Anyone who says without a doubt he can rush the passer is at best being dishonest.

All right answer me this, how does a LB get a sack while dropping back in coverage? Did you miss how he is known as a coverage LB? The guy was not asked to rush the QB in college.

Which means he doesn't rush the passer right? Rushing the passer is something you can't just teach someone to do, if it was a premier pass rusher wouldn't be valued like he's gold...think about that.

Until someone gives an example of a player that played LB in college and successfully made the transition to 3-4 OLB, the point is moot.

Donnie Edwards played OLB in the 3-4, just off the top of my head. He played ILB and OLB in the 3-4, as well as MLB and OLB in the 4-3.

But, for the record, I do not want Curry playing OLB in the 3-4.

Donnie Edwards played ILB in the 3-4 and teams don't spend premium draft picks on 3-4 ILB unless they're the Patriots and they're loaded everywhere already.

He played both.

No he didn't. He may have played there in an emergency but he was primarily an ILB.

I'm going to tell you right now you're going to go in a huge circle now.

He was primarily an ILB in the 3-4, which was the best fit for him. But, he did play outside for a full season in the 3-4.

But, again, we don't dissagree that Curry's best fit is at ILB. We also don't dissagree that Donnie's best fit was at ILB.

I don't believe he played more than a few downs at OLB in San Diego.

You are right... teams don't. And, most of the time they shouldn't.

In this case, I think it is the player that makes the most sense.

I brought that up a bit ago, I want an example, 3-4 OLB's are converted DE's not traditional backers "taught" to rush the passer.
