That #2 TE spot.


Recommended Posts

probably dickson. his skills as a blocker are probably going to make up for a lot of deficiencies at the tackle position.

 

Unpopular position on this board as I think Williams is the sentimental favorite (see Ryne Robinson, Donald Hayes, Armanti Edwards, etc...)

 

I agree though and Dickson will most likely be the guy.

This is his second year.....I'm not sure what you expected out of an udfa te

I think the huddler that wrote that comment may expect more because he held one of the 53 roster spots lat year. That was an accomplishment in itself based on where he came from. I am more inclined to see it from your perspective. What is the probability of us finding the next tight end star as a UDFA? I get the fact that he had a scholarship to Oregon and had the knee issues. At the same time I stay optimistic and hope for that lighting in a bottle...lol

They say he worked his butt off in training camp last year. I am hopeful his work ethic carried over throughout the year when the cameras stopped following him so closely. We will find out soon enough in training camp.

Why the love for Dickson? Dude has been inconsistent at best in his career. I'm thinking Williams will win it if he continues to improve and stays healthy. McNeill is a good blocker so I wouldn't count him out in a Hartsock role as the 2nd tight end.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
