That's possible. The number of 1st round busts is higher than most think. But his biggest issue was technique a d poor coaching so I'd like to see how he progresses next year before I worry about him. I said during the draft I'm happy with the pick but I'd have gone with that QB that fell if he was even close on my board.
Dude, you know there are FAR MORE BUSTS at quarterbacks taken in the first two rounds than at skilled and or other positions?? Yes its true... Now if you wanna argue we probably should have took a quarterback after the fifth round someone like Stetson Bennett, who I was high on, I mean at that point in the draft why not? he was already older more experienced came off of productive team and look at so far in preseason, how he's looking yet this board made fun of him and said he's old that is overrated he's never going to be anybody..hmm agian here comes the knowitall internet gms,
I mean didn't isn't that why Tom Brady and Tony Romo and Kurt Warner all got passed up and look what happened with them. So if you wanted to address the backup quarterback situation with a possibility they could be the quarterback of the future you should have done that after the fifth round when we had more flexibility with the draft picks.
This is why you should leave it up to the scouts and the GM's to who they pick they like this guys measurables he's big he's strong he fits a big glaring need when Hankins isn't going to be here next year, I DO NOT believe he's not gonna be a bust...
why people keep saying that and just two preseason games seriously can we stop the nonsense???!!!!
It's not about the flashy pick sometimes it's about adding a player that fits a need but it's not a reach everyone says this on these boards early on Tyler Smith was a project he was a reach that wasn't true, there are people on here that said we shouldn't even take Micah Parsons because he's an off the ball linebacker when if they watched him in college, they'd see what our scouts saw that he was much more than that but people saying that he wasn't even worth being taken at #12 and we got a third round pick..
crazy opinions like that is why fans need to stop trying to be GM we take a quarterback that sits for three years and still might be a bust or take a guy which was really close to the second round, by the way where we are picking, we need to keep that in mind, that could possibly fill a need that we haven't filled in a decade...
I mean we finally fixed the safety position I remember the fan saying that the front office and the coaching staff didn't know how to value the safety position and we were never gonna fix that area.. hmm also a bad opinion from the fan base.AS Usual
I think we're doing a good job of finding new tight ends this scouting department is has to fill a lot of holes every year they lose about 17 to 25% of their players that they have to refill the bottom of that roster and at the same time replace players acquisitions that we've been scrambling to do so for a long time.
So again, you're right we got to wait not one year, not two years, I think we should see progress between now and three years and we'll be able to make a real decision on Mazi or many other draft picks I mean can we not knee jerk overreact after two preseason games.....??
I think this fan base forgets what a nose tackle really is so much so because we haven't had one in such a long time that they think what they're seeing is poor play and what I'm telling you this is a rookie who's had far more positive plays than negative he's done far more good things so far what I've seen in camp and in preseason that I believe at worst we're going to get a solid rotational nose tackle player for a very long time he's going to get stronger and smarter with experience and I believe regardless of his stat sheets,
he's going to fill a nice role for this team he just gives me that vibe that he's big and can get bigger.. I mean he's in great shape he's not fat nose tackle he's a pile of stone type nose tackle meaning he can get stronger and he can learn more technique he has not played a lot of football from what I understand. so, he's still learning and we're already getting this is raw vanilla mazi and so I like what I'm seeing because he has so much more room to grow and I think that he will.
If he doesn't we can all revisit this in three years and talk about it but right now the overreactions are priceless just like last year all preseason historically bad offseason this is going to be a bad year even after Prescott breaks his hand nobody seems to be on Prescott's bandwagon but then they thought the season was really over they started using the word tank this happened when we started three and five in 2018 fans just need to stop with the ridiculous saturation of negativity in doom and gloom sky is falling attitudes on players and what our record might be how about this enjoy the season..
It's one game at a time you string together them and you hope that in the end of the season your team is in contention in some manner we just need to make the playoffs.. But all the early talk about what they think the records are going to be the rankings are going to be already talking about rookies are busts because of what they're seeing I mean is it Tolbert one of those guys everybody said was going to be a complete bust and while I don't know where he's going to end up, he's definitely improved from his rookie year to now.....
I know it's human nature to do this but it's just ridiculous this judging rookie this soon is the most ridiculous out of all the ridiculousness that's said in social media...
