Follow up tweet from Joe:

Water is wet.

I know a lot of people are high on Chuba, and he did RUN the ball better last year compared to the year before, but he can not catch a cold. He has stone hands and he is the worst receiving back on the team. When CMC went down, it wasn't just a noticeable dropoff in the RB receiving game because he wasn't being utilized, he was, he just dropped damn near everything thrown his way.

I wouldn't be surprised to see Blackshear take 3rd down duties and slowly work into the running rotation as Chuba is fazed out as the year progresses.

I feel like he is better at OG. BC at backup LT and Mayes as backup RT always made the most sense to me. Let Erving backup the interior line as it’s easier to hide a bad player there. 

Well he is a problem we will have this season but we don't have to have that same problem next season.

Which, I have no idea, maybe he really does make that much of a difference in the locker room. If so....I mean....I guess it is what it is.

The value he offers is that with the ball in his hand, he's a freight train. That part of his game is hard to ignore.

But yeah, he can't seem to catch to save his life.

I'm not saying that at all. Young has great presence and it will absolutely help him avoid hits. No point ignoring the fact he's small. It's reality. We bragged about Cam being bigger than the linebackers tackling him. Can't change the laws of physics 

Man I totally agree wtf does his size have to do with escapability you either have it or you don’t no in between. The size remarks make no sense at all from what I just saw he was moving around like a young Brees just avoiding defenders and keeping his eyes downfield ready to make a play I couldn’t be more impressed with a rookie QB so far.

I would lose no sleep if we got rid of him. He's okay, but not reliable in the passing game. The only reason we even drafted the guy was from them whim of Mrs. Rhule.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist

      Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
