Why in God's name would we pick Bowers #1?

DEs:

Charles Johnson (All-Pro caliber)

Tyler Brayton (reliable starter)

Greg Hardy (young guy with potential)

Everette Brown (see Hardy)

DTs:

Nick Hayden (backup quality at best)

?????

Why then does Todd McShay have us picking Bowers, then Denver picking Fairley? We need to pick the best player available at the position that we need and would improve our team the most, which is DT, and Fairley is the best player at that position.

Most people outside of Tuscaloosa agree.

Or, are we going to just stockpile 5 good DEs, have lousy DTs and hope for 1-2 wins next year? Will this front office show a desire to win?

He isn't. And why pick a guy at a position we don't need? I hope the front office isn't that stupid, but they probably are.

Yes.... he isn't in your opinion, others think he is.... Who's the BPA is very debateable at this time.

Also DE are good, not great.... Average does not win Title's. IF the team feels that Bowers is a much better player than Nick.... Than draft him.... This is all Mute to me anyway as I would like attempt to improve the bottom ranked NFL offense with the #1 pick.

cause some people thing he is BPA? hell i dont know

Tyler Brayton: 22 tackles, 0 sacks

Everett Brown: 25 Tackles 3.5 sacks

Greg Hardy: 30 Tackles, 3 sacks

TOTAL: 77 tackles, 6.5 sacks

Charles Johnson 62 tackles, 11.5 sacks

You can make a case for an additional DE. The first pick of the draft does not have to go to the biggest need; there are other rounds, trades, and free agency.

DE is important in an attacking 4-3. Bowers eliminates the need for rotations between Brayton, Brown, and Hardy.

yep. Carolina needs two DEs that can have a consistant impact. We got 2 role players in Brayton and Brown, a young and unproven Hardy, and our 1 DE doesn't have a contract.

DE is a need. Not as big of a need as DT but we need more than 1 stud and a commitee of somewhat okay DEs.

meh, I am happy with our DEs overall. As much as I teased Brown, he really showed improvement this year... and Hardy is downright scary.

If we go DL, we better go DT. DT is obviously a bigger need than DE. So the only reason you'd go DE is if Bowers was so far ahead of others as far as BPA goes there was no question you had to grab him.

That is not the case, tho.

DE is about 6th in terms of need. The depth there is much better than DT, QB, WR, TE, and RG.

You are that confident in our CBs...? If we don't keep Marshall CB is a bigger need than WR IMO... and even if we do, I think it's still a bigger need than DE, lol.

I agree with you though. DE isn't even in our top 5 positions of need.

      shough vs tmac off rookie of the year

      By MasterAwesome · Posted

      Please don't tell me you just averaged the QB ratings of all of Shough's starts to declare his QB rating as better 😂 I hope you don't actually believe that's how it works.  Otherwise please show your math on Shough's QB rating as a starter. Thanks for including Shough's 2.6 more Rushing YPG in this comparison, really doesn't feel at all like you're desperately grasping for as many straws as you can here. The truth is, it takes a statistical bottom-tier starting QB like Bryce Young to make Shough look simply OK by comparison.  And that bottom-tier starting QB still, by your own admission, puts up more points for his offense than Shough.  You're framing this as damning for Bryce, but in reality the fact that him and Bryce are so neck-and-neck is shining Shough in a very poor light. Yes Shough is a rookie and Young is a 3rd year starter, which is why I circle back to my position of Shough having a "pretty solid, encouraging rookie season" whereas you're fanboying over him.  Never mind that Shough is 2 years older than Bryce though.  Normally yes a QB's experience in the league is invaluable...but Bryce is kind of a unique situation considering the biggest complaint with him is he is too physically limited to succeed in the league.  Do we think a QB can overcome severe physical limitations simply with experience?  Also I remember wayyyy back (/s) when we cared so much about DJ Johnson being an older rookie and our standard for them being that they're more NFL-ready and able to contribute sooner rather than later.  But now all of a sudden Shough is just a poor little 26-year-old rookie on an awful team.  Seriously...the way you frame everything around Shough is straight out of a fanfic.  Constantly referencing with tears in your eyes how he's succeeding against all odds on such an awful team.  Meanwhile the Saints' D is 14th in PPG and their offense (led by Shough) is 29th in PPG.  Telling me how the Saints managed a win on Shough's shoulders against the Jets last week who put up...*checks notes*...6 points against the Saints' D.  Yes god bless the savior Shough who willed his team to victory against those juggernauts led by Brady Cook.  Never mind how Taysom Hill threw as many touchdowns in 1 passing attempt as Shough did in 49 passing attempts.  Yikes.

      Who's gonna drop the gloves? I can't think of a single player on this team that can fight. Period. Much less get the best of an opposing player. Please.
