I want Shamarko Thomas...

I think that he has the toughness that we need at S not to mention his 40 time is a 4.42. This kid runs so hard he did a face plant at the end of his 40 at the combine. He kinda reminds me of Davis and Harris all in one. We can keep Nakamura strickly on ST....

That's the guy with concussion problems IIRC ? Analysts were calling him another Bob Sanders type story.

I just googled Shamarko Thomas concussions and only found where he had one concussion during the Pitts game. Are there more than this or are you calling one concussion, concussions problems?

I'm not calling anything anything.. The analysts were . I know nothing about him was just relaying what I heard no need to get defensive.

40 times mean more for CBs than S. I still like the kid from Texas despite a slow 40.

I don't even thing Nakamura showed he belongs on ST. He isn't an athlete (by NFL standards) and his football IQ seems vastly overhyped....most of his biggest blunders were associated with being dumb.

I like Thomas. He is in the mold of Bob Sanders from a size, speed, and hitting ability standpoint. Also similar to Sanders he's not much of a ball hawk (only 2 picks in his career), more of an in-the-box safety but has some coverage skills. He also plays special teams. Kid was projected as 6th-7th round before the combine but will probably come off the board in the 4th-5th round, may go as high as the 3rd.

I would love to take a look at him with our 4th.

You call a 4.42 40 slow?

    • 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
