Definitely better than Megatron. Maybe about even with Fitz, not sold he's been better than AJ Green though.

It would be extremely interesting to see what both Ozzie Newsome and Jerry Jones would do with a top 5 pick. I know who my money would be on to not fuck it up as a panic pick after a bad year.

As long as the Cowboys take either Goff or Lynch, I really don't care how "paniced" Jerry looks on draft day.

Top five every round, and you can trade comp picks now? Oz will have us back to top five D in a year (hopefully, if the DC is fired too). While Flacco continues to throw to Dropsy McNobodys and Smith the Elder.

Pretty sure wasting a top 5 pick on a shitty QB would qualify as a panic move.

You go ahead and pray another Romo falls in your lap if you don't want to take a QB with a top 5 pick. Everyone else who actually wants to see a better QB situation than what followed Aikman will hope the Cowboys pick one of the two guys I mentioned.

Huh??
Touchdowns (Robinson 13 vs Green 8 vs Fitz 7)...... And they both have way better QBs.

Robinson drops too many passes. The big play potential is ridiculous, but I wouldn't say he was better than AJ this season. Calvin sure, and Fitz probably. Catching half the passes coming your way is close to Ted Ginn numbers though.

You seem to think drafting a QB in the top 5 means you have a franchise QB. Right now I doubt either of those guys will be the answer at QB, so throwing away a high pick out of desperation just isn't a very good strategy.

Its a bullshit stat regarding Robinson, he is no Ted Ginn, not even close.
I watch most of their games as Orlando only has either them or the Bucs on and he bails Bortles out multiple times a game.

I'd like to avatar bet you sir that the Hawks win the superbowl this year. If they do you wear Russell for a year. If not I'll oblige you.

Of course he's not Ted Ginn, which you backed up brilliantly with your "I watch games" statistic, but 52% catch rate is very low for an elite receiver, most of whom are 60+. Hurns is 59% and Walters is 71% with the same QB. It's certainly partially Bortles, but you can't just throw it all at his feet.
And really it's not even that he has bad hands, I said he "drops" too many passes but that's not really accurate. He just doesn't catch as many as he could/should. Which sounds like semantics but really isn't. He doesn't create the separation he could with better route running so too many passes targeting him are made more difficult than they need to be. He's not really a rocket so he can't just rely on speed for separation. He makes up for it being pretty good battling for the ball and catching high passes. He also hasn't really been great after the catch, again partially Bortles fault, but that something he showed he can do in college and should improve.
I love the kid, I reached a bit for him in fantasy and it paid off well. But there's absolutely nothing wrong with AJ Green making the pro bowl ahead of him this season.

Fitz's numbers aren't as good as they should be this year because Arians likes to use him to block on a ton of plays. They had Arians on the local sports talk show this week and he basically said that he has a bunch of cool Fitz plays dialed up but he's saving them for the playoffs. I'd put money on Fitz being a badass come playoff time.

I'll avatar bet just for shits and giggles but it doesn't change the validity of my statement . Russell is just one cog in a very well built team. An important one but there are a shitload of other important ones too. If that rustles jimmies than that's even better.
You pick my Wilson and I'll figure out something for you. Open for suggestions from anyone though lol.
