We were all screaming for it too, was so obvious, what was Dan thinking?

“Former NC State LB Payton Wilson is on pace to break the Pittsburgh Steelers' single-season tackles record. 

The second-year player's 8.4 tackles per game would total 142.8, which would top James Farrior's 141 from 2003.”

It’s extremely frustrating when it feels like you are genuinely right as a fan. 

Taking an injured RB in the 2nd was pretty shocking. Every time I shrug my shoulders and say they know more than me but damn. Brooks has to be elite/productive for that decision to make any sense.

LOL, most of us WANTED to draft him, but Dan had a boner for Trevin Wallace, I know I sure as heck wanted Wilson.  He's had injuries during college, that's a red flag, they said.  Then Jonathan Brooks entered the chat...   Make sense of it.

The injury argument against him was strong but as others have pointed out you chose an injured RB of all things.

Wilson was EXTREMELY CLEARLY a better football player than Wallace outside of injury/health concerns. 

We often seem to whiff on these sort of players(Trey Smith, etc) when we should be making these sort of moves. This is why I railed so much against our FO and their pursuit of RAS/Underwear Olympics champions over great FOOTBALL PLAYERS.

Now with all that being said.......Wilson has started 8 total games in his career. He is technically piling up these stats as a backup player. Had we built our roster better, Wallace might have the benefit of being a backup player racking up stats surrounded by better LB's, as well. Instead he is getting abused game in and game out as a starter before he is ready to be such.

If we had drafted him he would've already torn all his ligaments. Like all of them. 

Helluva player and it was obvious but he had a Penix-like injury laundry list.

Yeah, we probably used up all our extreme injury luck with Thomas Davis. That well is dried up.

      If the trade value is reasonable, he would be a solid option. You wouldn't be on the hook for a big salary increase until 2027. At that point, he is easy to jettison if it didn't work out. I just don't think he is going to be cheap and I don't think we are going to be a team that bids highly enough for his services in a trade scenario.  Him being cut(highly unlikely) is even worse. Now you gotta outbid everyone in the NFL. That's even worse.

      I would love to not see Florida in the playoffs. Frankly, I don't want to see any elite goalies. That seems to be our kryptonite.

      There is always  Bro we have eyes. They saw Sunday and they saw just one week before.  GWD is a weak stat to base a player grade on it should really be a team thing.  But at any rate we can all see how the QB plays each week. I don’t know why we even need stats at all to be honest. At least for these evaluation purposes. I mean, in GWD you have to look under the hood to make sure you aren’t getting sold a bill of goods.  They are fine for keeping records of yards and completions and points given and allowed and fumbles and so on.  For defense yardage is a bad indicator of rank for instance.  You can build a nice looking house of cards on yards allowed; if you play from ahead you are likely to give up more air yards than rushing. The farther ahead, the more air yards. For one instance. So what it it telling you? Not that you have a bad pass d all the time.
