Pitts is taking this game over. He’s a physical specimen, the actual version of what half the board insists Kincaid is destined to become. He's younger, too. Looks like Atlanta has wasted his potential.

Because when the lights shine the brightest and the competition is the best, no one has shown the ability step up and own the moment. Gabe being the exception, but the coaching staff pissed that one away.

Careful, you’re making too much sense. People on this board actually think a “luxury TE” who was 24 as a rookie is some kind of up-and-comer. Meanwhile, there are usually really solid LB prospects available at the end of the first round. Dean went in the 3rd and has turned into an impact player.

"Up-and-comer"… lol. And calling another TE a one-trick pony? That’s rich. Glad you have a hunch with nothing tangible to back it up.

How old is Kincaid next year? Don’t worry, I’ll help you out: he’s the opposite of Edmunds. How much more upside does a 27-year-old have? He is what he is. No one can argue he’s not above average when available. He was a questionable first-round pick, and it looks even worse now when you see the production from younger, more talented TEs. There are players hitting free agency every year who can match his output. DK still hasn’t had a single season that tops what Gesicki has done multiple times. I’m using Gesicki as an example, not necessarily pounding the table to sign him, though I wouldn’t be against it if a player like him was available. What’s wrong with short-term deals for guys who actually produce? How can you look at the Knox contract and be ready to run that sequel again? If you’re cool paying top-five money to a tweener who struggles to stay on the field, I don’t know what to tell you. For your reference. If DK had similar production (19,20,21 & 24) we'd be thrilled. Gesicki has an AAV of 8.5 million. Goedert will be available in the off-season for likely much less than DK.

I voted to let him walk. I’ve said for years that Mike Gesicki brings essentially the same skill set for a fraction of the cost. And if you think this is a recency-bias take, go search the forum threads, I’ve been consistent on this. Why pay a premium for production you can get on the open market?

Just thinking out loud here, so don’t come in too hot. The demands on players’ bodies are already pretty intense. What about an 18-game schedule with 55–58 game-day active spots, where each player can only suit up for 16 or 17 games, plus two bye weeks? The goal is simple: get the best product and the healthiest players on the field when the playoffs roll around. Teams with real depth and smart roster management would actually get rewarded. And honestly, it’d be fun to see a backup QB have to start a game or two by design, bring a little baseball-style strategy and matchup philosophy into the mix. Without overthinking it, this feels like a win for everyone: players get more rest and recovery, owners get their 18th game, and fans get a better on-field product and two extra weeks of the season. Fire away and let me know where I have a blind spot.

Sensitive? I hope not. Disappointed? Absolutely. Have you seen the statistics on reading comprehension in this country? They’re downright sad, and frankly, a little frightening. Thanks for the advice. I’m definitely a work in progress. According to our AI friends, qualifiers are surprisingly handy: -They signal exaggeration or irony without being 100% literal. -They keep the tone playful (or sarcastic). -They prevent alienating your audience by acknowledging “some limits.” Thank you, we did. I hope you did as well. Now we’ve got 48+ more hours of unfettered optimism, pretending that Bean just saved the season with this move. Let’s go, Brandin! (for real) As for Cooks: I’ve always appreciated his skill set. His NFL journey has been, interesting. I have a strange recollection of him being really young when he was drafted, the anti Kincaid. I didn't like when he was in NE for obvious reasons. I thought he’d flourish again in Dallas after LA, but the situation in NO this year wasn’t ideal. Here’s hoping we’re pleasantly surprised moving forward, the fans deserve it.

Trolling? Who, the front office? No. I just assumed the board was sharp enough to recognize a playful mix of frustration with a tiny sprinkle of hope, and clearly, they are. We’ve got a good group here. It appears you might be the exception. The way you managed to interpret that post as a literal statement of wishful thinking is… honestly a little concerning. So maybe try not being the "jackass" (your words, not mine) George Carlin was talking about when he mentioned the other 50% of the population.

What is a simple definition of satire? Satire is the art of making someone or something look ridiculous, raising laughter in order to embarrass, humble, or discredit its targets.

Also didn’t burn a 3rd pick.

Please tell that the sarcasm wasn’t lost on you?

Word is, he's still faster and can separate better than Coleman.

Santana Moss?

Joe Banner, Andy Reid and the early 2000 era Eagles felt the same way. It held McNabb back his first 5 years in the league. You're correct, they haven't kept up with the times. But at least they were getting to the NFC Championship.
