Great looks & breakdown

Yes.
Before the draft that we took him in... I said, "I was a CB in college. I've watched tape on CBs. Surtain is the best CB prospect Ive seen in the past ten years. This guy will be able to be a real replacement for what we were missing since Talib declined. Think of him in the same category as Champ Bailey & Talib right now out of college. And he can only get better..."
If we still had "Adopt a Bronco" in these new digs, he'd be mine still.
Also Surtain was the right choice.
As he will hold down the # 1 corner position for a decade allowing us to sign Darby level guys as # 2 CB and maintain a top secondary talent wise for all that time. In the new pass happy league, we needed him more than Parsons and with RW3 in Denver we also needed Surtain more than Feilds or Mac Jones.
GO BRONCOS!

I'd take Surtain over both right now and back then as well. All three are going to be good for years. But a Surtain level CB is generational and will be able to shut down # 1 WRs that had been burning the # 2 CBs we kept forcing to play # 1.
Parsons had weird lockerroom allegations that don't jive with a fixing of the culture in the locker room... that was badly needed.
He fits in better with Dallas or LV.
I can't wait for PS2 to feast on KC's replacements for Hill.

Atwater was so good at hitting it was ridiculous. When he hit the Nigerian Nightmare, it looked like Tyson punching a fat guy. What made it so WOW was Atwater was a safety straight smoking a big RB, not a LB.
I also would love to find a guy that has me thrilled for Atwater type hits. If you find a guy, that gives you that idea... I'll watch all the tape I can get and give my honest opinion. But I don't see him yet.

I rock the Smith 49 jersey sometimes. Smith and Atwater were the most insane safety combo ever, unless you were at USC in the 80's. Easily as good as Chancellor/Thomas for the Seachickens.Last edited by Samiwindr; 04-01-2022, 03:21 PM.Comment

Paton played CB in high school and as a walk on at UCLA. If there’s one position he knows more than the others, is the CB position.
I believe him when he said he thought Surtain was the best player in the draft. He probably did a Sonny Weaver move by writing Surtain no matter what on a post it note and put it in his pocket.

Parsons matched James Harrison’s Defensive player of the year in 2008 through 13 games. He almost broke Lawrence Taylor rookie year. He set team records. The guy is a monster on the field with immediate impacts across every level of the field. He should’ve got DPOY but is a rookie so they weren’t having it. Looking back most GMs would’ve taken him knowing this.
Surtain is hopefully going to be elite but Parsons impact is Taylor like. Like once in decades type playerComment

I wish he was more of a thumper.Comment

Surtain is a great player, and Parsons is a great player. Lets see how their entire careers pan out before we declare one of them a better pick than the other. If you think Parsons was the no-brainer pick, then you must’ve missed the part when the cowboys moved back a handful of draft spots immediately AFTER the Broncos selected Surtain. They even had Surtain ranked higher.

I already have been waiting a long time.
To be honest though...
K Jack laid a few whallups that I liked.
He's declining, but I would love to see him smack a few more guys before he is done as a Bronco.
One can still smoke RBs, so I'm always hoping each year that I get to see another Atwater on Okoye type hit on a RB. It's still possible.

I’ll take surtain over parsons 7 days a week. And I like parson’s but surtain doesn’t need ANYONE to dominate his position and shut down one side of the field. His technique is so strong it’s crazy, his smarts and study habits show on game day. He’s not doing it for glitz and glamor meaning he won’t put himself and his team in a bad place by gambling for interceptions! He’d rather bat the ball down for incompletions and take the ints when they come.Comment

The NFL really really doesn't want to see it's players get blown up anymore. It leads to injury, concussion and moms not letting their kids play football. The point has been made to the players, if you can make a tackle safely and elect to "lay wood" instead there will be consequences. It's a different game.Comment
