Who Is Overvalued For The Commanders Currently?
Let's go to the other side of the spectrum here. And this one's less fun for commanders fans to hear. But these are the guys being overvalued that are getting a little too much out going into the season. You already discussed the name to me. Yami Brown screams this one more catch in his career in an extra year than Malcolm Kelly had before he was out of football entirely. I've done this dance before. I have read about how good he looks and shorts in a t-shirt. I've seen best shape of his life higher to private chef took ballet in the off season. Whatever the hell it is, he is not a thing. He is a deep breath that doesn't get open deep. I just don't see it. I don't see what they see. Maybe they like his physicality and he'll be good for blocking. Maybe he's a Josh Morgan 2.0 from from 2012. But there's a reason they wouldn't got Noah Brown. I'd kill supersede him and supplant him and some of those two receiver sets. I think it's a lot more Zacchaeus. I just don't see much much production. It'll be more than his 12 catches his gaudy 12 of last year. But it's not a thing where now we have a bona fide number two receiver internally. So it's really, really hard to find a guy on offense other than Diami Brown, if I'm being honest, which speaks to the fact that there's not a lot of expectation around the board. That's good point. Yeah. I went with Jamison Crowder and it's not like everyone says he's going to have a great year. But we talk about him as in the mix to play a lot. And I just think by the end of the year, he's going to be kind of on the outside looking in whether he's not on the team or he's deactivated or he's on the bench or what have you. I think it'll be more Zacchaeus, more Noah Brown, more Luke McCaffrey, maybe even more Byron Pringle. If that's not good enough, if you're saying, well, there's not really a lot of expectation for him, I guess I would go with the Lamadeza Kia. So I actually like fine, but kind of the same deal you did with Diami Brown, which is to say he got 10 balls last year in a good offense. Maybe he gets a lot of work early, but I think as the season goes on, ideally maybe phasing him out too strong, but I'd like a little more Luke McCaffrey, a little more Noah Brown in the equation. How about on the defensive side of the ball? I, I don't like saying this one. This, I feel bad because I feel bad for the kid, but I just don't see it with the manual forbs. This is we, I think we've talked ourselves into like, this is the perfect recipe. You got Dan Quinn, he was legit a boom, you see, and Joe Whit turned Ron Bland into a superstar, Trayvon Diggs before him. The manual forbs, it's going to happen for real. Nope. I just don't think so. I hope so. It would be nice to be cool, but I think we've talked ourselves into this as, as a fan base, they're going to give him a shot. I think he's got a shot because he's a first round draft pick, who's under contract, no matter what you do, and you could cut him and get rid of him, but you'd have dead cat money for multiple years and it, there's not much to it. So you might as well just go out and see if he can play in a year that you're rebuilding, especially on the defensive side of the ball where you were worst in the league last year and any improvement is, is good. I just don't think we've got one of these diamonds in the rough that all took was a better, a little bit better coaching. I don't think we had it. But you get the sense there's a lot of hype for Forbes being good because he's hated on social media by the fan base. Yeah, but I, I think the, the other side of that is this, this magic bullet recipe that wits here and, and so is Dan Quinn and their pedigree and then coach secondaries and you just watch, they'll, they'll find something. I just, I don't see it. I hope I'm wrong. I don't love this answer, but I had a hard time coming up with a good one. So I'll say Bobby Wagner, he's 34. I mean, it's some point you would think just inevitably you've got to slow down. It did not happen last year. He made a hundred and eighty three tackles to lead the NFL for the third time in his career. It was, by the way, a career high tackles are not the end all deal at his position, but pretty close and he was a second team all pro. He has been no worse than a second team all pro every single year of his career dating back to 2013. Think about that. Mm hmm. From 2014 through 2023, a 10 season run. He has been either one of the top linebackers in the league or the second version, like the top two basically inside linebackers and football as voted at years end. I don't think that'll be the case this year. I'll say it's a hundred and forty some tackles, hundred fifty tackles, whatever, but he's not in the top two and all pro falls off a little bit. And maybe because of that, a little bit of overvaluing the fact that while he'll be good, he's not going to be as great as he was last season. And it just, what happens around here? Like you sign a guy at thirty four, you pay him after he's been really good for thirteen years and he's starting to think about what's next in his career and following around the commissioner for a day in the off season. And generally, it's just not the same. The motivation isn't quite the same. Yeah, for every London Fletcher, there's like seven Jason Taylor's. You know what I mean? Who are at the same spot in their excellent careers. Here we go, folks. Looks like another fan is lining up to use his official Broncos debit card only from End Credit Union. Wow, what a play!
