    Bill Davis (LBs Coach) - Can He Develop Young Talent?

    I have no idea what you are talking about. I don’t know what you think “natural linebacker instincts” are, but in the modern NFL, being sufficient in coverage is probably more valuable than being solid against the run. If you can’t drop into coverage - you can’t stay on the field. Simmons...

    Bill Davis (LBs Coach) - Can He Develop Young Talent?

    I mean it’s not like that at all. Saying “great athletes will be great” and dismissing the impact of good & bad coaching is crazy. There’s a reason the Patriots, Steelers, Ravens, etc. continuously produce & develop talent year after year. There’s also a reason the Browns, Jets, Jaguars, etc...

    Bill Davis (LBs Coach) - Can He Develop Young Talent?

    Dope response. I provide an example of our coach’s struggle to develop talent at a previous job - and I get attacked for overhyping the referenced player. Meanwhile - our #8 overall draft pick LB got humiliated in his first start on multiple plays, and then benched for the foreseeable future...

    Bill Davis (LBs Coach) - Can He Develop Young Talent?

    A few quotes I'll include from a few of the included links: "However, he also said he felt abandoned by someone at Ohio State (presumably referring to Bill Davis). Browning declined to name any individuals, and admits some complicity in the breakdown of the relationship. Regardless, the episode...

    Bill Davis (LBs Coach) - Can He Develop Young Talent?

    I know there is an entire thread dedicated to the recent struggles of Isaiah Simmons, but I really believe this topic deserves its own thread. I hate to be the one to say that I expected the early struggles out of Isaiah Simmons - but unfortunately I truly did. The moment he was drafted, I got...

    DJ traded to the Texans for DeAndre Freaking Hopkins

    This needs to become official so I can sleep at night :bigyawn:

    Who do you WANT the Cardinals to draft if they can't trade down?

    I completely understand wanting Kyler Murray over Nick Bosa. I don’t get wanting Quinnen Williams over Nick Bosa. At all.

    Bosa, help me out

    Devil's advocate... If he was so dominant - why didn't he factor in until this year? Why didn't anybody know who he was his first two years at school? Nick Bosa walked into a loaded DLine at Ohio State as a freshman and showed that he was the dominant guy. He continued to show it for 2 1/2...

    Bosa, help me out

    Yeah but he was the dominant guy throughout those 2 1/2 years. He played with all NFL guys and was no doubt the superior talent. It's not like he just blended in with the rest of them. He stood out and dominated more than anyone else. It sounds more like you just don't want to change your mind.

    Bosa, help me out

    Bosa played on a loaded defensive line and rotated with a bunch of future NFL players during his Freshman & Sophomore seasons. Just at DE, Bosa played with: - Tyquan Lewis (2018 2nd Round Pick) - Sam Hubbard (2018 3rd Round Pick) - Jalyn Holmes (2018 4th Round Pick) - Chase Young (projected...

    Poll - Cards first Rd pick?

    So stupid. Nick Bosa is a lot closer to (if not better than) Joey Bosa as a prospect. That is a reasonable expectation to have. There's only been one Aaron Donald in the history of football - and he dominated college football for three years. The odds of Quinnen Williams becoming Aaron...

    The Rosen Problem

    Okay. We can play that game. Give me a list of all current NFL QBs that you would consider "good" that had bad stats in college.

    The Rosen Problem

    Well whoever said that Kyler's dominance of college football means nothing is probably even more stupid. College success does not mean that you will be successful in the NFL. That's obvious. However - if you are not an elite performer at the college level, it is highly unlikely that you will...

    The Rosen Problem

    Is that sarcasm? Why would you not look at his college performance? He's played in 13 NFL games. He played three years of college football, and graded out very favorably by your precious PFF. I guarantee you that there is a strong correlation between NFL success & college football success...

    The Rosen Problem

    I have no problem with anyone saying that it is likely Rosen will be an average NFL QB. That's not exactly a hot take. What I have a problem with is you claiming that Rosen becoming a top QB would be some kind of miracle. Just because you keep quoting statistics that fit your narrative...

    The Rosen Problem

    The only posts I've mentioned and responded to: You cited and agreed with PFF's assessment that Rosen's ceiling is QB15. To make a claim like that after just 13 games with his track record of college success is stupid and indefensible.

    Murray may not run at Pro Day Today (3/13)

    Just because each "could suck" doesn't mean that they are equally likely to suck. I don't think anybody would argue that the odds of Bosa being a bust are far lower than that of Murray. Murray probably has more upside - but he no doubt has a tremendous amount of risk attached. Yikes. The...

    Murray may not run at Pro Day Today (3/13)

    Even having "strong influence" is stupid. It should be Keim's decision to figure out what the best decision is. What's best for the Cardinals isn't always going to be what's best for Kingsbury. What Kliff wants doesn't (and shouldn't) matter nearly as much as people make it seem.

    The Rosen Problem

    1. I didn't ask a question. 2. I have no idea what your predictive model outline has anything to do with this. It's not even a good outline. You're out here citing PFF player forecasts as if they're fact. I am here to tell you that, while their model is probably better than a lot of...

    The Rosen Problem

    I guarantee you their analytical models for forecasting future success are nowhere near as accurate as you are making them out to be. Given all the variables at hand for projecting future NFL success - 13 games, or however many Rosen played last year, would very likely not be anywhere close to...

    Murray may not run at Pro Day Today (3/13)

    Exactly. Smart teams don't just give out personnel control to just anybody. There's a lot that goes into being a general manager that has almost nothing to do with knowing football. Being a coach does not necessarily make you qualified to be a general manager. A head coach can have an...

    The Rosen Problem

    Whoever said that (if quoted correctly) is absolutely stupid. A player's ceiling refers to their absolute peak potential. You could have a 0.01% chance of reaching that potential - but it is still your ceiling. If those guys think that, under absolutely perfect conditions, that the best Josh...

    Murray may not run at Pro Day Today (3/13)

    Bill Parcells was a head coach & general manager. It was literally his job to make personnel decisions. Kliff Kingsbury is a head coach. Steve Keim is the general manager. If you want Kliff Kingsbury to "drive your franchise" - then make him general manager too. Until then - he shouldn't be...

    Murray may not run at Pro Day Today (3/13)

    I mean that's just a terrible take. There's a big difference between not wanting Murray with the #1 overall pick, and not thinking that he could ever become a franchise QB. I'm as against drafting Murray at #1 as anyone here - but to say that you can't understand how anyone could ever imagine...

    Murray may not run at Pro Day Today (3/13)

    Do you seriously not realize how crazy that is? That thought process is absolutely insane. Kliff has never coached a day in the NFL. He has zero experience with NFL talent evaluation. If Keim is giving him any sort of power in this decision, he should be fired immediately. You don't trade...
