Something Rivera Said/Nick Fairley


Catalyst

Recommended Posts

Im sorry I was just not impressed with Fairley and it seems he benefits from a great Dline. He was handled last night by one guy on most plays and the only time he made a play was when he was left unblocked or the QB made a mistake. What I did notice was that he cost his team a 15 yards for no reason and also had poor tackling. From what I took from the bowl game is that he is very quick, has good closing speed, but dose not tackle well, lazy on run plays, and will cost you with his attitude.

Great scouting report of Nick Fairley by Russ Lande who writes for Sporting News and was a former scout for the Browns and Rams.

I agree Fairly could be dominate but if you read anything of Russ Lande's from last year its all garbage. He had Eric Berry a 3rd round pick at best, Tony Pike the second overall ranked QB, justified Jonathan Crompton going in the first round, and the majority of the players he says were steals did not preform and the ones he said were reaches went on to be some of the best rookies. It may have just been a bad year for him, but this year isn't looking very promising either for example Julio Jones is his fifth best receiver, while Colin Kapernick and Christian Ponder are his top two quarterbacks in his super 40, which i assume is his big board.

    • I guarantee it makes a difference. Give up 2 scores and its basically over until garbage time. The offense can barely drive the length of the field in 3 quarters. The defense has been gutted to build around a QB that is possibly the biggest bust in NFL history. For what we've put into the offense the past 3 years, we should be dropping 30 bombs with regularity. The only 30s we get are FGs. 
    • Not according to some fly by night fantasy crusader!  There were 10 drops that should have netted Bryce another 450 yards and 7 TD’s 
    • What? Am I mistaken that his rookie year included a horrible coaching staff and support players.   It's wasn't just Bryce.  I won't judge any player from that yeah.  It's impossible to make an accurate assessment on any player under those conditions. It's that simple. You break down each play and look at each player, what the expectation was, what happened during the play and what circumstances affected every player and position. There a reason why the narrative was he could be the biggest NFL bust in history.  Then after his benching he started to show remarkable improvement. Thus all the talk from fans and media about how dramatic of a turnaround it was and that Carolina no longer had a QB problem. First game this year the whole team stunk it up.  Why?  Plenty of blame to go around including Bryce. Improvements do not come it a nice straight line angling up.  I think Sunday was a step back for the whole team.  Still plenty of time to see if it was a bad outing to grow from or another indicator of issues that can't be overcome.
