Dammit!

Dont let Mitchell leave. We made a mistake before by letting Marlon McCree go. Dont do the same with Mitchell.

Im fine with letting Ginn go. Hes a no3, not a no2.

Just for speculation only, Calvin Pryor in the 1st now if Mitchell aint retain?

You're fine with letting our best return man since Smith did it go? And at this point we don't even have a #1 so #3 is fine

Let's say Person knows something--anyone can say on a Saturday that it is not looking good by Tuesday when they have had the entire offseason to sign these guys.  However, I will play along.

 

Gross leaving may have impacted these decisions.  Finding a LT is more important that a S and a one-trick pony WR. 

 

Mitchell and Ginn agreed to one-year deal to showcase their talents hoping to get a good deal.  We didn't commit to them for more than that year, so there is no reason to expect loyalty to us.

 

Let's look at the positives--Mitchell was a bit of a loose-cannon, one-dimensional safety and we can find another.  His value is escalated because he was a surprise starter who performed well enough to start.  He was not a star.  Nor was Ginn.

 

If we do not re-sign Ginn, it could alter our first round pick choice.  Maybe Beckham Jr over Jordan Matthews, for example.

Someone else can do Ginn's job on ST. You dont overpay for him just bc hes a fine returner, but average WR.

The dude was arguably our best receiver last year... Did you even watch? His deep threat was underutilized because of our offensive scheme but it allowed smitty and Olsen to get open many times.

Yeah cause we have such a huge talented crop of receivers right now. We can afford to be picky.

You rather use that money that youre going to give Ginn for a relaible wr: Tate or Roberts.

Ive never said we were good at WR. But, Ginn is def not going to solve the answer. Im sure a lot of wr on the street can match Ginn's 500 yd season in 2014 if thats what youre worry about.

      I just mean it’s always offsetting in that situation.  I didn’t realize they called another penalty

      And as I asked this again before, what goes into PFF's man open %, as I know you've brought that stat up before. Is that just the number of routes he gets open at any point during the route, or is it calculated on targets and if he was open when the ball got to him. Because like I pointed out so many times in the lead up to the draft, a big reason it was harder for him to get separation against man was because he not only had his man on him, but he was double or triple teamed on the majority of his routes this past year.  Just because of that alone, it was easier for him to get open against zone coverage where he could find holes and sit in them. Also, again, as been discussed so many times, his QB's play this year was awful, and lots of times his contested catches were due to him not delivering the ball on time when T-Mac got open.  Or just times he got open but wasn't targeted for whatever reason. So just using that stat as a way to say he struggles to get open against man is more likely than not, disingenuous. Hell, it's a PFF stat that you're using against him, yet at the same time, PFF absolutely loves him, he was their 4th overall player.   I posted this clip on here a week or so ago of the T-Mac vs Hunter game in 2023, where the anti T-Mac guys like to say Hunter shut him down.  But numerous times in this video you see T-Mac create tons of separation from Hunter but the ball wasn't thrown his way, plus a clear PI that wasn't called (and the one that was). https://x.com/4MR_Fetti/status/1918262063660454227 The "he can't separate" narrative is way overblown and become something more myth than reality.  No, he's not an elite separator like some of the quick twitch WRs, but he's so much better than the haters here like to say.
