Change of topic - former Fin DEs

[Andyman]

Just noticed Robert Quinn has 18 sacks this year for the Bears and Charles Harris has 7.5 and 15 QB hits for the Lions. Good for Harris to be finding his game after being given the bust treatment in Miami. As for Quinn, that’s a monster year for a guy that looked like a shell of his best Rams days two years ago. Seemed like a good dude, so kudos to him for resurrecting his career as well.

Good deal too bad they on sucking teams again

People leave here and do better elsewhere what else is new. Ogbah is one of the few players that actually played better here then he did on his previous team.

That’s nothing new with Dolphins. This team never knows how to develop players. I really do think this team is cursed.
Everyone’s quick to replace players and when they play awesome on another team they get upset for getting rid of them. Damned if you do damned if you don’t mentality.

Once they leave the fold I really don't pay it much mind unless we play them. I find it odd to look at former players stats comparitively to when they were in Miami as if they would perform better/same/worse in Miami with different circumstances.

I would say good for them, but in all honesty, who cares? It's a job, they get paid to play, a lot. Good luck to em and hope for no injuries!

But OP, thanks for a distracting thread in the sea of misery that is the general right now, sorry for bringing my negativity to it!

Quinn did well in Dallas but he was purely a rusher only, run containment be damned.
Since Dallas was low on DEs that year, he got to play a lot but teams definitely favored his side for running plays.
Maybe he's doing better in Chicago as a well rounded DE/edge or hell maybe he's a liability in the run game still. But 18 sacks is impressive.

I think for some guys, like Harris it takes player growth and the right coaches to get the most out of them. And sometimes it takes a few failures before the light clicks. Glad he's doing well/enough to stick around. Shame it didn't work out here but I don't think it was for a lack of effort.
