Spin Doctor":1qmxxiia said:Reed is not a good player, period. I don't care if we play him on the edge, on the inside, he's not good. He's had moments where he's looked good, but more often than not he is a liability. This is his fifth year in the NFL and all he has is one good season 3 years ago, and a bunch of mediocre, to below mediocre seasons following. You're doing the exact same thing right now, gleaming onto a season that happened 3 years ago. The fact of the matter is J.J Watt has done more in a six game period than Reed has done in two years.jamescasey1124":1qmxxiia said:They were using reed as an outside de against the cards. I think the idea was to get more pressure with him regardless of other players. If snacks and poona hold down the middle....expect to see Reed out on the edges more often. I wouldn't make the trade because you are reaching for what watt used to be. Not what he is now.
This is not correct. Your evaluation of Jarran Reed is way off.
Marcel Dareus was a premier DT in the league for 10 years, yet their stats are very similar. DTs don't get big numbers. I don't think anyone besides NFL coaches and GMs can legitimately evaluate DTs.
