Pike’s role shrinks, not optimism

I would hate to lose him if he is cut

There’s no guarantee he’ll even play Saturday night against the New York Jets, after getting one series and a quick hook in the opener against Baltimore. Even his practice repetitions are extremely limited, but Pike was upbeat about the few chances he does have.

Wrote about Pike in this morning's paper(s). There was a time when they were thinking about keeping 4 QBs. That time has passed.

That would be retarded. The guy has huge potential and I imagine some sort of value. We have a need at WR... I prefer to keep him as the 3rd and let Cantwell go or try to put him back on the PS. Pike will not make it to the PS, if we're gonna let him go we need to get something back for him.

Here's an idea though... Could we have been giving Cantwell the bulk of the garbage time last week b/c they're deciding whether they should cut him instead of Pike? Kind of like, 'is he really what we think he is?' If not, let him go.

Cantwell's upside is greater than Pikes. Pike has a little girl arm.

I thought that was a BS move, and Pike should have gotten more PT time against the Ravens. He throw a nice ball, and the WR flat out dropped it. After 1 series, Hunter Cant-do-well comes back in. Give Pike a freakin chance, he's pretty darn accurate.

Everyone is going to be shocked when we sneak him on the PS. We are limiting him for that very reason. No team in there right mind would grab him if there is no tape on him and the only time he played he got yanked.

Its possible we could.But do you think he we be there all year without some team signing him??

A team would grap him based on the potential he has down the road.he has to better than Jordan Palmer with the bengals.lol

worst pick ever good job hurney this was f**king genius.

Surefire Gems or super steal:

Kalil, Beason, Stewart, Williams, Hardy, Otah, Gamble, Peppers, Witherspoon (letting him go was indeed stupid), Gross , Wharton, Geoff Hangartner, Jeff King, Bernadeau(7th rounder starting), & Clausen (super super bargin price and steal)

3rd round or higher surefire bust (cause anything lower than 3 is unhopeful anyways):

Shelton, Keary Colbert, & Evan Mathis

Now go eat a **** sandwich or something.

you can spew all of your stats you want but you can't deny tony pike was a waste of a draft pick. i have thought about the pick for a while now and I still have zero grasp on why he chose him, it makes no sense.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.
