they are top 5? 10? In the red zone. It’s a pretty specific sliver they are struggling from. id rather be great in the red zone with a hole passing from the goal line than terrible in the red zone and decent at the 1

it’s the challenge with around the league knowledge being stars and highlight reels. Very good players with those flubs look much worse than they really are compared to peers. we know cooks every miss but only see breece highlights

He will be a very good player for us. Samuel will steal some of the out of the backfield pass catching from him (see deebo)

we use the phrase game of inches all the time but at qb it really comes down to tiny margins on a handful of plays each game. The gap between someone like dak or cousins and say Fitzpatrick isn’t huge and fits to guys that never see the field is a sliver again

Shades of ej and kolb here

roll in injury luck, finding a good situation to grow in, etc… there’s a lot that goes into it beyond just talent and hard work

The realization that the players name plates are their social media handles in this darts only video really got me

sometimes guys have to play as the person they are, and not try to pretend they are someone else, to get the best out of themselves.

because the cap hit doesn’t catch up for a couple years. We totally should’ve done the same early in Josh’s career

unfortunately, the bigger challenge is that now that we are fully into Josh being paid- the job also is harder. so getting better may just be standing still. Suddenly you have to take multiple steps forward to avoid falling behind.

im not sure anyone’s seriously upset sir perhaps you are the one overly emotional here?

yea, but if he has any desire to come back it does him no favors to go beyond super high level feedback or to remain mostly positive. if he’s totally done in the nfl, it could be a lot more interesting

their talking heads are excellent honestly

yea the only question will be how real he’s willing to get with it. On the surface, great concept though,

prototypical WRs? tyreek, diggs, Wilson, lamb, Adams, brown, Jefferson, chase, Moore, Evans, aiyuk, Amon ra, DK, waddle… the rookies this year are very prototypical not sure how deep you want to go with impact WRs…. Nico, Pittman, Devonta, Higgins, Hopkins etc…

it’s why you can’t let them sit for years. They are basically past all the perks of the rookie contract

my hope is that just making the playoffs will also be a footnote when this Allen story is all done. lets all keep fingers crossed that the last 5 years are the low point and not the high point of the decade. If Allen walks out with 2 rings, and a bunch of iconic moments- an mvp- I don’t think we will be in canton talking about diggs as more than a passing comment. if Josh has peeked and has a sudden drop, yea, diggs will occupy more space in the story

he’s going to be more TO than reed in the memories. He was a hired gun for a short stretch not guy that bled team colors. doesn’t mean he’s disliked, he’s just a footnote in the family history and not the main story.

about where I am at too - well said

the unfortunate truth: they are a bit of a crapshoot after the initial high end guys in the class. It speaks to Keon not being a slam dunk star- though I think he will be relatively productive

between the comparisons between shakir and kupp, and now belief that Keon will be WR1, I’m scared to see what I’ve missed you saying about Samuel.

It’s the poor man’s 49ers at the skill positions. not wild to see deebo-aiyuk as the premium Samuel-shakir, right? Kittle/kincaid is probably the least “poor man” comparison While I like cook, no cmc but they’ve dabbled in that usage the flip side is we have Josh instead of purdy so we are the aged out of a rookie qb deal version of it. Does that work? Probably most weeks. Does it beat the jags-bengals-chiefs-49ers in consecutive weeks after new years? Not impossible but I’d sure feel better with one proven matchup problem at outside WR

if you were drafting a guy long term, maybe you pick Keon. for a game this weekend probably less enthusiastic about that WR1 status for Keon

the Brady point being that there are exceptions to rules, but it’s not fun betting the house that you will also be the exception.

someone, maybe multiple, should have career production years- we will have a certain level of passing production and SOMEONE will catch those passes. will those guys be playing better than they previously have, or will they just be getting volume? That answer will go a long way to defining our offense Brady was drafted in the 6th but is it your business model? also, Watson would be wr1 here also, also, when did their season end?
