Now Miller is balling and everyone loved him. Same will happen next year IF Ferrell starts balling out. “I always believed in him, he was my guy all along” gtfoh Naw I would just admit I was wrong obviously nobody here criticizing wants him to bust. I think we just wanna see another flash here or there 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ferrell was a top 5 pick, supposedly pro-ready, and a scheme fit. Some on here were defending Mayock saying he and Bosa were next to each other on his board. There's no arguing Ferrell has been a disappointment considering where he was picked and who wasn't picked. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No you can't argue that we all want more from Ferrell, but you can show some patience with a guy who has played 5 games. Also, how much of what Bosa is able to do is because of him and how much of that is the great defense around him. I know Bosa is the better player, but it's still not a 1 to 1 comparison. I mean, how much more could have Mack done with the Raiders if he had any real help. The rest of the defense matters. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bosa being on a good defense contributes minimally to both his production and actual play. He's arguably already the best player on that line. If we put Ferrell on that same line maybe he has one or two more sacks, but he's still the same player (also he's probably not starting). I get being patient, but Ferrell was not a player I and many others had a lot of confidence coming into the draft--especially at 4the overall. Further, he's not the type of prospect who projects to get dramatically better because he's some sort of raw piece of athletic clay. He was supposed to be a ready-made starter who would immediately contribute to the team--even if the production was there from year one. Not only is there very little production, he's also not playing well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only is there very little production, he's also not playing well. Look, it's fine to be concerned about his progress. To hope for more. But, we are sad as a fan base that we can't give any of these guys a chance to develop. I've heard this song and dance too many times. Kolton last year, Mack, and Aso in years past. Just because he's off to a slow start doesn't mean anything and any other player you throw onto this team is not going to have the exact production they're having with the teams they're on now. Most of you guys ragging on him, made up your mind before we made the pick. That's fine to stick by that assessment. If he develops into something more and proves you wrong, you win. If he never amounts to anything, you win. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
