Ahh gotcha. Are you referring to the early Dupree days when they had to keep an aged James Harrison around because Jarvis Jones didn't pan out? Chickillo & Moats were the depth pieces. Those were some stagnant times.
Yep! EXactly.
It's been great seeing Witherspoon shine. We were worried early on when he couldn't even get a hat. I'd let Edmunds try the market, and then sign him for cheap. He's worth a small contract, can't have stars everywhere.
Depends what juju wants. He thinks hes a wr1…hes not. Not gonna be upset having him, but then do we keep diontae too? And clyapool? Theyre all coming up.
I'd want to keep Diontae. But like I said, I'd move Claypool this offseason. He's just slightly less in his own way than Martavius Bryant was.
Its possible. But the league also doesnt view juju as a #1 his best deal was a 1 year lower salary with the chiefs. He also just isnt the same without ab. What happened to the guy that was so dangerous in space with the ball in his hands too. Hes functioning like an edelamn or welker almost. WHich those guys r awesome, but not #1’s imho. I may well be missing something, im sure i am. He holds way more value to us than elsewhere i think.
I'm fine with paying him less. But I do very much want to resign him to a long-term deal.
Seeing Tomlin get extended likely motivates Colbert to stick around another year or 3. He's always been a fan of the 1yr deals so I doubt he deviates from it.
Spit up some coffee on this... lmao
Apt comparison.
You know. You make a really good point, and I agree.
The rumors just keep getting louder but I hope you are right.
I was referring to the Mayock comment lol.
bryant was head case...........so is chase, just in different ways. Neither can get of their own way. Obv bryant was one of those cases where still to this day there was more to the story than we know, because its not like other teams took a shot on the uber talented wr. Chase has the physical skills to be an alpha wr 1........elite alpha wr 1.......in the mold of adams, or jamar chase etc.....he has those tools......just dont know that he ever gets close.
Claypool just needs to WANT IT. Because if he wants it badly enough he will take that leap. But thus far nothing really points to him having that burning hunger to be great.
yep. There was some rumors to this in the draft process too. That he was lazy. That he played so much slower than he ran......etc etc...they were out there.....its why a few folks thought he may be a tight end......
I remember that TE talk. Don't think I ever heard about the laziness though. I just assumed it was based on his size. He cut weight to run as fast as he did at the combine and that eliminated the need to move him to a hybrid TE
Yeah there was some talk of that pre draft. Diva tendencies etc…
Interesting. Might have to go revisit that. I do recall watching tape on him after they drafted him and I thought his game film looked a lot slower compared to his combine numbers. Which is how I learned about him cutting weight to avoid being labeled a TE.
Ill try and see if i can find it later tonight. There wasnt an abyndance of info there on it but whispers. Same as Ab
