Media hype creation Chase Young

[HailtoPitt]

happen to have the number of pro bowls the guy made?

After his third season he signed a 5 year $42 million contract. He was a good starter in the NFL.

I think you just don't like his OSU background.

I agree that Chase Brown may be a little over-hyped and I haven’t seen him do much the last couple games. I would have been irate if they would have somehow gave him the Heisman, thought it was ridiculous him even being mentioned for it.

But you are spot on regarding Joey David and the B10. You can’t take anything he says seriously because he obviously has this all-consuming hatred for the B10.

They must create stories in the media. Anything to talk about anything.

So you have to make pro bowls in order to not be a bust?

He was a pretty good player. Didn’t have a very long career but he was effective in the time he played. And didn’t miss games.

the poster I was replying to was implying that those that said the dude was not as good as his hype were incorrect...bust or no bust? not sure but a player that was college football defensive player of the year and a two time all american in college not making a single pro bowl could meet the bust standard...

you did not answer my question....dude seemed to have a ton of college accolades and you admonished those who said he would not be "all that" in the pros ...

1 tackle

He's played maybe 5 top 50ish offensive lines this season. I believe he had 5 total tackles and half a sack in those games. I know, I know the B1G media guys claim he's superman.

Fat 10 hype machine. Same as yetters gross matress.

Courtney Brown was a stud that was hurt a ton as a pro. You have to call him a bust as a result but he was not a guy that showed up and did not belong. He just could not stay out of the trainer’s room after his rookie year. It unfortunately happens.

Chase Young has been excellent this entire year. Probably better than either Bosa was at OSU during their peak year. He had a bad game. It happens. I highly doubt he will be a bust or not be picked in the top 3.

Even Aaron Donald has bad games from time to time. It is why they look at the entire body of work, which in Young’s case is excellent.

No, come on man. You watch a guy one time with your severely untrained layman's eye and then declare that he isn't as good as Jabaal Sheard was in college because you have a beat down stepchild bias against the entire league the guy plays in due to your hatred of one team in that league. That's how its done.

And didn’t earn it or perform

 

[Pitt1992]

he has all the potential and athleticism to be great but he relies on talent more than skill, hes not better than the bosa bothers that Mcshay keeps saying, they crafted a skill and made it better in the NFL, that is what this kid needs

I remember you guys were super critical of James Laurenitis, and called him a "pile jumper" at OSU and said he would be a bust in the NFL.

That was me. And he was a bust. People talked about him like he was Brian Urlacher or Dick Butkus and he was a average linebacker. Like middle of the road starter. So to me that is a bust.

He was picked in the second round and started 7 seasons in a row, then got injured in his eighth. Weird definition for a bust, you have.

 

[jtownknowitall]

Artie Burns was/is worse than Edmunds too. With Edmunds, he is an okay box safety that was just picked too high. The other 2 players really were not only drafted too high but also lesser quality players.

Pittsburgh has had an extremely long record of first round picks that ranged from good to great. They were bound to finally miss on a few.

Bud Dupree was called a bust last season by some.

That depends. Did he play for OSU?

I don’t know about bust but I think it was fair to say Bud hadn’t lived up to the expectations typically associated with his draft position prior to this year.

But he sure did answer the bell this year in a big way in what was his money year. Good for him but now it makes things tough and/or expensive for the Steelers to keep him. If they do, let’s hope it doesn’t end up being a brief money year uptick.

Not sure if anyone in this thread mentioned Manti Te’o either, but most people would have never heard of him if he didn’t go to ND (that ridiculous fake GF story aside). Looks like he’s a serviceable depth guy still in the NFL, but not the dominant force we were being let on to believe when he wore the ND helmet.

It does seem like a stud DL is usually a safe draft pick though.

 

[lilspainishflea]

Obviously, that’s kinda why I said it. Looked it up and saw Jones somehow recorded 6 sacks in his career, would’ve guessed less.

He’s a legendary bust, unless he gets some career ending injury Young will be a lot better than Jarvis Jones.

To be fair to the Steelers, Jarvis Jones was a position of need in a horrible, horrible class. Our D was anemic at that point: kept things in from of them but produced very little splash plays. Jason Worilds was a role-player and hadn't broken out and Harrison has lost a step. We needed OLB really, really badly.

So Jones was probably the best 3-4 OLB and fell to us. Had a good career at UGA but most of his sacks were chasedowns. Poor athlete. Still, needed an OLB bad so we had to take him. There were only 2 guys after Jones that fit our scheme - Xavier Rhodes and DeAndre Hopkins - and this fan base might have revolted if we took a WR over OLB.

Silly question, but I will ask you anyway

If every ACC football team would play every Big Ten football team on a neutral field, what would you expect the end result would be?

Particularly interested in what you think the result for Pitt, Miami, Virginia and UNC would be.

 

[joeydavid]

And when he goes top 3 in the draft, it will just be because the media hyped him up, not because the professional talent evaluators whose livelihoods depend on picking the best possible players knew what they were doing. Right?

1.5 sacks this year tells you what?

If you lined up the Coastal with the B1G West - I'm not seeing where the B1G West gets a win. The offenses are just so anemic.

tO$U obviously gets at least 1 win.

Duke sucks pretty bad. Georgia Tech bad record but capable of an upset here and there. Virginia Tech rises and falls on QB play.

Pitt, Miami, Virginia and UNC capable of beating almost anyone.

Duke already beat Northwestern (they were up 28-0 at the half). VA made Illinois look like a 9th grade team.
