Luvu / Chinn….. why did we let them go again?

Luvu wanted to leave and was not going to stay no matter what. Can't blame him.

No one in Carolina could figure out how to properly use Chinn and he sure wasn't a fit for Evero's cloud-soft whatever it is. Chinn had options from other teams and ultimately chose Washington due to scheme fit - the attacking style is working out well for him. I'm still not convinced his best fit isn't as a WLB/SUBLB but Washington seems to have him as close to his rookie performance as anyone thus far.

I honestly don't buy the "fit" arguments. Good coaches find ways to use good players. Tailor your "system" to fit your players. Any semi-competent coach looks good if he has all the right pieces.

No real disagreement, but it's fair to say that some players just aren't built for certain assignments. That can certainly be a condemnation of the coach.

I agree to a point, but certain schemes in theory and on the field play to a player's strengths and makes him look good. That's what the draft and FA acquisitions are all about. Of course some players can thrive in any scheme, but I can't say that Chinn is one of them.

Luvu had the open market he wanted to test, and honestly, it seemed like he was preferential to elsewhere even if the money was similar. 

Chinn was the 2020 runner-up DROY.  His type of talent doesn't just not fit but I guess the 2 high shell isn't optimal - we just couldn't use him the way Snow did.  He's a fit with the now more hybrid-Cover 3 defense Quinn deploys.

I do.

That said, there are plenty of coaches who talk about tailoring their scheme to fit their players (hell, even Rivera said that) but when push comes to shove they're either too stubborn to actually try or just plain don't know how.

Evero could be one of those.

      Yeah, Bryce has to put that a little deeper. But XL can't allow the pick there. Gotta become the DB when you're undercut like that.

      Micah officially requests a trade

      By TD alt · Posted

      You see, I just don't subscribe to a cookie cutter type of philosophy when it comes to trades or team building. Every situation is different. Many may disagree, but I think that FOs that can't draft impact-players beyond the first round aren't really viable.  Just for argument's sake, because we all know this hypothetical trade is as realistic as the moon being made of cheese, Micah is a young dawg really just beginning his prime and is arguably the most valuable pass rusher in the league. He could realistically play at a high level for at least the next five to seven years. Parsons' current trajectory is Canton. That being said, he's not some old merc that fits the mold of "one piece away," he's a core piece to any defense for the better part of the next 10 years. Pass rushers of his caliber and age don't generally become available, so, sure, he'd help an elite team, but he's also a fit for a younger team that's building. I know that you don't agree, but it's all good. I respect your rationale.

      By pantherclaw · Posted

      Here's my not important take on this subject.  Who wouldn't want a pass rusher of his consistency?  I would absolutely love to have him on this defense.   Would I give up Brown in a trade for him.  Nope, I would never do that.  Interior linemen are way to important to be settling for whatever you can get at the position.   Would I trade 2 firsts,  plus fork out a big contract for him?   Without knowing if Young is for sure going to be our long term, franchise guy,  there is no way I'd be okay with letting go 2 firsts. As for the contract that he'd demand, I just dont get caught up with NFL contracts.  They have been out of control for decades.  So I really dont get upset over big contracts. It's just a fact of life in the NFL.  You HAVE to pay for talent.
