Because that can be just good enough to support a team that is otherwise excellent in every other area. But it didn’t have to be that way. And just trying to be good enough for a team that is 1-2 pieces away from dominating is wasted opportunity, not a silver lining. Until then I’m not going to keep throwing these guys under the bus asking why they’re aren’t squeezing more juice out of an obvious lemon.
Drafting is a long term answer. When you have a Super Bowl ready team however… when you don’t have the answer you bandaid. We did it last year with Dunlap and again this year with omenihu. We did it this year with Donovan smith. These guys didn’t ruin the development of karlaftis or wanya or FAU. Even worse because rookie WRs can find reps in lots of different ways. We didn’t bandaid WR because we were overconfident in our WR room. It’s shocking that we’re treating 1-2 years at $10m like it’s some kind of backbreaking deal. We scouted Toney all year and wholeheartedly believed he was wr1. We scouted on skyy and banked on him being wr2. Hell the two outside free agents we brought in are Kafka guys so we had intel on them too. We had more than enough info to raise concern. The regression isn’t bizarre to some who saw that problem coming a mile away. Imagine that… a roster with no wr who’s even remotely sniffed 1000 yards is having trouble targeting their WRs.

way to re-litigate the last 6 months AGAIN. Clearly nobody understood you the first six thousand times.
You and others never understood the concept that past production does not necessarily equal future production, and when you have a bunch of first, second, and third year guys, you have to project based on your scouting and coaching what you think they can do.
Things went about as bad as it could have gone.
Yes, we know, you would have signed Hopkins. Good for you.
Nobody's dancing around the fact that things have gone poorly, that Moore has done nothing, that the entire room outside of Rice has been a huge pile of shit.
There was no reason to think that would be the case. There was no reason to assume they would ALL suck ass.
Nobody's dancing around anything.
I preached PATIENCE when you guys were going nuclear meltdown after the Lions game.
We're week 14 now. The time for patience has passed.
