But you did not understand the point I was trying to make unless you are seriously trying to claim that prior to '15 you predicted that Barnidge would have a 1000 yard season.  Got a link to you making that claim back then?

The fact is that right now there are quite a few players who have completed their first two years oin the league without doing much yet will go on to have great careers.  If you want to claim that you can predict everyone of them correctly then let me see you do it.

I understood the point you were *trying* to make, sure. But you failed at it. You're arguing for a potential longshot, while I am saying take the sure thing.

You can't refuse to upgrade a team simply because you can't prove that crappy/backup players are only crappy/backup players. On one hand you have a thoroughly bleh TE, and on the other you have one who has over 1,600 yards the last two years. Take the second one, he makes your team better.

Ignoring a productive player in order to keep a crappy one who may or may not have potential is how you end up with shitty situations like Green and Eifert being hurt, and Uzomah being relied upon to help carry the offense. Or Whitworth leaving in FA and Ogbuehi being the starting LT.

I am sure Uzomah would be an adequate 3rd TE. I just don't want him being the guy who is relied upon when (not if) Eifert goes down. That's a losing proposition.
