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.

    • Yep, like I said, I don't mind guaranteeing them money, but make the contracts smaller amounts in order to minimize cap implications. I don't know about "half," the actual amounts, whether more or less than half, would have to be determined by the NFL and NFLPA (which will probably be highly contentious, if not "impossible").  I'm just for whatever leads to the best product on the field while also unaffecting my wallet. As an aside, the NFL owners are greedy bastards in my estimation. They're trying to keep a larger portion of the pie, but players' agents are greedy as well, and they've sewn seeds of greed among the players. It's not all their fault; we all know what our society has evolved into, but the NFL wants a bigger piece of our smaller pocketbooks and refuses to "negotiate" with us (that's why we don't have cheaper and more reasonable à la carte options to view games that they're gradually trying to migrate to paid TV), so fu<k 'em. And then on top of that we have guys trying to water down the product even more by feeding greed. Change the way things are done so that we can at least see players prove themselves on the field without throwing wrenches into the engine that pays guys that have proven they can play on a pro level.

    • OK, I didn't realize this was about high school, but...if I'm spending my personal money trying to help some kids out, then no one is going to tell me how to spend my money. I get enough of the government spending my money--allocating my tax dollars--to children who don't really need anything, and now they're trying to tell me how to spend my personal money? Sure, there are many other issues to consider and rabbit holes that we could go down due to ethical concerns because it concerns kids, and the need for transparency is extremely important, but maybe as opposed to trying to stop kids from benefitting in darkness, we need to open up the blinds (and blinders) a little bit so that they can benefit in the light. I get where you're coming from, but this is a loaded and layered issue, and I'm just trying to give you some food for thought.
