I know Nassib is a big local favorite, but I just don't see it with him. With the team that we currently have, and the plan that Nix has vaguely laid out (getting a WR so stevie can move inside), I can't help but think that our pick at QB will be a guy that is more of a plug n play guy, and to me that's not Nassib. Obviously, I'm on record as a big Geno Smith Fan, however, if he indeed does go before we pick, I think a guy like Tyler Wilson would be a much better fit than Nassib. Living in SEC country, I've had plenty of opportunity to watch Wilson under center @ Arkansas, and while he has had his ups and downs, I think his skill set and upside is exactly what we are looking for moving forward.

Do you realize that every team is comprised of the top 1% of players on the planet. Every team has talent. Its COACHING & EXECUTION that make the difference. We need a quality QB, obviously, but the rest of our problems are schematic not in personnel.

nope, thats not the case, all of these guys were high rated draft picks except stevie. Now, some didnt pan out with their first teams, but have rebounded to become solid players. Matter of fact which ones couldnt make another teams roster?

the question was about team talent, we have alot, but the areas where its lacking are gaping holes

the roster is the evidence, jim. aside from QB we have guys at every position that are quality players, we need better lbs, some wr depth, and a Qb. spiller, johnson, graham, chandler, wood, urbik, levitre, glenn, mario, anderson, dareus, kw, byrd, searcy, gilmore, brooks, and young guys like shep and bradham are still developing. thats a great group of relatively young talent.

again, having talent, which we do, and getting that talent to reach its maximum potential through proper coaching and training, gameplanning etc is a different story. Think about it like this: I have a super bouncy ball, if i drop it from waist level it may bounce up to me eye level but never much higher, even though it has the potential to do so, however if I were to throw it down as hard as possible it would bounce really high. Get it.

yes, this team is loaded with talent. Motivating them, coaching them up, getting them in position and properly managing the game is what was missing. Do we have some areas to improve? sure but top to bottom, we got talented guys at ALMOST every position.

it'll be between Aj and Bridgewater next yr for the top QB spot. McCarron is similar to Brady IMO, hes a big lanky douche thats cool under pressure, will rip into his teammates without hesitation, deadly Accurate, and smart with the football and a big game winner. I don't really care about his Tattoo either, but i'm sure that will become an "issue" for some.

If that's what our offense is gonna look like then cj is gonna have well over 2000 all purpose yards. Lots of screens n checkdowns.

Geno Smith is still my fav in this draft, but im starting to like the idea of tyler wilson and a vet to learn from.

Why does that exclude Smith or Wilson?

Not his first choice, as we know, unless you choose to ignore that fact.

How was this not a Nix move?

High pressure stage? Not all bowl games matter. Lasts night Cotton bowl meant very little except for cash and bragging rights. The Pinstripe bowl...nothing at stake. Now, that Fiesta bowl, little on the line. Point being, its just 1 game, many times a meaningless game. Plus there's the whole month layover. Its just not a valid measure IMO

Bowl games don't mean sh*t

went to HS with a kid named "Iamme" no joke, when you break it down, it says, that right "I am me".

Chan wanted Cam originally when we Drafted #3, so if he gets the chance to go to Carolina Im sure he'll jump.

1:Buddy nix said he's going after a QB, and Yes, he's still in charge. 2:Bowl Games are not a deciding factor, predraft workouts, interviews, reg season game tape, and the Combine mean a whole lot more 3: Is this a joke? Seriously, this kid has ABSOLUTELY no chance of playing QB in the NFL, none, zip, zilch, zero.

Def keep fred for one more year, he can help mentor marcus lattimore when we draft him this year.

again, not to say he can't develop, but he is not a plug n play guy right now if he were to come out. Another yr would benefit him very much. Also, yes, USC has had some great players recently, but what do you think NFL teams are comprised of?

Id prefer Rivers, but honestly, Romo may not be a bad guy to bring in and have a young buck learn from.

Just like the 34, there are different variations of the tampa 2. Just cause Jauron couldnt run it doesnt mean Lovie Cant. His defenses have as much as proven that much. Plus, we played alot of cover 2 principles this year already. In the end its not about the "name" of the scheme, just hope it works.

Thats just it though, you can't take that away, thats part of his game, our game, its part of the deal. If you take away the catches Thurman had out of the backfield he wouldn't look as good either. CJ is a guy that you get the football in different ways. He has shown incredible improvement running b/t the tackles, but you always want to get him the ball in space. CJ is the guy that can be held in check for every play then BAM, lightning strikes and he scores a 66 yd TD. Thats what you get in CJ Spiller, he is not a pound it in the middle 35X/game for 3.5 yds/carry guy.

South Carolina's defense has had little problem handling Boyd. Not to say he can't develop, but he is not going to be a plug n play guy.

For those hoping on the boyd bandwagon I suggest you look at the last 3 yrs worth of games vs USC. It may give you some perspective.
