I mean he did improve, but it was from nearly unplayable to bottom tier interior player. Its kinda like saying Quincy Carter wasnt a bust because his QB rating did technically increase from year 1 to year 2. He still struggled to complete more than half his passes and threw more INTs than TDs, but he still showed improvement.
This is true but as mentioned above, it's encouraging that he finished he season 24th/219 run stops among DI's. But I agree, his bar was so low, he still has a ways to go.
Not saying you're wrong, but where is that stat coming from? I've not seen him ranked that high at all.
Interesting you say that. Nick Harris was on G Bag Nation a week ago. Giving his impressions of mini camp. He said was buying Guyton and selling Mazi FWIW.
ahhh going off of tackles, I get it now. PFF has an actual "stops" category they use as well which was confusing me.
That’s what I’ve always had rounded figuring out. The guy is an athletic freak but doesn’t translate to the field. He’s so slow off the snap he’s always in the hole right away. With his athleticism you’d think he would be a bit quicker off the snap
if you've improved but no one noticed, did you really improve?
I mean, a lot of our fans wouldn't notice much either way. Not many go back to verify what they're saying. They're just saying it because someone else said it.
Quincy wasn't a bust until he started smoking friggin crack, which he says was MJ.
I totally agree. If he was a later pick he would be judged differently. To me he never was a first rnd pick but if he can improve again this year he can play in this league. If he can just get quicker off the snap he could probably be a solid player
That's right. I just think that, as well as his lack of balance, will keep him from ever being a first round talent. In spite of his flaws, he can be decent to solid, which is what we need from him. We need him to take a step in the run game.
