[QUOTE="Thirteen Below, post: 1066258, member: 18006"] That's where I'm at with it too. This team is being built to be a steady, perennial contender, not a "yo-yo" team that goes all in on high-priced talent to hit a 2-3 year window, then spend a a few years drafting in the top 10 or 15 and and trying to rebuild again. It sounds as though it'll take $35-40m X 3 to sign him, and I don't see how we can do that without losing several key players. It's an intriguing idea, to pull a Reggie White V2, but it's not a practical idea. That's true, but there's another way of looking at that. Look at Micah's numbers last year - 12 sacks, 23 QB hits, and 70 pressures in 13 games. You extrapolate that over a 17 game season, and you're looking at 16 sacks, 30 QB hits, and 91 pressures - in other words, that's 8 times per game that he's busting through the O line into the backfield, and almost 3 times per game he's putting the quarterback on the ground. That makes life significantly easier on the DBs. Doesn't literally "make them better", but gives them an advantage because the quarterback has a fraction of a second less time to make a decision and get rid of the ball. Compensates somewhat for a mediocre secondary. Having a Parsons on the field also makes things easier for the rest of the DL, because he draws maximum attention every snap. I think this will be a breakthough season for Cooper, and I've been very high on Hopper ever since the draft. A lot of fans here were down on him, but I never gave up. I knew he was a guy who probably needed a year or ss to hit hos potential, and from what we're hearing from camp, I think he's primed to take a big step forward. And from what they're sauing about Simons, it sounds as though this may be the year the league finally see why he was a Top 10 pick. Offemsive players who've gone up against him are very impressed. I think linebacker is going to be one of the key strengths of this team in 2025, and by the end of the year Cooper will be regarded as one of the best linebackers in the league. I agree. I just hope to god he doesn't wind up with one of the other Norris Division teams. [/QUOTE]
