I see nothing wrong here. Z got him with 2 elbows to the face. The ball was protected and Z got 2 elbows while doing so. ANY player would swing back on that. I am not saying that fighting is a part of this game but, there are very few that would let that slide without doing something back. Big Z, Wall and Howard deserve fines and suspensions which I am sure that they will get.

Yall so quick to throw out THUG on here. We all know that he is but, it just seems like you were sitting back waiting on something to happen to call out THUG.

If he shoved him it would have not been a big issue but he punches him during the game. Really a cheap shot too as Z was holding a ball and playing basketball and the guy just sticks him in the side instead of playing D.

Yeah, IDK, I think this is what it is. It's a physical game and these things happen. I understand Z playing tough and I also understand Wall getting pissed. Z is probably used to guys guarding him that are quite a bit taller where he elbows aren't in their face. These players are HUMANS, anyone gets a little pissed with an elbow to the face. If anything, good for Wall for sticking up for himself.

But LOL at anyone holding Z back, he could just run a rampage if he wanted too.

As in thug? No, stop that. Barkley got into many, many fights like this and I wouldn't call him a thug. Now Arenas, getting busted with guns in the locker room, THAT is what I call a thug.

Thug is not the case. This is just an example of not being very smart and having a huge ego. If you know how the NBA works, Wall should have just hit the ground holding his face and hoped for a foul. I do not stand for flopping but in this case he was clearly touched, unlike the whole Chris Bosh incident.

McGee and Howard getting involved is just another example of letting your emotions override your intelligence. The entire situation could have easily been avoided and I hope all 4 are fined and suspended for a period of time.

      With the first pick, don't draft a QB? Draft a DE? C'mon!

      Did we take over a thread about who you'd take #1 by having a debate on who you'd take #1? Basically you still don't want to answer my question, probably because your answer would be either T-Mac like myself, or Hunter, which taking a CB #1 overall is even crazier on the surface than what you're saying I'm stupid for in wanting a WR there. As I've said before, it's a season without a traditional clear top pick(s).  It would be great if we could trade back if we got #1, but if not, there's nothing wrong with taking a truly elite WR and build out our roster correctly for once instead of always trying to find the quick fix and it backfiring.

      I just thought of an interesting comparison for what I'm arguing with taking T-Mac and how to build up to hopefully being a contender. The mid 2000's Arizona Cardinals In 2003 they took Anquan Boldin early in the 2nd, kinda a decent comp for Legette with style of play and being more of an elite #2 than a true outside #1 (they also took a WR in the 1st too who didn't pan out). In 2004 they took Larry Fitzgerald #3 overall, the true outside #1. Their QB's at the time, Jeff Blake and Josh McCown The QB they passed on to take Fizgerald, Philip Rivers. They were in the Super Bowl a few years later after they found their QB in Warner to slot into an already built out roster of elite weapons. Cam, you asked how it would look if we passed on a QB who pans out for a WR, well, do you think the Cardinals regret taking Fitz over Rivers?  I highly doubt it. Our roster is more than one offseason away from contending.  I'm not looking for the quick fix because there isn't one with the state of this franchise at the moment, I'm looking to contend for a decade. I don't think a QB in this draft class is good enough to take 1st overall with everything else we still need.  My next preference would be an elite pass rusher, but again, I don't see one of them in this draft either. My personal bias aside, I very honestly think T-Mac is the most can't miss offensive prospect in this draft (Hunter would be that on defense).  He is the WR we've been trying to get since we lost Smitty.   Brooks, T-Mac, Legette, Coker/FA, Sanders would have the potential to be one of the best offensive weapon sets in the NFL.  Sure, hopefully we could hit on a superstar QB in the next draft, but even if not, if those guys pan out, with them all are in their prime together, we wouldn't need a Mahomes or Allen to contend, we'd only need to find our Jared Goff. and spend all our FA money the next couple offseason on Defense.

      Chase Daniels breaks down Bryce vs DEN

      By R0CKnR0LLA · Posted

      Competent QBs can read defenses presnap, see where their best matchups are and already know where they're going with the ball. Then have good footwork with fast fundamentally sound dropbacks. See the field well and decisive with their decisions on where to go with the ball. And an NFL caliber arm, get the ball out quickly and deliver it with velocity. Bryce can do none of these things.
