I don’t understand the complaints about this signing not realizing what we have trotted out there last couple of years. Ian Thomas would not even be on most teams roster 

Are people really complaining? We've needed a tight end as badly as we needed a LT after Gross retired. A player that demands safety and linebacker attention in the pass game immediately makes receivers jobs much, much easier.

I'm sure DJ Moore is banging his head on the wall right now.

Mahomes just won a SB with a bunch of mediocre WRs. Scheme and good QB can get a lot done. 

Mahomes already has an argument for GOAT NFL player frankly. Stroud or Young could turn into an elite franchise QB and still not be all that close to Mahomes' level. But I generally agree with your point that coaching, elite OL, franchise QB can all make a lack of weapons moot. There's a lot of ways to skin a cat. If we don't have many weapons we'll need to have great efficient play calling and QB play limiting turnovers and a great D. Especially in today's NFL where putting up points is so important. I don't expect to contend as soon as this year so we have a couple years to build out our skill position groups too. I'm just thrilled we have a top OL in place and continuity there to keep our rookie comfortable from go.

I know a lot of people are still dealing with the trauma, but time heals...

Cut or trade Ian Thomas would save $3M, which would probably cover the cost of this signing.

We officially have a tight end that is actually capable of doing all the tight end things.  

Thomas has been a forever work in progress, Tremble is a work in progress.  Dissapointed this isn't Schultz but he offers more flexibility than what Gesicki would bring.

If not Schultz, it was Hurst or Tonyan.  Maybe Moreau.

feel like this free agent class leans more towards Stroud even while we’re hearing more and more buzz about Bryce

So basically DJ Moore was our entire offense?

 

 

These people think we are done with our roster right now...

Always felt meh about him, but he’s a solid all around TE, and that will be great for our rookie QB. Now we can also draft and develop a young TE. TEs usually take a while before they contribute. I’m just waiting to see what the cost is.

His dead cap hit looked pretty bad...

Never understood the logic of that.

I get that he's afraid of turnovers but a whole lot of touchdowns are scored that way. You're going to sacrifice those potential touchdowns just out of fear that something bad might happen?

Rhule was such a dumbsh-t

[Ivan The Awesome]

Better than Tremble and Thomas combined. Although that's not saying much.

Damn boys. This is actually a fuggin fun off season.
