My brilliance/ignorance has just informed me that Visanthe Shiancoe is still a free agent. He would be a very good #2 option, almost seamlessly replacing Shockey.

I know people for some reason are high on Barnidge, but let's face it, he has been in the league for 4 seasons with little to no production to account for. There are many players with less experience that us huddlers have written off. I'm not saying get rid of Barny, but I'd feel better with a more experienced and productive player at the #2 TE spot, considering its importance in this offense.

Yes Tolbert was brought in, but he isn't a 6'4 big body receiver either. He is getting up there in age, but since it doesn't look like Shock is coming back, he looks like a viable option.

Barnidge obviously hasn't done a whole lot. However the goal of any team is to build through the draft and he's obviously a guy they seem at this point to be satisfied with. They know what they want and they know him better than any of us. I will will trust in Chud to make that decision.

considering that 3 of barnidge's 4 years were under fox who was brilliant in the way he used TEs.

that was pretty much an ideal situation for any TE, right?

and then last year was IRed so he had every chance to show he could make it as a solid TE.

viable doesn't mean better, or does it? still trying to make sense of that question

I'm actually trying to make sense of your answer/question for my question. It's a simple question that I asked you. If they have not signed Shockey, why would they sign Shiancoe? They are similar, both vets. Shockey would be signed way before Shiancoe simply because he's played with our unit before and knows the system. I don't understand why you would even consider Shiancoe an option.

I haven't lost hope in Barny either, would love for him to pan out. Shiancoe has almost the same skill sets as Shockey, he can do the dirty work with blocking and make tough catches. I see Barny more of a guy needing space, but really, what does anybody know about Barny? We can say he didn't fit what Fox wants in a TE so that hampered his playing time, but if he really stood out in those 3 years, nobody thinks he would have gotten more opportunities? Basically, Shiancoe is a good option if we want Shockey, but he doesn't come back. I know we are developing young guys, but hey, we are making a serious run, you need vets as well.

      Dave Tepper gives Canales and Dan Morgan vote of confidence

      By frankw · Posted

      You and I both know there isn't a coach we could or can still hire that can "fix" Bryce Young. Even at mighty Alabama with one of the best modern coaches in college football history Mac Jones was still a better QB than Bryce Young. Mac Jones.... We already know how you feel about Canales on a personal level so in that regard you wanting him fired is not news. You don't have to disguise it behind this shroud of rabble about not fixing Bryce Young. To his credit he somehow had us competive against the Chiefs and the Eagles on the road with #9. But no coaching staff can overcome their starting QB turning the ball over 4 times. We definitely have developed some of our younger offensive pieces. And as far as Evero goes he has earned criticism and if he's fired so be it but in his defense many of us said in the offseason this defensive roster was a disaster waiting to happen given the resources we spent on the offense while neglecting the defense. That was Dan Morgan's plan. He swung too hard toward offense to salvage the Bryce Young trade. That's on him. We can scream about XL all we want but at least he's actually been on the field for the most part. The Brooks pick was a luxury pick at the time and now it is a Hurney level blunder. Dan Morgan has gotten a lot of early praise here when in reality he's unequivocally deserving of significant criticism. But if you say that some people get up in arms because he's a former Panther. Big whoop. He has just as much to prove this upcoming season as Canales. That's why to me in my own personal opinion I say one more season and then if it's more of the same say goodbye to both.

      It's a decent vid with compelling reasons for his opinion. But, my thing is is that you simply can't draft McMillan thinking he is a surefire WR1. There are questions. His 40---rightly or wrongly---will play a part. I'd think that his splits (which will speak more to his game translating to the pros in my mind) are more important.  As much as you're trying to sell us that McMillan is a don't-overthink-it-type-of-player, I wouldn't say that's the case. Workouts will play a part in all of this.  At this point, I like the thought of Tetairoa. That's as much as I can give you right now.
