If we sign a FA WR

and AE is not activated will you consider his selection a complete failure? With Mike Williams and Geno Atkins on the board when we traded up I certainly would.
it depends on if they weren't planning on him being a factor until next year anyway.

i don't think you can really judge players, esp. WRs and QBs, on their rookie year.

it takes most WRs a few years to be NFL ready.

Edwards wasn't drafted to be starting WR in 2010.

but with what we gave up he was expected to contribute

you dont give up a 2nd rounder for a player that you expect to deactivate most of the season

there are plenty of WRs who were drafted after him who are getting plenty of clock, yet AE hasnt seen a snap yet. nobody expects him to be a starter but with what we gave up, we expect him to be out there making catches

Considering the pick isn't technically used until next year, I believe you have to at least give it until the end of said year to make a judgement.

The real question is, did we really need another "Panthro hates on AE" thread?

We have 2 Wide Receivers out. If we don't activate him and he sees the field then he was a garbage selection and the FO now believes it too.

Name a WR we have selected under Fox that panned out?

      Boy the flyers look good early. Lots of bad plays and slow start by our team. Hope that changes before the score changes.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      I guess I should have stipulated outside the sacred cow.   I complained from year one that Bryce should compete for and win the starting job on his own merit but no he was just handed it. I have been right there with everyone that wants competition.  But I don’t really have a huge problem with it for this season the way it has gone because where are the viable people we don’t have to trade for? I actually am okay with tiny hands Pickett because he is so close to Bryce arm strength wise and to be honest, skill wise. Probably. And it is only a one year deal.  That also takes into account that the QB class is looking stacked next year and if Young fails miserably then we get either a reset or a real competition and there will be more guys that I would like looking at in the FA QB class next year as well.    I sort of accept where we are this year and look at it as another treading water year (at QB). I just want to get to next year with some clarity. More than anything. And they did empty out the room (behind him anyway). Again, who was really there for us?  And I know it would not be a true competition at this point anyway. They are giving him the year, like it or not.    Also I don’t give a poo about winning games IF he sucks and or goes down after sucking because draft position and that stacked QB class.  And I want out from under him So Bad.     So I guess it is several factors that lessen my anxiety over his backup this particular season.    I am not trying to convince anyone, but you asked. That’s how I look at it.
