If you didn't realize today that our biggest need is for a stud DT...

Ok. I agree about the Suh factor your right 1st round DT is not there. But Jake had 18 INT's this time last year as a veteran! Jimmy has 6 as a rookie. He's just gun shy not terrible

I was just pointing out that his TD/INT ratio is worse.....and it is. In addition to that he has fumbled 8 times. So based on the good vs. negative....is he really being better than Jake?

i agree he is gun shy......I just don't agree he isn't terrible. he hasn't shown anything yet to have faith in him not being that. he has shown a lot of bad vs. almost nothing postive. The little positive people spin him doing goes hand in hand w/ bad things he is doing. (the thrown away balls for example).

Darth, I do agree with you, our biggest need isn't at qb, but the thing is Luck is a can't miss prospect if available.

We are still terribly thin at LB too, actually... or are you comfortable with Jason Williams, Nic Harris, Jordan Senn, etc?

Seems like a pretty short sighted assesment.

We're terribly thin NOW after 12 games and 3 linebackers on IR.

We're not terribly thin with Thomas Davis, Dan Connor, and Jamar Williams back. It's actually a team strength.

We could always use more bodies but we're not terribly thin.

You are wrong...

We can draft/sign QBs all day and night, and none of them will succeed with the team around them... as evidenced by the 4 we have played at various points this season...

Next argument...

you are right but there is no Suh and no McCoy in this draft, it would be a waste to pick fairley or Dareus when Luck is there. If we dont get Luck we need to pick the best player available which is aj green, or pat peterson to play free safety or corner. I see us addressing DT in free agency with Cofield or even Haloti Ngata if we get that lucky. I'd also like to get Prince Amukamara if we do a trade down.

he has a worse TD/INT ration than Jake did when he imploded for what it's worth. He also has 8 fumbles on the year.....he hasn't lost them all but those are all asking for it.

we all agree a DT is needed. But there isn't a Suh in the draft and we will have the number 1 pick. Can use the 2nd round pick on DT and the 1st on Luck. That should make everyone happy.

u traded your 2nd-rounder to the pats...

Brees, Ryan, and Freeman aren't going anywhere. We need to fix the huge gap in QB play and maybe the rest falls into place.

the problem is that those guys dont have nothing to do with your QB...those QBs have to be attacked by your pass-rush...oh, u dont have any pass-rush....

      Bucky Brooks eats humble pie. You want a couple of slices?

      No you dont.  He had all those records for years before his final season. Whether career or season he had them all years before his final season in which he played 6 games.

      DJ Moore. The quitting WR

      By csx · Posted

      Williams covered for Moore by saying they were on the wrong page about Moores specific route. Williams could have easily covered for him by saying he messed up. Suggesting only 1 route was ever intended to be a viable target is absurd.

      Edge Rushers

      I am going to agree with Linville this time--I think we need to get a veteran edge (We have Jones II, Scourton, and Princely--2 developmental guys and a decent veteran).  We don't really think of Jones because he had a hamstring injury weeks 3 and 4 and a back that required surgery Week 6-17.  He still managed 10 pressures, and he will be 28.  Princely Umanmielen only played in approximately 18-20% of the snaps and he struggled at times.  Basically, he was a situational pass rusher.  He got 1.5 sacks and 10 pressures.  He should improve, but for now, he is what he is.  Scourton gives us hope.  For a rookie (and thanks to Jones II's injuries, he was given more PT), he had 8 sacks--and held the edge.  He played at a first-round draft pick level.  He has the potential to become "that guy" in 2026. We lose Wonnum, who played nearly 700 snaps and amassed 3 whole sacks.  For a person raised a Gamecock, I would not be upset if we purged our roster of all South Carolina alumni.   However, I see it this way:  Wonnum was decent holding the edge, something Patrick Jones II and Scourton have demonstrated at a high level.  He is a liability, if you ask me.    Jones had 7 sacks one season in Minnesota and is known for his inside rushing ability--not what you would call a speed rusher.  I think Princely was a bit disappointing, but he was a bit raw.  Out of college, they described him as being a bit predictable.  I see no reason he will not improve in 2026 and become a situational pass rusher.   Basically, with Scourton and Princely expected to continue to develop and Jones II returning from injury, I think we need another veteran (if we can get a good one) to give us balance and depth.  A third developmental player is not ideal.   Draft:  OT, LB, WR, OL depth, S. Free Agency:  Edge, possibly a WR;  re-sign Mays, Cuhran, BC (??), and Nijman.  Let walk:  Wonnum, Scott, Dowdle.  I see about $20m per year after signing the OL depth.  Spend it on a veteran edge.   Players like Reddick (Tampa), Bosa (Buffalo), Khalil Mack (LAC) could be available on a one or two year deal in the $15m range.  We could splurge here, but I think a veteran situational pass rusher (depending on Jones II's back) is all we need while our 2 young guns develop.
