If Marcedes Lewis was cut, almost every team in the NFL would go after him. I bet the Patriots would throw good money at him

Quote:Haha TMD is so mad Marcedes is playing good.

To be fair, he hasn't caught more than 54 yards and 4 receptions in any game this season. In today's NFL, averaging 43 YPG (the last 4 games) isn't going to justify how much he's getting paid. The Gabbert + Henne combination may suck, but combined, they'll throw for 3,500+ yards by season's end. That's more than enough production for Lewis to pick up a little more in the yardage category. He's been an OL since he got here (2011 included). 

 

Don't get me wrong, he's doing well NOW. Blocking or not, he hasn't produced outside of 2011.

You can blame JDR for that. When Lewis got here, he was the number one tight end in college and Mackey Award winner. Del Rio made him Mark Bruener.

To me, the Marcedes situation is very simple. He's a good tight end being played like an elite tight end. I would be happy to have Marcedes as the starting TE next year, but not at his current price. 

 

Marcedes at a reduced price > Cutting Marcedes > Keeping Marcedes on his current contract

The last what, 2 seasons ML has looked horrendous.  He couldn't catch a cold.  

 

But to deny his beast mode over the last 3 or 4 games is silly.  All I can hope for is that something has clicked with him.  Perhaps the QB and the coaching staff were compounding his issues.  

 

Let's he how he looks against the c'lots.  I hope Gus targets him early and often in this game.  And I hope he continues to play at this level.  If he does, that's a good sign for a future QB.  Who doesn't want a HUGE target to throw to up the middle and in red zone situations?

I just can't help but feel that his recent success has a lot to do with coaching and game planning.

It has a lot to do with Gabbert not throwing the ball.

 

How are you people missing this simple correlation?

Who's Gabbert?

Making up fictitious names to strengthen your point is meaningless..

Quote:....Only the players that deserve it. 

 

You've never heard me utter a single bad word about Fred, Jimmy (even though could have), Blackmon (see Jimmy), Brackens, McCardell, Mathis, and on and on. 

 

Players that are truly legit, I won't ever say a bad word about. Or "hate" on.

ok....what about the other 5 years?....

Quote:ok....what about the other 5 years?....

You mean the 5 years that included a probowl?

 

Yeah, those 5 years were just awful.

In all actuality, the reason for his lack or production in the past is moot as long as he continues on with his current production in the future.

Quote:ok....what about the other 5 years?....

 

Didn't you spend those 5 years telling us how terrible Del Rio was as a coach?

Quote:You mean the 5 years that included a probowl?

 

Yeah, those 5 years were just awful.

 

Oh, -A- probowl year in a contract year and average (at best) the remaining 8 years. Wonderful. Thats some high standards you set. 

Quote:Step1 - Hyperbolize the crap out of a player's poor performance however temporary it may be and deem him worthless


Step 2 - when said player rebounds - insult entire fan base for not agreeing with your initial lazy, knee-jerk analysis



...seems legit.

You forgot a step in between.


Say team should trade "worthless" player. Because even though he's "worthless" he'll be useful to another team.

One of the steps is comparing player to garbage or feces, right?

That's part of step 1 as well. Bonus points if you make fun of the way they run.
