I know it was a high price for him. I fully understand it is a risk. I just think that it will pay off barring injury, which is a large concern.I am being civil and if you don't see what i mean by you being fragile and assuming then maybe in this second post of yours you will see it. I am not attacking you but you seem to take every opinion that doesn't match up with yours about Adams as an attack in some way or form 78% of the time. You know where i got that number from? 78%? thats the completion percentage against Adams in pass coverage. I only really bring that up because of two things. One, Tre Flowers, he has a completion percentage against at 72.9% with a lower QBR and two, in todays NFL teams are passing the ball more than ever. Adams play in that area of the game is not on par for the draft capital and value they gave up. I hope it improves but we have all been here before hoping someone improves just to be left wanting...damn hawks!
I freaking love Adams and i am glad he is a Seahawk and i also believe he can do a LOT better than what we saw in the passing game. I mean if he doesn't then this was one of the worst trades ever for the Hawks. Imagine he gets burnt all the time in 2021 letting QB's hit almost 80% of passes when he is the closes man and his sack numbers go way down because teams force him into pass coverage, then he leaves because he isn't worth resigning for the money he wants. i mean would you franchise him after a real bad season? i don't know but you are forced to because of the capital given up Ouch.
there are risks in everything i know but man when you look at his production before coming here he was top 3 maybe even the top safety in the game but his play in coverage has always just been around average but lights out every place else.
Yeah i see no way right now Adams is worth the cost but i will always have undying hope he becomes worthy of all that capital. Till my last breath i am and will always be a Hawks fan and that means my hope is boundless. I am just lucky that my loyalty doesn't cloud my vision though. Not an insult, there is nothing wrong with being slightly bias or having even more hope than others. Just as long as you are able to take that step back and look at both sides clearly and see what others mean. Like me i know 100% what you are saying and i see it the same but i also see the bad part that was well below where it should be of someone of his caliber. Lets hope he improves and that it was only the plethora of injuries he had. Something i also fear he will struggle with his whole career.
I admitted his pass coverage wasn't good early on but it improved when he came back from injury. He suffered from the lack of camp and preparation time due to covid. By the end of the year he was average. He has been right at middle of the pack by the numbers in pass defense for his entire career
Additionally, as we all know, the main reason why we got him is pass rush, and his pass rush pressure and sack numbers are HISTORICALLY GOOD, and not just for his position. Did you read the article I posted that covered this?? It covers it in detail. You touted the value of TJ Watt but Adams' pass rushing numbers are waaaaay better than Watts, albeit in fewer attempts.
Those are counter-points. Me posting them to counter your also valid points is how these debate/discussions work. I don't agree with your perspective on how this one has progressed but such is life.
Just repeating stuff now so I'm out on the subject and we can re-visit it later where I guarantee I will fully admit to anything I was incorrect about.
