It's not reckless at all when you consider that they passed on a superior player to take him there. If you've got two guys with a first-round...
I have no problem with the way the Steelers treated Bell. They handled Brown horribly, but they were right with Bell.
It sounds like he was talking about Bell making intelligent decisions during a game, not in life.
I'm saying a team has to balance a player's value to the team and where they think the player will be drafted. To ignore the latter is foolish....
Yeah, but that isn't the same thing as saying it was the wrong call at the time and having the first year's results show just how right you were...
Thank you for explaining. I knew of the play and I knew who Carol Channing was, but I didn't realize she had an iron woman streak like that.
Of course, the entire league would have known about Stallworth if he was coming out of college now. The point of that example is to illustrate why...
That is all fair. I never liked the Dobbs pick. I just gave them a little more slack because the top three selections were so good.
I'm not calling for his head, either. I find his handling of this offseason far more egregious than simply missing on a player evaluation. I'm...
I have to agree with mac on this one. It is tough to criticize a draft when the first three picks have been as good as Watt, Smith-Schuster and...
Edmunds was only picked in the first round because the Steelers reached. More importantly, that's a terrible argument. Just because a player is...
Actually, that isn't true. If they could have had him in the second or third round, it was a reach. Think back to the example of John Stallworth...
Every list I saw had Leonard higher, but sure, go with the All-Pro as a reach. I'll just leave that one to crumble on its own.
Actually, it is part of the same argument be cause so many rankings had Edmunds as a third-round pick, there is a decent chance he would have made...
Middle linebacker is more demanding than inside linebacker in a 3-4, not less. I wouldn't say transcendent, but clearly good enough that he could...
I'd also rather have him on the field on third down. Yes, Samuels is a better receiver, but Conner is the better blocker. He was excellent in...
How does any of this contradict my claim that they made a mistake? If they did it hoping Shazier would come back, that was stupid. The bottom...
None of this counters what I've been saying. I've pointed out that Edmunds only started due to injury many times. What exactly is it that the...
So now you are willing to say that a guy who was taken in the second round and went on to be earn All-Pro honors as a rookie might have struggled...
It is wildly optimistic to suggest Edmunds could play at an All-Pro level given his performance to this point. Read my post in response to...
