with the team being high on him:

WR1 Kelvin Benjamin

WR2 Funch

WR3 Corey Brown

WR4 Cotchery

WR5 Tedd Ginn Jr.

 

Do we keep six receivers on the active roster, with Bersin being number six? How many of these dudes end up active on gameday?

No Cotch will be the odd man out. Both him and Bersin are the same player. Yet Bersin is younger. I've said it before and I will agian  Bersin has one of the better relationship with Cam and Cotchery has the least.

​I've been thinking we may keep 6 this year given the abundance of WRs (12) on the 90 man roster, though that might only happen if Webb is released.  I assume KB, Funchess, Brown & Ginn are all locks.  It's going to be a very tough battle for the last 1 or 2 spots.  

Cotch & Bersin play a similar role as possesion receivers.  Obviously Cotch has the added plus of being a veteran to coach the rookies.  It may be hard to keep them both.  I'm really not sure whom to route for.  If Hill does well and/or if Byrd shows a lot of promise (meaning he might be picked off the PS) it's going to be nearly impossible to keep both Cotch & Bersin.

I really doubt Cotch brings as much to the locker room as everyone assumes he does. Last year maybe, but who wants to be mentored by an older guy who isn't very good? I'm sure the recievers look up to KB more now and Proehl brings the veteran experience.

It was hard not to react harshly after the playoff loss to Seattle..thats just apart of what comes with losing any game..You begin to question EVERYTHING.. I do believe that the play where Bersin was the number one target, got jammed up, so Cam had to look the other way to Dickson and threw a pick 6, played a huge part in people having doubts about Bersin.. People STILL wonder why on earth he was the first option on that play..But i think those people were just so upset about the outcome of that play, that they over reacted.  They replayed that play in their mind over and over and tried to pick apart everything.  But the truth is...if Cam wouldnt have thrown that pick, that is a play that everyone would have completely forgotten about.  How often does Cam have to go to his 2nd and 3rd options?  Do we criticize the first option when that happens? No. Its just apart of football.  You cant always throw to your first option.  Especially against one of the best defenses in the game.

i'm ok with bersin over cotchery. with ginn and funch we've got two new high quality weapons being inserted into the mix; if corey brown is looking as improved as reports suggest, you basically have KB, Funch, Brown, and Ginn as verifiably talented, dangerous weapons that can start in any position (assuming Funch is worth his poo.)

if this leaves bersin as a rotational guy at WR5 who can continue to excel at his craft and make cotchery an afterthought i'm excited by that.

if someone had told me half a few years ago that we'd be debating which talented receiver to cut from our team i'd have kicked them in the balls for trying to melt a decade of bitter ice encasing my heart.

I have no problem with them keeping Bersin, I actually liked him at the beginning of last year and had high hopes for him.

 

i do have a problem with him ever being the 1st or 2nd option on any kind of crucial down, and I don't trust this coachin staff enough to not do that again.

I'm fine with him as wr5 just keep him away from special teams and don't make him the primary read ever.

​You are basing the idea that Bersin should never be a primary read off of one play.

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
