And even more importantly, he was a leader on one of the best college teams in the country. Hey, pick is over, and we will see in a few years, but for you to think that Mosely is a one trick pony, then your obviously not as informed as you claim to be.
I have to agree: Calling Mosley a one trick pony is very off base.

Sorry but I take Mike Zimmer's word that he IS a 3 down LB compared to some guy on a message board. Barr is athletic enough to cover, and physical enough to rush the passer. Mosely is a 1 trick pony, Barr can play LB and rush the passer. You get more out of Barr than you do Mosely
I hope you are right and I appreciate your enthusiasm and optimism....and I really do hope you are right and I am wrong...

but you do realize that when you say things like "Sorry but I take Mike Zimmer's word that he IS a 3 down LB compared to some guy on a message board." you are completely shutting down all discussion, argument, other opinions, etc. I mean, why even question or discuss anything? Zimmer knows more than us so why even discuss or question? He's a genius, we are morons, so no need to debate, discuss, question, anything.

Like I said, I mean no disrespect and I hope you are dead on right with Barr and I am completely wrong...I honestly HOPE so.......I just think he seems 1-dimensional as a pass rusher. I apologize for my opinion.

Quote from two years from now:

"Manziel wouldn't be so good if he didn't have guys like Gordon and Cameron bailing him out."

And

"Sure, it's easy to be good when you have Joe Thomas as your LT."
