He's played 3 full seasons since then, if he's not fully recovered from the leukemia, then he shouldn't have been playing the last 3 years.

I'll also be honest that I don't think I've seen any of his Jets highlights, but 256 yards in 9 games and 7 starts, doesn't scream showing flashes to me.

For the jets?  I mean, dude might as well be a HOFer for putting up over 10 yards in that dumpster fire behind planned parenthood shitshow of an offense and Qbs they had last year.

And yet, the Jets didn't even tender him a RFA offer.  

Yet another reason I don't love this, if the Jets don't think he's good enough to keep around given their WR needs, then why do we think he is?

I'm curious what this signing means for our wide receiver room as a whole things are getting pretty chaotic someone who was here last year won't be here next year especially if they go into the draft and bring out another wide receiver horn laguette Tremaine and we resign Dave's favorite wide receivers/specialteam player

Should be cheap and probably doesn't take WR off the board as a potential mid to late round pick. He's not here to start. He's here to push for those 3-5/6 spots and push XL and Horn. T-Mac and Coker are the outside starters. Throw bodies onto the field in camp and let them sort it out to fill our the rest of the depth chart.

I get it, but the "trust" is my problem.  Would just rather bring in a better player than someone Bryce trusts.

We need a real #3 in the slot, not players who have been on 3 teams in the last 18 months and none of them wanted to keep him around.

Now... if you tell me that the staff is actually 100% sold on Horn Jr being the clear cut slot starter this year, then maybe I'll feel differently.

As that then pushes XL into the #4 (like I want if he's still here), Moore as the #5 (aka special teamer), and then Metchie is just someone to make Bryce comfortable with in camp and fight out Tremayne for the last possible roster spot that wouldn't get a jersey on game days.

I just doubt that's the case given Horn Jr's usage late in the season, didn't scream "we think he can be our #3 next year"

Bryce trusted AT. It was part of the reason AT had to go. Bryce had to look beyond AT as a 1st read. If Metchie falls into that security blanket role AT used to fill, it's a step back for Bryce. That's not something we need in such a pivotal year, if that were to happen.

If he keeps falling into the trap of tunnel vision then we need a new QB. Build the best roster you can and if the QB isn't properly utilizing it then stop this mess of protecting Bryce from his faults and from competition and being in real NFL QB talent.

Typically I agree with that logic but our FO has not shown logical progression where Bryce is concerned.

I mean AT was clearly the best WR on the team when he was here.

      That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

      By WUnderhill · Posted

      Love the Freeling pick even more after watching his pressers. Dude is sharp and definitely seems to have the right mentality. I loved hearing how personal he took having a bad game with a torn labrum and instead of seeing that as the reason for his bad game and not changing anything, it motivated him to work even harder. Such a great pick, we finally got our all pro level LT for the next decade and now we can move Ickey to RT or guard with no hurt feelings due to his injury. Second favorite pick is probably Brazzell. He said he false started on his 40 and it cost him probably 0.04 seconds, so he’s more of a 4.33 guy rather than 4.37. Really Randy Moss lite. I didn’t know anything about him prior to drafting him and first highlight reel I saw of him I immediately thought he looked like Moss. Then I saw the measurables and was like yep. Then I see that he’s drawn that comparison by many scouts and analysts. If he can add consistency and play to the level of his highlights every play then we got an incredible value.

      Round 1: The Carolina Panthers select OT Monroe Freeling (Georgia)

      By rebelrouser · Posted

      During his three years at UGA he only allowed 5 sacks. He is only 21 and is on an upward trajectory. He's a great athlete that was good basketball player in high-school.  His height (76% how is this only 76%???? these guys are giants now), hands (81%), span (99%), speed (96%), quickness (10 yd. 86%), and explosiveness (vert. 96%, broad 97%) are all outstanding.  When we took Freeling, Fano, Mauioga, Proctor, and Miller were all off the board so we could have drafted Iheanachor or Lomu instead or waited to the second or third round to take Bell, Tiernan or Barber or wait even longer.  A lot of these tackles (including the first two taken) project to right tackle or guard in the NFL and that's not what we needed now.  Freeling has some sloppiness to clean up in his run blocking, but he's young and getting better.  We can let him get experience behind Walker and Moton knowing if he has to replace one of the two this year, his pass blocking won't get Bryce killed. Icky's not coming back from that injury as a nfl starting left tackle and Moton is in the twilight of his career.  If Walker has a great year, we will have to pay him a lot and if he is medicore we would want to let him walk.  Getting a LT on a rookie contract is going to help a lot with the cap.

      It was cool but they have done this at least in recent years unless I am imagining it
