After getting burned on Brooks can you blame them?

I think he's a 4-3 WLB. Undersized, athletic as hell and often the 'other' player on the play. He's very good in coverage, but his instincts in the run game suck.

Should be giving the K a hell of a lot of credit.

I agree here . I would give Horn more opportunities and limit Legette's routes and number of plays on the field . I would give him one more year to get it together . Give him a few screens and let him run in the open field . We invested too much in him to cut him this soon .

But when people say, Bryce Young doesn’t go downfield…..this is what they are referring to. He goes downfield less than every starter in the NFL…..minus 1. And high odds he likely made a move out of last place the last 3 weeks

Probably sign a mid tier vet. I’ve seen some mention Pierce or Wandale. Roll with TMac, Coker, vet, Horn, and see if XL can work his way back up the depth chart. Brycen would be a good one to keep if he is super cheap. XL was always a raw prospect so he needs time but he also needs to fit our timeline.

Something needs to be noted. How many more seasons of just playoffs before they move from Rod. We know it’s cup or bust. We also know this team is isn’t the finished product that we will see come playoff time due to injuries and trades. The question is, how long before enough is enough with Rod?

I’ve never spoken on GWD stat until today. My stance has remained shrouded in calculated mystery

Yeah, we don’t need to get sucked into the early 2000s Detroit Lions model of drafting

I have doubts that Bryce will ever be good enough, but at least he seems like a decent dude.

Last week Random Poster - that’s not a Bryce stat MrBDawg - how dare you hater!!! Today Bryce - yeah, that’s not a Bryce stat MrBDawg - well said!

I would guess because it wouldn’t align with the conservative management. We are taking our rare deep shots in advantageous scenarios….to big WRs. Bryce historically puts balls on dudes and often creates jump ball/contested scenarios at high rate. Ball placement remains spotty. Horn is tiny. Likely not a a very good WR yet in terms battling through contact down the sideline and having to deal with a potential contested catch vs bigger defenders. If it turns into a jump ball scenario the dude ain’t going to morph into 89.

what an absolute stud

You would have to think so right? I am genuinely afraid its not though

would be cool to enjoy the ride without the constant nitfuggingpicking

This will get better when we have a completely healthy O-line and a dynamic WR with good speed (possibly someone like a D.J. Moore).

Electro is going to throw a hissie fit.

Lol here we go.

I’m convinced he’s just trolling at this point

I don’t want to see another high pick put into WR or offense that isn’t OL or QB. At least not again it would make something like 5 straight years, we are at 4 straight years with 1sts and 2nds used on the position now. Too much to have one player left from all that. So he gets another go at it afaic. If they can bring in someone to compete with him that is undrafted, a FA on a prove it deal, some cheaper route, go for it.

Because Bryce can’t throw a true deep ball.

The original hope was that he was just raw, and with some coaching he could blossom into a big time playmaker. Turns out he’s not just raw, he’s got no fundamentals or mentals of any kind really. You keep him as long as he’s cheap and try your best to coach him up no matter how futile it may seem. When the time comes you cut him loose.

Facts. But why haven’t they tried to throw a deep ball to Jimmy Horn?

I think he should get a shot in training camp to earn a spot but I think his ceiling is 2017 Devin Funchess and his floor is out of the NFL as soon as next year

I'd be looking real good at the upcoming draft class for a Plan B that only costs us a late round pick or no pick at all. We're already getting a good return with Coker. Even if XL can turn it around, Moore/Renfrow aren't sticking around and so we should pick up another guy anyways.
