Yet another useless UNC DLineman


Panthro

Recommended Posts

Hope Balmer is ok but i've never had faith in him playing in the NFL. I remember when he signed with the Panthers i took a lot of heat saying the guy is garbage. I said the same thing when he signed with Washington late in the season (due to injuries) and thought the local plumber would have been a better pickup. He's camp fodder at best anyways.

How many times has he been released now? Didn't Carolina drop him (who we all know shouldn't be in the dropping DT bu'ness) last year with out playing a game?

Only fitting the skins have to deal with him. Par for the course.

He reminds me a lot of John McCargo and Demario Pressley.

    • Bingo. The dude is a baller no doubt and I'd love to have him in a vacuum but like you said he's gonna fetch a haul so the only teams it really makes sense for are teams with an overall good roster who they feel an edge rusher like Crosby would out them over the top in terms of competing for SBs. I'd be looking st teams like the Pats, Bucs, Ravens, Seahawks, etc. It wouldn't be shocking to see him moved. He may be more valuable to a rebuilding team in the form of the draft assets he'd fetch than he is on the field. He should still have several more good years in the tank at 28 but by the time the Raiders can reasonably expect to rebuild he's gonna be on the decline.
    • Crosby will garner a haul in a trade. I would be reluctant to make that trade because of the following: 1. Our overall roster is awful. We cannot afford to be trading away valuable draft capital. 2. He isn't the best fit(IMO) for the scheme that Evero runs.  I love the player but it would really need to be at a reasonable deal and I think he is likely to garner an unreasonable price if he gets traded.
    • In terms of need, EDGE is currently #1. Our pass rush is near league worst levels. However, I don't subscribe to "need" based drafting. BPA all day.  We do need to dramatically upgrade over Scourton, Jones, Wonnum and Umanmielen. That is likely in the running for the NFL's worst two deep. Not saying all those players are bad, but I am saying 100% of those players are 2nd or 3rd stringers.
