I agree with this point. Fitz is a good backup. The reality is a superstar at QB can win games, make key third down throws, key red zone throws, bring a team from behind in the fourth quarter regardless of the quality of the opponent. Fitz is not going to do that. That said, the lack of talent all over the field is consistent with an expansion team, we need help everywhere.

Troup is not the problem. The lack of the lb's to get off blocks and run to the ball exposes them when runner bounces it outside or if the other team runs a reverse, our cb's and lbs are single blocked by te's, rb's and wr's. Troup actually drew a double team a few plays; a rarity.

I thought he clogged things up pretty well, even managed to draw a few double teams. His role is not one that is going to be real flashy, unfortunately our horrible linebackers can't get to the ball anyways.

QB all day. Ralph will have to open his wallet for a real DE or a real OLB.

Every trip to the red zone, the opponent finds the middle of the field wide open. The isolation on Kelsay is automatic as well. Think we might plan for those trends after 5 weeks.

All for it, a fifth might be the best you get for him though.

If one of the QB's grades out as a superstar, gotta take him assuming we have the top pick.

Mouton is a playmaker.

Going back through the Jauron years to present, does anyone else cringe when they see this offensive set. With out outmatched OLine, it is always an instant pressure if not a sack. A lot of good teams don't use this set yet we see it weekly.

Tf Bell looks good for the remainder of the season I would look for a player that could help our front 7. I agree with this. RT is a need but not that high of a pick. pick has to be a difference maker, no development guys.

I like #37 George Wilson myself. I wish he got more playing time than Whitner.

While he has a long way to go, it did seem he was being held a couple of times in the second half.

Edwards and a 6th for a 7th

Mallett sucks...he's Drew II, but won't be as good I don't see the statue comparison. Mallett can move his feet in the pocket, makes nice throws on the move, does not have Drews roundhouse motion, no patting the ball. I see more of a Rivers/Flacco comparison; tall enough to see the field yet can move it he needs to and most importantly Mallett's ball gets there in a hurry with very little air under it. WHo knows if he nakes it in NFL or not, he will be a better choice than Locker.

Sanders plays his position with everything he's got. He throws his body around without too much regard for it. See above for the answer, He was a great player when healthy. Many greats have suffered multiple injuries. Namath, Butkus, Sayers, William Andrews etc etc all missed tons of time.

Nice analysis. Only thing I would add is I thought #54 Davis played pretty well at ILB.

I like Mallet as well Senator. I could live with Carimi or Jeremy Beal ILB of Oklahoma. Gotta let the season play out, some guys not even talked about will emerge.

Like it, he is like an estra lineman on the field

Gonna trust Buddy and Whaley know who they want. Russell is huge for a LB at 280.

Stroud looked great against the first two preseason opponents. I was much more concerned about the linebacking play than Stroud's play. Kelsay looks confused out there.

Bills D is overpursuing every run play. Palmer is tough on the three step drops.

#77 Bell looked good on that drive. Green is shaky.

He has the look of a good special teamer as well. He does like to hit.

I thought McKelvin played great as well. Would have been a great play if held onto that int.

I liked Stroud's play, he is certainly moving around well.
