TE should be addressed like the guard position. If you can't draft somebody to fix it need to just pay a top tier FA to come here. Screw it. 

I would rather get middle of the pack OGs in free agency and trade for TEs that are underutilized in their current offense. Paying top money to free agents is a bad strategy IMO.

Top tier TEs usually don't hit the market.  TE play league-wide isn't pretty.  Only 2 TEs have over 250 receiving yards this year and one of them, Dallas Goedert, was just on a bye week.  Behind them is Jake Ferguson at 229 yards, and he's also only played 4 games.

TE is just a hard position to hit on.

This. It's why the Greg Olsen trade was one of the best in franchise history.

Having said that, TE is also not a position you generally see players come right out of college and perform at a high level at. Even guys like Kelce, Kittle, Goedert, etc. took time to become impact players.

The thing about data is that it’s unbiased. He played well in garbage time in minimal stats. Why does that bother you so much? Hmm

But we've already seen this. That was the justification for giving him a free pass in the first half of his rookie season. Those losses that were over by the 4th quarter he put together a few decent drives when the opposing D was playing prevent. We obviously know how the rest of that storyline played out. It is completely understandable that anyone would be highly skeptical of more of that now.

Everything that you said don’t change poo about what that isolated data is telling you.

I'm done expecting projects to be fine. When they are I will celebrate but we have seen a few not make it here. Like I said, I'm happy he is getting the reps he is getting.

I saw something in him during preseason, but that was preseason--I think he has the tools and I assume they will be fine until they prove they aren't.   I get your point, but right now, if we were Chief fans, we'd be saying that about players. Instead, we are waiting for the next bust and injury.

Pretty much. I think his hype got a little out of control but it's a position we have needed an upgrade at for a while now. Like you said a project in the 4th isn't bad like in the first and second.

A 4th rounder in his 4th game.  He is going to be fine.

Just like Ian Thomas.

I can't scream from the mountain tops loud enough, bang my head against the wall long enough or grit my teeth hard enough any longer. 

FIX FUGG'N TE POSITION!!! And no, taking a dude who "dropped" to the 4th round in a sh*t TE class save the top guy, isn't going to do the trick. 

I'll even take a FA at this point. I wonder if the Raiders would swap Young for Mayer straight up?

      XL is a Lost Cause

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      I agree with this and I think it's worth mentioning too that Bryce is not consistent on his placement and especially velocity and that in large part is driven by his footwork. We all know XL doesn't have the best hands and I don't know that he can overcome that. Cam always had the heater that just hit your hands and sank into your grip, where Bryce has some that are harder thrown, some soft. Bryce stepping into a pass looks so much different than that hop throw thing he does. I think XL really needs to hit the jugs machine and start learning how to catch all these different touch passes. TMac and Coker don't have these issues. If XL doesn't get some work in he's going to be out of the league in the next couple of years.

      I think most people like XL from a personal standpoint. I don't think he's stupid either. Although if we are being realistic he is lacking in football IQ at this point in time and it cannot be disputed that he has not taken working on his craft seriously at all times given the body of work on the field. It speaks for itself. I myself have defended him at times given the circumstances of our QB room. But he is now in his third year and 25 years old. We are not in a position as a franchise to go around babying anyone especially first round draft picks. He needs to take his position and his football career seriously or he is going to end up selling used cars somewhere. I hope he realizes this and takes an extended break from social media because that mess certainly isn't going to increase his net worth if he ends up out of the league. And these hanger on types will disappear quick too once that money dries up and it surely will eventually. We'll see how he responds.
