dareus refuses to be derailed


Recommended Posts

Dareus will probably be a really solid DT. He's a good pick, no doubt about it.

It's too bad there is this little thing called 'scoring', which is required to win american football games. It's too bad also that the offense does this, and a DT doesn't line up in offensive formations. And it's too bad we had the worst QB play in the history of our franchise last year and are in need of a QB 100 times more than a DT.

Dareus will be a great pickup for Denver, or maybe Cincci.

Love the kid, love the story, Would love to have him as our #1 pick. For some reason I now think of the movie the blind side when I hear of Dareus. The kid will come to the NFL to play, He will be a hard worker and thats what will make him a good NFL player. I honestly would love to pick him over Fairley and Newton but our offense is what we really need to improve and I would honestly feel better picking Green or Peterson with our first pick. So many tough decisions with so little time.

Which is exactly what Dareus is there to prevent other teams from doing :)

Dareus also is humble. When he was the MVP of Alabama's win over Texas in the 2010 national championship game, he didn't party afterward like a rock star. He hung out with his family at the team hotel, playing pool and reminiscing until it was time to go to sleep.

Sign this man.

We'd be stupid to pass on Dareus if we stay at #1. Also, to address the whole scoring issue, if you can't stop an offense you have to match them in points and Cam Newton alone can't do that. Anybody who thinks so is pipe dreaming or has the ghey for him.

There's nothing wrong with our defense. We could always get a DT FA. or 3rd round.

    • Kalkbrenner and Sion James received regular contracts and not two ways, so the Hornets have some work to do to cut the roster size down. 
    • Gustavsson would be insane. I think we would have to break the bank to afford that move. Which, I don't think is necessarily a bad idea. Ultimately, Freddie isn't likely to be around more than a couple of seasons more. We can all agree that unless they have a fleet of sports psychologists working on Kochetkov, he will never be capable of getting his head on straight enough to compete.
    • I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.
