With Jarrett going we have spot to fill

For the love of humanity, do not bring Kenny Moore in! Don't replace one bad WR with another one.

This team needs one thing. A vet WR not named Steve Smith to help this young talent and Clausen. Make the right move!!!

You know they will not bring in a vet.

I would be willing to bet they don't cut Jarrett. I just have that feeling. They haven't cut him yet, they aren't playing him (much) anyway, throw away season? Yea they will deactivate him the rest of the season and let him rot on the bench, just like they have been doing.

they don't even need to bring in a good vet. just someone who was good and wants to help a team. those guys exist. the one flaw w/ the youth movement, is they don't have those few vets scattered around to aid them.

Steve Smith is just a dick. He ain't the vet we need to help Gettis, LaFell, and Armanti.

I completely agree with you, I just don't think they will do it.

I really don't see the difference between having Moose and DJ on the team.

DJ cant get separation and Moose probably cant either. Atleast Moose can be a leader and a teacher. Moose can block. He can have a calming presence. He knows the offense.

Atleast bring him in for a workout and see if he is in shape to handle it.

Didn't Moose tell someone a month or so ago he hasn't worked out all summer? I know the guy was always in shape, but I don't see how he could go to flab to fab in time to really help us. Seems like we could use some sort of WR assistant coach or something though.

You really expect some guy to be signed a month into the season and come into a group of already established players, take the reigns and be everyones pop-pop? Smith already said these guys acted like they didn't need help at first

yes, when the established players are 3 rookie WRs.

Look at what Vinny T did in 07. Vinny didn't do poo on the field....but he helped this team. On offense there is no vet depth to help anyone. You have to sprinkle that in w/ a youth movement.

and people need to quit taking every smart comment from Smith as gold. Smith is a dick. Armanti has been learning the WR position from rookies and Jarrett.....not Smith.

    • For starters, and again I am not sure what his capacity is in the media or how connected he is to the team, but I posted above Al Wallace says he is "absolutely" getting 50+ a year and he deserves it.  I obviously strongly disagree with it but it feels like like season when the team is slow leaking info to gauge the temp.   Secondly nobody on Gods green earth is going to sign an extension making less than he is making now.  Thats just crazy talk.  
    • No. Physical tools alone aren't enough. There are plenty of examples of draft busts to support that. Aost all of them had the physical tools and that wasn't enough. But Bryce is a perfect example of the opposite. Absolutely elite intangibles aren't enough either. If you simply don't have the physical abilities all the football intelligence and work ethic in the world won't be enough to overcome it. Just look to the sidelines every Sunday. We call those people "coaches".
    • As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it.
