This is really the one post I agree most with in this entire back and forth, and it really is that simple.

I think most of "Team Sewell" underestimated Chase's impact. Not his talent, but how much he'd be able to impact the offense. It's been a joy to watch.

On the other hand, "Team Chase" was wrong about Carman and Reiff being enough. Carman has sucked, and most of our sack/pressure numbers aren't good or even mediocre...they're flat out bad.

Now it's easy to look at Sewell and think we won that, but who knows how that would've turned out if we had taken him instead of the Lions. I personally think he would've been better with Pollack, but who knows?

Kinda silly for Team Chase to gloat about that anyway, because no one predicted Sewell would look rough anyway.

To wrap this post up, I'll repeat that I don't think there was a "wrong" side to this. We probably needed both players. Chase guys have gotten everything they possibly could've dreamed about with Chase, and for that, you should puff your chest out.

But to pretend this line has been anything other than "bad" is disingenuous, and frankly comes off as a phony take by people who don't want to give an inch to the Team Sewell side and admit that there was any validity to that side of the debate.
