Brady was already maybe the 15th best QB this year. Another year of deterioration, and he's lucky to be Andy Dalton.

Even in youth football, we coach to never leave your feet to catch a ball when you don't need to. There's zero reason Brown needed to jump to catch a chest-high ball. If I had an 8th grader do that, I'd have been flipping out. Really bad play by Brown.

I've been saying that since I was a kid, lol. My friend and I tried to make an O-Fence sign when we were teens, but the fence looked stupid & we didn't bring it to the game. Still never seen one at a game.

Green is the perfect addition for us. Sure, he's had injuries, but he could step in day 1 & be a WR1. He'd come for a semi-reasonable 1-2 year deal. We still NEED to draft a guy in the first 2 rounds, and we'd be set at WR.

Renfroe is a Beasley clone, I totally understand not drafting him. Allen needed a strong slot WR who could be ready to go from day 1, Beasley was the right choice. I do think he was under-utilized, but Beez is a top-10 slot guy. Now passing on DK & AJ Brown for Ford, yeah that's something that Beane has to be kicking himself for.

I hate when we run RPO plays, it seems like Josh makes the wrong read every time. Give to Singletary off-guard for no gain when the edge is open. Keep it for 1 yard when Singletary had a hole up the middle.

Even that missed TD shows that Duke can do things nobody else on our roster can. He needs to play every game.

Did we trade him to the Pats?

Sam Mills belongs in the HOF. It's the "Pro Football" Hall of Fame, not just NFL. While his NFL career is borderline, if you add his 3 USFL seasons, he should be a no-doubter. He was 3x All-USFL & won 2 championships. Tackle stats weren't kept for the USFL (I'd bet he's the all-time leader), but he had 9 INTs & 15 sacks in 3 seasons, which is amazing for an ILB. If you haven't seen it, Mills' "A Football Life" is the best episode I've ever seen. Great player & an even better person.

Need to get hits on Brady. Even if we get a couple inevitable bogus RTP penalties early. Give him happy feet & let the secondary do the rest.

I would guess Brady is the 1st alternate, though totally not deserving of it. The 2nd would have to be Brissett, or maybe even Tannehill. Both of which should be well behind Allen. Brady won't go to the Pro Bowl, but whichever scrub is the 2nd alternate surely will. It'll take an injury to get Josh in, which is total BS.

Aiyuk is listed at 5'11" on ESPN, but he's listed as 6'1" some places. No idea which is true, but he doesn't look 6'1" on tape. Say what ypu want about height not mattering, but I can't see us taking a sub- 6'2" WR in round 1.

CJ Anderson was signed by the Rams last year about this time (Dec 18th), and they rode him to the Superbowl. He just so happens to be a free agent right now, and is only 28. Gore looked pretty good the first half of the season, but he's completely worn down. Aside from ball security, he isn't giving us anything at this point. Anderson would be the hammer we need. Oh, and CJ Anderson has only fumbled 4 times in 7 seasons...

My son wants one too, couldn't find it anywhere except cheap fakes from China with sewn-on numbers. He already has one in blue, so there's always his next birthday...

If we're talking about drafting a TE because we need one with speed, let's remember that Knox ran a 4.57. 40-times of guys mentoned in this thread: Kittle- 4.52 Fant- 4.51 OJ Howard- 4.51 Hooper- 4.72 Knox is already a better blocker than every one of these guys, and is pretty darn close in speed. Kittle's rookie stats were 43rec, 515yds, 2 TD. Knox isn't too far off from that. Now it remains to be seen if Knox's drops are rookie-itis, or if we have another Zay situation on our hands. But if he can shake the drops, he's absolutely our TE of the future.

We have plenty of guys on offense who CAN make big plays. Beasley has made a bunch this year, I'd consider his TD & 2pt coversion today big plays. Knox has made several, including the 1-handed catch today, but probably has as many huge drops as big plays. Hopefully that's just rookie stuff. Brown has cooled off the the past few games, but obviously has many big plays for us. Even McKenzie has had a couple.

Roberts he absolutely sucked today, he no longer has the talent to be our Return specialist. He also offers nothing as a WR6, and should be inactivated on game day. I'm sure Mckenzie (or almost anybody, really) could at least do what Roberts has been doing on KOs. We could activate Duke & at least have a big target available if Daboll decides to try & use one.

Not a lot of suitors. Broncos, Bears, maybe Colts. Possibly Steelers or Chargers if Rivers/Ben decide to retire. Plus he'll be competing with Dalton for a landing spot, who I'd bet some teams would prefer. Miami & Cinci will draft their QBs, no way would they give up an early 2nd rounder for a bridge QB.

I think AJ Green would be a solid add for us, on a reasonable deal. No way he'll command what he'd get based on his first 7 seasons, after missing the last year & a half. Ih healthy, he still has another 3 seasons as a WR1. We still draft a WR in round 1 or 2, and AJ fills that gap while the young WR develops.This is exactly the type of move we need.

The only mistake I can recall is when he took a sack for -5 on that bootleg play in the red zone, instead of throwing it out of the endzone. I still say A+.

Longevity is a big part of a HOF career. Ward also had 2 SuperBowl wins to Holt's 1, played a lot more playoff games, and had better per-game playoff numbers. Even Steeler haters loved the way Ward played, and how he'd jump up after getting smashed by a DB with a huge smile on his face. It's just an opinion poll, I think we can all agree both belong in the Hall of Fame.

Pre-Madonna?

Yep. It's close, but Ward has better career numbers in every category except yards, and he was a better playoff performer. Plus Ward is seen as a hard-nosed player while Holt was more of a finesse guy. If I'm voting for one the other, it's Ward. Holt will also be deserving when he eventually gets in.

The shoo-ins for me are: Polamalu, Isaac Bruce, John Lynch, Hines Ward, & Faneca. I think Torry Holt & Ronde Barber get in eventually. Sam Mills belongs in there. Considering it's the "Pro Football HOF", USFL should add to his case. Boselli was great, but not deserving of HOF in my opinion. His career was 8 years, but he only played 6 seasons due to injury.

The Rams also don't have a 1st round pick in either of the next 2 drafts. Good luck getting a new QB or elite OL. McVay will probably get 1 more season before being shown the door, but he'll be leaving that team in shambles.
