No Deep threat = no Chance in the playoffs... please give Simpson or Free Agent a chance!!!

We’ve beat this subject to death.

I’m with you on trying out Simpson. But you gotta realize that the problem is Bratkowski, the O line, and finally Palmer. Even if we had another big time threat in there Bratkowski wouldn’t know how to use him, the O line wouldn’t be able to protect Palmer, and ultimately Palmer wouldn’t be able to get him the ball.

Purify is mainly active because he is a gunner. But what good will putting Simpson on the field do if he’s never thrown to. It’s obvious CP9 only trusts Esteban. Simpson stretching the field doesn’t really matter in the passing game unless CP9 makes his reads and stops throwing to Esteban in triple coverage. And with the way Coles blocked yesterday(not good), Simpson as a decoy could give our ground game some new life. I’ve come around and mostly agree with you. I just don’t know if our OC/HC/QB committee is creative enough to maximize the potential results this could bring. After the last four games, I say that our OC/HC/QB are not creative enough. The problems with the passing game go beyond whether or not Simpson is on the field. Losing Henry killed the passing offense. Combined with lack of creativity on offense.

Mikey is not going to step in

Normally they don’t keep somebody for two tears and just sit him without giving him a shot in real game time before releasing him. Last year doesn’t count b/c of Carson being hurt and you can’t tell what kind of talent he is without a descent QB. And as for him being dumb and not knowing plays and routes, you don’t know that for a fact. Who the hell gave you that information? Remember the issue with Coffman, nobody knew.

I don’t know if you remember the 90’s. They were way worse than this. And by the way the early 00’s were bad too. We have Mikey to thank for the memories and as long as we are mediocre, putting money in his pocket, well it doesn’t matter anyway. Mikey and family are here to stay for another 21 years. Get the FU#$ over it or cheer for the Stoolers. I feel your pain bro! Just cross your fingers and hope things change like long time fans have been doing for years.. It sucks!

I agree that going for the FG down 16 in the 4th was a pussy move. I’ll go even further and say that punting on 4th and 3 down 13 with 6 minutes left in the game was even more of a pussy move. I also have to agree with WHYUS? and say that it is better than the 90’s. The 90’s tested this fanbase and our staying power like no other decade. I also agree that as long as Lewis is our HC, we’re not gonna be anything more than a one and done team. Unless we get a creative/Aggressive OC who doesn’t let up once we’re up two scores

As for Palmer, I like the guy and the memories of him are mostly good. But he is really starting to turn into exactly what I feared he was, the next coming of Drew Bledsoe. He hasn’t been the same since getting hurt in 05, and then again last year.
