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.

    • Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out.

    • I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
