We had "Hoov" but it is hard to pronounce FIAMETTA when you are excited or when the crowd wants to salute him by chanting his name. I am going to stick my neck out, exposing it to those who criticize instead of contribute, and suggest that we take his name from Jaws' description on Thursday night when he used the word "Slobberknocker" to describe Fiametta's block. I like "Slob" and I like "Slobber" for short. Easier to say than Fiametta, and that is my point. Don't laugh, if you are at a game and he scores a TD or puts a LB into the third row, you will wish that you planned ahead when you scream "Fiametta".

This board has the power to make this official. I am but one voice, but together, we can change things.

Sorry. Stole that part from a Clinton speech. Be nice.

      Dude... you're just all over the place. You're the one who said T-Mac is better right now than Chark was at his best.

      When I say "average NFL WR", for me, that's comparing him to all WRs in the league during that season/span of time.  He was of course better than those #4-6 WR's that can't even get on the field, but talent/ability wise, he probably wasn't any better than a #3 WR for most NFL teams, he just happened to be on one of the teams in 2019 with even worse WR's so he put up solid stats for the season. Here's more or less how I'm looking at it. Take T-Mac right now and Chark at his best, put them on every NFL team at this very moment, and where would they fall on the depth chart come Week 1 (basically, the teams that don't put the rookies at #1 to "make them earn it in camp" don't count, it's projecting week 1 depth charts). T-Mac would be at worst the #2 WR on the majority of teams this season, (hell, he's likely our #1 at this very moment right now already), peak Chark would not.  Yes, T-Mac still has to prove himself at this level, but his current ability, even as a rookie who hasn't played a snap yet, would have him above Chark on any team's week 1 depth chart. Because again, you can't just fall back on "well Chark had a 1,000 yard season" and use that as the reason for having him above T-Mac.  As he didn't have that 1k yards because he was a beast, it was because he was the only halfway decent receiving option on a bad team that was always losing and passing the ball (the Jags had the 7th worst scoring differential that season).

      We clearly need to add a veteran stopgap at safety one way or the other.
