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.

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.

      Reasonable. I mean I didn’t see a clear path to relief this season myself. As I have typed already, I think the QB FA class is more interesting next season and that draft is supposed to be stacked as well. There just weren’t many options this year.  When you have Tepper to contend with you have to tread lightly around this unless you are 100% certain and willIng to stake your job on it.   There were a couple of outings that helped Bryce a lot in terms of  thinking maybe he can do this, and if you are a supporter you are giving them a lot of weight. You are likely to think just get him some more help and he can do that every week. Which I think Tepper falls into that category.  And the playoffs, division champs, regardless of the way I see that, the supporters will also give that a lot of weight.    And the big one, the atmosphere In BOA for that WC game, Tepper had to be soiling himself over that. If you pulled Bryce out right now you had better be right and your new guy had better make the playoffs and look good doing it or you will be gone and your chance to build your old team back into respectability will be gone too.  So here we have Pickett on a one year deal, and Grier and King. I understand it.
