Good for Beverly. Hard working, scrappy guy.

Dunk contest, I'm going with Lavine. The Greek Freak would be my pick, because he is a freakish size of Athleticism and size, but he also is taller... Which I think is a disadvantage in the dunk contest. Lavina is athletic, long, rangy, and explosive... And being that he's the shorter of the two, it will look much more impressive.

    • I do not think they will pick up his option as it stands right now. If he's benched again he will have to compete for a backup role if he's not traded before he reaches the end of his rookie contract. 
    • Your right. This wasn't meant to be a dig at Shenault. LOL
    • I mean, Bryce Young is literally in an offense that is constructed to be about the deep ball.    He just is bad at it and it goes against he how naturally plays/skill set.   It's also why his completion % is garbage every year and why he leads the NFL in bad throw % since arriving.  He doesn't fit the O scheme and what it asks.  The offensive scheme requires it.   It would be like putting rookie Cam in some small ball O and saying the stats back he likes doing that.  It would have gone against everything he was at that time.  It was his worst ball.  But Bryce Young doesn't like it nor is he good at it.   No one that watches Bryce Young play football would actually say he wants to go downfield with the ball and that his thing.....that some deep stat narrative that gets pushed.  It's why he went 0-4 on basically easy deep shots Sunday.  Big time throws can be a 5 yards slant.  It's bologna.  And PFF would award Bryce  as the best deep passer going 1/4 over some dude chucking it for multiple scores.
