Because we have nobody else. As bad as he is, I'll take him over Chandler Zavala any day.

Granted, but there were other choices.

One of the areas where I've started to question Frank Reich is depth chart decisions. I can't definitively say that there's somebody better than throckmorton on the roster right now, but I am wondering if he's not just getting to start because he's got a little more experience than some others..

So, Frank is Ron 2.0?

So how does this guy stay on the field always? Teppers neighbors kids or something? WTH

Zavala coming off the neck, and Mays hasn't been much better, I dunno why they didn't go after Norwell after he was released, can't be any worse than these guys we've trotted out there.

I'm not sure we do. Cade Mays? A lateral move at best.

That said, there are surely better options we could sign off the street.

I'm not dead certain of that.

Granted, it gets more possible as the season goes on because they have to play fewer games.

    • 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.
