Am I the only one that thinks putting Wharton beside Bell could help Bell get better?

Putting a solid Vet with knowledge at RG could help Bell progress. I think.

I think Bell's biggest issue is he isn't quick and athletic enough to stop good pass rushers on the outside. Not sure a vet helps

You clearly missed 2011. Wharton isn't mediocre. Stop posting.

I guess you did too... It was a spending frenzy league wide after the lockout.

A lot of players are taking 1 year deals leauge wide this year as well because of the flat cap and its all they can get and in some cases want.

I'm not mad at Gman even tho I think he does have a bit of an ego. Better late than never. I'll call it a win win. Gman had the leverage of knowing that he only wanted to play here while Wharton probably made a little more than he was initially offered becaused the line sucked.

Some say it was patience by Gman I think Wharton was the patient one. Gets to skip all the boring stuff and get ready for game time.

if having an ego means he is confident and has a plan than yes he has an ego. that shouldn't be derogatory though. you want people in positions of power to be confident.

Still hoping for a decent post-cuts pick-up or two.

 

don't be surprised if we have to wait.

 

i saw omar kelly (dolphins beat reporter) remind his readers that  shopping in this first wave of cuts is kind of like dumpster diving, but waiting until the second wave is like going to a yard sale.

 

you can find value at both if you've got a good eye and a bit of luck, but you have a better chance at the yard sale than you do in the dumpster.

      Thielen was a "dawg" like Dan Morgan likes to say. And they replaced him with puppies.  The analytics are probably saying this is more targets for younger receivers they are hoping to develop, specifically the first round pick from 2025. The eye test is going to show a very inexperienced group of WRs that are going to have some serious growing pains, for a 3rd year QB who has not yet proven to be the guy going forward.  It's crazy how in the literal first game of his NFL career, Cam Newton showed everyone he was a star QB and there was never any doubt about that. It almost didn't even matter who was around him, although he definitely had a serious lack of talent at WR for most of his career. Bryce is going into his third season and there is still a ton of doubt, and who is around him is seen as crucial for him to have success. I don't like it.

      Everyone says AT was old and slow but the one thing he could do consistently was get separation. That takes skill and it's been a huge issue in our WR for years. And while Moore may be a great locker room guy and our WR coach may be a 12 year vet, he's not playing in the game. Vets like AT do what they do because they can see things others don't and exploit it. The DB interview I mentioned before was with Stephon Gilmore after his DPOY season. He was pulling the younger DBs aside showing them things you wouldn't even think you'd be able to tell from the way the receiver was standing.  Seeing what a DB or LB is biting on in game that can give you that half step advantage is huge and we don't have that experience in our WR group right now and I think it could end up hurting us. None of our receivers have lined up against NFL corners successfully on a regular basis. Having someone that can walk over and give you a tip to get a half yard separation can be a difference maker.
