I hope Otah doesn't turn out to be the Dan Morgan of the O-Line. He's been injured a lot this year.

I don't think he will, he's had nothing major, and nothing core wise. I'd be more concerned if it was the same ankle that bothered him last year but so far it's been the other ankle and a toe. With an offseason of conditioning hopefully the ankles will shore up, and a toe is kinda a freaky ding for a lineman.

to play devil's advocate.... Morgan started off with "sports hernia" and then things started to slide year after year

Vincent missed most of two years with a groin injury on the other side that was the reason for him being available when the Panthers got him. He said that it takes two full years to recover from that type of injury and surgery. That might explain why Hartwig played so bad last year but is having a good season with the Steelers. Having done it before Vincent probably knew he was finished for the year. I hope he is able to play next year.

Goings have never subbed in at FB, his contributions on ST are minor, and if he has to play RB then we've pretty much failed anyway.

What?

Goings is a fullback/3rd down back/emergency tailback/kick returner. They haven't needed him there this year but all the same that's his role, he's performed well in both backfield positions in the past. We may have failed if he's lined up at running back but it's better than the alternative which is nobody.

Hopefully it doesn't come down to it but I and apparently the staff like the insurance he brings as a multiple position backup that plays special teams.

      Greg Cosell: Bryce Young is a complimentary piece

      By amcoolio · Posted

      I hope not. 3rd-5th round QB's are historically awful. Most of the time that team is just drafting another QB in the first the following year. Look at the Saints, if they continue to suck this year they are just taking a QB. And if they do they just threw away a 2nd round pick that they just drafted. We did the same poo with Clausen, Greer, Pike, that guy we drafted a few years ago who is so irrelevant I forgot his name...  Just take a 1st round QB if Bryce isn't the answer and be prepared to live with it

      This reminds me on Madden where you create an alternate uniform and the pre-recorded voice overs talk about how hideous your uniform looks. 🤣

      Trade for a QB?

      By amcoolio · Posted

      There are people on this forum that just want to see a lot of passing yards....number go up. That's all it is, really. They are thirsting for a 350-400 yard game. The idea that Jameis Winston is going to come in and play like a star and lead us to wins is ludacris. He's the 3rd fuging string for a 2-5 team and has played horrible for years now. Sure, passing numbers will go up but you'll also get a lot of dumb plays, pick 6's, and incompletions en route to a frustrating bad offensive performance, just in a different way. I think these people are yearning for another Delhomme situation, and the odds of that happening are very very slim. It's way more likely Howell or Jameis comes in and looks like Jack Plummer or Andy Dalton did in the preseason. There just isn't that much good quarterbacking in this league right now. And if we draft another QB in the first round, there is a good chance they bust. It's not a guaranteed carrot. The reality is, as mediocre as Bryce has been, the risk of bringing someone else in in-season and releasing Bryce becuase you aren't happy with his current performance is staggeringly high. Don't want to re-up his contract and search for a solution in the offseason? Sure, I'm on board. Bryce hasn't been good enough to warrant a second contract. But It is very. very unlikely that bringing someone else in midseason is going to give this team more wins.
