Bears would have accepted Moore, Burns or Brown.

What have I missed on with either Burns or Brown? One is great at getting after the QB and is a liability in the run game. We’ve all seen teams abuse him from time to time by running at him. 
 

And on the flip side Brown had his best season but he’s a run stuffer right now who we would hope gets after the QB more. I didn’t say anything crazy about them. 

 

Burns was near the top at TFL among edge rushers. And Brown had more pressures than Aaron Donald. And we all know that pressure up the middle is the QBs worse enemy. 

 

Now those stats are from memory from an announcer during the last game of the year. But they stuck with me, because of the prevailing belief of their limitations around here. So, take it for what it's worth.

 

Again I say, let go of the past and embrace the future. Everything is more fun this way.

I personally can’t help but be worried when I look at Justin Fields college stats and  how strangely his career looks to CJ Stroud.  It’s bizarre the similarities there and Stroud isn’t a running QB like Fields.

Fields vs Clemson and Stroud vs Georgia.  It’s just weird.  Fields was incredibly accurate at OSU too

Alabama had 3 starting QBs in the NFL last year. One in the SB.

OSU had one QB, who finished with the worst record in football.

WR's are easier to find. As much of a DJ fan as I was, he would disappear quite often.  

DJ could rack up YAC but he always had a problem getting in the endzone, dating back to Maryland. He's been here around 5 years and barely cracked 20 combined. For reference, Thielen had 30 combined the last 3 years. And that'll likely be our slot guy. We've already upgraded in the TD department ...and I think at minimum another FA and a high draft pick are on the way. 

Burns: If you get a proven pass rusher you keep that pass rusher (See Reddick) ... you can't just bet on high draft picks to duplicate that production (See Yetur) 

Brown: Brown hasn't even hit his ceiling yet. We don't even know how dominate he can actually become. If he continues his trajectory he will be MONSTER. He played like Pro Bowler last season. Let's see what another year and better coaching can do.

Yea, I think DJ was the right choice. Just my 2cents.

Burns is not a liability in the run game. That’s a huddle myth. Since his second year he’s been decent at it, especially setting an edge to force RBs inside. 
 

Brown is not just a run stuffer, he’s a disrupter who allows everyone around him to be better. Top ten DTs don’t have to be pass rushing DTs, the guys like Brown and Star might not get the flashy stats themselves but they allow everyone around them to play better and that’s critical for a defense. Look at what our defense was like after Star left. Huge drop off (7th total defense, 3rd vs run in 2017, 15th total, 12th vs run in 2018). That’s mostly the loss of Star.  If we lost Brown teams could moonwalk for first downs.

Look at the QB's he had since he joined the team a washed Cam, Bridgewater, Darnold, PJ, Mayfield...

 

He was putting up 1000 yards with those QB's. Yes he is a true #1.

 

If the dude had a elite QB he would be talked about as a top 5 WR imo.

Top 5? lolol

So, defense is more important than offense to this Reich led coaching staff to set the foundation of the team. A coach who likes to load up on 2nd round picks to set up his roster in the first 2 years, loads up on defensive picks in the early rounds of the first 2 drafts (6 defensive and 1 offensive skill position in rounds 1 to 3) and skill position players on day 3 of the draft. Yet, the thinking is they want a QB with the #1 pick who is not a consensus #1 franchise QB from day 1.

No chance they stockpile 2nd round picks by baiting QB hungry teams and go after their top defensive player in the 2023 draft. Right?

If you are giving Bama credit for Hurts you have to give OSU credit for Burrow since he spent more time there.

Right. They are drafting a QB.

Fields and Stroud are two completely different QBs. Stroud is like Mr Fundamentals who has said he learned the position by watching Brees play. Fields is an elite athlete who can run over/around defenders while throwing a nice deep ball.

      Disturbing

      I can say that I have defended Canales because I get that they are doing all they can to keep from looking like idiots for drafting Bryce, from the trade up to signing $150m guards to drafting XL and Brooks etc---nothing seems to work.  And Hiring Canales was part of the Bryce Young rehab program, so so he can't really decide to "move on."  That has to come from Morgan and Tepper. Personally, I think Bryce is due for an injury.  He is small, he is not thick, and he has been a LOT more healthy than most any other QB has who has endured so much pressure.  The thing that bothers me is this---Bryce really does not go through his progressions quickly.  He locks on to his presnap read and stays locked onto him for too long--he seems to fail to anticipate the WR/TE's positioning on the play before the cut--for example, if the WR is running a dig and the CB has his back to the inside of the field, he should be open for a second or less just after the cut.  He seems to wait until the cut has been made before deciding, then checking down quickly while moving in the pocket. OL:  There seems to be a lack of communication--is that on Mays?  Watch this team presnap--they seem a bit confused at times.   I can almost predict the success rate of the play by watching the center and QB before the snap.

      Eric Collins Calling First NFL Game (ours)

      Anyone else remember back in 2010 when Fox piloted having music under the in-game replays during one of Carolina's games? Not the commercial bumpers but the actual replay clips that the announcers would talk over. Pretty sure it was vs the 49ers. And it was terrible. Point being, Carolina continues being so bad that we get the networks trying things out during their games.

      Is it bad I found this video more hilarious than pathetic? I am still laughing at that one play where half the people on the field ran into each other and Bryce still couldn't see Chuba wide open... Also laughing at Cade blocking nobody and somehow losing his cleat Man this offense is a poo show
