While I agree a little more with you here I see things differently when trying to give a true comp. Having a couple of traits shouldn’t equal a true comp IMO. That’s why I labeled it lazy, they’re not really that close.
Quite a few players you can say this about, yet we don’t keep seeing ED comps. IMO fans like to comp to really good proven players of the past or present when it’s mostly a reach. It’s more like, there’s a couple things that remind me of him but he’s not ED and can’t justify the full comp.
Seems like they value stout edge setters than flame throwers. Even when Harris and JOk were healthy, they were relegated to sub package guys. It’s the Cominsky’s, Paschels (when healthy) that seem to get the snap volume. Hutch rarely comes out, but he’s more stout than flame. Personally I’d like to see more flame and Houston is definitely that.
I was thinking the same thing while watching some of Will Anderson’s games today. He’s not particularly stout in the run game. He’s quick and can get around blocks but I feel teams, given the choice will run right at him. Given the choice between running at Hutch or running at Anderson, you run at Anderson.
With the Rams winning this week, I really don’t think Anderson is going be around by the time we pick. They also will likely beat Denver, who is just terrible.
Honestly - Denver needs to bench Russel. Rams won last week scoring 17 points. Denver can hold them to that or less. I am pretty confident a backup QB will outperform Russel right now. Not saying he is the better QB. Just that with the off field and on field issues a back up will have more success. If Denver plays their backup QB I am on record saying they beat the Rams.
Depending on what seattle does with the assets they got, actual i think regardless it is the most lopsided trade or at least tied with herschel and ricky williams
I actually feel for the guy it’s hard to say he’s a bad evaluator overall, but he’s made two glaring, horrible decisions (Russ & the coach) that will likely cost him his job. Be careful in the veteran QB market, sheesh.
Yeah. I do think he’s a competent guy who as you said just had three monster misses. Three bc I’d argue the trade and the extension were individually bad decisions. To be hinest the contract is worse than the trade itself in a lot of ways.
Yeah that’s fair, I lump them together because I figure they knew when they were making the trade that a new contract was part of it. So he could have balked on the trade if he didn’t want to pay the contract. Either way it’s turned out to be one of the worst decisions in history. Gives you a lot more respect for Pete as a coach.
