Jordan Gross

Does anyone have a site that shows how many sacks he's allowed? I'm just trying to figure out how many he's allowed, if possible per year. Because I'm very positive that he's allowed many from the games this past season. By many I'm talking close the double digits here.

This would probably save me the trouble of watching the entire season just to spot gross' allowed sacks...

LOL@ Byron Bell

Bell supposedly sucks while Gross is so great yet the difference in their sack totals was 2 sacks over the course of the season. Despite one playing left tackle versus right tackle, it hardly justifies Gross' cap hit of 11 million while Bell has a cap hit of 550,000. Obviously sacks don't tell the whole story.

Bruce Campbells numbers look good. Why aren't we giving him a chance at Left tackle? Oakland had him in the guard position for some odd reason.

How many games did Campbell start at tackle?? For that matter Hangartner's numbers look great also. Anyone want him to play left tackle?? LOL

And 6 sacks makes you a genius? Paying the guy like he's an Elite LT when clearly he's not. Come on man.

Gross will restructure, he's already said he's expecting it cause he's getting older, obviously they haven't asked him to yet, so hold your horses. Or FO isn't as panicky as the fans on this board. Obviously Gross is not physically there anymore but he still has the brains. Campbell has a brain disorder and he understands things at a much slower rate than the rest.

Well according to this site, 5. He allowed 0 sacks.

Compared to Gross' 09 season when he played 9 games and allowed 5.5...

I don't see why I should be laughing out loud.

Campbell got some time in at LG and probably contributed a few games on ST's. He had 0 starts at LT this season, so the fact he didn't give up any sacks is not very noteworthy.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
