I loved jStew but let’s not forget he was almost always held out from practice  due to some nagging injuries 

he came into the league hurt.   he played probably the majority of this career banged up.

Catching ability is the only thing that limits any NFL RB from being an every down back.  This is a strength of Brooks or at least it was in college.  He'll be an every down back for sure.  

I’d add pass pro to that.  Hard to really keep a RB on the field consistently on 3rd down that can’t be relied on in pass pro

Did not want him (that high). Taking him meant trading back up for the tackle who I forget his name, but I just wanted a tackle.

He had foot issues, 1st round, I was like... why? 

 

He earned the return on that investment. Great player for us.

Granted his situation was unique with dwill as well as his injuries but its nuts to think he only had 1 1000 yard season.

Then got paired with Cam and that read zone once Dwill was gone. Got to think he would have logged 3 straight thousand yard seasons in that window but Cam was going to get his in that O

      Well, Hooker was a guy that was drafted in the 3rd round pick sitting behind a well established starter yet Detroit somehow saw enough to let him go after two offseasons.  Where does that fit into your ideal situation?

      Like that matters. That's the first thing. I suggested that it's probably better to let a QB sit and learn, and that's what I meant. Secondly, in what planet am I making excuses, my friend, or engaging in any mental gymnastics in Bryce Young's defense? As I have said, I don't care if he turns into Mighty Mouse, it's time for him to go. In my opinion, he's too short to be a successful QB in the NFL. I have seen enough. I'd rather trade him and take my chances with Hooker, at least he's more of a prototypical size and can actually see where and why he's throwing the ball.

      About that schedule.

      There is a scenario where our team comes out prepared to play football instead of shitting the bed for the first quarter. Every bad Bryce game seems to start with him looking incompetent - the OL looking incompetent - and the defense looking incompetent.  Boom, down 14 before we know what hit us. Imagine a world where we come prepared and play with a lead, and Bryce gets to fulfill his ceiling by managing a game instead of playing catch up. He's bad, but upon reflection he is not Clausen bad.  He can move the team down the field when he gets 4 - 5 seconds in a clean pocket against a soft zone.  I don't think Clausen could do that.
