WR room (add another injury)

[Panthering]

Call up Jarvis Landry or Bryan Edwards.... or dare I say Julio Jones.

[Gerry Green]

I hear Craig's list is a good place to find talent. Am I doing it right?

[MHS831]

Mild strains--3 weeks (ready by week 2)

Moderate Strains--8 weeks (ready by weeks 4- 6)

Severe strain--12 weeks (ready by week 10)

 

[DeeJay]

I"ll take Landry and Julio anyday

Just don't play Julio every play or as we learned from the titans he got hurt after 10 plays

Both Chark and Shenault have an injury history it's why both their former teams moved on despite the talent they possess. TMJ is also perpetually banged up. Thielen our #1 is no spring chicken either. Unfortunately we backed ourselves into this corner. It's on Fitterer. Honestly he's very overrated here. Nice guy. Made a few nice picks and moves here and there. But very much unproven. Hopefully this doesn't bite us in the booty and hinder the development of the #1 pick we traded significant assets to draft.

Agree on Fitterer being overrated. If Bryce doesn’t work out he will be done as a GM and probably out of the NFL

I hope he works out bc his failure means more misery for us. But the guy definitely has his rabid clique of fans here that are much in the same mold of past Hurney supporters and Gettleman supporters. Those guys were ultimately terrible but at least had a winning season to backup the "don't you dare slander him" responses. We're still waiting for the first one with Scott at the helm.

They both went to Super Bowls in their first 3 seasons here.

Use those TEs!

People think Fitterer was in charge of trading for that pick, and selecting that player?  
Tep hired Reich because he agreed with him on Young. Bet on that.

man we are going to be horrible this year aren't we?

Fitt aint out there injuring these WRs himself you big dumb babies. No we didnt need Hopkins with his price tag at the time and still dont. He wouldnt come here anyway with a new QB with new coaches and a new system. You guys act like we can make anyone come here against their will.

I think he would reconsider since currently he's unemployed.  At the right price I think Hopkins would be a good fit for us.  He's a veteran WR that would be great for Shenault as well as Mingo and TMJ.

The sad part injuries was my main concern in wanting to sign him.

 

I said we are a WR injury away from that position being really limited from a production standpoint. All I kept hearing was "he would take away reps from the young guys". Now we have multiple injuries at WR and now have to depend on the rookie Mingo and Thielen to carry the load early in the season.smh

It was always a matter of contract cost and length. At the time we were talking a 1 year deal in the 18-20 per year range, plus he was saying he didn't want to play for a team with a rookie QB. That would have taken reps from our young guys with a 1 year rental that had said he didn't want to be here. If he was only here for the $$$, that could end up causing issues for our QB. A lot of potential issues were flying around him. 

If we had been able to work out a deal for a few years, things might have been different and we'd be in much better shape than we are now. 

I wanted Hopkins and thought he would have been great for BY as long as he genuinely wanted to be here. We wasted money on Chark. I don't know who seriously expected him to play half the season if even that much.
