Why aren't we considering Da'Quan Bowers?


Carolina Crazy V2

Recommended Posts

He's a great pass rusher.

He's similar to Pep in the run game. He has the speed to chase down weakside run plays.

Also very powerful and can rag doll quarterbacks and running backs.

Also very tall so he can be disruptive at the line for opposing quarterbacks.

He also has lots of experience playing inside. Imagine CJ and Hardy lining up to Bowers and a good FA DT. We would generate a hell of a pass rush on 3rd down.

So then, why aren't we considering him? He's much more of a physical freak than Fairley and his career production is better (not that either of them produced greatly before this season).

The reason is that we got lucky and added some talent there recently.

Brown, Hardy, CJ, Brayton, Norwood. That is a group that many teams would love to have. With as many needs as we have we can not draft Bowers. PLUS the guy was not consistent. He did nothing his first 2 years at Clemson.

While he is talented we have Johnson and Hardy that is developing quite well. I see no need to add him because of this. Also this is why I doubt we will go after Green.

Exactly. Plus you just dont take WR's #1. From what I understand even with a CBA there won't be a rookie cap this year, it would start 2012. Hense all the talk about Luck should have come out this year while he could still get the big money.

Personally I don't see anyone in this draft worth paying what we would have to pay the #1 pick. I definately can't see JR paying a single WR top QB money and that is what he would have to pay him.

Trade down.

    • Whether it's consistently seeing the field his arm talent his mechanics it all points to a limited player that needs virtually everything to go right in order to possibly begin to overachieve or play at an elite level. Some people are willing to accept average at best but that's not what we're here for. This is a business.
    • Last year folks were gaslighting that Bryce was the best deep passer in the NFL despite not ever making plays downfield  NOW, he has A+++++++ arm strength one notch down from Brett Favre S Tier arm strength?  And people complain people are Bryce “haters” for arguing against all this type wildness lol.     
    • I looked at him and his arm and his footwork, before he was drafted.  It was clear then it is clear now. He doesn’t have an arm that can flick a ball down the field using only the arm.  I don’t see his arm as good by NFL standards. I see it as something he must overcome. So I quibble with the characterization.  What I completely agree with is if he does not do his mechanics and footwork right his velocity and accuracy suffers.  If he is diligent and adheres to proper execution, yeah he can make do with his arm.  That sort of is what it is at this point.  Another aspect of it is he needs to use maximum effort to go downfield or to really drive a ball with any kind of heat. That (max effort) hinders accuracy. I have talked about this before.  He is at a disadvantage having to max exert compared to a guy that can use a very repeatable easier throwing motion.  Up to him if he can proof the pudding and hang with the big dogs.
