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.

      This Bryce Guy (General BY Discussion in Here)

      By CRA · Posted

      PJ's completion % was 63% when starting games in Carolina.  Which I believe is better than Bryce when starting.  And again, 4-3 as the starter here and the LONE QB Carolina has been able to actually win with in the Tepper era.  If you ask a gambling gunslinger to come into blowouts.....they are going to go down in a blaze of glory.  Which he would do.  Yeah, he isn't good.  And gunslingers are supposed to have rockier stats than checkdown QBs.   So....why does PJ Walker have a better comp % as a starter than Bryce Young.  And for every knock you want to make about PJ, you can find something or a skillset that PJ does better than Bryce.   I didn't say PJ had good field vision.  He doesn't.  Tell me about Bryce after he comes off the first read lol.  Let me repeat, PJ Walker is not a good QB.  He is NFL depth and an in house arm.  Bryce Young doesn't belong in a convo w/ Jake and Cam.  He belongs closer in a convo with the backup caliber QBs Carolina was forced into playing.  Which isn't just PJ Walker.  But Kyle Allen.  Moore.  Guys like that.

      Oh I see what you meant by memory. I will trust my memory, I have looked a a lot of those ball charts for Bryce and they trend a general pattern. They thing that has changed that I have noticed more recently is the reduction in the bunching of behind or at  the LOS passes over to his right.  Aside from the quantity of throws recently since the running game has become a more dominant factor.

      Yes but you basically said you are going from a quick skim of those charts without doing the same for Bryce and/or Andy. So you are going memory vs. snapshots. That's not going to be a very comprehensive analysis.
