Nah guys, we are FINE at TE.  Dragging dudes off the streets with zero football experience.  Mud, meet wall. Crap, at least find some D-II TE to develop.  Full panic mode now that THE Ian Thomas has left the building.  

The team is too inundated--100% full concentration---on which 'square peg' situational pass rusher we are going to trying to force into a 'round hole' on this team at pick #8.

Morgan: 'Hey, just go find some really tall guy to play TE while we do important work over here on Edge guys.'

Scout: 'How much football background does he need?'

Morgan: 'Who cares? We have all these pass rushers we have to sort through.'

*Some time later*

Scout: 'Hey Dan, I found some dude nearly 7 foot tall playing rec ball down at the YMCA.'

Morgan: 'Cool, how many years did he start at TE in college?'

Scout: 'None, he's never played TE or football...ever--but, but, you said you didn't care about that?'

Morgan: 'Honestly I don't...let's give him a minimum deal; and for crying out loud let me get back to the slew of pass rushers that all have holes in their game!'

There is literally no risk to this move.  They are constantly churning the bottom of the roster.  Bringing them in has no impact on their tight end decisions for this coming season.

No risk and literally no point.  We have tried this before with basketball players who actually HAD a football background as well.  All of them flopped.  At best, training camp and practice squad fodder.

    • He can’t even learn to run routes. No chance in hell he can do both that and pick up blocking schemes 
    • Well he had essentially a 70% completion rate for almost three thousand yards.  Biggest issues were awkward and inconsistent release.  I wouldn't call arm strength bad, but not great.    
    • I see him being better and most of that is a few downfield passes that were seemingly non existent.    But it is what is around him that has dictated the trajectory more than the quarterbacking. He is game manager level and unable to dictate to defenses.  And even if I am wrong and he is the reason we ‘upwarded’, we are bumping our heads on the ceiling and only making meager gains. If it is an incline it is awfully shallow degree wise. Like a finance graph that tracks your progress and hovers around the rate of inflation. Barely breaking even.  Is that where you want your money?  We make up these deadlines expectations and generally he does the minimum of what he needs to do to hang around.    It does not encourage me to believe that when we get into a game against a good run d that we cannot break down with our run game, to believe that we can pivot to the air and successfully counter their strategy.  But they run it back again. Of course I am gunshy of a repeat of the same thing we have watched for three years.    oh, and yes his durability is his most impressive positive for my money. I fear the other shoe dropping on that and the contractual consequences that will follow.   Last  of all, too late to edit my mistake here but would like to acknowledge it: the last three years has done very little to convince me that I was not wrong in not wanting him. One too many “not”s.
