I'm actually excited about it if so...  I mean, we started Hendo for how many years?  It's a welcome change, regardless of who it is, and from what I've seen, most of our fanbase wasn't very impressed with Lamb during the preseason.  Also, PJ started looking the part the further we got into the preseason. 

And regardless, I still believe his potential is a go-to scorer in the NBA, but I have also seen enough to think it's possible he isn't anything close to that.   Only way to tell either way, is to put him out there for extended minutes.  So, I like this move.

Does it really matter?  He could still play less minutes than the person on the bench.

I'm actually impressed Clifford is playing a young guy and giving him a chance.  That should have us pretty happy actually, especially for Frank's chances of getting PT.

Actually makes sense.  Lamb is banged up and was not very good in the preseason.  PJ if he can get hot would be the most dangerous three point shooter in this first unit.  Maybe he gets hot and makes a difference.  Big opportunity for him let's see what he can do.

Also this is basically Clifford telling Lin the second unit is his.

I would rather see what we have in young guys like Hairston and Lamb than starting an Elliott Williams who is a career 15th man just because he's a veteran. 

Also remember just because a guy starts, he won't necessarily get the bulk of the minutes.

In addition, they've also been playing a lot of Lin at the 2 with Kemba. I don't know how that has worked out or how much they plan on deploying it this year, but it's been done.

      For starters, and again I am not sure what his capacity is in the media or how connected he is to the team, but I posted above Al Wallace says he is "absolutely" getting 50+ a year and he deserves it.  I obviously strongly disagree with it but it feels like like season when the team is slow leaking info to gauge the temp.   Secondly nobody on Gods green earth is going to sign an extension making less than he is making now.  Thats just crazy talk.

      No. Physical tools alone aren't enough. There are plenty of examples of draft busts to support that. Aost all of them had the physical tools and that wasn't enough. But Bryce is a perfect example of the opposite. Absolutely elite intangibles aren't enough either. If you simply don't have the physical abilities all the football intelligence and work ethic in the world won't be enough to overcome it. Just look to the sidelines every Sunday. We call those people "coaches".

      As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it.
