if what everyone is saying is, in fact, true:

Legedu Naanee (pronounced LEG-a-doo Nah-NAY) seems like the lock to be the #2 WR.. then there is an obvious conversation that has not been and NEEDS to be had here on the Huddle....

OMFG what super awesome nickname can we come up with!?!?!?!??!?!!?????!!!!

GO... Go Forth!!!!!!!

If Legedu is the #2 receiver it's because Gettis' injury keeps him out of the preseason or because Gettis hasn't fully learned the playbook. Gettis is too big of a play maker with his size and elite speed to get passed by Naanee. Naanee is a nice reliable receiver but he doesn't have the play making ability that Gettis does...

This is very correct. Assuming Gettis is fine, Naanee would be the red zone #2 and Gettis would be the rest of the field #2. Gettis' speed really makes the DBs play soft, something they would not do in the red zone. However, Gettis is 6'3" as well, so you could see three WR sets + Olsen + Shockey (empty backfield) on third and long inside the 20. How do you blitz that?

      It's not even a particularly nuanced opinion, yet it seems out of reach for so many.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By strato · Posted

      I don’t think he can be great. For me he tops out as starter maybe make the playoffs, stuff like that. I would have been okay with that kind of player as a placeholder but you don’t invest the time and assets we did and be happy with that.  On the cure,If a guy has mechanical flaws but otherwise is enticing, you let someone else make the mistake of taking him in the top of the 1st. If he doesn’t get taken you can pick him up 2nd or 3rd day and try to develop him (off the bench not starting).  The risk/reward with Bryce was horribly misjudged. I didn’t want to trade like that in the first place because I didn’t see the generation talent that justifies that type of move, but once it was done CJ was the better gamble. No doubt.

      That's what I mean. If you claim to possess some super knowledge about the QB position from a previous non-football but football related job, wouldn't you want to expound upon that to support this "everyone doesn't know anything about being a QB" thesis? The rest is just summed up by stating that there are a lot of variables to a QB being successful. Yeah....I mean that isn't earth shattering.  While there is certainly a lot of luck involved in all manners of success, consistent success with the variables around you also changing on a regular basis is usually fairly conclusive.  Is Trent Dilfer the same as Tom Brady? Is Nick Foles the same as Patrick Mahomes? I supposed based on the OP's arguments, they are. That's not really the way it turned out, however.  The NFL isn't unlike most other jobs or even other sports. The cream typically does rise to the top on a more consistent basis. Is it accidental that premier poker players seem to win or perform very well on a consistent basis, give that any individual hand is largely luck?
