Official...DaQuan Bowers bandwagon!

??? Really what happen to Andrew Luck Bandwagon. I've see Bowers play some. He is impressive. But not worth wasting a number 1 overall on. We easly pick up a good pass rusher in FA. Our needs is more at WR and QB and DT right now. But Bowers can become a good pass rusher in the future. But not worth a number 1 unless we trade our number 1 and go down some for more draft picks.

Sidenote. You can get Bowers and have Johnson on the otherside and get a few stud DTs in FA and we got a solid linebacker core already and a good secondary. It wouldn't matter much unless you had a good QB who can move a offense down the field and score. Because sooner or later the D get tired and gets destroyed. Luck first choice and Bowers down the line. We ain't really in no big need for a stud DE right now.

I would struggle mightily to convince myself to support spending our first pick on anything but the offensive side of the ball. Our D, for what it was, could have been MUCH worse. I'm not sure the same can be said for our offense which, in order to be worse, would have to have played with mono while blindfolded all year.

Well even tho I'm not completely on board with the Luck idea yet. We need Luck more right now then Bowers. We have a decent D already. We can build our D in the FA market by find a 2 stud DTs and getting a good CB as a starter the otherside of Gamble. Our oline,WR core and our main problem is QB postion that needs addressing first thing.

    • 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
