What happened to Ken Lucas?


Sam Mills Fan

Recommended Posts

Back in '05, we were talking about how he was arguably the best corner in the league and was completely screwed out of a Pro Bowl spot. He had receivers on lockdown that year.

Now he's the Keary Colbert of cornerbacks. The David Carr of defenders. Even worse than Jason David.

What do you think happened? To be honest, the '06 and '07 seasons are repressed in my memories, so I don't remember how he played then. But I know that he was playing at least decently earlier this season.

But yet Chris Gamble has really really improved. He's had the same coaches that Lucas and Marshall have. How do you all explain that?

That style of play fits Gamble better than Lucas. Ideally we would have Gamble hang back and Lucas play up on the receiver, but that obviously didn't happen.

I would beg to differ on that point.. I think Gamble did a lot of improving on his own... Like it was mentioned, our scheme benefits Gamble more, in that he can sit back and watch the play develop more...

remember when we were so happy about tim lewis because the Panthers hadn't had a dpi yet in the season?

why didn't any of us think that was because no corner was ever within five yards of a receiver before they made the catch?

    • Nobody is giving up a 4th rounder for a backup QB And anyone who needs a starter badly enough to where Bryce would then be their starter, is such a bad team that they're not giving up a pick likely to be about pick 105ish overall, instead of just dealing with a bad QB situation for a season and then drafting one in a loaded QB draft next year. I'm looking through all the teams right now and can't think of a single one that would be willing to part with anything better than a 6th rounder. Barring injuries (and excluding the Panthers), there look to be 10 teams who don't know with 100% certainty who their starting QB will be in 2027... Dolphins, Jets, Browns, Steelers, Vikings, Colts, Saints, Falcons, Cardinals, and Rams. Of those 10...  The Rams know it will be Stafford or Simpson.  The Saints more than likely will be sticking with Shough unless he takes a huge step backwards.  So neither are giving up any draft picks for Bryce right now, just wouldn't make sense for either. Down to 8 Given their current QB situation of having multiple QBs they already need to evaluate between this year, the Browns (Shedeur/Watson), Vikings (Kyler/JJ), Colts (Jones/Richardson/Leonard), and Falcons (Penix/Tua), wouldn't be giving up a 4th (or maybe any pick) to bring in another QB to muddy the waters even more. Down to 4 Dolphins just signed Willis and wouldn't want to bring in another small Alabama QB who has struggled after just dumping Tua instead of just rolling with Ewers as the backup.   That then leaves the Steelers, Cardinals, and Jets left as it's clear none of them have any idea who their 2027 could be as of right now.  But the Steelers would for sure rather just see what one of the 2 QB's they drafted in the last 2 drafts could become than give up a mid round pick for Bryce.  Same goes for the Cardinals in taking Beck this past weekend. The Jets would be the most likely team to even consider taking him on, but I think it seems very apparent right now given them rolling with Geno and now talk of bringing in Wilson to be his backup, they're punting on QB this year to draft someone next year, so why give up even a mid round pick for Bryce?
    • Honestly I am not sure Pickett couldn’t step in for him. But I don’t see a clear easy upgrade and we are not KC with Alex Smith we are a team that hadn’t done poo for almost ten years and just made the playoffs. And looked good in the game. That stadium atmosphere on that day…. you know Tepper ate that poo up. Not one drink has been thrown in a while.  You had better make sure if you replaced him after that that you had a sure fire upgrade. 
    • Makes sense. If Bryce is ass this year, we are probably drafting our new QB next draft and sitting him behind Bryce for a year
