his great analysis, I think it's a pretty good nickname.

You starting to warm up to Brown yet?

I mean my opinion is the same. He will always be a good player because of his strength. Great at the point of attack. I don't think he will every impact the passing game at an elite level because that's not his game. He is a more one dimensional guy which if your not routinely getting to the passer thats expensive for a top 7 pick.

Hard to hate a guy that is dominate in one aspect of what he does so it a push for me. He's like Shaq Thompson to a degree. He isn't a bad player at all but is he the big nickel defender that was suppose to shut down tight ends? Did we over pay for shaq? Yes. Hes a starter tho.

      NFL is slam full of bias and idiots….who pretend things are super complicated.  Like everywhere else. They generally aren’t complicated.  Bad decisions get made because of ego and idiots.  Bryce Young didn’t fit Frank and didn’t fit Dave.  It’s not rocket science.  It’s legos. why didn’t Baker work here? Well, he wasn’t allowed to be Baker and he was never given the team to be Baker.  Sam IMO was largely Sam and given the opportunity to be it.   DJ Moore just isn’t the last 2 WRs Sam has been paired with

      At least Clausen had a decent arm....

      The funniest thing about Clausen after his Panthers career is that he somehow ended up on the Bears with Fox as the coach and had to start a game when Jay Cutler got hurt. He threw for 63 yards that game which they lost 26-0 and where they punted 10 times.

      I don't always like judging a QB glass from this far out level.    It's all about finding the specific prospect.  The guy that just fits what you're looking for.   In order of selected (top drafted pre-Bryce)- 2017: Trubiski, Mahomes, Watson, Kizer 2018: Mayfield, Darnold, Allen, Rosen, Lamar 2019: Murray, Daniel Jones, Haskins 2020: Burrow, Tua, Herbert, Love, Hurts 2021: Trevor, Z Wilson, Lance, Fields, Mac Jones 2022: Pickett It's all peppered in.  The ones that tend to hit are well structured teams, who know who they are, identifying a guy that just fits them and they are confident in their skills and development.  Less pressure, set environment, sound decision based on a balance of things.     The ones that fail are when it's a crap team, at the top, taking a QB because they simply need one.  Their entire offseason revolves around finding one.  That can sometimes work out (Cam, Luck), but mostly, it puts a pedestal on a guy and they can't live up to it (Trevor, Kyler, Mitch, etc.) and it's pressure cooker.   It's why I don't (A) care about who many wins we end up with and (B) who TF knows which of these guys ends up translating.  Maybe Mateer ends up lights out..who knows.
