Could have used him the last 2 years.

In the perfect world, our top 3 receivers for 2024 will be TMJ, Mingo, and Shi, and Theilen will be a role player/unofficial position coach with a huge paycheck, AND I"M OK WITH THAT. Let's face it though, the odds of all 3 of them hitting are not very good. We did the same thing bringing in Shockey as a safety net Cam's rookie year, and that worked out pretty well for him.

FWIW, He has a SC flag hanging behind him on his dorm room wall. I've only made it through FA, not watched the draft section yet,I have a zoom mtg. But he's focusing on the money aspect too much for my taste. For example, he doesn't like the Thielen signing because it's basically 2 years $19M and he thinks it's too costly. This is probably my favorite signing because having a proven veteran safety net for your rookie QB is worth a LOT.

I was reading it as Arians decided to go after Baker, THIS YEAR, instead of any of the top 4 QB's in the draft. That's ultimately the decision he made, even though the jump from 19 to 1 was probably never a real option. His arguments were the same ones we had a year ago, and a year before that with Sam. Mayfield did have a couple of good seasons with the Browns, and I was excited when we picked him up. Mainly because Sam had never been good. Rhule obviously did him no favors, which Baker proved by being decent once he was traded. Honestly, if baker were in any other division, I'd wish him the best of luck but I also doubt he'll ever be anything other than bottom rung starter or better than average backup. full disclosure: I only read the quote that the OP posted, not an entire article.

Been there done that got the scars to prove it. Edit: emotional scars that is

I call bullshit! If that was the truth, why only a one-year contract?

Damn you Jake! You just lost me my entire 401K!

Don't worry, Friday afternoon is apparently our "magic hour" for free agents.

He definitely has potential out the wazoo. We just need him to reach that potential in the game when it counts. I absolutely think he can, but if we're all being honest, he hasn't done it yet. Hopefully, this will be his breakout year.

His 2022 stats are certainly better than his 2021 stats, and I think his play improved under Wilks, but yeah, he didn't really set the world on fire. I think Mingo (same height, similar catch radius & combine/pro day #'s, 20 lbs. heavier) will push him for playing time from day 1 of OTA's. This competition and BC vs. Zavala vs. Mays will be fun to watch in preseason.

They only released these two because they're shopping YGM and Hubbard.

In 4 years bouncing around the NFL and XFL with professional trainers, these shouldn't still be issues. Let's see what he's got.

And if he doesn't (O-line), he admits it.

I actually sat down and watched the whole thing today and loved every minute of it. These 3 work well together, I hope they make it a more regular thing. All 3 spoke intelligently while keeping it light and entertaining. 2 thumbs up.

Nothing that hasn't already been said. In a nutshell, Jake thinks that the small frame isn't as big a deal as it's been made out to be because Young can straight up play football. Also, he's basically a football savant. Bet big on a horse names Skinner this weekend.

Exactly! And his defense, no one was expecting him to get called until the next day, LOL

Putting pen to paper at 4:31 today.

I keep trying to forget, but still have nightmares.

I think Shi is PS bound, and I doubt he gets poached by another team.

I have mentioned Erving a couple of times as solid OL depth, but I think with the signing of Zavala that ship might have sailed. BC and Mays both have a lot of college experience at T if our starters go down. I'm not sure what is going on with Ioannidis. As someone pointed out, his best years were as a 3-4 DE. Must be money.

My thoughts exactly, but I knew someone had to have beaten me to it. Well played sir!

Somewhere Mick Mixon is beating off ferociously to this man's ample chest.
