Deep threat WR on the trading block


CRA

Recommended Posts

He isn’t a choir boy...

but Martavis Bryant has requested a trade from the Steelers.  Unhappy with his role.

we have a good relationship with the Steelers, he has local ties (Clemson) and dude can defiantly take the top off a defense. 

Issue of course....is the weed problem.  

 

I’d say if the cost isn’t too high....he would be worth the gamble.  Dude is a freak.  But we all know it ain’t happening

You don’t trade a promising rookie because he is behind. 

Bryant, KB and Fun.....that would be a good threesome.   Shepard could go.

Why would we demote anyone? Currently have 4 wideouts on the roster. Can carry five, just cut one of the safeties.

Also why in the hell would we want to trade Samuel?? Give them a 5th or 6th rounder and call it a day.

If we get Martavius we get a WR1 that will contend with the WR1s in this division and be near unstoppable.

Bryant is not even close to any of the other top wideouts in our division. Not even a discussion. He's worse than KB and Funch to be honest.

He arguably goes deep better than anyone in the division...

all about fitting a role.

He's just as inconsistent as Ginn was here, if not more inconsistent. Not as fast either. Solid tracking skills and catch radius, yes. But not really a burner. Samuel is our deep threat. Give him time. Anything more than a 5th for Bryant would be retarded.

    • He can’t even learn to run routes. No chance in hell he can do both that and pick up blocking schemes 
    • Well he had essentially a 70% completion rate for almost three thousand yards.  Biggest issues were awkward and inconsistent release.  I wouldn't call arm strength bad, but not great.    
    • I see him being better and most of that is a few downfield passes that were seemingly non existent.    But it is what is around him that has dictated the trajectory more than the quarterbacking. He is game manager level and unable to dictate to defenses.  And even if I am wrong and he is the reason we ‘upwarded’, we are bumping our heads on the ceiling and only making meager gains. If it is an incline it is awfully shallow degree wise. Like a finance graph that tracks your progress and hovers around the rate of inflation. Barely breaking even.  Is that where you want your money?  We make up these deadlines expectations and generally he does the minimum of what he needs to do to hang around.    It does not encourage me to believe that when we get into a game against a good run d that we cannot break down with our run game, to believe that we can pivot to the air and successfully counter their strategy.  But they run it back again. Of course I am gunshy of a repeat of the same thing we have watched for three years.    oh, and yes his durability is his most impressive positive for my money. I fear the other shoe dropping on that and the contractual consequences that will follow.   Last  of all, too late to edit my mistake here but would like to acknowledge it: the last three years has done very little to convince me that I was not wrong in not wanting him. One too many “not”s.
