Obviously this is with the thought in mind that we massively upgrade the position through FA and the draft. Which guys would you guarantee a spot on our roster next season if you are Gettleman?

I'm going with KB, Philly, Olsen, and Swole Bones.

Who would I guarantee?  KB, Olsen, Swole.  I like Philly well enough, and he made some nice catches this year, but not nearly enough for any sort of guarantee.  I know the same could be said of Swole, but I like his potential and I need to see more of him actually on the field before I can form an opinion.

Yeah, for me I see Philly as either the 5th or 6th WR, depending on if we get a guy like Ginn,who ideally is your last receiver but an incredible return specialist. I give Philly a spot contingent on what we bring in... He likely is the first guy I would drop from my list if we get something better... But for now, I keep him and Swole for a lot of the same reasons - versatility and potential,although I believe Swole has far greater potential,hence why Philly would be the first gone from my current list.

Why on earth do you all think Swole Bones is guaranteed a spot? Did I miss something?

I said if YOU were Gettleman.

Swole has incredible potential and talent,he just needs to be utilized. Furthermore, he contributes on offense and ST, and has big play ability even in his limited reps he has seen thus far.

So if I'm Gettleman, I'm holding onto him until he proves he's not worthy of holding onto.

We are the franchise that signed Charles Godfrey to an extension so holding onto a young player with incredible talent to see if he blossoms doesn't bother me in the least.

I don't see it. I haven't seen much improvement in how many seasons now?

Zach Miller just hit FA and Jordan Cameron will too. I'd rather have Ed Dickson near vet minimum and be TE #3 and sign one of them at #2.

-edit- I do agree he should at least get a shot in camp this year though.

Philly is he caliber of WR at this stage where he only would be a lock on a team with little talent and depth....

So yeah, I guess here he qualifies. But he wouldn't be a LOCK for your average team at WR. He'd be the guy with potential you hoped developed.

That ain't a Philly knock. I think he can become a good WR and our 3 (3 on a good team). Dude is fast and tough. But he isn't "lock" good by a long ways

benjamin and olsen.

This. While it's best to wait until training camp to ask these questions because our roster isn't complete until after we draft and sign free agents.

Olsen and KB are the only ones a guaranteed to make the roster. Cotchery is old and in the decline. Brown should make the roster unless we sign a few big name WRs and draft some but there's always a small chance he won't make the team. Bersin is far from a lock, even though he can return punts he horrible at it. Stephen Hill couldn't make the team this season but it's all in his hands literally if he can make the team this season. Brandon Williams may be a favorite around here but he has never been more than a #3 TE and didn't do well last season. I feel we will try to resign Dickson to be our back up TE.

      Derrick Brown appreciation thread.

      By TD alt · Posted

      Derrick Brown was one player I never called or even suggested was a bust . Dude was young and hadn't even hit his stride. It takes time to learn the position. The thing I appreciated about him is that he kept improving season after season. He got paid and keeps on going like the Energizer Bunny.

      Joe Person: Ickey is expected to be extended, Mays is someone we want to keep long term, TE, LB and OLB are our biggest needs heading into the offseason

      How many teams coddle their QB the way Bryce has been coddled? I have never seen any other team in the NFL EVER baby a QB the way that Bryce has been.  Bryce was named day 1 starter his first year. It was obvious he didnt deserve it. He wasnt ready as evidenced by the worst rookie year in NFL history.  So let's move to year 2. He's named starter again with no competition in TC and is benched 2 games later. We have the ghost of a backup in Dalton who is so bad he can only beat Vegas and let's remember, the only reason he lost his starting job was a car accident, not because Bryce actually beat him out in practice.  And year 3. We sign Dalton again, who already proved he couldn't be depended on to put an even remotely passable performance on the field, and bring back Jack Plummer, who was even worse than last year. It was obvious he was nothing more than a pretend body in an attempt to create an illusion of some type of attempt to find a backup.  Then we start again with garbage play again and Bryce gets benched with a phantom injury, and the ghost of the ghost of Dalton breaks his thumb on the first drive and craps the field all over again. If we had actually made an attempt to find a legitimate QB2, it's possible Bryce doesn't step on the field again. Bryce is not agood QB and if we had any other mediocre QB, our record would be the same or better.  Bryce is not entrenched. He's been placed, protected and sheltered from ever having to face a  real QB competition in TC. Richardson and Levis both were ass and both were benched and eventually replaced.  Do I expect Baker to face competition in camp? Sure. I expect Tampa to find the best QB2 they can at price that fits their cap and resources and system and get him up to speed. If he's better than Baker, and if he's better by a significant margin, that's best for the team. The ultimate goal is a Super Bowl. Bellichek was constantly getting QB2s with the GOAT as his starter. He knew the value and that was realized when Cassell led them to an 11-5 record as a backup.  You and I may think differently than the people that matter but I will say it again. If you're afraid to bring in a capable backup, especially after the debacle of last year. The starting role wasn't earned, it was given, and that's loser mentality.

      I would have done the same thing.  LSU is a much better job than Ole Miss.  Plus the enormous contract and every advantage a college team can offer in terms of recruiting and facilities and tradition etc
