Why The Hell Do We Keep Talking About "TE"?

Let's get another TE for Cam to throw to while his ass is eating dirt and grass. Yea don't see that happening.

Whatever man.  I literally just said it doesn't negate the other stuff.  In case you ignored that part, that would mean we would still need to improve that area, among others.

We have more issues than TE. 

But, he's on the wrong side of 30. Can't change that.

I wouldn't even begin to argue that TE is our biggest need, but depending on how the draft board falls I wouldn't be at all opposed to taking one. You're not going to improve your team at all by reaching on guys based purely on need. Your need isn't going to make that marginal prospect a better player.

Greg just went for his third straight 1000k season. 

Before last weekend, Trai Turner was playing RT for us.

There's no TE even worth taking in the top 25. OJ Howard is the best in this class and his a projected late 1st. 

I really don't want to see Trai Turner playing Tackle again.

Gettleman is likely going to do what he always does, and take the BPA. Now what you must ask yourself is is there an OT worth drafting over a top-end TE. Moreover, I think that it is philosophically better to acquire a veteran OT in FA, as they will be decidedly better situated to make an impact than a rookie.

You clearly aren't paying any attention to what I'm saying so knock yourself out.

      Other NFL Games Week 7

      If you look at almost all Daniels stats, they are as good or better than last year minus perhaps Completion Percentage. I don't think Daniels himself is having very much less individual success than the Redskins are reverting to the mean.  https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/46003861/nfl-teams-likely-decline-lose-more-games-2025-season-predictions-vikings-chiefs-commanders-lions-colts#wsh Barnwell wrote about them in the preseason as a team that had an inordinate amount of luck or success in one score games that wasn't very likely to be repeated.

      We thinking of the same Mike White? He probably won’t even make it off the practice squad.

      I would heavily push back on the notion of Tomlin and Cowher inheriting "collapsed teams." From 1980 to 1991(prior to Cowher and after their Super Bowl victories) the Steelers experienced just 4 sub .500 seasons. In fact the winning percentage for those years was 0.505. At most that was relatively mediocre, something fairly akin to the pre-Tepper Panthers. From Cowher through Tomlin(1992 to Present) it has been the NFL's best franchise. 22 playoff appearances, 4 Super Bowl Appearances, 2 Titles, 15 times winning the division. In fact they have only experienced 3 sub .500 records in that 34 season span.  That isn't ever a scenario where rebuilding happens. It's constant and consistent retooling so that your franchise floor is always high. It's smart business decisions, exceptional drafting and quality personnel moves that create a situation where that floor STAYS high.  It was precisely BECAUSE we opted to go through a complete teardown and "rebuild" without any of that competence being in the organization at all that led us to where we are currently. A situation that will more than likely continue for well over a decade longer.  Long term successful franchises do not "rebuild." They are in a constant state of competent flux that sustains them through some leaner periods without ripping the foundation completely out that led to that success in the first place.
