Prefer a blocking TE in free agency. Someone proven.  If that's what they want them might not want to pay both him and Chig.

Here’s something interesting I just discovered. The Titans have been using David Martin-Robinson as a run blocking TE ALOT the last three games, and he’s actually been quite good at it. 
He’s been in on 41 Run Blocking snaps over the last three weeks, more than the entire rest of the season combined. And the running game has vastly improved since they started using him there. 
His blocking grades are best of the TE’s by far. Maybe they have their guy?

Didn’t love have a lot of injuries in collage, idk, but it won’t get better in the pros. Might be a fluke. But something to take into consideration.

Give me some of that sweet week 17 development!!

You're talking about a joke where he doesn't play well.  That's the opposite of what I posted.

 

Cam playing WELL, not poorly, helps them win games.

 

The problem with your point all along is that you want Cam to develop ond play well but not well enough to actually win games.  That's a fine line to walk.

My point has been confirmed 13 out of 15 games this year. While I would like him to play well, it isnt necessary, thats you guys projecting again. I just want progress which he has shown all year and that is undeniable, win or lose he has improved. 

 

You can try and keep putting words in my mouth but since day one progress for all the players we plan to keep not just the rookies was my only real want for the year. 

Wins and losses were not part of it for me, sure i thought they would win a few more gsmes than last year so its a little disappointing, but another high draft pick was always a nice consolation prize.

The point is that your stance wants to cap his progress.  You want him to play well but not well enough to win games.

Some of his best games came in losses, your trying to put a glass ceiling on this to fit your narrative. 

 

Also, as iv said a dozen times. Progress doesnt always equate to good play. There are plenty of times we see him doing things better but the play doesnt work.

I've seen Josh Allen score on every single drive and lose a game. One of the greatest QB performances in history and lost. Cam can play lights out and we can still lose. Playing better makes it easier to win but it isn't the only thing and isn't a guarantee.

 

I've also seen multiple people here that wanted to tank at various points the last couple of years that are now acting like it's sacrilege.... and @oldschool has said on many many occasions that he doesn't believe in  momentum. But for some reason its important to have momentum now for next year - even though it doesn't exist, right?

 

Just be consistent.

The GM is also not elevating players that are back healthy, he's IR players for minor things, and he traded away highly contributing talent.... but somehow we are all in on winning?

Hey PassportTard, did Santa finally bring you that blowup doll you’ve been asking for or did you just get some more socks?

Seems like their are more offensive solutions in free agency and the draft can help the defense more

 

There's several solid CB options in FA. 

Riq Woolen and Jaylen Watson are who I want to chase. Both will be 27 when next season starts, are tall for the position, and QB rating against them is in the 70's for the last few years. Woolen was all-pro as a rookie with 6 ints and a 49 QBr

Hey Pal! Letting OS run you today?

 

But since you asked, I got some great swag. Several fine threads from a Japanese loop wheel mill, shoes, some shop equipment, and a trip among other things. 

 

Dd you finally get that jumbo sized whoopie cushion with real poop inside? Any new makeup patterns?

Sure Cam can progress without winning.  No one is disputing that.

 

But you still either wanted to see him win games or not.  Which is it?
