OK, so if no heir to Smitty is in our draft plans, or in the draft at all,then FA is critical


top dawg

There are pluses and minuses to drafting a WR in the first round, when there is the likes of A.J. Green, or perhaps Julio Jones, Dez Bryant, or possibly even a Justin Blackmon or Kendall Wright...maybe. But if a legit WR1 is not in our draft plans, or is not in this draft period, then the same old problem remains: We are fuged if 89 goes down for multiple games. With Gett already alluding to the fact that we need to get some more playmakers/TD producers, wouldn't this mean that a big time WR is in our plans for FA? This, of course, would mean that some prolific---not totally unexpected---moves will have to be made to fix and clear cap space. So saying it is one thing, but internalizing the fact that fan favorites will be gone is probably necessary for the mental health of the unreasonable. Prepare yourselves, people. For me, it's gonna be a fun ride.

I have a feeling that we are not going to wing it this time. Having only Smitty as our only legit, take-it-to-da-house WR is not gonna fly in 2013 with Rivera's job on the line, and Gett at the helm.

No one on that list excites me. Wallace is gonna want more $$$ than we can afford, probably Bowe too. Jennings has had injury problems lately and ain't no spring chicken himself. WRs Welker is getting old and will never leave the system that's the only reason he's been successful. No one else is even interesting except....

One of the two Legadoodoos at the end of the list!!

    • Ravens mixing it up with a random Mark Andrew tush push last year isn't a similar situation.  Lamar has run QB sneaks his entire career.  And often instead of a traditional sneak will even employ a 4th and 1 direct snap to Lamar simply because of how athletic he is (which even Cam did a lot of) and let him pick his own holes.  
    • height being an issue doesn't just mean batted balls.  You could argue Bryce minimizes batted balls by adopting other poor habits such as his jump passing and leaving the pocket.   As I said, there are plays you can point to where he clearly was blind to parts of the field/players....which kills plays and opportunity. Which actually means some of the shorter/hot throws when things break down are where his vision gets blocked (and he had below average production all around the line of scrimmage).   has he figured it out? I mean, he improved off a trainwreck start.  But Bryce Young since arriving in the league (even while figuring it out)......doesn't generate much offensive production vs his peers.  I just think his ceiling is low.   And that's not in the grand scheme what you want in the NFL.  I think he can develop into a serviceable QB, that will largely always been a middle of the pack or low end starter.   
    • People make a lot of noise about his footwork and I think it is overblown. Whether he takes 3 steps backwards or 5 small steps doesn't matter as long as he ends up at the right depth and is in sync with  the receiver regarding timing. If he does that consistently who cares as long as he has a firm stable base as he delivers the ball. Which he does need to work on. However even that is somewhat overblown given that often QBs have to throw off balance or from different arm angles to fit the ball around defenders. He is considered very accurate so apparently it isn't hurting him that much.
