Anyone they bring in at QB, including Sanchez, will be in a camp battle for the gig. It's possible, given Sanchez's inconsistency, that EJ outperforms him and wins the job. What is so ridiculous about that?
I'm not sure he is the right fit here. He is a great player but maybe too pricey for what he could offer this offense. That being said, he seems like a guy who will follow the money.
I don't think Roman and Co. are worried about his durability. They aren't married to EJ as a starter and would use him (hypothetically) as a runner despite past injuries. If you look at the carry distribution of Romans offense in the past three years, the QBs ranged from 70-90 carries. Idt shanchez will handle that load. Anyways just my opinion
I think EJ gives us more of a mobile option at QB. I think Roman (correct me if I'm wrong) values more of a west coast approach than EJ has ever experiences. Possibly the quick throws and run heavy game will how EJ the support system he needs be successful.
Why spend money on safeties. They're easily replaceable and often overvalued. He is a great player, don't get me wrong, but idt Whaley wants to pay guys that kind of money.
"Mario Williams never dominated games or was a lynchpin in a great defense or organization."
Maybe it's just me, but the lack or respect this guy gets is unbelievable. Sure, he doesn't put up JJ Watt numbers but he is undoubtedly the best player on what I believe to be a great defense. Numbers don't tell all.
Numbers are numbers. Maxx is smooth and athletic where as I feel JJ appears stiff and mechanic. The numbers are intriguing, but I think Maxx is a by far better option.
That being said, a later pick might be wirth it for JJ

I have a feeling he'll be flying up boards. Only knock is he played in the MAC. Well so did Khalil Mack...
High sought after recruit out of HS
Faced re-occuring injuries
under-utilized
good size
good character
decent speed
good blocker

I feel like we'd be settling with him at TE.
Yolo, Maxx/Clive or bust...
