I was wondering if there was going to be any Tight ends that were former basket ball players. The reason why I ask was because we could possibly draft a TE and with the emergence of Jimmy Graham, Gates, Gonzo aka Tight Ends who used to be basketball players. I want to know if there are any of those kind of athletic guys in the draft.

If there are none of those kinda guys what about Athletic Tight ends in general? any tight ends look like they could be the next big target for Newton?

too many needs in other areas anyway. resign shockey, barnidge will have another year to prove himself and we still have olsen. worry about this in a year or two

I have a lot of faith in Barnidge, I think this is the right staff for him to have a breakout season that is if he can stay healthy.

      Bryce Young - High Ankle Sprain, out minimum 1 week

      Bryce hasn't done a single thing to prove he deserves to have his option picked up.  I'd have less of an issue with us declining the option and bringing him back as the starter next year than I would have us picking up that option, as that means he's on our cap books for the next 2 years instead of 1, even if he's cut before year 5. Tua threw for 3,500 yards with a 25-8 TD-INT ratio in just 13 starts the year before they picked up his option, and then threw for over 4,600 yards before they gave him his extension. Kyler threw for 3,722, 3,971, and 3,787 in 16, 16, and 14 games (while rushing for 544, 819, and 423 in those seasons) before they picked up his option and then signed him to an extension before year 4. Jones threw for 3,200 yards with a 3-1 TD-INT ratio with another 700 yards and 7 TDs rushing in year 4 before they signed him to his extension. Bryce has thrown for 2,877 and 2,400 yards in 16 and 12 starts his two seasons, while being on pace for 3,128 yards in a 17 game season so far this year. The closest comparison to any of them was Jones, who while he's turned it around this year, is someone I think everyone can agree was not a player who deserved that extension after that season. If people think those other QB's having their options picked up and/or given extensions were a mistake, in what world can you look at what Bryce has done and make any rational argument for him even being brought back as our starter next year, let alone also picking up his option that would cost us about $27 million fully guaranteed.

      Trade for a QB?

      I don't think we would actually play Hooker but hopefully we also just don't see. I don't view Dalton/Bryce as a worse option than Winston/Howell. I just think we disagree on this specific subject is all.

      I guarantee tepper would fire him if we lost out and he’d be justified
