Revisiting Brown vs Simmons...

[micnificent28]

Just because the game is on I thought I would spark up an age old debate. I like to think most people wanted Brown but Simmons had a lot of support. I like to think it was 60/40 split. I was in the Simmons camp, I will concede Brown has been pretty solid. A force in the run game and will occasionally get those coverage sacks.

Simmons started off very slow wit h a staff that had no idea what to do with him but he turned it on late. Has proven to be a versatile chess piece whom many said we got the poor man's Simmons in Chinn(they booth look equal to me) so hindsight and all who would you rather have?  

Yes I know Chinn makes it look like we made the right decision but also Simmons plays more like a linebacker rusher than Chinn who plays more safety coverage lb specialist. They are both chess pieces but not in the exact same mold. Have at it.

We made the right choice based on our need. Real question to me would be is if we passed on Herbert if he fell to 8

Brown was a good pick but man I wish Herbert would have fell.

We honestly got robbed two years in a row, we’d have taken Herbert over Brown and Sewell over Horn.

Herbert wasn't available to us so it's kinda irrelevant...

We have Reddick.

To me, they were just about carbon copies of each other.

Having both of them here now would be pretty cool but they didn't seem to wreak havoc together in AZ.

It feels like Simmons just picked up where Reddick left off.

Not sure reddick is like Simmons as Simmons can play safety and cover... reddick is mostly a pass rusher..

You don’t draft a “run stuffing” DT that isn’t capable of being a threat rushing the passer with the 7th overall pick.

We easily could’ve traded up with Detroit or especially NYG to get Herbert. Rhule was so confident in Teddy Bridgwater so he didn’t.

Ask Zach Wilson about his pass rushing abilities.

Did you just become a Panthers fan? Does KK Short ring a bell?

Yeah, five weeks before you joined up and started whining about everything Panthers related.
