When’s the last time we drafted a natural, effortless, hands catcher?

At the Wide Receiver position. 

Kelvin’s hands were inconsistent. Couldn’t be Funchess. Mingo and Legette appear to be consistent body-catchers that unnecessarily leave their feet too often. It might be past time we reevaluate how we prioritize traits in our receiver scouting. Outside of Adam I don’t think there is a natural catcher of the ball on this roster. Diontae probably the next closest but we did not draft either. DJ had probably the most reliable hands but we shipped him off anyways. Just frustrated watching early round draft picks at receiver drop routine passes is crucial situations.

And this spans ownerships, coaching and GM changes. There really isn’t a common denominator to blame.

Not an atrocious contract either. Very favorable terms.

For some reason I don't expect that would make him happy enough to don the colors. You can kiss that sweet deal goodbye. I don't think he'd want to come back. (except for big money maybe) (and, they could say well that was Fitterer and Reich and they're gone...)

How about Minnesota with Darnold and he keeps his helmet on? They had a pretty good thing. Next season. 

And he is also a Pittsburgh type maybe along the lines of Hines Ward. That gets him out of the division and the conference. This season maybe if he makes demands.

The Darnold thing is the biggest smoke and mirrors show there is. Keep watching and you will see. The tape don't lie.

I actually ike him for Pittsburgh, he likes Fields, and they could stand to help Fields if they are going with him. 

 

(and it doesn't matter what I think about Darnold when I am looking for a possible match, it's on the club that would look at him, thinking who would look at him, that he might be amenable to)

Fields is another one that is unlikely to be much more than a below average starter.

      There is a Grand Canyon-sized chasm between your opinion and the opinions of most former player hockey guys who do this for a living.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      To say that, is gaslighting, because it isn’t true. I mean, maybe one or two people do that but it isn’t the predominant behavior. Even Frank has given him credit. I think particularly the Rams game. A couple of glowing posts.   I know I have. Gotta be honest about it because if you aren’t it undermines what else you say.  But the degree of how far I go with credit, in terms of it being a projection of future performance? Not very far. Acknowledge it, but require more of it. There is a lot of bad play to offset.    I tried to remain passive while the last 9 games (post ankle injury) played out. It is just really hard when the lows won’t go away. I failed. As high as a couple of those highs were, there isn’t enough.    I know it is premature to just say I want to move on, made my decision after 6 of those games ended up pretty much really good or not good enough, but I have had enough of being patient and letting him show the reality either way.  So in my view, he Could still validate himself to a decent degree if he smokes the last three starts. But also in my view I don’t expect to see it. Maybe one more high quality start, would be my expectation. So yes he could still somehow justify having the job next year. If that happened I still wouldn’t have much faith given the last three years and all that has transpired. Again, there is a lot of bad play to offset.
