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

      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.

      If you plug Bryce onto the Pro Bowl roster you might have a chance to compete for a SB. If he's surrounded by top tier talent with a top tier defense on the other side, a field flipping punter, and a kicker good from 60+ you might have a chance. But that means you basically have to recreate Saban's Bama in the NFL and that's impossible... and Bryce couldn't win a championship in that environment either. What the Panthers didn't realize when they got so obsessed with his "PG mentality" was that what they were looking st was a "barely checks the box PG". The basketball equivalent of Bryce would be an undersized PG with marginal athleticism who can make the basic plays but adds nothing to the team in terms of elevating the overall team. Not a great shooter, not a great defender, not a great driver. Just a guy who can basically get you into the offense and be a matador on defense. Basically a placeholder while you look to upgrade the PG position.
