Our best WR over the last 2 years....isn't here.  It matters.  It mattered the first time he left.  We admitted it.  We brought him back.  

We are a deep play offense with no deep threat.  It never makes sense but we keep repeating this pattern over and over. 

Ginn isn't great.  He fit here though.   He fit the need our scheme requires. 

And I realize we have guys like Byrd who can run fast.  Either play him and if he can't hang with the starters go get someone that can.  Tired of the same patterns repeating.

You can't be serious?   We have speed at wr that can actually catch the ball more than 50% of the time right now.  For whatever reason Shula choses to send KB or Funchess on go routes instead.    You can't make this poo up.

We drafted Samuel and I can't recall sending him downfield once this season.

He is a rookie.  Takes time.  I'm talking about the 2017 season.  Unfair to fault Samuel for the void this year. 

He has a lot to learn.  He could steal Ginn's end around but unfair to think he could step in and take the top of NFL defenses right away

Okay.  Name the players we have that have taken the top off NFL defenses? And made the plays then. 

Difference between having guys that can and having guys you hope will.

Oh I agree but I feel like they are almost forcing him on the field over a guy like Byrd who you mentioned. If you are going to play him now at least send him on a streak once or twice even if it is just a decoy. So far all I have seen from him is that one sweep and a bunch of terrible wr screens.

We dont know because they aren't being used.  Why are we sending the slowest receivers on long routes and the fastest guys go short?   Nothing makes sense.

I would like to still have Ginn, but there is so much more going on than lack of Tedd Ginn. 

Well it certainly doesn't help to run a vertical play action scheme with no vertical threat on the team.  Basics aren't in place.  Things didn't go well last time we did this either. 

NFL defenses than shut our scheme down.  Repeat of history. 

Cam being rusty obviously hurts to but when he gets healthy opposing Ds simply have an edge now on us because we lack what we need to run our O

We have deep threat receivers.

We also have a quarterback with a bum shoulder. 

So basically, we could have a dozen deep threat receivers and it wouldn't matter.

We have guys we hope can become deep threats in the NFL.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By cranky · Posted

      Rico walking is no big deal. I'll take a healthy 2024 Hubbard over Rico any time and losing Mays is, again, no a big deal.  Young is signed for what, $35M for the next two years? Say he wants $50M but the FO doesn't. If they put the franchise tag on him, that would be around $55? So basically they are getting Young for the next 3 years for an average of $30M per year. Putting the franchise tag on him wouldn't be my first choice but it gives them an option that wouldn't be locking him into a long term, $50M contract. I'm not suggestion they do that. Just that the option will be there should they get to that point. Hunt is on a 5 year deal which is done in 28 so he either restructures or is gone anyway. Moton will be 35 by then and will either be gone or have diminished playing time. Neither of those players has anything to do with getting Young a contract. The O line is way overpaid anyway. Hopefully by the time they are gone, Freeling and Hecht will be developed and Ickey will be healthy. Young was benched his second year and only got his job back because Dalton was injured. Not sure how you can call that entitled. And I would NOT say putting a rookie QB on a team with no receivers, tight ends or O lineman and then being put with a coach who never wanted you and is fired mid season, is a definition of luck. As far as competition, no team is going to bring in competition for a QB picked first overall - especially given the capital that was given up to get him.
