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.

He hasn't shown any signs of slowing down. 

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.

    • Option 1 is most likely. Even if he kills it this year, it wouldn't be prudent to rush an extension for one good season. If you have to pay him more because you waited another year, then he earned it. And that's OK. Adjust accordingly. 
    • Cam had the advantage of having a very strong supporting cast his first 2 seasons. Things definitely worsened later on. But those first couple of years can kill a QB. Some never truly recover. If they do recover it takes years, and usually with another team. Trying to learn to be an NFL QB with TEs and WRs that are trying to learn too is a recipe for disaster. Imagine if Cam's rookie season was that 2014 offensive squad. Changes everything! I said it when they moved up in 2023. This team wasn't ready for a rookie QB yet. Anyone that thinks Stroud would have been a lot better is delusional. The correct formula is to build a strong team and then you go get your rookie QB. Not the other way around. BY is going into his third season and we're still trying to put a respectable group of WRs and TEs around him. I think they have the right personnel now. Unfortunately they haven't developed into actual NFL players yet.  This season we should expect consistency and aggressiveness from BY. Mostly for his development but also to DEVELOP his young cast.
    • It is goofy how some people hate Bryce so much that they're flat out lying to try and remain entitled to their pessimism. It's insanity. Most fans are realists and eagerly awaiting the season to see if we get pre- or post-benching Bryce to start the season and how much he is able to do with some young and developing weapons. Many of us understand that these young guys are going to have growing pains on the job as well as the new defense, but the fans with all of the excuses for why Bryce can't be successful are pounding the no excuses drum. Personally, I'd prefer the Keep Pounding drum.
