And they STILL cant figure out how to use him...

Fucking hell.
He's a receiving tight end, that doesn't mean he's going to out-run DBS when you line him up like a receiver. THere's some brain drain going on there, or something

Yeah... last I checked, the point of offense is to create mismatches IN YOUR favor, not the defense's.

Yep and if they wanna use him on the outside then let him actually threaten down the field where he can use his strength and length to win at the point of contact. All these in breaking routes are not helping him at all.

Hes fast but hes not quick. Hes big as shit...no one is gonna be that quick almost. Hes gonna lose every battle to any CB on those routes as they can just beat him to the ball. Hes not given any time to build up speed or momentum.

Its kind of like Derrick Henry.

He's not quick... and if you get him before he's worked up to full speed, you have a chance.

If you dont get a hand on him for the first 5 yards, you're fucked.

I wanna say anyone whos past 5th grade science would understand this concept but I guess there is a reason why "Are you Smarter than a 5th grader?" was a popular game show.

It is amazing how terrible some NFL coaches are at maximizing talent.

We see it all the time on defense. Think currently with Kyle Van Noy. Wasn't anything special in Detroit... then he was a crucial piece in New England... then back to JAG status with the Dolphins and Chargers... and now back to leading the Ravens in sacks.

Sam Darnold.
Baker Mayfield.

Its just crazy how bad some teams are with this stuff.

He was solid again the year NE brought him back from the Dolphins. Wish they had kept him. Think it was a money decision.

The Jets are the kings of ruining QBs. Rodgers is too far into his career and ways for them to fuck him i would think, but anything is possible.

We have to officially put GOff in that category of QBs that were written off as Garbage that are revitalized with another team.
He's been a stud on the Lions

He got really beat up in the Denver game, 5 sacks and like 10 hard knockdowns

Wouldn't be surprised if he has season long lingering damage from that game, I think his new achilles leg got rolled up on by a defender making a sack.

I play old man softball. After the handshakes I always tell the umpire thanks. Even the shitty ones. It's not unheard of for decent people to tell someone thank you when they are doing a thankless job.
Especially when they save your bacon 4 weeks in a row!
