    Things I have read, likes showing up on game day but doesn’t want to do the work during the week. That will fly in college but not the pros.

    The poor showing at his pro day, that was pathetic.

    Telling teams he won’t visit any outside the top 10.

    This doesn’t conjure up hard worker to me.

    Gaining 9 lbs in the 2 weeks between the combine and his pro day. Not being able to compete the drills. Those are definitely flags. Just how much they affect draft status is very objective.

    If he learns from his racing incident, takes practice and conditioning seriously, and we get the guy that we saw in Georgia game days, that’s huge value at the rumored pick #9. THAT guy is a likely rookie pro bowler and perennial all pro. Will we get THAT guy, or will he be irresponsible as a pro?

    They'd trade up for a defender but not a qb. Interesting.

    If not lazy, just a piss poor attitude. Maybe Heyward can straighten his possible diva attitude out.

    I’m sure he’s crazy talented, but also a headache. N. Suh like could be the comp.

    Another Cam Heyward model is what we need.

    What, the CBS's we have are subs is that what you want? Somebody that
    Plays 4yds off of the receiver. This is pitch and catch.

    That's my point. They didn't trade up to snatch a qb last yr but want to trade uo to draft a defender? More teams trade up for qbs early in the first round than any other position.

    Didn’t have to. Why trade up just to trade up? They knew who their guy was and they knew if he fell past a certain point he’d be available where they selected. If they wanted a QB this year they’d have to move to 2.

    I doubt he will still be on the board at #9.

    Just because you don't take a CB at #17 doesn't mean they won't get a good one, if one of top tackles drops you take him, they can still get a good CB at #32. Peterson and Wallace might not be shutdown CBs, but they aren't subs either :rolleyes:.

    We are not most teams. That's why most teams don't have 6 SB trophies. Matter of fact only US, and the Patriots do. So when these other teams have our success....then You come back, and complain about what the Pittsburgh Freaking Steelers do. :thumbs_up:

    I don't see it happening, the Bears would ask for too much, especially after the Steelers got over on them in the Claypool trade.

    I mean while they have 6 sbs, the formula they used to win those sbs doesn't apply in this current nfl. Trams are doing things far differently now.

    Why didn't they have to? Carolina this yr had to trade up all way to one to secure the guy they wanted.

    We shall See. Outside of KC....I don't see anyone staking up SB wins.
    I mean Tampa Bay won one recently, but do You actually see them get there again soon....No...
    Same exactly with LA...hell they will be lucky just to have winning seasons.
    I'm sick of hearing how great Buffalo is....what have they done???
    Only two teams I truly fear in the AFC.
    KC, and Bengals, and Ravens if they don't sign Lamar Jackson(that would be 3)....because if they do sign Him at what He wants....it will strip that team down quickly...., and with Him on the team they can't beat us....imagine if they pay Him all that money, and have to face us with a even lesser team.

    :lolol:


    At least when Devin Bush Jr came out, there were no reports of lackadaisical behavior and was on the straight and narrow. Agreed though regardless. Cannot get behind this idea.
