LOL his career high was in 2017 with 9.5. besides 2018 his highest is 6. He's been finessing folks since the Michigan play!!!! Fraudulent 

I was one of the idiots who questioned Pep's drive/work ethic back in the day. He was so physically domineering he just HAD to be able to be better. Even when he was dominant. 

I thought the same about Clowney's drive. But, then you see the way he plays the run. One of the best in the game before last season. 

It can't be coaching, because he's played for damn near all of em at this point. I don't get it. 

He is clearly a physical freak. And a player who is just loafing it doesn't rack up run stops. And yet...

Only thing I can think of, without having seen a ton of him since he left the Texans is that I know he lined up all over the front 7 while in Houston, including a lot of snaps on the interior and/or ending up rushing inside because of stunts, and they dropped him in coverage quite a bit too.  Obviously, rushing on the interior isn't advantageous for guys primarily built to rush from the edge, so I think scheme has contributed it some...  but, I agree, his numbers overall have been very disappointing as a pass rusher.

He also had a pretty bad knee injury, don't know if he ever really recovered.

I dont know why links didnt work in the first one, but these are just Nelson removing Clowneys' soul for most of the game. Nelson doesnt have Clowney gifts, but in the NFL work matters.

And that has what to do with NFL news???

Nothing. Generally speaking, however, a forum made up of hundreds of millions of people has at least a tiny chance of having some legitimate people wishing to remain anonymous spill some beans here and there.  NFL news being leaked on reddit is not unprecedented at all.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
