NoSaint Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 Not saying take him over dareus but looking good for the rams today. Sack, pressures, disruptive at the line a few times in the run/screen game. Seemed like a good kid- glad he's doing well. If he lives up to his UNC hype he could be a beast. I admittedly wanted 1) cam 2) him 3)dareus with a huge flag that the first two had concerns only coaches and front office could evaluate that put me as dareus as the only I would confidently endorse.

San Jose Bills Fan Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 Do not interpret this post as me not liking Quinn… I think he's gonna be great. Here are the rookie sack leaders: Jason Pierre-Paul (drafted last year but didn't play) 7.5 Von Miller (no, as most knew, he is NOT another Maybin) 6.0, 2 FF Aldon Smith (my fave pass rusher from this draft) 5.5 Jabaal Sheard (who I wanted the Bills to take in the 2nd round) 2.5 Robert Quinn 2.0 (including 1 today) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoSaint Posted October 30, 2011 Author Share Posted October 30, 2011 There's a blocked punt- anyone see him playing this year? How has he looked otherwise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
San Jose Bills Fan Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 There's a blocked punt- anyone see him playing this year? How has he looked otherwise? I had heard that he's playing well… but they have two excellent DEs… Chris Long and James Hall who had double figure sacks last year to lead the Rams. Wish we had 3 good pass rushers… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John from Riverside Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 We only have so many draft picks.....hopefully Shep will come in and tear it up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koufax Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 I would love to have had Quinn and Miller on our team, but had Dareus higher than either with our #3 pick, and neither were around when we picked Aaron Williams. Dareus is playing well now, and will continue to be a huge part of our defense for years. I am very happy with our pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
San Jose Bills Fan Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 Other rookies that are looking great this year include Cam Newton who is an AMAZING player. Also, Christian Ponder looks excellent. Houston's OLB Reed Brooks has become a starter in the wake of the injury to Mario Williams and Reed has been excellent… I believe he also has 2 sacks.

John Cocktosten Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 Dareus is going to be great. He's been rock solid at a position that has the toughest learning curve next to QB as a rookie. He's able to play multiple position (0,3,5) and he's been disruptive all year long. Buddy actually got that one right. Quinn had one good year at UNC. He has 4 tackles and 2 sacks this year. Relax.

ajzepp Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 Other rookies that are looking great this year include Cam Newton who is an AMAZING player. I have to eat a lot of Crow regarding Cam. I was scared to death that we were going to draft this kid, cause I honestly felt like he was going to get eaten alive by the NFL game. I was completely wrong, and clearly he's a stone cold winner. He just goes out and gets the job done. He's throwing well, he's using his legs to make plays when appropriate,and he's a leader on the field. I'm very, very impressed with him.

I had no idea how he would do because I hadn't seen but one game of his career and honestly, I have a hard time evaluating college QBs in terms of how they project to the pros. But there's zero question that he's far exceeded any expectations I had for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But there's zero question that he's far exceeded any expectations I had for him. The fact that I HAD seen a lot of his play at Auburn, AND listened to a ton of talk radio down here in SEC country about him, both were reasons why I thought he'd fail at the NFL level. All these "experts" talked about how his offense at Auburn only asked him to make 1-2 reads per snap, because he wasn't able to handle more than that...things that I started to really get nervous about, you know? And he was so dominating when he ran with the ball during his college years that I had questions about his accuracy. But he's taken it all in stride and just went out and played ball. Kudos to him...he's going to be a lot of fun to watch for many years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 I love the Dareus and Williams picks(Williams I thought was great value). On draft day I would of also been happy with AG Green, Quinn or Sheard/Reed with our second pick. I too will eat crow- I didn't care for Peterson or Newton and both look like the real deal to me now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
