Signing anyone of the old receivers, Hines Ward, TO, or Randy Moss stunts the growth of Brandon LaFell and David Gettis by not allowing them full play-time. So... Hell no.

I disagree.Football is about competetion and match ups.LeFell will still get his playing time if he deserves it.Differant receivers bring differant skill sets that the situation on the field dictates.Look at the differance in Randy Moss and Hines Ward.Ward picks up those tough 3rd down yards while in his prime Moss streched the field.My knock on LeFell is consistant route running and seperation.I am not advocating picking up Moss just pointing out an example.

If your knock on him is consistency, then let him get more play time to gain consistency. Not add a diva to the locker-room who won't help him (or Cam) in any way.

David Gettis has the same skillset that Moss had his entire career. Run really fast past the corner, 40 yards downfield, heave the ball, endzone, touchdown. It's the same play, over and over. We already have one of those, without the negative attitude.

I am not advocating we get Moss.I would not let him play for free.My point is differant wrs bring differant skill sets as you pointed out regarding Gettis.I think we could upgrade our wr corp and I think you will see it in FA or the draft without tinkering with LaFells developement.If Hines Ward like Shockey still has some game left I think he could help get those tough yards if you could get him cheap.

      Big opportunity for Nadeau if he gets called up.

      The Case for(or Against) Drafting/Signing a TE

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      I think OL is a pretty low overall concern but every single offseason there should be an attempt to upgrade through the draft. Edge rusher there are no easy answers, IMO. If a truly elite prospect falls to us in the 1st, that is fine. This draft seems to be much more heavy on 3-4 DE's or 4-3 DE's than it is on elite EDGE guys. You just have to keep plugging away every offseason and hope it works out. I don't think it's worth trading a ton of draft capital over at the moment, despite being a crucial roster weakness. Do the best you can and build a better roster and maybe eventually we will be in a position to be making a Parsons level trade.

      The Case for(or Against) Drafting/Signing a TE

      I understand that a capable OC is desirable but I also understand, or think I might, the dynamics with the staff and maybe I’m wrong but I do not see Canales firing his offensive right hand guy without significant pressure from Morgan or Tepper to do so.  So that, in addition to Canales stating pretty definitively, that he was keeping play calling.     I don’t know what you do in that circumstance. It would need to be important enough to you to make it worth firing Canales to get your OC play caller.    To that, if Canales not being good so far at play calling (and we only have the one year in TB to factor with what we have see here), is accepted as a given, it is only fair and honest to consider what an impediment having to construct and administer an offense around Bryce Young’s game would be to an OC. I would say it is a big complication, big surprise there.  You won’t know about Canales 100% until you remove Bryce from the equation and get him a clean slate to create from - without the Bryce restrictions.  And yeah you will likely end up without a top notch high flying offense. But it still *could* be much better than it is now. In the right hands.  So that is potentially what we’re looking at. I suppose we could keep Bryce and bring in a college style coach and design a Bryce rollout offense or something and see if that helped. I am not in favor of that, probably the last thing I would want.  We could do nothing, which I am not in favor of. We could fire Canales and keep Bryce (my least preferred option). We could get rid of both, which I would begrudgingly accept but would lament the interruption of the continuity that a 3rd year would provide.  You could get rid of Bryce and get a couple of new QB prospects in here, vets, drafts, whatever… that would be my choice.  I am afraid I know how it’s gonna go. All I can really say about that is, there has not been a single time in three years that I looked at the upcoming game and felt like we were gonna win because we have Bryce Young playing QB. Because of what he could do with the ball in his hands. Not once. Sure there have been a handful of games that he was part of the reason we won, a couple he was a big part, but not enough times to feel like that is my expectation. At best, it is cross your fingers and hope for good Bryce.
