It's funny watching people completely abandon our guys after a loss. They are OUR guys. Many of them will be back.

 

I think certain players like Ginn or Mitchell have turned into huddle legends but Gettleman probably looks at things more pragmatically. That is one of my beefs with Hurney. He would fall in love with guys that helped us win games and not properly evaluate their market value.

I am tired of LaFell. At this point we know what he has to offer, there is no longer a real shot at a "break out" season anymore.

I know its late in the season, but I wouldn't mind seeing him lose 5-10 snaps a game to explore other options.

 

How do you intend to replace him? If we draft someone high it will be for our no.1 role. If we draft someone late we can't gamble on them starting for us. Steve is transitioning into a role player.

 

Lafell is 39th in receptions, 49th in yards, tied for 21st in TDs in an offense that runs more than most. That puts him firmly in the 2nd receiver category. Yeah he's boring but he also fills a role. Not only will other teams want him but they might outbid us for him.

 

We won't bring in someone better than him through FA, at least not as a no.2. I could see Hakeem Nicks coming in for a 1 year deal to raise his value.

I'm not taking on crap on him. He's alright. Not great. But fine. And he's always going to be just fine. It's not difficult to find a receiver like that. I'm just suggesting give some reps to some other guys that might have a lot of upside if they got a shot. I don't feel like it's much of a risk. I have never looked at the way our offense lines up and yell "WHY THE HELL ISN"T LAFELL ON THE FIELD???"

I'd love for us to make a run at Nicks as a free agent and see if he can be a legit #1 for us.  He has the tools, and I think his welcome was just wore out in New York.  It didn't help that Cruz emerged as a legit #1 for them making him expendable.  Hopefully, this humbling season has brought his price tag down some so you won't have to break the bank on him.  For a reasonable contract, I'd absolutely take him.

      Dan Morgan on the Rich Eisen show

      Reasonable. I mean I didn’t see a clear path to relief this season myself. As I have typed already, I think the QB FA class is more interesting next season and that draft is supposed to be stacked as well. There just weren’t many options this year.  When you have Tepper to contend with you have to tread lightly around this unless you are 100% certain and willIng to stake your job on it.   There were a couple of outings that helped Bryce a lot in terms of  thinking maybe he can do this, and if you are a supporter you are giving them a lot of weight. You are likely to think just get him some more help and he can do that every week. Which I think Tepper falls into that category.  And the playoffs, division champs, regardless of the way I see that, the supporters will also give that a lot of weight.    And the big one, the atmosphere In BOA for that WC game, Tepper had to be soiling himself over that. If you pulled Bryce out right now you had better be right and your new guy had better make the playoffs and look good doing it or you will be gone and your chance to build your old team back into respectability will be gone too.  So here we have Pickett on a one year deal, and Grier and King. I understand it.

      Well, seeing as we play the Lions at home this year, pretty sure that rumor isn't true.

      Totally possible imo, I also caught that snippet from Morgan where he said “If” we sign him. The lack of competition says otherwise tho 🤷‍♂️
