Shouldn't They Try Some new WRs? 🤔

I'm getting sick and tired of seeing Mingo Chark and TMJ underperform. Why not give ISM and some other some chances? They're 1-8 what would they have to lose? Do they just not care?

Is there just no point given Bryce /o line can't do well enough to get the ball to them?

They are just going through the motions at this point. The white flag was waved furiously a while back. Maybe they try for a 65 yard field goal versus Dallas?

I warned people all off-season about our lack of talent at WR.

 

People kept talking about TMJ potential. The guy has shown nothing his entire career. Mingo is a unproven rookie.

 

The fact that Thielen is our best WR shows you just how bad we are at that position. I don't think Bryce is a superstar talent, but we have to get the guy something to work with on offense.

 

I like that Fitt tried to get Higgins and Adams at the trade deadline. At least they recognize we need a #1 WR. Also I'm thinking Tee Higgins will be out #1 priority in FA this off-season.

Strachan had a big 45 yard gain and one other target and I don't think he saw the field after that much.

 

There's also Smith-Marsette who has the athletic ability and speed but idk about his route running...because we haven't played him on offense.

 

We have a staff full of incompetence. Those two should be seeing the field regularly. Chark should get moved for some depth somewhere as he is useless.

Im going to give you credit where its due. You wanted Hopkins and some other top tier free agent WR's and I was one of the people who said we didnt need them but I was wrong and you were right so pie for you.

I want us to either trade for Aiyuk or sign Hollywood Brown this offseason. If we can sign Hollywood we should also draft a weapon early. Hollywood, AT, Tez (or another rookie), plus 2nd year Mingo is s solid group for Young to work with. Mingo can become our slot when AT is done.

The lack of YAC guys is what’s probably the most infuriating thing that mostly everyone could see going into the year.

We have 2 guys that have some YAC ability in Chark and Shenault and it’s like we refuse to even scheme them open. I mean, let’s run some simple concepts to get them space, shallow cross them for Bryce. Serve them something in the move.

Otherwise, I mean, what’s Shi Smith up to? Still on TEN’s PS? Might as well scan the FAs right now and see if there’s better options for Bryce.

I would keep putting Mingo out there since he is a rookie who needs this valuable playing time to see if he can develop into something. The rest of them besides AT, who really cares.

TMJ, I would just flat out cut his ass since he just doesn't seem to care or be motivated. He wants a trade but nobody wants to trade anything for him other than a stale bag of Takis. 

Chark, if you plan accordingly for him that he will play half the games each season maybe you can get some production out of him on another team that actually has competent coaching and a QB who isn't scared to push the ball down the field and actually has time to throw the ball with even a half way marginal line to block.

Shenault, I really like him and want it to work with him here but we can't seem to find ways to get him the ball as a gadget player. He does not seem like a WR who is someone that you can count on to expertly track a deep pass and take it all the way but he seems like he can be hell to deal with on shorter routes in some space. I would keep him around another year IF we could get ourselves coaches who are worth a poo and either Bryce gets over being a sub par QB or we get a QB who has the physical skills and mindset to QB and NFL team sort of like Stroud seems to have naturally.

I would say TMJ should be replaced immediately with anyone willing to work hard and show a little heart, Mingo keep.olayimg since it's a throw away year and see if he can develop into a consistent good WR, Shenault, keep if we plan to fire all our scrub ass coaches and get real coaches otherwise let him go find a real NFL team that actually wants to win to see if he can develop, AT is just fine keep him, and I don't even know who else we have.....

Remember how Thielen would provide veteran leadership in the WR room and elevate those around him?

Dude has been way too busy carrying the room to do any coaching.

    • Completely agreed.  TBH, we have had so many great players that are in my favorite list, and I hate to narrow it down to one, but Cam is it.  Which is crazy, because you would think it would be more of the guys I grew up watching, but no.  Cam was the single most impactful player to ever out on a football uniform imo.  And like I said in an earlier post, I always felt a kinship with him in a lot of ways…  the way he was treated and judged for the off the field stuff in Florida and having to overcome all of that and fight show at back.  And although I am not a black man, I have always been welcomed by and accepted more by minorities, and thus, I know what it’s like to be judged by appearances rather than the content of your character and who you actually are.  I know what it’s like to be stereotyped and written off or mistreated for your mistakes.  I know what it’s like to be held to a different standard while your peers don’t have to meet that same standard.  So I always related to that.  And the way he came in and just electrified the whole franchise, man…  I still think about it often how much it sucks that because of how talented he was, our staff out so much on him and that ultimately cut his career short.  You’re right, there will never be another Cam…  I think Josh Allen is the closest thing we will see for a long time, but Allen is not the running threat Cam was.  Cam could run you over or around you.  That was THE absolute funnest time to watch our team ever.
    • It definitely needs more specificity than is baked in now. 
    • The weirdest encounter I had with a pro athlete was waiting in line at security at Mile High Stadium when I used to get the company suite tickets almost every week because I was the only employee based in Colorado. There's a small checkpoint accessing the suites that virtually no one knows about that you can usually squirt right through. I was standing there and looked over my shoulder and there stands John fuging Elway waiting in line behind me.  This was during the The Golden Calf of Bristol season right before he became GM. I just said "They make YOU go through security?" He's like "Yeah, ain't that a bitch. I literally have a statue out front and I gotta go through security like everybody else." I've heard mixed things about him but he was super nice and down to earth with me that day.
