Wait....is PFF good again?

At this point I treat it like seeing someone you know while driving. You sit up straight, smile big and wave like an idiot.

You see that same person at Walmart and you cut down the first aisle to avoid speaking.

so, yeah.  PFF

haha I think that's the exception.

Like I said there is good strategy to do the deal, but we REALLY need to make the right decision

Agreed. He is going to have to have a top 10-12 type season for me to even think about an extension after one year. The lows were just too low in his career. 

I actually agree that he needs at least two years of above average play to get a chance at an extension.

In a world where 4 WRs is too many...

This fanbase has been so scarred by having WR corps with only 1 or 2 good receivers for so long that we have forgotten that the perennially winning teams in the league typically have at least 4 receivers who can actively perform and contribute...

Given the amount of high quality WR's coming out of college each year, you could make the case that paying top of the market for a WR is a misuse of resources. 

Maybe... or you could look at it from the standpoint that this is perhaps the first time in franchise history where we are establishing a legitimate receiving corp that can be maintained for hopefully more than a year or two.

When this team starts drafting WR's as shrewdly as the Steelers have, then maybe you have a point.

Myself, I'm just happy after 20 years we are finally developing (and hopefully sustaining) a receiver corp that we can actually be proud of (beyond the fleeting moment we had Smitty & Moose together)

Yeah thats true as well. We need Darnold to succeed and the best way to do that is to give him playmakers. I think we are in a good position to see if he is the guy.

Marshall caught 6 passes and Smith caught 3 so far this preseason and PFF has enough info to come up with their magic grades. 
 

Yes our rookie wide outs look promising and yes PFF is still garbage.

I think they factor in more than just their stats.  I believe it is based on how well they run each route and if they "win" that route.  I could be mistaken though because I dont think theyve ever made their grading process that open but I believe there is more to it than just grading plays where they are thrown to.  Regardless pff is just a tool.  It's not a be all end all.  It's one tool to evaluate performances.  It's still more of a positive to be graded well than badly I'd say.

      This is about getting open and YAC....and the QB we have.  You basically are just highlighting average depth when targeted vs 2 players. .  And yeah, I often say AT is a small slow reliable TE in terms of what he does for us.   That's what he is.   I think a couple of you want to make this into a Renfrow argument.   I'm a Renfrow fan.  Renfrow does not check the box of what a BY O needs either at the slot.  Renfrow just a niche roleplayer at this level.  it's easy to look up how horrific AT is with the ball in his hands and in terms of getting open.....and it's also easy to look up what a low ceiling of an offense the steady AT diet produces w/ BY.

      The one time he's actively tried to lose was the best we've ever done.

      I simply acknowledge BY is the QB.  And just like we did when we drafted him.....the type O you would need to setup around him for success was always pretty simple.  But we have done virtually the opposite.  XL dropping some passes isn't why we were ranked the 32nd O and 30th passing the past 2 years.  *Ricky Prohel was brought up only in regards to role function he served on the team.  Niche/specialist.   He wasn't eating up the snaps in the O.    AT should have a similar snap %. People could MAUL Ricky Prohel and put hands all over him.   We got to the Super Bowl in part because we were mauling guys (our slot CB).   You can't do that now.  AT has a MUCH easier life and still can't get open.  Or run.    If you live in 3 WR sets, with a weak armed QB, and you choose to put someone who can't get open or run in the slot.......well, your are going to have a weak pass O.  That's by design IMO.
