Beason - easy. Our D overall was terrible last year but all of the surrounding units were made worse than they would have been by the carnage at LB (easily our strongest defensive unit when healthy IMO).

Getting Beason back (who I trust more than TD to actually come back from his injury) will go lightyears towards solidifying the middle of the field...which will have an effect on the entire defensive unit.

Either Beason or Gettis. I voted Gettis but I could see both having an equal impact, just cautious about Beason. You know if Gettis performs like he did his rookie season coupled with the fact that he is playing with Cam, will only increase his impact.

I don't trust Otah and don't see how much more of an impact he could make. The OL mistakes at times gets covered up by Newton's ability to extend plays.

Edwards, I am sure, will make a difference but I think DTs rotate so much that I couldn't vote him.

Davis is just too much of a question mark for me but I am sure everyone hopes he can at least stay on the field.

It is easily Otah..he would make the like deep and offer a Pro Bowl run destroyer which would make us even more dominant on offense.

Gettis would have to exceed the Legadu stats which I think Lafell will get..Hopefully Gettis is ready to go.

i just dont see Thomas Davis making it...after game 1 i was so excited and then heartbroken seeing him carted off.

Edwards is a close second...we need all the help up the middle.

The injury TD suffered vs GB was a contact injury, it was different that the first two tears, he also had a different style of surgery this time.

      Drafting X is like the poster board for mistakes. Hopefully, lesson learned.

      Poster board? Were you trying to use the term poster child?

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By TD alt · Posted

      I mean, you're acting like we don't see the tippy-toe bunny hops, jump throws more than normal (with both feet dangling in the air every which a way), and off-platform but off-balance throws that arrive short or sail high. Could that be bad mechanics due to being short? Could a seeming propensity to bail the pocket towards the sidelines early as opposed to sitting in the pocket tall and strong, surveying his reads, be an attempt at trying to see an open throwing lane? I'm not saying that what you're saying isn't a contributing factor to what has been an underwhelming display of executing the QB position, but this is year three, and if the lightbulb hasn't switched on by now---if you haven't figured out that guys are faster, stronger and generally more athletic, then what's it going to take? It's hard to forget that "mental processing" was supposed to be Bryce Young's superpower. Are you telling me that he can't nail down such an easy concept as, "I can't get away with the things I did in college at the pro level," is that right? If he can't get past that, then that surely limits his ability to successfully execute all the other stuff.  Look, I'm not trying to be flippant. I acknowledge that playing pro football is more complex than a lot of fans realize, but all we can do, as fans, is observe. One of my favorite things to do is just look at the greater picture and think what part human nature is playing in the many decisions that are being made or have to be made. You're absolutely correct that fans don't know exactly what's going on, but that is by design, and in many ways it's just the nature of the beast. Some things we can't know. That being said, the professionals screw the hell up all the time. The professionals disagree all the time. These disagreements can be within the same franchise or from franchise to franchise. And sometimes these decisions are all over the place, so excuse me if I ain't exactly buying the I-know-more-than-thee sentiment and that that means that professionals always make better decisions than fans would about certain players. Some of this stuff is simply luck or a crapshoot.
