[Hawkeye0202]

Can't see much downside to signing a vet presence......

Marcedes Lewis | Tight End | #89
Team: Unsigned Free Agent
Age / DOB: (34) / 5/19/1984
Ht / Wt: 6'6' / 267
College: UCLA
Drafted: 2006 / Rd. 1 (28) / JAC
Free agent TE Marcedes Lewis will visit the Packers this week.
Lewis was released by the Jaguars more than two months ago, and this is the first known interest we've seen emerge for him. He just turned 34 last week and spent 12 seasons with Jacksonville. Green Bay has Jimmy Graham and Lance Kendricks at tight end, but Lewis could provide help as a blocker. May 23 - 12:11 PM

We need to find out what WE have on the roster. Signing progress stoppers will do nothing to help this team!

No.

I’m not a fan of bringing this guy in but this whole “progress stopper” nonsense needs to go away. If a player isn’t good enough to beat the guy ahead of him on the depth chart that isn’t stopping progress that’s just not being good enough.

 

[JoeKing]

It seems some fans don't even want to give Dalton Shultz a chance. They just want to hire a progress stopper.

Who is Dalton Shultz not beating that's ahead of him on the depth chart? Give the guy a freaking chance before suggesting we hire a vet that won't allow this new guy to develop.

 

[Cowboy06]

No, too old, too slow. No more old players. Let's go young and draft the right type of players. I don't like stop gap players with the rare exception of perhaps a QB when you draft a rookie.

 

[big dog cowboy]

How many TE's do the Cowboys need?

Well watching schulz gametape doesn't really look promising.but hé dererves a chance as anybody else

And you are the game tape guru? Go tell that noise to the Dallas Cowboys scouting department.

I’m not for bringing this guy in but I am for having the best team on the field. A team built on production and results not on hopes and dreams.

Just because a player is keeping someone’s pet cat from seeing the field doesn’t make them a progress stopper.

Yes it does, that's the very definition. Shultz could be the next Witten but we'll never know by following what you want.

Bringing in a old vet is stopping progress to the younger players. It is taking snaps away from guys that need them! I do not have a "pet cat" as you put it. There are plenty of vet TEs out there who will still be out there when the season rolls around. If we cant find our guy on the roster by then, thats when you go get a vet.

Aaaaawww don't be mad

Mad about what? You thinking too highly of your own ability to evaluate game tape? No.

No i am not.just my opinion.but seems your a bigtime fan of Schulz so i ll let you,no problem lol

Your opinion is based on crap if you don't like his game tape. Stanford is a TE factory. Dalton Shultz will be a great TE, you will learn to love him if you give him a chance.

 

[Hawkeye0202]

Just me but it's has nothing to do with taking snaps away from younger players. The way I see it, a vet would simply be insurance if the younger players are slow to make the impact we expect. After all banking, the season 5 TE's with so little experience is risky at best. That's not to say they won't develop. In fact, I believe Wells, Jarwin or Schulz may have a chance to become NFL starters but the when. Forget Lewis for a second, but it's the thinking having vet in that room.

Ofcours they should give him a chance.we have good enough talents on TE.that position ll be fine

Not "they", "you". You are the game tape guru discounting him.
