Quote:Great to see Fowler have a good game. I hold out hope!Its dumb to call a guy a bust when its his first year in the NFL plus coming off an ACL injury, even star players are slow that first year back from an ACL injury

Quote:I'd even add that calling a DE a bust prior to year three is dumb as well. That position traditionally takes time to adjust to the NFL level of play.I know it's his second year as a professional. But he's only had about it 6 months of developing those things (better outside move, stronger hands, etc) while also being limited for the first couple of those months. I think it'll come.
Many edge rushers historically have taken 3 or 4 years to begin showing real production in the NFL and gone on to solid or better careers.
I see this as Fowler's second year, so I don't see why he can't develop a better outside move, get stronger with his hands, and learn to shed blocks more efficiently. He's still got some time by my clock.
Quote:Updated the Fowler and Beasley stats. Just to show there is still some hope.
Vic Beasley first year stats : 537 snaps , 26 tackles 4 sacks 3 PD 1 INT 2 FF 42 pressures 22 hurries.
Dante Fowler first year stats: 488 snaps, 31 tackles 3.5 sacks 4 PDs (no pressure stats yet) 17 hurries.
Not too sure how accurate those hurry stats are but they are both from the same site. So while Fowler hasn't looked great this year stats wise he isn't too far off Beasley although I'd be surprised if Fowler ever turns into the pass rusher that Beasley is today. He's better against the run already though so he still has potential to be an impact player.
Again not saying Fowler is having a better rookie year than Vic. He isn't. Just that it might be closer than some think.
Quote:HOW DARE YOU USE STATS OVER TIME TO MEASURE PERFORMANCE?!?!?!
DON'T YOU KNOW WE ALREADY DECIDED DFJ IS A BUST BECAUSE OF THE LENGTH OF HIS LEFT 4th METATARSAL MEASUREMENT FROM THE COMBINE??!?!?!?!?!
Quote:HOW DARE YOU USE STATS OVER TIME TO MEASURE PERFORMANCE?!?!?!idk what it is with you guys and this opposition to numbers that reflect performance pretty regularly

Quote:besides the fact that kyjaggy consistently provides context to go along with these numbers, nothing he says is ever preposterous. You guys just dont want to hear it because youre still holding out hope fowler wasnt a super reach.Fowler has shown he lacks some of the traits you'd want to see from an edge rusher taken so early - but I think what you are seeing from folks is more about that particular poster's prior failures at analysis than his successes. That, and the fact that he tends to insult others in the process.
Quote:Updated the Fowler and Beasley stats. Just to show there is still some hope.Good stats, and Beasley wasnt coming off an ACL injury and was a much better edge rusher then Fowler coming out of college

Quote:Yannick is still better so far.Also Yannick was a 5th year Sr., pure pass rusher not coming off an ACL injury

He may turn out to be right about Fowler. Maybe. Sure looks like he was way off on Marqise Lee though.
