Willis began his career at Auburn and couldn’t become the starter. The competition on the defensive side is the offensive equivalent.

Willis couldn’t start at Auburn and Burrow couldn’t at OSU. Haskins got the nod over him so he transferred. Coaches overlook talent all the time. Hell Brady almost transferred from Michigan because he wasn’t starting his first couple years.

When a team like Liberty is playing against a team like Ole Miss, the talent on offense and defense isn’t equal.

It may be.

Just a reminder though that decisions like that can sometimes come back to haunt you.

For sure yeah, but at the time Brees just had shoulder surgery and it wasnt degenerative like Strongs knee.  Miami should have signed him but at the time he failed like 2 physicals because of his shoulder and wanted a ton of money from miami.  At least that is how I remember it

Where did you read Strong’s knee is degenerative?

Oh ok just guessing then. I haven’t read it anywhere, just curious. 

Not really a guess as he is getting a cadaver cartilage in his knee which tells me it arthritic and degenerative.    Adding to the fact that his knee already has scar tissue and it swells during the season I just think once this stuff is looked at during the combine he is going to drop like a rock.

There is a doctor’s opinion on it. It was a 70% tear that usually takes 2 surgeries to clean up. The swelling is common and expected from early stresses of playing. She thinks the longevity of the knee is pretty high. It will get the full treatment of when the NFL doctors give it a look. 
 

Strong’s knee and Pickett’s hand size will definitely give us some answers soon.

I don't necessarily have strong opinions about Strong, but this story does remind me a little of that time when the Dolphins were too worried about a certain quarterback's shoulder to sign him.

I've forgotten his name. I think it was Drew something 😐

Drew had played and had some measure of success in the NFL. Also, almost no one in the NFL would touch Brees because his injury was considered so severe the likelihood of him ever playing again was considered low(much more serious than a standard shoulder injury). 

Strong's injuries are going to be scrutinized because of players like Todd Gurley(huge red flags coming into the NFL) and also he is already am extremely immobile QB in a league where mobility is becoming more important.

There is a lot of speculation in that article.  But the big thing to me is the doctor is comparing the surgery to non nfl players.  What is considered a success or if the knee will "hold up" is drastically different for a guy thats going to play professional football.

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      By Swaggasaurus · Posted

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
