Who were the pleasant surprises from last year?

I can't remember much about the season last year. Had a lot going on like most people so it was all pretty much a blur. By the time the season got started life was all about work and recovering from work so I barely paid attention.

I'm trying to think of what this team might look like going forward, but without a better understanding of what we were able to do with who we had, it's kind of hard.

So who were the standouts on offense and defense? Think about the obvious and the not so obvious that you'd like to see more of going forward. The guys that should be included in the plans for 2021.

 

Also...who were the ones that we don't need to waste anymore time on? I prefer to see who were the shiny bits from last year, but it's also good to know who y'all think we should move on from.

 

thanks in advance.

On offense our receivers stood out I thought.

On defense the obvious standouts were Burns and Chinn with promising starts from Brown and flashes from YGM.

I'd like to move on from Slye and happy we moved on from Boston

I really wanted us to add Jose Borregales from Miami, that kid is so accurate. He doesn't just make his kicks, he centers almost all of them. Unfortunately Tampa Bay picked him up. Will be interesting to see if he can beat out Ryan Succop.

Well you didn’t specifically ask about this...but special teams. 

I’m personally tired of the Joey Sly experiment at K

Thought the local kid we brought off his couch to punt did a good job.  

I still would like someone I felt confident in as a PR guy.  Just fielding them clean has been a nerve racking feeling most seasons.

I feel like both John Miller and Juston Burris were quite overlooked by the fans but were pretty damn good at times.  Not world beaters but I just don't see them really talked of much.

Otherwise I would say the entire draft class minus Thomas-Oliver.

Also add on Carter Jr. fighting his way through the doghouse and into Rhule's favor.

      Malcom Spence is the best player remaining, hope he’s there.

      The era that you played in, and, more importantly, who you played with actually matters. Honestly, that's why these issues will be debated forever, as it's just difficult to say that this person or that person is better when you're discussing the passage of time. As for me, after Rice, Moss and maybe Megatron and T.O., there's probably a dozen or so guys that can be argued about to the cows come home. Personally, I'm not putting Fitz, Harrison, Johnson, Evans, or especially D-Hop, Jefferson, Chase or Hill definitely in front of Smitty (and Colston ain't even in the discussion). Context and all that stuff actually matters. Things like the triple crown matter.

      Some of those guys? Yeah honestly you can.  I would 100% take Steve Smith over Larry Fitzgerald, Harrison, even Mike Evans. He is 100% a better player than those guys in his prime. If you look at the numbers Smith is historically under targeted in comparison to his contemporaries. He was only targeted 150 times or more only once in his career. Fitzgerald for example was targeted well above that 9 different seasons. Had Smith played with Peyton, Brady, Greatest Show on Turf, or even with Warner in Arizona he would broken records. His 2008 season was ridiculous accumulating 1400 yards in 13 games on less than 80 receptions. All time he also lost a season due to injury in 04, barely played WR as a rookie. Got robbed of 1k season with Clausen. Thats easily another 1800yds minimum that should have been tacked on to his #s. The only guys I’d say for certain are better than Smith are Rice, Moss, TO, Megatron, Julio Jones, Antonio Brown.
