If he stays healthy he should get it. I mean 825 yards over 17 games is averaging less than 50 yards per game. Even if we rotate more at RB I would still expect him to probably account for 60% or so of the non-QB carries (he accounted for nearly 70% last year).

Looking at Wright's stats I'm kinda surprised why this guy has never stuck. He's an 87% FG kicker and he's 7/11 from 50+ with a 56 and two 59 yards. This guy beating out Fitzgerald doesn't seem like the end of the world.

Yeah, range only matters with consistency. It only takes a few wide rights on gimmies to make you long for the guy who is near automatic from inside 50 but that's about the end of his range.

Oh lord, why would anyone miss Slye? Yeah, being able to lineup for a 60 harder is nice but not at the expense of 35 yards and XPs being nail biting affairs. If I had to choose between a big legged kicker with spotty accuracy or an accurate kicker with a limited leg I'm absolutely choosing the latter. At the end of the day, missing a long FG is basically the equivalent of a turnover. You're handing your opponent great field position.

Yeah, I think in Wright they basically see a Pinero replacement. Accurate, limited leg kicker but instead of a guy in Pinero who thinks he should be one of the highest paid kickers in the league you have a guy in Wright who would be absolutely thrilled just to have a job. Then you have Fitzgerald who they're hoping wins the job and is the long term solution. We'll see how it all plays out. Fitzgerald is Plan A and Wright is Plan B and I think everyone involved fully realizes this.

Yeah, it's a complete question mark. A lot of potential but a lot of unknown as well. I didn't mind the T-Mac pick and it's comforting after the fact that it sure seems like he was the consensus WR1 in the draft but top 10 pick consensus best at their position prospects bust almost every year. Until they hit the NFL field they're still unknowns.

I suspect that's likely Wright's issue as well and why he's never stuck on a team and bounced around. Probably a good kicker, just limited leg. The guy has made 87% of his FG attempts and has only missed two XPs ever. But if you aren't good from close to 60 they're looking for your replacement.

Maybe. Similar situation to us. Young potential but very little proven production.

And it's why they have no receiving corps. Paying QBs big money makes you make hard choices. Paying an absolutely TRASH tier RT big money further limits your options. LOL

You can spend big on the OL when you have a QB and the majority of your receiving corps on a rookie contracts.

I completely get it from the player's perspective. But just because it's good for the players doesn't mean it's not absurdly ridiculous.

The entire team only had 20 receiving TDs with their team leader only having 5. Man, their offense was ass that year.

This is getting beyond stupid.

What the hell happened to Kyle Pitts? He looked like he was going to be one of if not the best TE of his generation when he put up over 1k yards as a rookie. Instead that looks likely to be the high water mark of his career.

Did you really just source your own Twitter account? LOL

I hope not. I was a big fan of Bradberry but he's cooked. He was never the twitchiest, fastest guy and he's lost a couple steps he couldn't afford to lose.

For future reference, the good stuff ain't "white". If it's white it's cut to death. You're looking for pearly, almost shimmery looking chunks not powder. I used to be a wild motherfuger when I was young. LOL

Pink cocaine. AKA "Tusi". Not even cocaine at all. Usually a mix of MDMA (molly), ketamine (special K), and a banned ED drug.

One of the safeties would honestly make the most sense. Ramsey is the big splash name but a plug and play decent starting safety is a bigger need than a 30 year old mega money CB. Especially after we just made Horn the highest paid DB on the league.

Seems massive reach to tie that clip to a move on Ramsey, but I mean this is a SpecialJuan thread so everyone already knows it's massive reaches and overstatements only.

Agreed. I don't think most teams tank. The one team that I think DEFINITELY tanked was the Colts on their "suck for Luck" campaign.

This. Generally speaking, if you can avoid back surgery try to avoid it. I know several people who have had to have back surgeries with the results ranging from disastrous to good, but no one has raved about it. None are back to their old selves.

Fine with me. Get the rookie and Sanders more snaps. Tremble is basically a bottom of the roster type of player. For some reasons the Panthers just absolutely love paying those types of guys at TE.
