BREAKING NEWS !! Myles Garrett to the Rams / Verse to the Browns

[El Chapo Jr]

Also we have to acknowledge that Verse has already missed more tackles than Garrett has his entire career. That's a real issue. Saying he can just overcome that deficit with hard work is like saying Kadarius Toney has the potential to develop Larry Fitzgerald hands.

Kinda like Tiki Barber couldn't correct his fumbling problem right?

Just quoting the bulk stats doesn't counter any of my points, especially when Verse entered the league 2 years older. But if you want to follow that line, yeah 20.5 sacks in 27 games is a massive gap from 12 sacks in 34 games early in their career.

That's one player averaging 13 sacks over a full season and the other player averaging 6. Huge difference.

At this point in his career at the age of 25 with the amount of playing time he's had his first two seasons we kind of know what type of player Verse is and he is very good. However his improvements will be incremental and the transformation into a Garrett kind of talent just isn't realistically possible. But you know what, I'll play the semantics game of never say never and give it a .5% chance of happening.

You're missing the point entirely that I'm making. Entering the NFL older doesn't say anything by the way. Never said Verse is on his level but he's close considering Garrett is an all time great. Verse also had more tackles for loss. Garrett just basically stayed consistent with sacking the QB after his 2nd year breakout. Verse did increase his sack total from 4.5 to 7.5 so it isn't far fetched for him to get double digit sacks in year 3 if he finishes plays (which yes, he can improve his tackling). The hard part for Verse or any player will be to consistently wreck games like Garrett to be in his tier. Does Verse have a chance? Yes..... however I'm not into giving percentages because that's literally just pulling a random number out of my ass. I'll just say, I don't truly know if he will or won't, but Verse does have a decent chance if he improves the weakness in his game.

Garrett had a stretch of 4 games last year where he had 13 sacks, more than the 12 sacks Verse has had his entire career in 34 games.

Saying that Verse is close to being on Garrett's level is not grounded in reality.
