I think it all depends on that foot. As long as he can stay healthy below the ankles, I think he can do it for two or three more years. Hell, Jason Witten crawled out of the TV booth and still looks decent. 

He still very effective in this offense, blocking and receiving. If he stays healthy throughout this stretch while Cam is out, his presence gives Kyle a much better shot at sustaining drives and winning games.

How many more good years do you think Gregger has in him?

Considering his effectiveness as a receiver seems to be largely predicated on his ability to find seams in the defense and then use great hands to haul in anything thrown his way, perhaps several. He doesn’t outrun anybody, so erosion of physical skills might have less impact on his effectiveness than other players his age. Then again that foot is a total crap shoot.

I honestly have no idea but Thomas seems promising when he can’t do it anymore. At this point i’ll just enjoy whatever we get.

Last week, outside of one or two throws, was him winning against man.

 

That said, he out muscled the guy for a lot of those, and you can get by on that.

I can see Greg playing another year or two after this year and getting 10,000 career yards and making the HoF with or without a SB. Also if he did go on to be an announcer and did it very well that would help him get into the Hall for sure at some point down the road if he doesn’t get in earlier.

      Nate Tice article on Bryce Young

      By rayzor · Posted

      at some point, though, you just have to suck it up and accept it and deal with the bad deal you got.  you go through funks where you keep making mistakes and hope that you get it figured out sometime soon, but in the learning process you realize you could have done some things better but you're stuck with decisions you make. you have two choices...whine about it or just brush it off and hope can make the situation you put yourself work. i know a lot of people in here have probably never experienced or dealt with failure much in their lives, but i have and i learned to just suck it up and try to make the best of the situation you've got yourself in because you realize that you're stuck with it for a while. doesn't do any good to keep harping over what you wish you had done better. you already know that. now it's just about moving forward from here and making the best of it and hoping you can make something of it. it's the easiest thing in the world to look at where Bryce falls short...and yes, that was intentional. everyone knows that and all that is done is beating that horse laying on the ground. what takes some work is trying to see how it can work and if they have done and are doing things to help the situation get better.

      How the Carolina Panthers found themselves in the worst situation

      I completely agree. Guys like David Carr and Darnold have all the potential in the world but really could have benefited from sitting for a few years.

      I will go to my grave thinking that some qbs simply need to sit for a spell and not start immediately and that having multiple head coaches and oc's in the first few years is a sure fire way to ruin a qb.  Having to learn new schemes, new terminology etc while having to learn to lead in the nfl is simply too much for the majority of qbs.  I know it sucks for the fans but look at KC situation.  That had a great vet mentor to mahoomes and simply let him learn with absolutely no pressure in his rookie year.  Not sure why more teams are not following that model.
