A Nash trade is only as worthwhile as the pieces you get in return. Just because we should trade him and rebuild doesn't mean the offers will be their to justify pulling on the trigger.
Intangibles, yes. Leadership, yes. Ability to read, react to pro defenses? Very questionable IMO.
His ability to extend plays may mask that ala Roethlisberger.
I will continue saying this, but it wouldn't matter if we had Revis & Bailey as our CBs because they'd still get torched without having a pass rush. It's football 101.
Slin is right, the draft has some good prospects. It's top heavy, just not deep.
In regards to the topic of tanking, this team is bad and poorly constructed, so they may not need to openly tank to still secure a top 10 pick.
He's been with the program for less than a year, so it's tough to gauge his total impact, but by most accounts he's already had a major impact on the QB play (which I don't think is the team's biggest weakness).
Having a large offensive line that struggles in pass protecton, 3 mediocre-to-good running backs, only run-blocking tight ends, turnover proned/inexperienced QBs. All of these things make me believe that the team was built to run the ball. Never said they did it well. Also I think many of us...
