as to Hogan, the worst possible thing we could do right now is rush him back...

He is going to be desperate to play, just force him to sit and learn this week Ease him back in to special teams after that, if he is doing well and feels fine after special teams vs Minnesota, then give him some time with the defense after the bye.

He's been sitting and learning since August, that's what they do when they're injured. They don't just go home and play nintendo.

I don't think he should play, but just to make sure he's healthy. 1 more week of learning doesn't mean much.

Sit during the game, learn in practice. Perhaps I should have been more clear.

It is with Hogan as it is with Fua, McClain etc... With those stupid CBA rules that says only one padded practice, the young guns gets more NFL "training" on sundays than through the week.

It isn't really with Hogan as it is with Fua, McClain, etc... Those guys actually had practice in the preseason and have been able to practice every week so far this year. Yes, the practices are limited, but drills and limited practice > being unable to practice at all as far as readiness to play the game goes.

With the whole "building for the future" mentality of starting these young guys, we don't need Hogan to contribute this Sunday, but for years to come. I have trouble seeing how a guy with one week of practice, even if he has been absorbing through the entire year, could really make such a huge immediate difference that it is worth the risk of playing him this week.

Then again, I am known for being a bit too cautious I think. :P

      So... what metrics for production do you believe display these issues/limitations best? Are we only using total passing yards, height, and weight thresholds? If so, then what are those thresholds?

      I mean as far as his size goes it's all over his tape bouncing up and down on his toes in and around the pocket trying to see the field and defenses know this as well as we do but if folks here want to live in never never land and pretend it's not a thing that's their prerogative. Even our head coach has made it a key focal point to get his footwork under control. But it's still something Bryce is going to be tested on early and often no matter how many keystrokes anyone here commits to the narrative it isn't an issue.

      It speaks volumes that when asked to define a clear performance threshold the responses instead fixate on Bryce's size. It reinforces what’s been clear for a while now... that for some, it has never been nor will it ever be about production. Any struggles will always be chalked up to his frame, and any strong play will be downplayed or disqualified via highly mobile goalposts.
