Buckle up. Unfortunately, we already know he will get extended. That means we are stuck with him for at least 3-4 more years depending on the specifics of his extension. That is the sad cold hard fact.
Yup. Unfortunately, those thinking we are going to dump him are most likely pipe dreaming. I guess there's a tiny chance it could happen, I just don't see it happening. Our best shot is to build a nutlock D and get a nasty tough yds Rb. Think Marshawn Lynch. Desperately need NFL quality LB's and a big nasty 3 tech that cannot be denied. Chris Jones, Aaron Donald, Jeffrey Simmons, Cam Heyward, Wilkins, Quinnen Williams, Buckner, Jon Allen, Fletcher Cox. There are actually more of this type in the NFL than you'd think, but to find one you'd have to start drafting for them instead of chasing TE's, CB's, and WR's incessantly. That dude in PITT, Demarvin Leal, looks like he might be one such. PITT took him in the 3rd in the 22 draft. We could've had him if not for inexplicably falling in love w/ Sam Williams in the 2nd. Is he going to succeed? Don't know yet, it's really hard to find the disruptive 3 tech type, but you won't find them if you don't try. Need change in drafting philosophy. Desperately.
