Me neither--Bold statement of the day:  Luvu will make us not miss Reddick much.  He is more versatile, imo and much cheaper.

Riddick has been MIA since mid season last year. He's another one trick pony that is a LB pretending to be a DE.  But he's fast so there's that.

Carter sucked. He was often out of position. 

Luvu was a decent move but I feel like he was the beneficiary of circumstance more than an actual difference maker. Like he didn't get a ton of playing time on defense but he made the most of what he did get. So hopefully if he gets more time he can continue that success, but it could be a gamble.

Great special teams player though. 

It is a gamble, but not as much as signing a high-priced free agent coming off a great year.  I see your point and you are not wrong.

Yep.

Amazing we didn’t overpay. Good deal here so how did we not manage to get Thomas to a good value deal? I think Gonzalez had a much bigger impact for us than Thomas did last year. If Tremble played all of Thomas’ snaps, we would not have lost a step. If Gonzalez got hurt, we likely would have suffered.

Yeah, didnt' this guy account for something close to 100% of the offense last year?

Carter had potential, he played well as a back up but this year he sucked. Good back up, that’s it. I know Luvu had great PFF scores and did well but only in limited time. Would he be as good if he was full time or is he only a good situational player?

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.

      Moton Meets the Press

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.

      I think people aren’t patient enough with Young. It can take a few years for a QB to develop. Look at Darnold, Baker and most recently Daniel Jones.   he hasn’t been able to put up big passing numbers either cause of how much we run the ball. You can tell our coaching staff still hasn’t took the training wheels off Bryce and let him go all out. We’ve had some pretty bad receivers as well. We finally got a true number one last year and look how much Bryce improved. Still we didn’t really have any depth behind TMac. Coker was hurt for a lot of the year and XL was our #2. How many big plays or TDs has XL dropped? I think this year can be the year we see Bryce able to hit his stride. If not then we can start looking for another qb but I just ask people to be patient.
