Yeah, if we don't add any help at WR, which I anticipate, I'm really hoping that Dickson and Williams make the difference.

I expect KB to have an awesome year, but it just irritates me when the FO let Smitty go when he still could've helped us AND then completely neglected the position outside of KB. Yes, I know we signed Avant and Cotch, but to me, those are the equivalent of NBA teams signing 40-year old vets to show the kids how to be a pro. Not great football moves, IMO.

BUT, I digress... back to the cuts, lol.

 

Why do people still not understand the Smitty cut? Keeping him this year would've picked up an option for the 2 years after that with absolutely ridiculously absurd cap numbers. If there had been better communication between Smitty and the FO I think it would've been possible to keep him without the 2 years after this year, but the blame for that falls equally on Smitty (and also on Hurney for giving him the contract). It was 100% the right move for the future.

While playing with Big Ben, Antonio Brown, Emannuel Sanders, Heath Miller, and Levion Bell as the RB.

Nicks had Eli playing like crap, was injured, had no RB, and only Cruz as the other legitimate recieving threat.

I take Big Ben looking for Cotchery in the redzone as a plus not a negative. Sure, because of all the other targets around him he could work one on one without extra coverage, but it still says something that Big Ben looked to him so often.

Look, you know Nicks is more talented than Cotchery, I know it too, I'm just saying that at this point we have no proof that Gettlemen made the wrong decision, especially when you add Avant

We have to be targeting an OG/T from the other teams' cuts.  No way we roll with our current depth.  Velasco is strong depth but that's about it.  

 

Safety is still frightening but I'm cool with our receiving corps.  I REALLY wanted King to make the team but whatevs.  Sh*t happens, decisions have to be made.

He didn't exactly outperform them. He was just thrown to more. There is a big difference. Cotchery and Avant have been successful in the league for a long time. They aren't exactly scrubs. If you really think that, then you know nothing about football and probably shouldn't comment.

 

Cotchery has averaged 35 catches a year over the past 5 seasons- less than LaFell or Ginn had last season. And he got 5 years @ $8M. One (1) catch this preseason...

 

Avant has more catches, stays healthy, but doesn't score and he gets 1 year, $1M. Preseason: also 1 catch, 25 yards.

 

"He didn't exactly outperform them. He was just thrown to more."

Receivers catch passes. Their entire career is based upon catching passes. King caught 6, 3 times as many as Coitchery and Avant together. Maybe because he gets open? Faster? Better hands? Caught passes? How the fug is that not outperforming?

With Boston and Lester going to IR look for us to bring in another safety... Preferably a veteran. We can't rely on Harpers toe and our backups at the position arent going to cut it if one of our starters go down.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By JawnyBlaze · Posted

      It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed.

      I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
