Just now, Mr. Scot said:

I'd wanna know whether Brady doesn't use the tight end because we don't have good ones or if he just doesn't like to use the tight end at all.

We run a lot of 11 and 12 so I'm assuming the former.

But at this point I dont care if its just a jump ball WR we need a contested catcher.

I agree that it's risky, but I think its worth the risk if you get a great guy.

That said I cant think of a first round TE that's worked recently.

Hell I'd take Njoku in FA this season too.

Holy poo the Jets suuuuuuuck.

Rodgers is great and has been having an MVP caliber season, but he looks like hot trash today.

That the Packers and Jets are both down by three touchdowns or more is not something I would have predicted.

Go look at the TEs drafted in the 1st round for the past 10 years. Not pretty. You want a game changer in the 1st round, and a TE is never going to live up to that.  And as good as Pitts is, he is not a good blocker, so we'd be essentially wasting a 1st round pick on merely redzone threat who can't block.

I Think for the Jets it's the Offense that's trash the defense today has gotten several INT's

Yeah just on memory, you're right. The only one I can think of that panned out at all in recent memory are Vernon Davis and Greg Olsen, and even then it took a while.

We just really fuging need help at that position. Manhertz should not be a starter in any aspect.

Tough to remember when this Packers)Bucs game was 10-0 Packers. Bucs are on a 38-0 run since then.

I thought this would be the game of the week.

Well, upon looking....the last 15 years might cause me to say no thanks to the TE

Not a single one was worth the draft pick.  You could argue Olsen but he wasn’t worth it for the team who drafted him. 

[Mr. Scot]

I'd draft a tight end in the first if I thought we were pretty solid around the rest of the roster.

It's likely gonna be a few years before we can say that.

[LinvilleGorge]

Either GB is really shitting the bed today or the Bucs might be a legit SB contender. The Bucs are completely dominating this game.
