He really is our MVP. 75% of the time, D-Lo and J-Stew simply follow him before the break out. It's almost as if he's running a route himself rather than becoming a battering ram. Fiametta is nowhere near his talent level and as we've seen, the run game suffers when Hoov ain't in there. But...Hoover isn't getting any younger. Hopefully he can train Fiametta properly.

Yeah since Fiametta has so little playing time. As long as we have TF there, I think we should play up to his skills. Wasn't he pretty versatile at Syracuse? Teams won't be expecting him for checkdowns and what not.

"Fiammetta played in 44 games at Syracuse, as a fullback and on special teams. In 2008, he was a receiving threat out of the backfield and is the third-leading receiver (16 receptions for 127 yards). In his four years at Syracuse, Fiammetta had 16 carries for 89 yards, including a career-long 58-yard run at Cincinnati in his final game for the Orange, and 28 receptions for 202 yards and one touchdown."

I know he's a rookie but he's dropped two important passes this year already. I know he has to get groomed for his eventual take-over as starter but he scares me right now.

If hoover can't go against the saints, and being that fiametta suffered a concussion(which means he probably can't play for a few weeks) who in the hell is gonna play fullback? we joked around last night that stewart could play the fullback position for a couple weeks.....imagine the blocks he would get! but we know that won't happen.

Anyone else concerned that Fiammetta was also out due to a concussion? I appreciate he is no where in Hoover's league, but that leaves us with a gapping whole at FB if neither clears up. For a power running team that is kinda important...

you beat me to it....sorry.:rolleyes:

    • How do you expect him to step up in the pocket when Ickey is being pushed to the spot you want him to be. Stills don’t tell the entire picture.
    • They're examples of denying reality. Here are some others: ,- Bryce is the worst QB in the NFL right now (no he isn't) - Bryce is the worst QB in NFL history (no he's not; that's stupid) - Well then Bryce is at least the the worst QB in the league over the last three years (nope, he's actually improved a lot since year one, which was a turbulent year anyway) - That's not true, he hasn't Improved one but since his rookie year (oh come on) 🙄 - Well, even if he did, we can't win with him (obviously we can) - Yeah but not unless everyone else is damn near perfect (think the game film from our wins this year would back that up?) - Even so, we won those games in spite of him (officially the stupidest argument available) And no, those are made up. You can find those quotes and other equally moronic statements in various threads around the board. I know some folks always need to characterize whatever they're against as the worst thing in existence. It's hyperbole, and it's hypersilly. Likewise, you've got some who are so absolutely emotional about it that even if you think Bryce isn't good enough (which I do) they'll still call you a stan if you don't agree to label him the lousiest passer in existence 🙄 It's just dumb, and it's not realistic. But on the flipside, here are some statements which are; - Bryce is indeed capable of both playing in, and winning, an NFL game. Not on a consistent level though, and consistency is huge. - He is also capable of completing mid-range and even some deep passes; hell, he threw a beauty this past Sunday  - Yes, he has improved over his rookie season and over last year. Arguing against that is disingenuous. - Believe it or not, other players are the roster do make mistakes in games also.  - And lastly, while I know it hurts some people's narrative and arguments, Bryce does indeed deserve credit for the winning games he's played in this season. ... Every single one of those statements is true. And since i acknowledge all that, I must be in favor of keeping him in place then Except I'm not 😕 ... Don't know of anyone who doesn't think he'll get the fifth year option. Not ready to guarantee anything beyond that, though. So bottom line: Yeah, Bryce is fully expected to be our quarterback through next year. If there were a logical, realistic path to acquire a more capable starter and transition Bryce to a backup I'd be elated, but that's a pipe dream. This where we're at  I don't **** it, you don't like it, others don't either. But here We are so let's make the best of it that we can.
    • What does it matter how fast the wrs are with Bryce he is not hitting them anyway
