I could see it, Tepper era is all about RAS guys. I dont like it though.

We keep drafting athletic wonders who can't play football and we can't figure out why it's not working.

Unfornately Shemar Stewart had David Tepper's Panthers written all over him.

We might as well just start signing guys off the Olympic track and field squad.

We have been heavily linked to him. I have seen some suggestion he could go to us at 8.

I have a strong incline it’s simply happening. No matter who falls, we’re likely getting Stewart or Walker.

Lots of reports and everything seems to hint we like those guys a lot…and we tend to stay course no matter who’s available. Will Johnson could be a nice surprise, but I just don’t see the others happening. Just a gut feeling about it.

It’s the same thing with XL last year. We can’t hide our love.

I really hope it works out whoever we draft but IMO Stewart's bust factor is off the charts. Checks every measurement box twice and yet completely lacks production. It's such a a massive red flag.

Shemar Stewart is a borderline first round talent. No way he should be the 8th pick in the draft because of his combine. Picking him would be the equivalent of Legette over Ladky. Higher ceiling, but much lower floor. 

Can’t see us taking Stewart @ #8. A trade down in the teens or later maybe. He could possibly slip to round 2 but he’s not a top 10 prospect IMO.

He has good tape and is built like a top of draft DL, but he’s not an elite talent — he just doesn’t close out plays.

His pressure to sack conversion is baffling. I mean, he creates havoc but can’t lock it up. Still, prefer him way more than the other rumored apple of our eye in Mykel.

If it’s me, I’m leaning Warren, McMillan, Johnson, Walker…but I dunno. It just feels like Stewart. I’m basically telling myself it so much so that I’m either pleasantly surprised or taking it as expected.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
