And we've played Marshawn Lynch, CJ Spiller, Fred Jackson, and Adrian Peterson. I'm putting most of that on the fact that we now have Star at DT and not Fua

 

Star isn't involved in that many snaps to solely be the reason for the improved DL play..  Colin Cole and Kawann Short have played just as big of a role.

 

This team still looks forward to Dwann Edwards getting healthy so Fua isn't on the field performing Biellmann spins while the rest of the team attempts to actually play football like warriors.

I just don't understand how Fua can be so fuging bad.  I mean the dude is huge but gets pushed around like he weighs 150 lbs.  I've never seen him make a play since he's been drafted... that's terrible.  Even the worst of players flash at least once.  Ohhhh noo, not Fua though.

Just looked it up... Fua has 9 tackles since he's been here.  I mean he has 13 assists, but you know that was just his fatass jumping on top of the pile after everyone else did the work.

 

9 fuging tackles, and 0 sacks and it's not like he hasn't had significant playing time... now coming into his 3rd year.  Somehow he managed to force one fumble, but I'm not convinced that isn't a typo.

    • As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it. 
    • If you plug Bryce onto the Pro Bowl roster you might have a chance to compete for a SB. If he's surrounded by top tier talent with a top tier defense on the other side, a field flipping punter, and a kicker good from 60+ you might have a chance. But that means you basically have to recreate Saban's Bama in the NFL and that's impossible... and Bryce couldn't win a championship in that environment either. What the Panthers didn't realize when they got so obsessed with his "PG mentality" was that what they were looking st was a "barely checks the box PG". The basketball equivalent of Bryce would be an undersized PG with marginal athleticism who can make the basic plays but adds nothing to the team in terms of elevating the overall team. Not a great shooter, not a great defender, not a great driver. Just a guy who can basically get you into the offense and be a matador on defense. Basically a placeholder while you look to upgrade the PG position.
