Oh my dear god what?
If Te'o ends up throwing a score of 8 on the board, I want nothing to do with him. I'm not sure how much you actually know about the game of football, but you need intelligent players at the MLB/ILB and Safety positions. So if Geno Smith goes out there and has a bad combine, throws up a below average Wonderlic, and Te'o tears it up and posts a 25+ Wonderlic, I'm not going to be surprised at all if we draft him. Nor would I oppose it. |

Inside Linebackers do NOT impact the game in today's NFL like quarterbacks do. We have a bigger need at quarterback than at inside linebacker. We have to take the quarterback. End of story. |

Thats about the only position that has worse value or impact on a game that a non-pass rushing ILB in a 3-4. JFC the stupid is strong this year. Is this some kinda weird catholic thing or something? Please say yes so I can understand that you aren't completely reeruned just deluded.

I am not arguing FOR drafting Te'o, if you believe that, you clearly cannot read. I'm simply playing devils advocate and saying I am not OPPOSED to drafting him, like some of you are. I'm not advocating drafting for safety either, I'm all for taking a shot at a guy here. But you don't pass up what could be the best ILB for the next decade, all because you're needy at QB. You don't even get that right to make an argument against that since you didn't even start your 2nd year QB this year. If Geno or Barkley or whoever doesn't just absolutely blow the world away in Pro Day and Combine workouts, you can't just haphazardly throw that pick away because you need a QB. Quote:
In all honesty, there are VERY FEW QB's in this league you can make that argument for them winning games. Brady, Mannings, Rodgers, Ryan(despite the lack of playoff wins) sure, and most of them are in the playoffs. But half of them also have a solid ground game too. It isn't always about the QBs on the teams, but it is about the WHOLE team functioning as one unit. Having a solid running game and solid defense, will win you more games than not, and help pave the way to a playoff run. After all, I don't give a **** if we make the playoffs to get blown out by the Colts, I want to win a playoff game for a change, and that is going to require us to have a solid defense and a good QB. Of which we have neither right now. Quote:
Again, I'm not saying we shouldn't take a QB, I'm saying that I'm not opposed to taking Te'O if no QB truly shines, and Te'o looks like a golden goose. And yes, I remember a young DJ under Herm, I remember the rest of the team under Herm too, you aren't placing all of this on DJ are you? lol. I remember that same argument coming up in 2009 when we took Tyson Jackson over Aaron Curry, up until this year, that pick looked to be wrong as well. Who knows, maybe we'll bring Curry in this off season and see if he can earn a spot lol. |

Jesus kid, let it go lol.

You say that the least impact player in a 3-4 is the ILB, but DJ happens to be a pro bowler, happens to be our best defensive player, no questions asked. Without him, our defense crumbles to shit, and it isn't just talent. You are aware that the ILB is basically the QB of the Defense, his role is more important than any other on the team defensively. It certainly is hard to envision us worse than we are now, but without DJ we'd certainly be 0-16 no doubt about it. Again, to reiterate my point here. I AM ALL FOR GETTING A QB IF HE IS WORTH IT, I AM HOWEVER NOT AGAINST TAKING TE'O IF HE IS AS GOOD AS EVERYONE THINKS HE IS. |
