I wouldn’t mind bringing Gilmore and Campbell here. I think Gilmore could fill the spot opposite Benford and help younger guys like Ingram. Same with Campbell since I assume we’re drafting a big DT this year.

Or what?

Dammit

That was not the claim made by the poster. Read what he wrote then comment.

while the early rounders will be benched, with hopes that they develop. The claim from your post. Which was shown to be in serious error. I don’t have to put up stats because that was not the point you tried to make.

and you made a statement that was flat out wrong

Let’s do just that. 2024: Coleman, Bishop, Carter. All starters and/or regular contributors 2023: Kincaid, Torrence, Williams. See above. 2022: Elam, Cook, Bernard. Two out of three starters 2021: Rousseau, Bashem, Brown. See above for 2022. 2020: Epenesa, Moss. Moss played a lot until traded. 2019: Oliver, Ford, Singletary. Two out of three again. Want to try again?

I recall hearing similar things for Poyer and Hyde. And McGovern.

Show me a FA WR that was better

Coleman and Palmer will be on the field together a lot I suspect

We will focus here, but major hole at S is a reach. Rapp and Bishop right now will start.

I am so tired of the “true #1 receiver” thing

And do we want to keep doing this, or how about we just see how the kid plays?

We would have had to do so from the beginning Greg Roman offense don’t forget.

I am happy with this move. There was not a big FA WR crop this year, and of what was available he ticks the boxes. And I did not think a guy like Metcalf was worth as much as some did; would rather have our draft picks.

It is not a mystery at all. The idea behind the offense was, and is, to spread the ball around. Not to focus on feeding one guy, like we did with Diggs. And it worked. Palmer fits in well. He can get separation which was somewhat of an issue for us at times. Can get down the field, and importantly can block.

To all this bitching and moaning, look at the crop of WRs that were available. Take out guys like Goodwin who didn’t want to leave their teams. Then look at what was available. Palmer was among the best for what was needed, a guy that can separate and get down field.

They do not have a QB and lost their LT

Because it was guaranteed we could move up…

So another year of not worrying about the Jets. And the Steelers have 2 WRs and no one to throw to them yet.

The first hour or two of free agency has historically been littered with teams way overpaying for guys that don’t live up to their contracts. You root for a team (at least I think you root for a team) that was one play away from going to the dance the last two years. You don’t just blow that up. I am sure Beane is busting his butt today, and has for the last couple weeks. But a lot of guys took less $$ to stay with their teams. There isn’t much that can be done about that.

A lot of guys are choosing to stay with their teams. I am sure Beane is talking with a lot of guys but it’s not like he can kidnap them.

The Browns said they would not trade him. So for anyone now that will blame Beane for not getting him, with all respect just shut it.

To the original point of the thread, he was hurt most of the season.

Best wishes to Josh and Hailee
