I was going to say his career has been more like this Deebo.  Thinking Deebo Samuel is too much for me believe.  If that were a remote possibility the Jags would have kept him. It's really ridiculous to think that's even possible.

Not sure the Jags system did much to facilitate this.  Deebo Samuel was not a Deebo-type player until the Niners found a way to use him.  A Deebo-type player is a hybrid, larger player who can go from back to receiver and create mismatches.  That was my point.  Did not say he was going to be as good as Deebo, for the record

Yeah because the Jags know what they're doing!

Yeah I just don't see that in him but I sure hope McAdoo makes this worth the time and effort.  This kid plays more like a TE to me. He better hit the jugs machine if he wants to stay here because we already have a hybrid that can't catch.

It always confuses me when we trade with a bad team and people complain about how we're trying to "emulate" said team, or go dumpster diving for bad teams' scraps.  Like...would you feel more confident that we "won" a trade with a smart and successful organization like the Steelers or Chiefs?  Or with a dysfunctional franchise like the Jaguars or Browns?  I'd be a lot more skeptical if we were trading with a good team that was willing to part with a young talented player.

Duke Johnson Jr is a good example. Just got dropped by the Bills. Talented hybrid back whose prime was wasted on Cleveland's worst seasons and has never been utilized properly IMO

He was running well against our D Friday night, dunno if that's good for him or bad for us

Yeah, good teams don't make bad trades usually. Bad teams do. They are exactly who you should trade with as they keep changing coaches and systems and players every 2 or 3 years

I'd be...skeptical 🤔

Me too. I forgot to use the sarcasm font.

      Trevin Wallace - PFF Breakout Nominee

      You're not understanding what I'm saying. I'm saying that truly elite players will always have a market because they're elite difference makers and that at the "devalued positions" the NFL has discovered that those are spots where unless you have an elite talent there you have an opportunity to get similar results out of run of the mill talent for run of the mill money compared to good talent for good money. The drop off in overall unit performance isn't dramatic dropping down from "good" to "JAG" and it saves money to invest in the premium positions. It's about skill sets and what is hardest to find, simple supply and demand. There's just more serviceable LBs and RBs and safeties out there than their are CBs and pass rushers and QBs. And honestly, a big part of our historic lack of consistent success has been investing too many premium draft and cap resources into those devalued positions. Yeah, we've had a lot of great off the ball LBs and RBs on our way to be a franchise with an overall losing record. Pointing to our success at those positions is proving my point because I just point to our W-L record and overall lack of historical quality at premium positions like QB, WR, CB, etc. We've sucked in large part because we've valued the wrong position groups. In a vacuum it doesn't matter. But in actuality every high pick or big chunk of cap you spend on an off the ball LB or RB or IOL is a high pick or big chunk of cap you couldn't spend on a QB or CB or WR or OT.

      Right before Kuechly retired, we had some of the worst D line play that year.  We were ranked 29th against the run in 2019.   I remember even Kuechly struggled to get off the blocks at times because the linemen were on second level so quickly due to our porous line made up of Kyle Love, Vernon Butler and a washed up Gerald McCoy.
