I know a lot of you probably don't want to talk about this today given Hurney's offing.

But do you guys think that losing Shockey was a bit of a bigger loss than anyone really realized. This offense is almost identical to last year, yet it seems as though they fold in a lot of tough situations. I think we honestly miss the fire, passion and edge that Shockey brought to the team. I couldn't see him just sitting around on the sidelines when we are getting embarassed, I just picture him trying to hype up the team or start a fight with the opponent.

Almost identical players maybe, but very different schemes.

So must of our runs last year weren't read options? Must have been watching the wrong Panthers. By virtue of what you are saying, you are saying the team implemented a completley new offense in this offseason which isnt even close to true.

The 2 TE "Coryell" downfield passing game was so money last year that they thought they'd put it on the shelf. Clearly not signing Shockey was a huge error as the entire system has morphed into this ugly cluster-fug of read option garbage.

The effort NOT to re-sign Shockey was essentially a harbinger of this 1-5 season and the Hurney sacking. It didn't have to be Shockey, but Barnidge just can't give you the veteran savvy needed in the Coryell system. That TE needs to be a monster blocker and a crisp route runner. He needs to have toughness, experience, and a little swag.

Shockey was the epitome of this offense last year. Mike "oops, I dropped the pass" Tolbert is now the epitome of this year's failure.

Hurney is the one to blame. Then Chud, the Rivera.

      At this point, I think Chubba is the odd man out. I hate that, but I think Dowdle gives us more production and big play ability.  But there is still a lot of football to play.  I think it depends on how much Dowdle will want too.

      I’ve been anti-trade when it comes to Melo, but the way this season has started, it may be time.  I love his game and he’s a cool dude, but I’m starting to think, if he’s your best player, you’re never going to win anything of significance.  Too many brain farts, too many injuries, and ultimately for as fun and entertaining as he is to watch - his game is indeed a thing of beauty - it just doesn’t translate to wins.  And that’s IF he even plays.  I think it’s time to cash out and maximize the return.  I love Melo, but I think it’s pretty clear what the ceiling is for a team where he is the best player.

      Every NFL team, college program, hell even HS has numerous "what ifs" that got derailed by injury. It's a brutal sport and half the battle is just getting lucky enough to stay healthy. Doesn't matter how durable you are and how well you take care of your body everyone is one weird hit or awkward twist away from a career derailing injury.
