Has there ever been a negative report from OTAs like even with how terrible Clausen and Wienke were I cant remember ever reading an article stating they sucked at OTAs I just remember nothing but hype around them.  

No, but I was at an OTA  and I heard Fox make a smart comment to another coach about Clausen, and then Armanti Edwards after he dropped a Jugs punt.   He was bitter--it was his lame duck year and he was not involved in the draft--that is the draft Hurney went solo--tried to trade up from about 47 to 33 with the Rams to get Clausen--offering a future first, according to the Rams GM later.  Then the Colts bragged that they bluffed MH into thinking they wanted Armanti Edwards, which caused him to trade up into the third for a seventh round graded player.   Those were darker times than these. 

But I am sure the press was comparing Clausen to Montana and Edwards was going to be the best slot WR in 2 years.

Do we know he wants to sell them?

Are we really going to vilify a working class PSL holder to justify a billionaire who highly values his concert money raising ticket prices?

He said he wanted to sell them, twice.

He's saddled with his psls and moved away, which is a tough spot for sure. As a PSL owner who doesnt look to sell his cowboys tickets for $500 a pop and goes and sits with the other teams fans everyweek, I personally have no problem with the CP org making tickets more expensive for games which our fans typically sell to the opposing team.

And no one is being “vilified”

Tone can be hard sometimes on the internet but this channel assumes everything this an argument/personal affront too often.  We were just talking.

By the way im not vilifying you or trying to make an attack on you right now, Im just trying to clarify a point.

Throw the ball in his area consistently, 50/50 jump balls should be our early go to move with him. Bryce should be way more willing to just let it fly if him and the defender are even put some arch on it and let it rip is what I'm hoping for.

I think he is very raw.  When he gets it together, and he will sometime soon, watch out.

You still need good accuracy and ball placement to take advantage of good jump ball WR.

I definitely don't think you need good ball placement and  good accuracy not saying his doesn't need to dramatically improve but I thought the reason you pick a XL is because he has a very broad catch radius. I'm thinking 25 yards down the field one on one coverage throw it up and expect XL to come down with it, a little arch and touch to give him a chance to out jump the DB should do the trick not as much as ball placement imo as of right now.  Maybe when throwing to DJ with tight coverage slants come back routes and things of that nature requires the accuracy and ball placement but what I'm thinking of takes away from having to be as accurate get it to him jump ball situations gives him a chance to Moss the defender consistently.

I agree with that I was only thinking before he gets it all together his go-to play at this point of his early career should be (I hope) winning jump ball situations consistently until he develops a more diverse skillset or puts it all together and really gets busy.

I don't equate being a great jump ball catcher to being a bad pass catcher/fixer.  I mean, to take advantage of a great jump ball catcher...accuracy and ball placement still matter.   They generally can be covered and the decision to go there still be good.  Where as you would look away for some one else.   Which means you are accurately putting it in a place where the guy can go up and get it over his opponent.  

I mean, sure XL can help you a little bit and save you from time to time.  But if you are playing that jump ball game you still got to put it in the right spot the majority of the time to give him the shot.
