For most of the fans, Edmunds lack of success in the playoffs (to be a dominant LB) is a big negative against him. You expect your core player to be a superstar and not just a star. Tremaine needs to get to that next level when the things count in the playoffs. he was so-so in the playoffs. People are looking at him to be that same time of player such as a Ray Lewis or Troy Polamalu - Guys who took over games.
This is all hype to drive that market for the QBs...this is the same thing that happened in 2018....eventually the Bills, Cardinals and Ravens drafted their QBs at much lower positions after at one time where everyone thought the QBs will go in the top 6-7 positions.
He would compete with Darnold for the starting job. Darnold will probably get his fifth year option picked to give the Panthers a 2-year window to develop him. Good move for the Panthers
For the last ten years, watching EVERY SINGLE game at 11:30 PM or at 2:30 AM my local time and then going into work a few hours later (Monday morning).
I don't agree with the assertion that we cannot be a top 5 defense.... We technically have
* A all-pro CB
* Two well rounded Safeties that don't make mistakes
* Two all-star Linebackers
* A DT picked in the top 10 in the draft and an all-star DE
This core group with some exciting peripheral players definitely has a chance to be a top-5 defense.
I guess they have to improve the technique. You cannot expect to the do the same with the same players and expect a different result.
I think some of the run game blame is due to the lack of confidence in our RBs.
