Found My Bandwagon...

The only problem with Upshaw is he is much, much better suited for a 3-4. If we switched full time to it then I'd be okay, but don't think that is happening. He lacks coverage skills to be an every down 4-3 OLB.
i would think we would use him as a joker LB pass rush specialist. i agree for the most part, though.

truthfully, if we were going to draft someone for the joker (which i am in favor of), i'd rather wait until the 2nd round (or 3rd if we can somehow manage to snag a pick there) and pick up bruce irvin. that kid is going to be a dynamo as long as he's given the freedom to pick and choose his spots and doesn't have to put his hand in the dirt.

    • Yards a game works better over a longer period of time as well. Averages always work out over the long run. The smaller the sample size the easier it is to skew. Also opponents matter more when the size is small. Player 1 lights up 2 bad defenses in 4 starts vs Player 2 playing 10 games vs multiple defenses. It hard to make it apples to apples how it currently sits. Remember during Bryce’s little run last year how annoyed you were when people were pulling Bryce’s starts from week 9 on vs the whole season. 
    • Someone else claimed I said EVERY.  Literally in my post breaking it down it gave Bryce TDs per game.   Shough however has the majority in his favor if just looking at starts. whats subjective about comp %, yards, QB ratings and turnovers?  Now I guess the argument one might make off them could be subjective.  But all I’m saying is statistically as a starter he has been better this year overall.  I don’t think Shough is great.  I think he is impressive based on the situation.  2nd rounder stepping in on a bad team.   And he like so many other QBs…..serves as little red flag going off about what we are doing here offensively. 
    • Player A - 2 starts.  200 yards in each start. He averages 200 yards a game.  Player B - 1 start.  Throws for 400 yards.  Comes in another random game and has 1 pass attempt on a Hail Mary to end the game that goes incomplete.   Now given the random game he appeared for a snap, he averages 200 yards a game. Thats why you isolate starts. If you are talking starter vs someone who began as a backup.  Simple made up numbers/situations to illustrate the point.
