hopefully on the eagles.

He reminds me of Justin Smith of the Niners but a bit more athletic.

Yeah, except Cox is already better now than either of those guys were in their prime.

Maybe as a situational pass rusher he's better than those guys, but Patterson ate blockers which is what enabled Cole to do what he's done and a big part of why Cole has had a down year by his career standards this season. Patterson and bunkley have also both been better BY FAR against the run. Cox has work to do as I would expect from any rookie. Its too early to tell.

I see him as a young Richard Seymore

A key player on this defense. I see this guy becoming a real star, he has the size & quickness to become a great player.

this guy can easily end up being Brodrick Bunkley or Pattersonwhich is a serviceable dt serviceable and nothing more. meaningless stats mean nothing.

Meaningless stats? Stats like sacks and tackles are meaningless? You realize Fletcher Cox is a big part of the reason why the Eagles hadn't given up 100 yards on the ground to a RB all season until the Tampa game? Stats aren't meaningless.

Unless you are saying that meaningless stats are meaningless in which case I agree with you. But those stats aren't meaningless. They are very indicative of the type of player Cox could become.

Especially if there is a chance they switch to the 3-4. I am happy with either Te'o or Lotuleilei in the top 5.

He will be an integral part of the Eagles pass rush. Talk of probowls is a bit premature IMO, but he could certainly get there.

i really dont want another pass rushing dt. i want a guy who can stop the run which is what the best teams have inside. let others worry about rushing the passer. you mostly want your dt to clog up the middle you dont want him shooting inside every down looking for sacks like babin theres more to playing defense than rushing the passer so while his 5.5 sacks look good on paper im mostly concerned with keeping opponents under 100 yards rushing

Cox has thrived at stopping the run this season. Try watching games..
