Dead on @IrepDC. Would have loved to have seen him further along, but he’s about where I assumed he’d be; overly optimistic me hoped we had devin white 2.0. I expect progression throughout the season but I’d definitively be starting Bostic over him.

Anyone having an issue with Dan attending the game yesterday is just acting foolish. He’s not banished, he owns the team and wanted to go. All this “read the room” crap is stupid and anyone that stirred up over it just needs to step away from their computer. 

Who the **** cares? Honestly what does it matter? Everything about the penalty is a joke, everyone knows it, just watch football.

A lot to like tonight. I worry about the OL and really didn’t like what I saw out of jamin, but I’m hoping both come together in time. Hopkins has been very good for us, yes he’s “cost us a few games,” but what kicker hasn’t. That being said, wtf was he doing tonight??

love fitzmagic, love heinecke, it’s such a breath of fresh air to have high IQ, athletic qbs who can work off script. 
 

The wr cut is going to be toughhh.

I think Dallas is underrated and people forget that Dak was out for most of last year, but I think that when they're remembered/brought up, they're romanticized a bit.  I think we could be equivalent in tier, but I think that head-to-head, we're just better.  I say that with a lot of reservation, but I do believe that we're the team to beat in the division.

Damn I hate to give anything to Dallas, but let’s be realistic, they went from a top 5ish QB to a wft qb. And their defense was literally historically bad, which I can’t imagine we’ll see again with Quinn and their new personnel.

we’ll be in the hunt, but Dallas and their much easier schedule will be in it also.

Wtf is going on with the raiders?? Does Vegas have beat reporters?

@Skinsinparadise curl at FS? Interesting

I'm really glad we re-signed him and am not trying to rain on his parade, but I think some of you are misremembering the season. Logan didn't start off too well, and some (myself included) were berating him for his dropped catches. He didn't really start to shine until the dallas game, and then had a break-out game against the Steelers.

 

Games	Targets	Catches	Catch %	Yards
1 - 5	32	14	43.75%	106
6 - 10	24	16	66.67%	202
11 - 16	54	42	77.78%	362
16	110	72	65.45%	670

 

 

Very fair. And much more unfair of me to point to the one game when he had a qb who could actually play the position, but I do weigh that TB playoff game heavier.
 

Not only that, this is a converted TE who was new to the team/system, so it’d make sense for him to excel later in the season. 
 

I know how kool aid drinking this comes off, but I see Logan as a weapon and easily top-10 during the rest of his time here.

Thinking TE is a need position doesn't necessitate a devaluation of Thomas.

 

Two TE sets still happen in the NFL, and in some ways it an important non-starter position in a way that the slot receiver used to be as opposed to a full back. 

 

Now they have it locked down for 4 years between Thomas and Bates*. 

How many teams have two really good TEs? If you have a really good TE, you wouldn’t consider it a position of need… sure depth is great, but when you have one who’s top 10, it should not be anywhere near the “need” category. It’s the nature of the position. If anything we needed a blocking TE, but that’s not a player that should be mentioned as a must upgrade.

seriously not trying to debate, I’m as happy about this signing as I was about Allen. We’re rewarding the players who deserve it. Love it.

I said that earlier. He had a great year for sure, but you never know. The coaches must see a lot in him.

Or you missed a lot… I don’t mean that as abrasive as it came off, but Logan Thomas has the football IQ of a qb with pretty good athleticism. He had that intangible skill of finding the spaces. He also proved time and time again to have excellent hands.

We had 1 WR and the checkdowniest QB ever. Any TE could eat like that. 

@Darrell Green Fan case and point

Posters here didn't appreciate what Thomas meant last year?  That's kind of  shocking, he was literally the only receiving TE on the roster and produced very well.

Shocking indeed. Did you happen to read the FA or draft threads? TE position was viewed as a major hole by many. This wouldn’t be the case if everyone thought of Logan as we do.

Love it. Plenty on this board don’t realize what a stud Logan was last year. We’ve been saying it about all of our receivers, but imagine the numbers he would have put up with competent qb play. 
 

he busted his ass to convert from qb to te, all of the guys saw it, and now they see the man rewarded. I was worried he would walk next year after becoming a proven player, so I Could not be happier about this.

I’m shocked. Everyone and their grandma knows that next years cap is going to be massive, so I’m surprised anyone’s agent is letting them sign right now. It really seems like Allen just wanted to be here. I believe this makes him the 5th highest paid DT, which we all know he is not. But by next season he will be right where he belongs and the days of solid DTs making under $20m/yr will be long gone.

but we're still just talking about a football game versus a personal medical decision...

Absolutely. If someone on the team is unvaccinated and causes an outbreak then they are held responsible. The game will be cancelled to keep all parties safe. You don’t play the game, you don’t get paid, I don’t see where there’s an issue.

that being said, I believe I read that players can’t do endorsements if they’re  unvaccinated. I don’t know how that’s something that the NFL can dictate.

We have a solid squad. And we now have a qb… even if he’s just top 20 that’s miles ahead of what we’ve had for years. And if he plays like he did last year combined with our defense then we should certainly be a double digit win team.

that being said, we still have holes and we still have question marks. Comparing our schedule to those of our division foes, I don’t see how we could be considered a favorite to win the NFCE. I see six borderline auto-losses and that doesn’t include our divisional opponents; we’re obviously not sweeping. It’s going to be a tough road.
 

I can’t wait to see this team play, but I’m not quite as optimistic as others. 

What dhop doesn’t understand is how selfish his stance is. He assumes that others should be inconvenienced by his decision. Everyone can do as they please, but they must reap what they sow.

let’s be honest, the story would read a whole lot different if they were training just about anywhere but Miami.

Regardless, not concerned at all. Anyone who actually paid attention last year knows there isn’t any TO in these guys.

If the FO knew that we’d land flowers and Leno for peanuts as well as draft cosmi, I wonder if they still would have franchised scherff. Regardless of Moses staying or leaving, our OL depth is stellar. We used to feel like we’d have gaping holes if someone went down, not any more.

We can say the same almost all the way across the board. So many were clamoring for a TE in FA/draft and I don’t understand why; Logan Thomas played at a pro bowl level last year. Sure, two great TEs would be welcome, but how many teams have that luxury? We found a diamond in the rough in him.

ILB and FS were the only positions that I was borderline desperate for. I think the team did a fine job addressing both positions. I worry about Jamin, but if anyone can shape an ILB it’s Rivera and jdr. Did Cooley have a take on him? 

This trade is too good that it almost feels fishy... if we’re not missing anything then goddam does it feel good to be on this end of a trade. 

Praying that we find a draft day trade partner for scherff. Paying an interior OL 10% of our cap continues to hurt my soul.

With the versatility of Samuel and gibson I really hope Ron orders turner to take off the training wheels.

Welcome Curtis. Was hoping to keep it capped at $10m per, but hey what’s another mil. We got ourselves a slot.

JuJu's career trajectory is a bit concerning. Got off to a great start and then had two seasons worse than his first two. Screams of a guy who isn't putting all his focus into football. 

Or it screams of a season with mason rudolph at qb and then a season with two stud young gun wrs and not enough food in the kitchen.

juju is a perfect #2, as he proved when he was alongside AB. That is exactly what we need here. My only concern is a #2 asking for #1 money.

Obviously Juju > Samuel. But since we lost crowder I’m realizing how bad we need a slot wr. Samuel is not only a really good slot, but also has the gadget dimension. I’d be pumped to get him, but not for anything over 10m/yr.

Arguably the two positions that PFF is somehwat obsessed with is QB and CB.

 

 

 

 

 

 

If the bears are #5 then their algorithm is clearly flawed.

Per year... I still think I’d prefer Darby at $10m per, but idk enough about Jackson.

His best year he had 851 receiving  yards along with 3 TDs, 2019 he had 627 receiving yards.  He's a JAG... 

and rushing stats? Samuel is a weapon everywhere.

would I prefer golladay, of course, but with $30m already spent, we’re not in the position to make that kind of splash. 
 

I heard the jets were fielding calls about Cj Moseley, I hope we’re one of the teams calling.
