Kida hard to drop rhe ball when you dont even fight/go for it

 

Kid did really improve though last year and finally showing he can be a darn good #2 WR

 

 

Sadly we couldnt brag about the others and drop rate.  Its was sad last year watching those guys.  And that New Orleans playoff game last year was possibly the saddest performance by a group of WR ive ever seen.  Kalil was a turnstile but we still got the ball off and Cam still put it in the breadbasket including in the endzone.  Yet we still dropped them and barely lost.  People like to remember Kalil getting beat on that last play, but not the wide open drops where only Cam handing it to them wouldve made it easier.

When you have injuries and you need to play guys like Clay you will obviously have a drop off . When you can keep it to 5 points on the road against the Saints you have to be optimistic about having a much more experienced OC and a much deeper WR grouip.

When you consider that was probably the worst crop of WRs to ever suit up for a playoff game, they played decent. Cam outplayed Drew, we were just a few plays away from taking that game. After that game I felt similar to the way I felt after losing in the playoffs to Seattle in the 14' season, thinking about the upcoming season. I think we surprise everyone again this year, but the offense leading the way more so than the defense.

I've been as hard on Funchess in the past as just about anyone, but the guy was pretty much playing with one arm at that point. He probably wouldn't have even been on the field if we weren't down to just him and a bunch of practice squaders.

Come on man.  Only reason funch was on the feild at that point is it was him or the water boy.  He was obviously in a ton of pain and he is a tough dude.  

Your spot on about the other wideouts.  poo was hard to watch.

Funchess came in extraordinarily young, for all intents and purposes a tight end, raw as a freshly cut filet mignon, and he has shown great improvement. Many fans, including Huddlers, still don't realize that he has yet to even reach his ceiling. If he has another solid year, we'd be unwise to let him get away.

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

      For starters, and again I am not sure what his capacity is in the media or how connected he is to the team, but I posted above Al Wallace says he is "absolutely" getting 50+ a year and he deserves it.  I obviously strongly disagree with it but it feels like like season when the team is slow leaking info to gauge the temp.   Secondly nobody on Gods green earth is going to sign an extension making less than he is making now.  Thats just crazy talk.

      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.
