Norwood and Funch need to be a quick study

No time to panic about the WR situation yet. I think with Norwood and Cotchery we have guys that are reliable. Add Funchess to the mix once he is ready. Ginn and Brown are the speed guys to keep a defense honest (at least the possibility of long completion).  There is no one avaiable that will be much help, and a trade will get us raped. Once they get Norwood and Funchess in the mix, we should be okay.

Stop saying nobody is available that could help, James Jones just scored two tds off the street. There are guys out there better than what we have. 

Can you please just shut the front door about James Jones already? I mean jesus christ. The dude was in Green Bay for YEARS working with the BEST QB IN THE NFL who is familiar with him and has an established relationship with.  It makes sense that he was able to come in and produce in an offense that he was FAMILIAR with that required a refresher. We traded for Norwood a few weeks ago and he's still trying to get up to speed with our offense. 

Also they have an offensive coordinator who isn't a fuging doorknob. So please AceBoogie, stop bitching like a 13 year old girl at a jewish sleep away camp.

I called in November of last year we would reunite with Ginn this year

 

Here's my new bold prediction: LaFell is going to get cut in New England during the season and we're going to bring him back. 

 

Donald "Oh wee mayne" LaFell makes his glorious return home

I was pleased with Cotchery yesterday. He already matched his touchdown total from last year in our first game.

There's no reason that shouldn't continue either.  Cotch is a good red zone target.  He knows what he's doing out there, and defenses tend to forget about him in the red zone.

I never once said we should have signed James Jones. I'm simply pointing out that we are quick to dismiss a guy as "done" and that isn't always true. If we cut Philly Brown today, how many teams would sign him? What about Ginn? Nobody would sign Ginn and if they did it would be to return kicks. Our whole WR group is made up of a bunch of guys nobody else wants.

James Jones wouldn't have mad a difference here, he's still a possession receiver. 

He went back to a team, offense, and quarterback he had several years of familiarity with, let a lone a playbook he already knows. 

If you thought he'd come here and be a number one off the bat you're delusional. He was let go by Green Bay two years ago, and Oakland cut him after one, and he only returned to Green Bay post injury to Nelson which left them twin at the position. 

Guys need to be patient and let Norwood, and Funchess get acclimated. It's gonna be funny when by mid-season and these guys have a level of comfort what the James Jones wanters will say...

I'd rather see two young receivers get meaningful reps to prepare us down the road, Jones would be a band-aid. Funchess, Norwood, and Benjamin upon return could be a very formidable group, it makes more sense to get those two involved than hope a 31 year old possession receiver can save our receiving group.

Never thought I'd see the day where I'd welcome this with open arms.

      Bryce’s new look. He looks like a grown up

      By frankw · Posted

      Oh please with the wallowing in victimhood I'm going to take my ball and go home routine. You were just in here referring to people as super weird haters because they don't completely agree with your borderline delusional spin on what Bryce Young is and isn't as a fourth year starter. We can hope by some miracle that Bryce Young will actually be able to lead a formidable passing offense this season without being irrational homers and pretending verfiable data and what we have seen with our own two eyes doesn't tell us exactly what he has been to this point which is someone who moves the ball at a historically low rate.

      Vrabel and Russini? Athletic investigating.

      I am curious who's behind all of this though. A video and photos from years ago surfacing? Someone has a vendetta and is driving this PR campaign. I'm loving it, but I'd also like to know who said mystery figure is.

      I say positive things about Bryce when he earns them. Which he has a handful of times. It is all here and on the record but your lobby won’t focus on that or the flat out truth inside of our critical comments.  It is a constant thing with him and his backers - one or two good things and people are trying to extrapolate that to proof we should commit to him, while ignoring or making excuses for the larger portion of his track record.  When he is able to consistently turn in franchise QB extension worthy outings the tone of the posts will reflect that.  I have already said that if he would play like he did in the WC as often as we need him to, I would be okay with keeping him.  See you don’t want to talk about that though because it shows actual fair minded evaluation not stanning.
