Quote:People overblow Lewis' lack of production and miscues because there are Antonio Gates, Jimmy Graham's, and Gronkowski's out there scoring TDs every week.


And Lewis is stuck trying to help the O-line block and not really used a lot of a pass catcher.

He's also getting older and not really getting better with a big contract.


Lewis can only do what is asked of him.

The problem is the Lewis is getting paid like an elite TE when he's not.  Same as Scobee - highest-paid kicker in the game, but definitely not the best.  

 

We need truly elite players and we don't have them on the roster - or at least our young players haven't developed enough to be in the elite category.  I hold out hope that some of our young WR's/CB's have that potential, BB5 will develop into an elite QB.
