Default Radical Idea - Trade for Gholston

Yes, he's been a bust so far but it seems like the guy could be an absolute monster if he can put it together and there isn't a better coach to help him do that than BB. We're thin on OLBs anyway, if he could be gotten cheap enough it just might be a crazy idea that works.

What do you think?

About to get a lot of crap for this but if Rex can't turn the guy around BB probably won't do much better.

Not so much that Rex is a better defensive coach and developer of youth, but it seems like Gholston's problems are in his head and his heart. You'd think a player like that would benefit from Rex's system and wouldn't be aided by moving to a system where more is asked of him.

If he was cut, I wouldn't mind giving him a flyer. I wouldn't give up anything for him though.

We won't get better by adding bad players.
Gholston simply is not a 34 OLB, no matter how you slice it, and even as a sub package DE, he lacks the variety of tools that it takes to be an effective NFL pass rusher.
Great college player who just can't compete at this level.

Worst. Idea. Ever.

Is Ryan Leaf available as the vet backup 3rd string QB?

If you can't make it in Rex Ryan's system, you can't make it in any system.

He's only played 2 seasons so far, also James Harrison floundered on practice squads and in NFL Europe before he put it together, and we know how effective he became.

This one might be making a move on over to the Practice Squad forum.
