Interesting article on Pilares

My computer has been down and today was the first day that I have been able to look at information on the players we drafted I found a very interesting article on Kealoha Pilares that was wrote before the draft.

Here is the Article

It pretty much says that he is the biggest WR steal of the draft and compares him to Harvin and Garcon using some formulas that they have used to determine how good players are.

I think this guy could end up being Steve Smiths replacement.

Already said he was my "surprise player" for the 2011 season. I'm very happy (but was extremely shocked when we drafted him-never heard of him, so I won't pretend like I know him). But after all the articles basically refuting the lack of effort put into scouting reports by the "experts" where they state his injury risk, lack of speed, hands etc. Then you have the guys who actually go in depth and post real info, it's become even more encouraging to support him.

I was shocked as well when we drafted him. Considering we just drafted three WRS last year and two of them played very well for the situation they was in. I think AE will be cut with a quickness if Pilares can prove himself. I dont think Pilares has the ability to make a difference in the return game which might be the only reason to keep AE. We have been trying to find a player to replace Steve Smith for a while, it started with Ryne Robinson which injuries ended his career, we drafted AE hoping to covert him into a speedy WR like Smith but the verdict is still out on him, I think eventually we are due to find his replacement and I can see this guy being the one. Maybe Smith will stay a year and we can use him to teach Pilares to become a great WR. If Smith does leave I feel Pilares or Edwards will step up and become his replacement.

I don't see Edwards being cut. Like people have pointed out before, gone are the days where we carry only 3 WRs on the game day roster. I think at least 5 WRs, maybe 6 make our 53 man roster this year.

The oddman out in a situation like that will be guys like Tyrell Sutton. We'll probably carry only 3 RBs on the roster now.

Nah T-Sutt is safe. He is a baller. Remember teams were trying to trade for him last season.

It was a rumor created by the Huddle. I never say any definitive sources.

I sincerely doubt we carry as many RBs as we have in the past.

Sut plays some FB and is a very good runner. He isn't going anywhere.

Plus, I don't think the rumor was started by the Huddle. I seem to recall Gnatt reporting that Green Bay was trying to trade to get him back.

We're not playing "Fox Ball" anymore. We won't be running the ball 75% out of the I formation. So there won't be a need for 5 RBs and 2 FBs.

I bet we'll be running a lot of the single back formation or the shotgun with at least three wide.

      Bryce Young - High Ankle Sprain, out minimum 1 week

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Bryce hasn't done a single thing to prove he deserves to have his option picked up.  I'd have less of an issue with us declining the option and bringing him back as the starter next year than I would have us picking up that option, as that means he's on our cap books for the next 2 years instead of 1, even if he's cut before year 5. Tua threw for 3,500 yards with a 25-8 TD-INT ratio in just 13 starts the year before they picked up his option, and then threw for over 4,600 yards before they gave him his extension. Kyler threw for 3,722, 3,971, and 3,787 in 16, 16, and 14 games (while rushing for 544, 819, and 423 in those seasons) before they picked up his option and then signed him to an extension before year 4. Jones threw for 3,200 yards with a 3-1 TD-INT ratio with another 700 yards and 7 TDs rushing in year 4 before they signed him to his extension. Bryce has thrown for 2,877 and 2,400 yards in 16 and 12 starts his two seasons, while being on pace for 3,128 yards in a 17 game season so far this year. The closest comparison to any of them was Jones, who while he's turned it around this year, is someone I think everyone can agree was not a player who deserved that extension after that season. If people think those other QB's having their options picked up and/or given extensions were a mistake, in what world can you look at what Bryce has done and make any rational argument for him even being brought back as our starter next year, let alone also picking up his option that would cost us about $27 million fully guaranteed.

      Trade for a QB?

      I don't think we would actually play Hooker but hopefully we also just don't see. I don't view Dalton/Bryce as a worse option than Winston/Howell. I just think we disagree on this specific subject is all.

      I guarantee tepper would fire him if we lost out and he’d be justified
