Is Pilares our best option as kick returner?

There was a kid from Tulsa a couple of years ago who led the nation all-time in all purpose yards. We should bring him in if he is out of jail. Kid got his girlfriend to ring up like a $1000 worth of merch for like $20. Its not a violent crime so I would take him as an undrafted free agent.

Yes lets have Goodson return KOs. All he does is run straight into piles. But hey, he is fast!

i don't think anyone is advocating for goodson to return kicks.

we don't have to limit ourselves to one or the other. go out and get someone. i swear, people on here can be so shortsighted sometimes.

Who would you suggest picking up? Great kickoff guys don't grow on trees.

That's it.

Truly great returners are very rare, and usually such gifted athletes are better used at other positions. Take Steve Smith, for example. Sure, he was a great returner early on, but it would be foolish to relegate him just to return duty.

We could go out and grab players with experience in returning, and then they could be no better than our current options. Pilares and Hogan both had experience returning in college, right? I personally think Pilares has shown enough to at least have a shot at the job.

Like others have said, the special teams unit as a whole isn't really doing their part to open holes for these returners in the first place. Don't you think there's a reason that you see little difference, no matter who is back there?

If we can upgrade, that's all well and good -- but really good returners don't grow on trees.

      Greg Cosell: Bryce Young is a complimentary piece

      By amcoolio · Posted

      I hope not. 3rd-5th round QB's are historically awful. Most of the time that team is just drafting another QB in the first the following year. Look at the Saints, if they continue to suck this year they are just taking a QB. And if they do they just threw away a 2nd round pick that they just drafted. We did the same poo with Clausen, Greer, Pike, that guy we drafted a few years ago who is so irrelevant I forgot his name...  Just take a 1st round QB if Bryce isn't the answer and be prepared to live with it

      This reminds me on Madden where you create an alternate uniform and the pre-recorded voice overs talk about how hideous your uniform looks. 🤣

      Trade for a QB?

      By amcoolio · Posted

      There are people on this forum that just want to see a lot of passing yards....number go up. That's all it is, really. They are thirsting for a 350-400 yard game. The idea that Jameis Winston is going to come in and play like a star and lead us to wins is ludacris. He's the 3rd fuging string for a 2-5 team and has played horrible for years now. Sure, passing numbers will go up but you'll also get a lot of dumb plays, pick 6's, and incompletions en route to a frustrating bad offensive performance, just in a different way. I think these people are yearning for another Delhomme situation, and the odds of that happening are very very slim. It's way more likely Howell or Jameis comes in and looks like Jack Plummer or Andy Dalton did in the preseason. There just isn't that much good quarterbacking in this league right now. And if we draft another QB in the first round, there is a good chance they bust. It's not a guaranteed carrot. The reality is, as mediocre as Bryce has been, the risk of bringing someone else in in-season and releasing Bryce becuase you aren't happy with his current performance is staggeringly high. Don't want to re-up his contract and search for a solution in the offseason? Sure, I'm on board. Bryce hasn't been good enough to warrant a second contract. But It is very. very unlikely that bringing someone else in midseason is going to give this team more wins.
