With Brown & Chinn going into their second years, I can see why.

Bridgewater isn't long for these parts and those dudes are the team leaders.

Who's surprisingly not in there is Shaq Thompson.  He should have assumed the role of the leader of our defense last season and clearly did not.

Are you the least bit surprises?  I'm not.  Shaq was never going to be Luke or TD's heir apparent no matter how much Hurney wished it.

I'm not but it's as much shade, maybe even more than the TB.  The writing is on the wall for Bridgewater for the world to see, he is done here.  Buuuut Shaq was given the clear chance to step up and given a nice fat contract after years of production.  He's actually quite a solid player but just not a leader for this team.

He should be getting a decent offer from us, anything less is stupid. I really don't put as much stock in Robby Anderson as everyone else is, he's a 50% completion rate WR up until he was shortened in the passing game with check down teddy. If Moore was to go down who do we really have left at WR so far? Anderson, Zylstra and Cooper?

Heck, DJ is losing out in the Anderson conversation too, remember he still needs to be re-signed.  It's like Robbie is a lock to get a new deal (for some odd reason) and Curtis...to a lesser extent Moore, are expendable.

His contract money isn't for a 'wallflower leader' and just 'good' production.

To be fair, you can't level that criticism at Robby and not do the same with Curtis.  Because pre-TB5, they both had about the same catch %.  Both of them jumped up in catch % this year.  Someone is going to see that and overpay Curtis.

Personally, I'd rather have a 6' 3" true outside receiver than a 5' 11" slot guy.  I love Curtis and what he brings to the offense, but slot guys are not that hard to find.  Our problem historically is that all we seem to find is slot guys.  Then we try to push them outside and they fail.  Rinse repeat.

      J Person article on Canales and game plan and Rico

      By strato · Posted

      I think you know. Apparently winning is secondary to Bryce’s development. Same as it has been.     In a way it may be good because we didn’t need to make the playoffs and extend this fuging charade about Bryce being the guy. Better in the long run if he gets enough rope to hang himself with.

      Dave Canales is not the problem. He just isn't

      I know DC is overthinking this and he really needs to be OC or HC, but how do you call plays with a QB that in all reality, shouldn't be starting. Bryce is wildly inconsistent. He should lean on Rico and the run game, but if he does and wins, it presents a false narrative that Bryce is better than he is and he's potentially stuck with him for another season. If he doesn't, he looks incompetent as a play caller, but it exposes the ugly side of his QB situation that he really does need a QB that can execute at minimum a basic NFL offense with some decent consistency.  I feel a little sorry for the guy because he was anchored with Young this season and even more weight with Dalton getting a 2 year deal. He has very little to work with at the most important position on his team and it's not his doing. The trade deadline was approaching and it was plainly obvious we needed to do something but we didn't for whatever reason.  I don't think he's a complete bonehead and don't know what he's supposed to do. Win games and potentially keep Bryce or lose them by putting the weight on Bryce's shoulders. Either he succeeds or fails.  As a coach I know you're supposed to play to win the game, but do you win now at the ultimate long term detriment to your team and locker room?
