Why people still pine for Gresh is hard to figure out. I think he was a personal favorite for some of you guys, but we have a very promising young player behind Eifert in 3rd round pick Tyler Kroft. Kroft has been solid in Eifert's absence.

I agree with you.

Now that Eifert has emerged and used successfully as a receiving threat.

The problem I had with letting Gresham go was the uncertainty that Eifert would be durable enough and be used in that way consistently.

Yes there were flashes of it... but would it last? 

The track record of this team the last decade kind of loomed.

Even you have to admit Gresham was head and shoulders above the previous "applicants"... more like appli-cant's.

I'm glad he's gone because of his strange moodswings and disappearing act if the ball wasn't fed to him early in games.

Would it have been nice to see him step in during Eifert's absence?  Sure.  

Kroft is serviceable for the moment. Not too much of a threat for the long haul as TE #1 if need be this season.

It really all depends on plays designed in his realm of abilities.

As far as Palmer goes. Yeah his time here was winding down IMO.

Not sure if that was more of a mental thing or just needed a new scheme.

Who knows. Maybe Gruden might have been the remedy for that though.

You gotta admit it. Palmer would have loved him some AJ Green.

I am a huge Chad fan but the quite in the huddle would have made Palmer a tad bit happy in that point in time.
