Kirby Jackson Posted November 19, 2015 Posted November 19, 2015 This just in, Scott Chandler is still a bad football player. Despite what many here believed to be a Pro Bowl year, Chandler has looked like the same unathletic borderline #2 TE that he was here. I don't know where everyone went that was predicting a monster year from a below average player but here's Mike Reiss to tell you more: http://espn.go.com/blog/new-england-patriots/post/_/id/4787682/exploring-why-te-scott-chandler-hasnt-had-more-impact-with-patriots
The Real Buffalo Joe Posted November 19, 2015 Posted November 19, 2015 The only issue I ever had with releasing Chandler, was counting our chickens before they hatched and releasing him before Clay was officially ours. However, he is, so no harm no foul. Clay, clearly an upgrade over Chandler.
YoloinOhio Posted November 19, 2015 Posted November 19, 2015 The Pats* need better pro scouts. Or they could have saved time and looked on TBD for all the info they are just now discovering. Their expectations with him were hilariously high.
Utah John Posted November 19, 2015 Posted November 19, 2015 Clay is clearly better than Chandler. But who among our other tight ends is better than Chandler? Or for that matter, Lee Smith? None, as far as I can see.
Deranged Rhino Posted November 19, 2015 Posted November 19, 2015 Clay is clearly better than Chandler. But who among our other tight ends is better than Chandler? Or for that matter, Lee Smith? None, as far as I can see. Every TE on the roster blocks better than Chandler, which is why they're here and he isn't.

The season isn't over yet though, so I didn't feel the need to jump the gun. I have no problem admitting when I'm wrong. It will be cool when others on the board do the same...

LB3 Posted November 20, 2015 Posted November 20, 2015 He has not played up to my expectations. I never said he'd have a monster year though, I just thought that he wasn't nearly as bad as you claimed him to be.

Kudos to you for owning it
LB3 Posted November 20, 2015 Posted November 20, 2015 Kudos to you for owning it The Spiller thread is waiting for you...
Kirby Jackson Posted November 20, 2015 Author Posted November 20, 2015 The Spiller thread is waiting for you...Ha ha, didn't see it but I was wrong. I thought (and still do) that his skill set would be perfect in Payton's offense. Well, that certainly hasn't happened and I wasted 2 different fantasy picks on him. There's something with Spiller that just doesn't add up. He should be a dynamic weapon (a rich man's Dion Lewis) but he just can't play.

None, as far as I can see. the article is about the discrepancy in what the Pats thought they were getting and expected (a return to their 2 TE sets like with Gronk/Hernandez) and what they actually got (Chandler, who isn't close to Hernandez talent-wise). Not about why Buffalo cut him. He didn't fit the TE role in Roman's system and he wasn't good enough to change the system and be put out there as just a mediocre pass catcher taking up a spot. There were actually pats media and fans declaring before the season that they had two elite TEs. I wanted to know who the hell the other one was. Chandler is a depth TE and they see that now. Not sure why they had their sites set so high. Edited November 20, 2015 by YoloinOhio
ALLEN1QB Posted November 20, 2015 Posted November 20, 2015 How did everyone like that TD pose last week. Embarrassing

LB3 Posted November 20, 2015 Posted November 20, 2015 thats what the article said. But film don't lie. There's nothing like hope though.
YoloinOhio Posted November 20, 2015 Posted November 20, 2015 (edited) There's nothing like hope though.holding, offense #84. 10 yard penalty, still 3rd down Edited November 20, 2015 by YoloinOhio

However, he is, so no harm no foul. Clay, clearly an upgrade over Chandler. They had a plan and chandler was not a part of the offense he is the opposite of what Roman wants I see no problem with it. He's not a quick or multi purpose TE I was actually more confident with them after the move
