Fair Question: Shockey, Extension?

After 4 weeks into the season, part of me is wondering why this guy didn't get a "C" on his jersey. I was always a fan of his game dating back to Miami, and I knew if he could stay healthy he still has a lot in the tank. When you look at a guy like Tony Gonzalez, I think Shockey could see similar success in terms of producing into their mid-late 30s (not that Shockey has Gonzalez numbers, just speaking in terms of still producing).

After the fire he's shown through the first 4 games, the production he's had, his candidness in interviews, his trash talk to opponents, and his willingness to demand more from his teammates, I'm really hoping Hurney considers locking him up for at least 3 or more years.

I knew I'd like the addition when we signed him, but I've been even more impressed than I had expected to this point and I feel like his presence is important on this young team and he complements Olsen and Smitty well.

I'm sure there's the possibility that he won't get a lot of money thrown his way on the open market if we let him play out his 1-year deal and we could sign him back anyway... but I think he deserves the gesture and security that comes with it. I really like what he's done so far.

      It's also worth noting that Cam himself said that he felt safer when running vs. sitting in the pocket because he could see the contact coming and prepare for it. A QB running the ball doesn't have to be a sledgehammer. He just has to be effective.

      That Falcons game is about as good as it gets. Especially on the road. I know the Falcons defense was bad but he was cooking with Coker, an undrafted rookie get the bulk of the receptions. If your QB has 5 TDs and 0 turnovers he is playing like a top QB, yardage be damned. The big question for me is how consistently can be play the whole season?  I don’t expect a game like that every week, but I also don’t want to see any performances like the pre benching or that Cowboys game (which was bad post benching). Bryce’s best shot at being the guy is becoming a mini-Burrow who is about as consistent as you can get at the QB position.  The good news is this QB class should be a fun one. So hopefully Bryce becomes the guy, if not it’s a nice class to let DC pick his QB and they should come into a great situation with a good OL, RB, young talented WRs etc…

      Bryce Young is far less risky with his body when he runs than Richardson and doesn’t take many unnecessary big hits. Was much more worried about injury when he had that abysmal OL his rookie season than I ever would be when he runs/scrambles. 500/10 seems like a fairly reasonable prediction considering he had 250/6 in 12 starts last season. Of course literally anybody CAN get hurt, it’s just that we were assured by many huddlers that it was a sure thing with Bryce Young that he wouldn’t make it to this point in his career without significant injuries.
