That is my thought. If you are a young guy or emerge with some really good plays in rotation, what is your morale when you see a guy like Rico do transcendent stuff and get relegated to rotational carries.

Mitchell Evans is continuously grading out very high week to week. He makes all the easy plays and blocks like his hair is on fire. He was working with a first to second round grade before being down graded by draft pundits for past injuries. He was a semi-finalist for the Mackey award. I believe we got a great late draft pick up. Tremble when healthy is an excellent blocker and has become more of a sure handed catcher. Sanders has to stay healthy and catch better. We have depth and if Bryce could be more consistent, maybe the stats would look better. Upgrading is not a priority right now.

He is the best, most consistent guy on the team. Family man, locker room leader, he has turned out to be better than imagined.

This reminds me on Madden where you create an alternate uniform and the pre-recorded voice overs talk about how hideous your uniform looks.

I told somebody that today, the old QB adage. If you have two you don't have one. People forget when we had Double Trouble, there still was a clear edge of carry volume going to D-Lo until his departure. NFL is cut throat and if it takes us eventually bailing on Chuba to feature Rico, that decision may have to be made.

Fingers crossed on a Dalton vs. Raiders last year type game against Buffalo. With a healthy dose of Rico against that vaunted 4-2-5 weak run defense we do have a shot!

Sorry, just meant to edit. Mondays!

Bobby Brown has outplayed Turk in the small sample size of games this year. I don't know how that rotation is going to go because of money, but we have had better run defense in each game Turk hasn't played. Jacksonville and New England, we looked like last year. I know there were other factors such as DJ Johnson, but we looked way better.

Just enjoy what is going on in the present! People kill me being ready to jettison players the minute someone at there position has some break out performances. We are not trading Chuba, not trading XL, we are just looking somewhat competent the last two games and finally able to get to evaluating our roster consistently. Cut it out!

Nope, he is to the Panthers organizations what Sean Combs was to mid nineties East Coast Rap music videos.

Also, they gave Trevin the green dot and let him call the plays. Rozeboom played freer yesterday and it may have been because all he had to do was his job, not be the QB of the defense. On top of that, Wallace played really well too.

I get that. Mine is that he was affected by the AT trade more than anyone. That was his guy, his vet so to speak. I've heard about those bonds in athlete led podcasts and interviews. He definitely gave a ton more effort yesterday, in the run game as well as route running. He made a difficult catch look easy and had a whole different demeanor. Let's hope he keeps it up.

I get that. When you said Funchess, I knew that he only looked good here and the same for Philly. I was really mad about the Benjamin over Devante Adams and the Funchess over Stephon Diggs picks. We would've no doubt had the talent to beat the all time defense of the Broncos. Rant over, I believe that the kid has looked decent at times, but being all out on him at this stage is a bit premature. I am with you on the going elsewhere and balling out though. People are saying that about Bryce and I feel if he can't look even competent here it isn't going to look better elsewhere. I am just saying we wait till at least there is continued competence at QB before we start labeling our WRs busts 19 games into their careers.

XL looked bad with Bryce last year. He looked better with decent to competent QB play. Now he looks bad again. Wait until the kid looks bad with some consistent QB play before he is labeled a resounding bust. WRs used to take three years, now everyone is a bust. At this point in his career, our beloved Smitty would have been considered a bust. In year one he caught 10 passes for 154 yards and 0TDS. Year two he had 54 catches for 800 yards and 3 TDs. Both years he played 15 games. Chill out! If he continues to be terrible cool, doesn't progress at all this year or next fine. But the he's not smart, he doesn't know English, and I am calling it now crowd are doing too much.
