Sorry bro jmo..

He is Drake London light!

Tmac is big contested catch wr type guy.. 

Not a great athlete not very fast solid route runner good hands.. 
 

We need the WR help but 

1. Is rather have a vet who is ready to go day 1..  All rookies are development guys and we have 2 already on the roster.. You’re setting up a scenario where we drafted 2 1st round WR who will need to be paid around the same time not to mention the undrafted guy who could be better then both of them… 3 Wr needing to be paid on their 2nd contract around the same time is bad team management..

2. If we draft a WR top 5 he has to be more then just “big contested catch guy” .. Sorry I need explosive athlete , Yard after catch , Speed and route runner professional guy.. Aka (Jamar Chase).. If I’m spending a top pick on a player..

3. This not paying Higgins thing is a joke .. Why not ?? He is a proven Number target guy.. Every thing you like about Tmac Higgins already does plus he faster.. And lately every team with a young QB they wanted to develop made a move and paid a top level FA WR.. Again we have the money and we’re not spending a lot at the Wr position.. Paying Higgins helps the team sooner helps BY sooner and fits the timeline better.. When it’s time to pay XL and Coker Higgins is coming off the books.. Instead of using another 1st round pick and having the whole future WR corps having to be paid at the same time..

Again JMO

uh, where to begin

XL will never be the player T-Mac will be, so not taking him because we have XL and would need contracts around the same time would be an asinine reason to not draft a player of T-Mac's potential

You talk about how rookies need time to develop, well rookies on the defensive side of the ball usually take longer to develop than elite WR prospects, so going back to your other post about drafting defense and spending the cap on a WR, it's just backwards for who will be more ready to contribute from day one.

And no, paying Higgins doesn't help Bryce more, as T-Mac is already equally as good as him, if not already better.  And Higgins doesn't have T-Mac's hands, in fact, not many current NFL WR's do, he has vice grips covered in glue for hands.

But more importantly, to your point about Higgins doing everything T-Mac can do but faster... uh, Higgins ran a 4.59, he's not a speedster, I would bet my bottom dollar that T-Mac runs a sub 4.5 40 at the combine.  You seem to think he's just a contested catch guy, but he's not, he is regularly used in the screen and short crossing route game because he is actually really good after the catch.

I again go back to, if these are your opinions of T-Mac, it means you haven't watched enough of him.  

Even if you want defense over WR, that's a much more fair argument, but your comparison of him to Higgins and thinking paying Higgins 30 million a year instead of drafting T-Mac is smarter, just makes no sense (and that's before even factoring in Higgins injury history).

      NFC South is now ACTIVATED

      I will as soon as you withdraw your fandom from the Patriots. Informative threads are great but all of these estrogen and emotion driven threads you start are ridiculous.

      Canes vs Panthers 7pm

      By Anybodyhome · Posted

      Will be there tonight and expect nothing from the Canes. They are soft and won't go after anyone, nor will they respond when, not if, Florida starts bullying them. Not to mention Freddie is in net. I fear this will be an ass-kicking.

      QB School - Bryce Young vs Bucs

      By MasterAwesome · Posted

      Is this not a bit contradictory?  Also surely if any of us are smart enough to evaluate what we're seeing in real time, a former NFL QB can at least manage the same.  Especially considering he's basing his analysis on hours (maybe generous?) of reviewing All-22 footage which he can play back over and over again, focusing each time on different position groups, match-ups, progressions, etc. which is simply impossible for a fan to fully assess in real time.  Unless you're actually at the game, we basically only get the QB/O-line in frame during the broadcast and even in that limited window of the field, there is simply too much happening.  I'm usually broadly focusing on Bryce, maybe peeping the footwork (or lack thereof) and just the overall pocket and whether there is any pressure coming.  I'm not able to watch every individual one-on-one o-line match-up on top of it to see who got beat, who didn't pick up a blitz, which o-lineman didn't shift to help double-team, or whatever else. I think the truth is somewhere in between (as is almost always the case).  Knowing the play call, audible, etc. is pretty important when judging individual performances, which is why we should always take PFF grades with a grain of salt.  But yeah we can also get a pretty good overall sense of how a player is performing just from watching the game on the couch on Sundays.  I still think there's a lot of value in a review video like this.  As long as you have the bare minimum media literacy to take the interesting insights while also acknowledging inherent biases from a video like this (i.e. obviously focusing on the good over the bad).
