The fact that he's been a healthy scratch is every reason why you move on from him.

I get it as a gut reaction but he was injured his rookie year and last year he showed flashes. I think that lines up with a player who has raw talent but needs to hone his skills. I understand he was picked earlier then he needed to be but everyone isn't going to come in and produce in year 1/2. It takes time and you have to give him that. I'm also not saying time is going to make him a better player, that's up to him and the coaches, but we need the time to find out and by time I mean this year. He needs to put together a consistent year of at least average play.

 

I really think if he was taken in the 3rd it wouldn't be this hot of an issue, but Marty had to Marty. The cost is spent the only value that matters now is what he can add to the team.

I don't think Little's body is half as big a problem as his brain.

Last year, if somebody wasn't running right at him or directly in his path, he just stood there having no idea what to do.

That's not a profile that says "successful guard" to me.

No.  Anyone who researched him and watched him would dismiss him as a G.  He was a boom or bust LT.  He busted.  You do not experiment with a LT if you have your future QB back there.  Not only does it get the QB hurt if he gets hit, but just KNOWING Little is on the left side can cause the QB to hurry a throw or flinch when the clock in his head hits 3 seconds..

He looked promising before injuries. I think the huddle opinion of him is at partially based just on him being a Hurney second round pick, and not entirely objective. No reason to count him out entirely at this point in his career.

He was not good last year. But did show flashes in previously. His concussion history though is the most concerning part 1-2 more and he is done.

Injuries didn't affect his brain.

Even factoring in practice time out, he looked absolutely lost way more times than he should have last season. That's why he got benched for an undrafted guy.

Add in that while I actually disagree with the notion that he looked better pre-injury, even accepting that premise, you can't get the "pre-injury" guy back. He is what he is now.

You wouldn't have to cut him if you weren't stupid enough to draft him to start with. He's a bust and watching his turnstile technique of blocking isn't going to make it better.

Last year was his 2nd year in the league. He was raw coming in and everyone knew it would take time, as it usually does with offensive linemen taking outside of the Top 10.

 

People seem to forget that the developmental curve for offensive linemen is far steeper than all skill positions.

      Monday practice tweets

      I know it's only been training camp and one preseason game, but I think T-Mac has already shown his floor to be exactly what I said about him in the pre-draft process. That his floor if he never improves his game, is as one of the best #2 WRs in the NFL, if not even still a low end #1 (i.e. a 25th-ish best WR in the league). I think it's safe to say he's already established himself as our #1, and there are only a small handful of teams in the league where I don't think he'd be their starting #2 WR in Week 1. Bengals (Higgins), Dolphins (Waddle), Eagles (Smith), Bucs (Godwin if healthy), Rams (Adams) are really the only teams where I think he'd be the #3 as a rookie in Week 1.  A few others like the Lions (Williams), Bears (Odunze), Seahawks (Kupp), Commanders (Deebo), where he'd be the 2b to start the season, just because they're vets and/or already have a year or two of experience with their team/QB. And even having said that, I think by year 2, he's better than every one of those players (And no, I'm not saying he's already going to be better than a prime version of Adams, just whatever he'll be at 33 next year), and same goes for Kupp, but that's more because it seems like his body might be quitting on him in a way that hasn't happened to Adams (yet).

      Well to be fair, Horn not practicing right now to let his stitches heal up from a car accident isn't something that should be concerning.  Sure, you don't want him missing practice leading into the season, but it's one that once healed, won't have lingering affects or fear of re-injuring it, it was just bad luck.

      Austin named starting center

      By UnluckyforSome · Posted

      Quality backups are absolutely important. This franchise has been plagued with depth problems. That said, there is a little bit of dismay that Mays can't beat out a 1-legged man, and all the talk going into the off-season was how BC would certainly be gone since he had position versatility.  In the end, it doesn't matter too awfully much, as I would be shocked to no end if Corbett makes it through the season. We know what we have in reserve, and that should surely be better than trying to sign random fat guys mid season to try and take over.
