Next 5 Years, Who Do You Take?

[one5beast]

Von Miller

JJ Watt

Patrick Peterson

Duane Brown

Jonathan Cooper


One player for each level of the defense. JJ Watt and Von can really rush the passer and also stop the run. PP is a young up and coming corner who is a dynamic returner in case offense is sucking.

I went in a different route with the offense. I would use a ZBS to help the run game and the QB that will probably suck. Duane Brown a very athletic T and would fit very well in the ZBS and is also very good pass protecting only giving up 1 sack. And Jonathan Cooper is a rookie but is very athletic for a guard and can really pull.

Well Reed barely found a job (even tho I'm surprised by that) part of it is because he has few good years left

And Revis is a CB coming off an ACL, not an easy thing to do

And the biggest error you made is thinking that two secondary players can possibly be better than a pass rush ...this is coming from a secondary specialist..

Pass rush is always how you build a defense first...while I love having top notch secondary play as well, and ideally you want both, if I have to pick one, without question I'm going pass rush...pass rush can make an average secondary good and lack of it can make a great secondary look average...

You'll see more SB winners with top notch pass rush than top notch secondary players...and again, I've played CB my whole life...I'm fully for having a top notch secondary, but I'm still smart enough to know pass rush comes first...

Lol funny. I like that you are so convinced I am wrong. However, I am pretty convinced with what I did and why. Lets leave it at that.

Thought long and hard about Peterson but read somewhere he gave up 5 TDs last year. However he is electric returning the ball and obviously always improving so I could go either way

He'll be a top corner in this league very soon, trust ...

That'd be a damn good way to start...I couldn't go with Sherman cuz of his damn mouth n personality ...had to go with my boy PP

Yah, someone would end up slapping him, which is not the best way for team mates to interact!

Key for this thread is selecting only 5 players and i thought this is the best. I think Trindon Holliday is extremely good at his one trick, better than anyone right now. Welker is money.

Well, i can have a sloppy pass rush with solid DBs, i am good. No one better than Revis and Ed Reed. Ask Tom Brady.

Why wouldn't you just take PP, instead of one trick Holliday...look I'm Holiday's biggest fan, I wanted him when he was in HOU...but a first 5 player? Same goes for Welker, how in the hell do you take him over Megatron/AJ Green no matter when you're tryna win...?

Imo same goes for Reed and Revis ...pass rush is more important ...anyhow not tryna single you out or anything, but this list caught my eye as a pretty bad one

In five years Fitz and Welker will be on their way out, not sure this will win a SB after 2-3 years

In 5 years Fitz will only be 34. Steve Smith is 34 and still productive, and Fitz is a top player so I'll take my chances.

Fair point on Welker. He will be 37 in 5 years. I would hope he can still produce in the slot. 3 very good years then a couple of 'solid' Stokely like one's.
