He is not a damn TE. If he can't or wont block hes a WR. Seriously. Especially because we lost Manhertz. 

 

Kyle Pitts did a great job blocking against Bama. So he absolutely CAN block. He is not a WR. This was what people who don’t watch the Gators kept spouting all year because he wasn’t asked to block as a Sophmore. Then during the game day thread for the Gators vs Bama game everyone who doesn’t watch seemed surprised as to how well he was blocking when he wasn’t running routes.

Pitts had like 750yrds this year iirc.

4300-750=3550 yrds

 

That's still pretty damn good even without Pitts, much better than most of his peers.

He may not be flashy but he's a much better QB than teh huddle gives credit for. Another one of those QBs people will be wondering about why he wasn't picked by the genius bottom feeder NFL teams.

 


I like Trask a lot ! So this pains me to say but if Pitts wasn’t out those stats would have been lower by more then 750 yards... I like Trask but Sec teams werr game planning to stop Pitts and they could not .. that’s a super nice thang to have for any qb

If we want a tall, fast, redzone target that's not going to be an in-line blocker, we can wait until the 3rd/4th round to draft that guy (Strachan or Fehoko).  No need to get Pitts at #8.  Plus, we just signed Dan Arnold... a tall, rezone target that's not a blocking TE.  That signing took Pitts out of the picture for us, IMO.

No third rounder or Arnold has the talent Pitts does. However, I don’t believe he’s even going to be on the board when we pick anyway.

 If Pitts were available at #8 and the 4 QBs are gone, I have a feeling he still would not be the pick or the team would trade back.   I don't think Brady values the TE position highly, especially as a top 10 pick.

Is an LT available at that spot we believe in? If so, LT is the pick. I don’t trust any corners at this spot. Outside of Slater/Sewell, if QBs 1-4 are gone, I could see Pitts being the pick. I just don’t think he makes it to 8. Brady values offense, period. If he had an elite TE, he would use him. He hasn’t had one to work with but that’s not his fault.

He did a great job blocking...for a WR.

Pains me to say that's likely true. Pitts is damn close to that megatron freak but at TE. He also has production to match eye popping athletic ability.  And yeah Pitts is another few levels above Arnold. I mean I like what Arnold is going to bring as a pass catcher, but even in that regards, Pitts is the better receiver. He's grown on me as our pick if Sewell and the top 4 QBs are gone. I'm hoping atl and miami pass on him.

Brady would definitely use him. We saw the TE still used in NO with Brady. In 2018, the #3 guy in receptions was 38 year old TE Ben Watson. In 17, they had Hill and no one at the position to use. When NO has one they use one, see Cook in 2019 and even 2020. Brady is from the school of Payton so it's not like they never use a TE. Peyton has never had a top TE since Jimmy Graham. And oh he was dominant in 2011-2014. 

 

Let's be honest, Brady had 3 top WR at LSU: Chase, Jefferson, and Marshal. Maybe all 1st rounders. Hell the RB was also a 1st rounder so yeah  the weekend link at TE didn't get the ball as much. Everyone goes with Moss getting 47 receptions and 570 yards not using the TE. BTW, those are LSU records, and Moss's only season of merit. Give him a top 5 TE, and he's not going to just put him in for only blocking. Think the Arnold signing points to a willingness to go get good receivers at TE.

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.

      Reasonable. I mean I didn’t see a clear path to relief this season myself. As I have typed already, I think the QB FA class is more interesting next season and that draft is supposed to be stacked as well. There just weren’t many options this year.  When you have Tepper to contend with you have to tread lightly around this unless you are 100% certain and willIng to stake your job on it.   There were a couple of outings that helped Bryce a lot in terms of  thinking maybe he can do this, and if you are a supporter you are giving them a lot of weight. You are likely to think just get him some more help and he can do that every week. Which I think Tepper falls into that category.  And the playoffs, division champs, regardless of the way I see that, the supporters will also give that a lot of weight.    And the big one, the atmosphere In BOA for that WC game, Tepper had to be soiling himself over that. If you pulled Bryce out right now you had better be right and your new guy had better make the playoffs and look good doing it or you will be gone and your chance to build your old team back into respectability will be gone too.  So here we have Pickett on a one year deal, and Grier and King. I understand it.
