This is one of those things that always gets me when it comes to Minter. People praised the smarts, and skills of a near Pro Bowl player. Folks love him to death. But yet very few bring up his hitting ability. His only real flaw was tackling. He was a willing and able participator, but was down right baffling regarding his own ability.

That said. He could hit. Right from the get go as you so aptly pointed out. And sparked my response, I might add. I just thought/think too many people underestimate that aspect of his game. I have no reason why, but believe it to be a given that he could hit, which made it more difficult for him to amaze us.

There's a plethora of plays running through my mind as I write this. Minter snot knocking someone. Giants TE in playoff game. Oh, that hit in the Cowboys game that saved a 1st and goal.

Minter=underrated hitter.

 

Minter was my choice for 'hardest hitter on the team' from pretty much his rookie year until Thomas Davis came along.

Not gonna lie. TD has the perfect form for power and efficiency. When he hits you. You've gone as far as you are going. And you are going to feel it.

      if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
