He might just have a slender frame and there is not much you can do about that, but actual strength is more important than bulkI hope our strength staff is a little better than Cincinnati’s.

We won’t know for a year or so. I think you can expect more gains from prospects coming from mid-tier programs like Cincy and Colorado State than guys from like UGA that has a strength program that rivals a lot of pro teams.He might just have a slender frame and there is not much you can do about that, but actual strength is more important than bulk

It wasn't close to a drop. In fact, it might have been a TD if Blough catches him in stride.That deep ball to McBride was overthrown. Even diving at full stretch he could barely tip it. That wasn't a drop.
Especially when you consider there was no need for it to be positioned there as McBride was wide open.

And, he blocks better than Ertz.xc_hide_links_from_guests_guests_error_hide_media
DittoI'm excited about his potential in a traditional NFL offense.

Double ditto.Ditto
Agreed. I was banging on the bell of "we've seen nothing to tell us he would be good" for much of the season. We eventually did, which is great. He should start for us next season. Ertz shouldn't be back.Trey looks no worse than a competent NFL tight end
It only saves the team $2 million by cutting Ertz. His Cap'n hit is $12 million and his dead money is $10 million.Agreed.

You can cut him after next season for $4 million in dead money vs a $12 million cap hit.
Nah, this post, and your earlier ones, make you look silly. Here's a question for the board (and you): What is sillier?This thread already making some people look silly.
There's probably a Packers board somewhere with a "Christian Watson only has 78 yards and 0 TD's" thread created in week 9 making people look silly too.
It's almost as if it takes most rookies time to find their feet.
Nah, this post, and your earlier ones, make you look silly. Here's a question for the board (and you): What is sillier?
To shout from the rooftops that someone is going to be a solid pro before seeing any evidence of it,
OR
To take a measured approach, wait and see if there is evidence, and then make a rational decision?
Bagging on him as a 2nd-rounder and for making dumb early mistakes in no way assumed he wouldn't become good. As, you know, I and others constantly said. We just wanted to see the positive signs that were very much not present earlier in the season. So, it's nice to see some positive signs, and I'll look for him to keep improving and hopefully start next season.
Calling him a bust and trash 2nd round pick (it happened) halfway through his rookie season is not bagging on him or looking at things objectively.Nah, this post, and your earlier ones, make you look silly. Here's a question for the board (and you): What is sillier?

Never said he was a bust. Still think he was a trash 2nd-round pick for us at the time. Just a dumb Keim pick. Now that he's showing some progress, I hope he can live up to his draft status or at least have a solid career here.Calling him a bust and trash 2nd round pick (it happened) halfway through his rookie season is not bagging on him or looking at things objectively.
Brit saying he'd seen enough from McBride to "see" he was going to be a good player does not equate any statistical or logical proof that this was or is the case. Early in this thread was your typical blame Kyler for everything approach.You're talking about the difference between statistical evidence and seeing what the player can do.
I had seen enough from him despite him not getting the ball to see he was going to be a good player. The fact he wasn't getting the ball and was often being missed wasn't his fault.
I literally said it back on page 1
"McBride is going to be fine. You can see he has talent if you watch the player and ignore the stats."

Ah, my bad!Wasn't specific to you.
