You are failing to see Simmons's impact on those around him. We will have more talent on the DL after the draft and June 1 cuts. Crazy that the Merry Band played at the same level without him as they did with him. That said, I don't think this is the time to trade him. It's not a retarded idea to consider it, but we have enough holes to fill, we don't need to create more. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I realize it's a kinda dumb popularity contest, but it's telling a "top 5 DT" didn't make PB. You do realize that Simmons got injured 13 games into the season and went on IR?

Would you trade Simmons for a 1st and Sneed? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SleepingTitan Posted March 20 Author Report Share Posted March 20 I don't know what the equivalent WAR analytic is for football, but Simmons doesn't get us wins like 2 players at other key positions would. A DT is not moving the fucking needle on wins (at his current production.) A good starter level corner is better than Simmons for this team. If we could get a starting corner AND even a 2nd round pick, it would be worth it. But go ahead and hang on to your 1990's defensive philosophy and man crush on Big Jeff. charleytolar 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Callidus Posted March 20 Report Share Posted March 20 5 hours ago, SleepingTitan said: I'm not trying to make some miracle discovery. I think this warrants serious discussion. Just like trading Tannehill, Byard, and Henry did. In the end, we got nothing. We've let so many good players walk out the door without extending or trading them. If this org wants to really talk about "sustainability" like they claim, they need to start farming and getting results from yield. It's equally important to know when to sell a stock as it is to know what stock to buy in the first place. This isn't nearly the same. Those were old players. Simmons just got his first extension. You don't sell off your assets at the start of a rebuild. You do it before which is why everyone talked about trading all of them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, one who doesn’t get injured and plays like the “supposed” top 5 player! Total sarcasm. This is a bludgeoning. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NashvilleNinja Posted March 20 Report Share Posted March 20 6 hours ago, Justafan said: Hilariously bad take. Maybe he should consider one of the reasons Jeff has fallen off is because of the pressure of keeping the team competitive in games it has no business being competitive in. When your offense goes damn near a full season without scoring 30 points the work for the defense tends to trend upward. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
