On Sportscenter just now...  He already discussed KB's injury earlier and then came back for a second segment on other team's injuries.  In the first segment he rattled off all of the FAs out there (Randy Moss, Reggie Wayne, Santonio Holmes, Brandon Lloyd), but St the end of the second segment, about 10 minutes later, he said, "keep an ear out for Reggie Wayne and the Panthers."  The host excitedly asked if he was serious and he replied, "yes, I'm told he is on their short list."

And yet again, I revisit the offseason...   Remember a guy named Andre Johnson?

 

what's done is done and I'm not going to complain about this team's organizational philosophy until next offseason, but I will say this alone:

 

As was said during the offseason, Indy was absolutely in the right in how they set out to build their perimeter weapons. They saw the need and signed a quality free agent at the position as well as used a high draft pick on one, ensuring that no matter what happened-they would be better. 

The finances that we piled onto soon to be cut players like Teddys and Boykins and other Huddle nonsense could've easily been devoted to netting us one quality player that would've diminished if not outright negated the loss we took today

 

im all for reggie Wayne at this point as much as I hate having to bear that kind of desperation

      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

      I mean, but there is ample evidence that exists currently in the NFL and historically that if you have a talented or moderately talented team then one of the biggest upgrades you can make is at QB. It yields the biggest returns. I don't think even Prime Greg Olsen is going to make Bryce suddenly look like a stud QB. We have invested immense amounts of money on the OL and tremendous amounts of draft resources on WR's. And have added an additional extremely capable RB. At some point, the main problem is Bryce. We are at that point.  That being said, we don't need to go "Full Bryce" again and sell the farm to upgrade at QB. Be intelligent and patient. Try to get better by whatever means become available WHILE continuing to make the roster better. At the bare minimum, you slowly build an upper half of the NFL talented roster that is at least a potential draw for some free agent QB's. IMO, Bryce is clearly not the answer. I don't think anyone in our organization thinks that way but if they do, it's not the end of the world. Throw as many reasonable darts as you can through free agency and the draft until either you get a bullseye or a top 10-15 option becomes available in free agency.

      I think the best way to make Bryce better is to make everyone around him better.  This is why I advocate for a stud (top 5, eventually) TE.  I mean, when we have been a good franchise, we have had a stud TE (Walls, Olsen) and ILB (Beason, Mills, Morgan, Luke, etc) so it is in our DNA.  Expect us to address these areas this year.  (An Olsen or Walls would help Bryce a lot).  In terms of productivity, I think we are going to work with XL for one more season and ride the TMac / Coker momentum.  Where else could we find a position to improve productivity?  TE.  A position that caters to Bryce's style and shortcomings, a stud TE gives him another weapon he has not had. The Panthers run a lot of 2-TE sets (I have seen 3) and they have a blocker (Tremble) who is great in the run game, a balanced TE (Evans), and Sanders is supposed to be the pass-catching TE. He had 340 yards last season and he has about 170 this year.  If we are going to play around with XL for another season, it only makes up to add to Bryce's weapons in a way that does not put XL on the bench, basically ending his development. It makes sense to bring in a pass-catching dawg.  The way the offense is designed, I see carrying 4, but its not ideal. Having said that, I mentioned Oregon's Sadiq in another thread, but I am starting to warm up to Vanderbilt's Stowers and, in the Olsen/Walls mold, I kinda like Endries from Texas.  Of course, Stowers is probably going in round 2 and Endries in 3 or later. I still say, 5 months before the draft, that I would not be surprised if we take a TE very early.
