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?

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By outlaw4 · Posted

      First off, my memory is faulty and so I should remember you. Anyways, welcome back. Having been around here since 2004/2005, I do have to say all these hot takes are not necessary new. I still very much remember all the constant complaints about Jake Delhomme. How he was too inaccurate, fumbled the ball too often, threw bad interceptions, and how Steve Smith deserved a better QB. How this franchise needed to replace Jake for someone better because he dragged everyone down. We even had names for Jake defenders; Blind Delhomme Jock Sniffers (BDJS). That one thread about Chris Weinke over Jake Delhomme because Weinke threw for 423 Yards but only scoring 13 points remains the worst hot takes I've ever seen around here. So to me, it feels like history repeating itself again and I don't feel like getting that much involved in flame wars like I used to. I am more of a sit back and see what the players/team does type of person. And even then, yes, there are so many moving parts that it's not as easy to pinpoint the core issues, especially when you're not inside the building and know every single detail.  And yes, I think even way back then, I hated how overvalued the QB position was and it hasn't gotten much better. It's to where my philosophy has shifted to where if you can't win a SB with a QB on their rookie contract, you might as well get another one. Otherwise, you have to give that QB so much money that the rest of the roster suffers and your window becomes quite narrow.  That's why I'm skeptical that Mahomes/Burrow/Jackson/Allen will win more than one or two SB's between them. None of them look as invisible as they did a few years ago and that's because their targets are much inferior and/or they are getting more roughed up behind a worse O-line.
