He's going to have to block some.  The team isn't going to trot him on the field only in 3rd and long situations.  Grated, he's a pass cathcing TE, but even those guys have to do some dirty work now and again.

Yeah sure a little but that's not why they signed him. Check out this stat from last season

Field Position

  G REC YDS AVG LNG TD 1st 1st% 20+ 40+
Own 1-20 - by Yard Line   1 9 9 9 0 0 0 0 0
Own 21-50 - by Yard Line   12 226 18.8 59 1 10 83.3 4 1
Opp 49-20 - by Yard Line   13 185 14.2 41 0 10 76.9 4 1
Opp 19-1 - by Yard Line   5 18 3.6 8 3 4 80 0 0

 

Look at those 1st down numbers! He's a chain mover!!

Best signing outside of Reddick tbh.

I liked Moore too--you have to let the Huddle comics post their ???? comments. They would turn down a date with Barbara Fialho because they have never heard of her. 

Then the analysis starts.  Very nice signing.

Yes it is. Usually I feel like we've always just signed players because we need a player at X position. Now, I feel we are signing players because we need a player at X position that can do Y and Z. Very different mentality to me. Me likey

    • Really? You don't see why a team can't draft a QB in the 1st round while then starting their former #1 overall pick over them while on the last year of their deal? It puts the team in a TERRIBLE place no matter how the season goes.  If Bryce sucks, you have to answer questions as to why he was still on the team to begin with, let alone starting over the rookie.  If he's good, then you run into the situation the Vikings were in last offseason with sticking with the rookie contract or the the guy who just performed instead of said young QB. It's one thing when teams keep a vet around as a bridge QB, it's something entirely different when that QB is still only in their mid 20's and was taken #1 overall by that team.   That just doesn't happen and not sure it ever has in NFL history before.
    • What is the alternative? - BY, will not play for less then his perceived contract (just like Cam Newton did). So you pay him top of market as befitting a 1st round, Heisman winning, playing birthing QB would get. Or you cut him. - Then we are forced to either sign a stop gap QB / previously failed QB and try to fix him or you spend a 1st round pick and draft a guy, basically resetting the team.  The reality is that we all want a top 5 QB. The problem is there are only 5 of those guys in the world and drafting, even #1 overall doesn't guarantee that.  The other problem is the NFL market. Young QB get paid. Even an average, young QB gets top of market deals. I know a lot of people here think we could sign him to an 'average QB contract' but thats not reality. Didnt happen with Cam wont happen with BY.  So we could let this season flush out and he is again a middling QB. But then we cut and restart or accept it is what it is (including compensation) and build a team around what we have.  My money is on the latter.
