praying that we do not waste a 1st round pick on the least important position in all of football. 

Take a look at the ridiculous contracts free agent WRs fetched this year. Pretty clear that the NFL strongly disagrees with your "least important position" stance.

If we want an impact WR we'll have to draft one because we can't afford one on the open market.

If you think wide receiver is the least important position in all of football. Take Antonio Brown off the steelers roster and see what happens to their team. 

Right.  I am one of the people who think you develop inside to out, front to back.  In other words, you can have a game changing WR, but if you have no OL, you are limited.  I think our needs are on the outside or back, (S, CB, WR, TE, RB) since Moton is now going to (possibly) be the LG.

they likely continue to lose to the patriot and win their division. no team drafts WR better than Pitt. Also, thank you for proving my point with a 6th round draft pick example.

It wasn’t just competent, it was mainly healthy. If Samuel or Byrd is healthy or if KB isn’t traded, I’d think any of them could have caught the ball Clay dropped. 

exactly. health killed us. even funchess wasnt healthy.

This is so true...look at what Norwell just got and what good tackles usually get on the open market. 

I for one hope the Moton to LG rumors are true because he is the difference maker on our OL this year. It would keep us from having to go G at 24 or even 55. Moton played G in school and is so intuitive and intelligent that he has a place on our line. Why not at least try him for a year at LG and see what pans out. It's not like we are trying to convert Munnerlyn to LG.

Going Allll in on the small speedy WRs I see

Torrey Smith- 6'0 205 (4.43)

Russell Shepard- 6'1 195 (4.46)

Byrd- 5'9 180 (4.28)

Curtis Samuel- 5'11 195 (4.31)

Jarius Wright- 5'10 190 (4.42)

 

 

 

 

 

 

Funchess- 6'4 225 (4.7)

 

Cam will still overt throw them and then people will say it's cuz he has no weapons

I watched some YouTube clips. He kind of has odellesque athleticism. Or maybe  smitty. He just glides out there and has a nose for the touchdown. No effort. Think he’s gonna be a really good nfl player. 

I remember you having a real hard on for Odell when he was comimg out and you were pretty spot on with how good he was. Antics aside

 

so, ill trust your judgement on this guy since you have a pretty good radar for WRs

Well, I guess since they keep losing to the Pats who got Brady in the 6th round too that must mean that QB is also one of the least important positions in football.

See how these spiking the football "proves my point" posts work out?

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      The question I wonder involves putting the cost behind us.      At this point he's here, so does the premium paid even matter anymore? It set expectations no doubt, and they weren't met.  He's been bench-worthy bad, but he's come back and looked first average, above-average to maybe great, and then downright bad again.  Now we're back on a good trend again.  Absolute rollercoaster.   So what level of performance deems him a viable option to hold?  He's looked absolutely incapable of moving an offense at times, and others like a guy you can "Purdy" with some dimes sprinkled in.     So, if he continues on this 2 game trend and shows consistent average to above-average play, we're treading into tricky territory.  Such a big investment but he tops out as a top-15/20 QB option.  It's Alex Smith KC type vibes. Are we going to be sitting at 7-10 come end of season and feel kind of meh? It's right at that fringe of what is worth it.  If he doesn't re-sh*t the bed, we may be best suited to go BPA next draft and see the 2026 progression.  And that will be the final make/break year.  What I can see if he doesn't fall apart and things look manageable: He may end up being the average precursor to finding the great talent that you can build the team around.  How Alex Smith was in KC.  They built that with him (not around him) until they eventually got Mahomes.  Heck, think back to Trent Green/Warner.  So, BY can manage, we may get some success, but if a stud comes along, we bail and roll with the new gun.

      We win 2 games largely due to historic rushing from our backup RB we signed in free agency and now the huddle is regarded as the most toxic place on the internet because not everyone shares the same opinion that Bryce Young has proven himself to actually be a long term starting QB yet. This place was just as ugly through the prime Cam years. People complained about him even when he was producing and we were winning the division. Things were just as ugly through the Jake years. Sometimes people would get so irate and fed up with him they would literally be calling for his head. How about we just give eviscerating one another a breather and see how this team and Bryce look on the road. Nothing anyone can say is going to make a difference until then.
