Anyone else feel this way?

QBS steered clear because we had crap TEs , crap QBs and crap coordinators. 

O’ Shaughnessy is a halfway decent number 2 TE by NFL standards.
Having him # 1 on your depth chart is far from ideal, but he’ll produce with TL distributing the ball.
If he’s healthy 500 yds and 4 YDs is achievable this year.  

At this point I’m more concerned about the line protecting consistently than what we’ll get out of TE in the passing game.

An animal on the African plain.

Like, maybe, a …. Giraffe?
